    Less likely then, but 56 CPM is in line with short distance loads. Ask them how many miles per week the drivers average on that account, and how many stops. Not how many loads. How many stops.

    Hi everyone,
    -I'm new with CDL and I'm looking to buy a used freightliner between the years 2007-2011. What is the best option for me in regards to reliability, best model, best engine and trans. Please any information will be very helpful for me on my purchase.

    I would suggest that the driver gain 2 years experience driving before trying to lease or own a truck.

    Let someone else pay for your mistakes while you are learning.

    What kind of trucking will you be doing? We can't really advise you on what to buy unless we know how you're going to use it.

    Remember always that friends don't let friends drive for CRST or CR England. Not even a Hatfield would want a McCoy to drive for those sorry outfits.
