    I think they run day cabs, back busters.

    Most LTL's do. Even for line haul.

    The day cab design is not why they ride so rough, the short wheelbase is the reason.

    Drive an axle forward stretched frame day cab & they ride just as good as any sleeper truck

    Not to mention, the suspension. I drove an old KW that was a spring axle day cab.
    Talk about a rough ride. The clutch on that thing was stiffer than any other clutch I've ever known, too. Making the day a real JOY. . .NOT.:mad:

    I heard R&L invested in some fancy seats for their day cabs. I guess upgraded. Read it somewhere if someone can confirm it or not. Just wondering.

    Most terminals have a rack that you lock your jack to. And they let you do payroll deduction for a brand new Wesco jack at like $5 dollars a week. Then if you quit, they buy your jack back at a percentage.
