    My drivers not only see the offers, they decide what to take. There are a bunch of us owners who run like this and it makes us money.

    I hope that 3.77 a ton is a typo.

    Hello, does anybody have warranty coverage on their trucks to cover engine, transmission and etc repairs to prevent out of pocket expenses? Trying to decide if that's a good route to take. Thanks for any suggestions and insights on how to get repairs done more cost efficient.


    Thank you
