I am thinking to lease on to Packard Transport LLC base in IL, any insight will be appreciated.

This will not help, but quite a few years ago and old guy in an old 71 or 2 model CO called me from he truckstop with a flat on his steer tire. He was leased to packard, I want to say ran out of the Dallas area.
It had 10.00 20 rubber and I could not find a hole in the tube, something that is easy. I waisted quite a bit f time looking, I could find nothing in the tire either. I finally put a new tube in it, he had one of his own and put it back together, but told him if something was in the tire, it may go down again.
Once I made the bill and charged him for the flat, I didn't charge service calls to the truckstop because it was so close, he told me that he had let the air out himself, it wouldn't go flat again. lol I was not real happy and ask him why he let me waist all the time looking for it.
This was his answer. he had a fleet of trucks leased to packard and every once in a while he would run a load himself, in that old cabover he started with, and do stuff like this finding shops to deal with that didn'ttry and rip him off. lol
I wound up getting a good tip out of it.
He was happy with packard, but like I said, that was years ago.

 

I'm pm ing you now.

 

Interested myself.
