    Sometimes I see them at my place in NJ so I would say they go to the east coast.

    Yeah they told me that they are heavy here on the East Coast especially the North East. I talked to a guy that drove for them a few years ago and he seemed to like it. I cant find anything good or bad about them

    Here is what i got in return to an email in my quest to find out more info.

    [FONT=&quot]We haul mostly Frozen Foods and primarily Ohio to the east coast NJ-PA-MD-NY and the New England states we do run some South East but not a lot. We get you home 3 out of 4 weekends on an average. We are specking all of our Newer trucks with APUs that are 2010 and newer and that is over half the fleet and all the trucks with APUs have 1500 watt inverters.....But when you start you will probably have one of the older trucks so the answer is yes our shop will install your inverter. The answer to your last question is that about 50% of our freight is drop and hook which means the other 50% is live load or unload and we do our best to get drivers in and out of docks in a couple of hours but I would be a big fat liar if I told you this happens every time.[/FONT]

    Sounds like an honest response I see them too at grocery dcs on the east coast nice equipment. I talked to a few but just about he weather and roads to use and stuff. Do you know if they manufacture there own products? Cause if they do it's got to be a good job. I work directly for a manufacturer of our own products and it's a sweet gig.

    They never did manufacturer anything. They started as a produce hauler, hauling their own produce.

    Hey Thank You for the info. Sounds like a descent outfit and I like the fact that they are a smaller company. The North East does not bother me too much. Thats where ive been running at primarily.
