    I've only had multi temp trailers since coming back, and it can weigh over 37000 empty with these trailers.

    Joe not to bother you but could you explain more about it. Ive only hauled regular single temps. Does Lessors run only multi or is it a mix of single and multi temp.

    no bother my friend. More single than multi, multi are for specialty loads where they need different temps. We have maybe 25-30 of them, mostly for chicken to the west. Then we have dry vans for the entertainment side.

    Cool. I noticed you run hard, wait that's an understatement. You run REALLY hard and use your hours to the fullest. Does Lessors always do that or is it a mix of hard and light running?? I ask all these questions cause its good to know about a company.

    Depends on the driver. I like to stay busy. Since I started back in a truck here March 7, I've run over 6,000 miles. There are some that won't or can't. We have some short hauls. A lot are two day 1,000-1200 mile runs.

    I'm sure curious minds wanna know but how hard is it to get on with the entertainment division?? What do you know about them cause their website doesn't say much.

    You can apply through the website, and you can be "promoted" within the company. They've pulled drivers off the reefer side to help out with the music a few times, and some have asked some to run on it while others have requested it. I personally have no interest in it, so it doesn't matter to me. To many though, it's a selling point to come over here to get to pull the country and other music/entertainment stuff.
