    Um, it was because I pulled that load before Heartland, the Buske reefers were in better shape than the GTI reefers, there are reefers that are over 10 years old, the newest being a 2011. Have been told by several that the TC side shrunk from 300 to 220. A lot of this trailers are in sad shape, I can't believe they are still on the road. Heartland/GTI invested millions of dollars in new dry vans and not one new reefer. Hard to believe you're going to "expand" while not putting any investment into it.

    TC was not at 300 in November. The number today is within 5 drivers of what it was in November. I don't expect to convince you otherwise, but am just sharing the information I have. Thanks

    You 2 need to straighten up before I put you in time out...

    All is well now and.we no longer care about the heartland deal. It has brought us all to a better place...

    on another note...

    the specialist I saw a couple of weeks ago called me today. Before I left he wanted to perform 1 more test just to be on the safe side... turns out ths results weren't very good and I have to go in and have a biopsy done.

    so here I go again...

    he said if he sees anything that appears to be malignant that he will remove the affected area.... but I will live even if it were cancer it is 98% recovery rate... and I should be up and running in a week or 2 ...

    We still have some Buske trailers. Most are 4 axle but two or three are 2 axle. I wish we could get rid of all of them cause they are all junk.

    Those reefers were in better shape than the old GTI reefers.

    Tow I came across this thread and read it I hope you do not mind that I entered into your thread. I hope that all goes well with the biopsy and that it is not cancer.

    I saw an SEC truck headed north on I81 last Thursday about the Atkins area was that you?

    That is Atkins Va. I forgot to mention the state. I guess it was Atkins it was around where the Utility trailer place is.
