    Totally true. A driver from KLLM told me while we were fueling up.

    Verified it on the interweb.

    Wow, KLLM is really stepping up their game, or appears to be. I wonder if they'll start driving Peterbilt's and KW's.

    They do have some Volvos as well, but mainly Freightliners.

    I was told they bought the rights to Diamond Reo trucks and will start manufacturing them again and that will be their signature truck fleet.

    I'm assuming the rumor that swift bought walmart would fall in this spot?

    Swift wouldn't want to buy WalMart, the former big box giant is going to be bankrupt after settling the civil suit regarding the recent accident.
