    because I drove for them -

    they SUCK because they don't let you idle and you don't have a generator....
    The shippensburg Terminal has some of the weirdest office staff I've encountered, and they are extremely 'anti-driver' in their sentiments.

    many nights with frozen hands/arms shivering - also their trailer fleet? extremely old, some trailers from 1998, 99 etc
    and no I don't know about dr. pepper account.

    yes, to the max where you have to spend up to an hour getting the tandem into the right pin for weight distribution

    If I was to consider a lease/purchase, I'd look at Dartco Inc. or Colonial Freight Systems www.cfsi.com
    There's another one in Tampa; Shelton Trucking Service.
    You asked about lease/purchase earlier.

    They are the worst.. And I'm telling you that from experience they literally do not know what the right hand from the left is doing
