    In the mid 2000s, they bought out Schneider glass hauling. The reefers came about in 2009, iirc. New trailers and aero deflectors on top of the mid roofs.

    I haven't seen many of them in quite awhile, I believe the undercutting going on currently has encouraged them to cut their losses.

    CRST has a temp controlled division, too, and I haven't seen many of those, either.

    Still see SchneiderTC division, WernerTC division, and even some Swift reefers pulled by Swift tractors around Chicagoland.

    There is a small fleet of Schneider glass haulers still. I think it's a small dedicated fleet that pulls glass to Viracon. I see them every once in a while pulling out of Spring Hill, had to do a double take the 1st time I saw it, but they have newer Cascadias

    I'd see them on us 61 north and south of DeWitt, IA, they used a truckstop north of us 30 in the southeast part of town, Maverick took them over and rebranded the orange tractors as Maverick, the double drop trailers looked old at that time.

    Ron is still in business. He’s with a different company now up here in NWA. I worked with him for a while when I was a dispatcher at Maverick Refrigerated.

    Thank you kindly. I asked for and got the Road Trip FLD120 from his Operatons Manager back in 98 he probably will have a idea more or less. I am in his debt to the future he provided for when I left Maryland behind.
