Need any info from Sammons Drivers, I am looking into there lease purchase program.

What are the price of them?

 

45-50K

 

So they are actually pretty reasonably priced

 

It seemed that way to me. I looked at truckpaper for 2 months before jumping and found most of what I would consider going to look at, were in the 42-68K range. But, I couldn't get financed; not bad credit, just no recent history.

 

As much as I'm not a freightliner fan Gordon keeps good care of their trucks, so they should be good trucks

 

I'm suprised at the fit and finish of the freightliner compared to the KW's that the other company has. The freightliner is measurably better (doors seal tight, was the most noticable) the fuel gauge is very accurate as is the speedometer. There are some rattles that I need to track down, and it is not as quiet. I liked the single pane windshield on the KW, not so much for visibility but for cleaning.

 

How is their load board?

 

I've been looking at it all day, and it's kind of bare. You can access it with a laptop/tablet/phone. it's a text based terminal and pretty easy to navigate. But, if it stays this bare I'm spending the money to get a subscription to internet truckstop.

 

So can you grab loads from any loadboard? Was there also any mention of DSV taking over?

 

Yes, any loadboard, as long as the broker passes credit check. Yes, DSV is the name on the door now.
