    What do you folks know about Great Plains ie sister company of Holland? I almost signed on with them but the son Mike really turned me off. His dad Bob seemed like a really good guy but just didn't care for sons tactics.

    My old van had what was referred to as a California Spread. The center of the rear axle was 10' infront of the dock bumpers and the front axle was 10' 2" ahead of the rear axle. Turned on a dime, but sometimes I only wanted a nickle.

    Don't know a lot about how Great Plains is run, but I do know that I never see any of their drivers happy, they don't buy trucks as often, and get loads after Holland drivers are taken care of. They're all the same family, and run out of the same building, it's weird. Great Plains does not have a yard. Holland drivers always seem content.
