    Hey guys,

    I'm curious if there are any companies in the midwest that run 379's still. Let's exclude Oklahoma and Tx from the list. I'm not ready to buy another one yet, so until I am I want to truck in a 379 not these plastic, computer having automatic pos's.

    If I couldnt find a 379 when I was looking a year ago, I wouldn’t even be in this bussiness these days. Love firing up my truck every morning

    The type of truck isn't what makes a steering wheel holder.

    I know of a bunch, but they’re almost ALL in Oklahoma and Texas. Only one I can think of right off hand is Farmers Oil out of Anthony.

    Lmao......TMC?!!?!? All jokes aside, if you're going as a company driver, what does it matter what type of trucks they have? There are a lot of steering wheel holders that drive 379s and a lot of truly professional drivers driving everything else
     
    Dan.S, JReding, Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this.

    A good sign of a steering wheel holder is someone who is caring about the looks of the truck above all else.....
