Well Henderson trls have Missouri plates on them now..saw one the other day.Chinatown Thanks this.
-
I believe the Prime trailers they pull have Henderson logo on the mudflaps. I know Wil-Trans pulls Prime trailers and has Wil-Trans mudflaps logo.
-
That's because prime did buy all the Henderson trailers and have sold most of them off with the exception of some rail trailers , and as for the mud flaps lol seeing as how prime freight is alot of drop and hook it would be hard to keep the right mud flaps with the right companyChinatown Thanks this.

Swift isn't nearly as bad as everyone says, if you think it'll work for you then go. (does this make me a recruiter...lol)
I've been with them for a couple months now. If you do decide to go to Swift you'd be smart to have some money saved before you start. The training pay isn't great.
Prime is a good company, $700/week through training but you'll have less home time and the training period is twice as long.
Starter companies truly are all nearly the same. I've said this before, one might pay more with less home time while the other pays less with more home time. Just find the right fit for you.
Swift's passenger policy starts day one of employment as well. Many companies make you wait six months to a year before they'll allow a rider. -
Do a year somewhere and move on. Holland Enterprises is good and has rider policy from day one, pus satellite tv, xm radio, Tripac apu, refrigerator/freezer. That's the way to go if you're planning to stay on the road and bank money.
Sneakerfix and drvrtech77 Thank this. -
Swift has driver facing cameras... so they are terrible! Period!
-
They just bought a flatbed company "Tennant Truck Lines"
-
not even all of the 2016's have them. In my time at the company I have still not been able to find someone who actually has one.
So give it another year or two, then they'll be truly terrible!
My truck does turn cruise control off when I turn the wipers on though. So #### annoying. So I leave the cruise control on and drive without wipers, take that safety! -
