    Ooh that would have been something. First he had the bawls to try it with a sleeper truck no less... Second it's a dock, let's get that trailer in there.

    I love that.

    Is it doable with a sleeper if you're good? We have a real tight NHM that they send us out with a 45' trailer, but then Swift will pull in with a full sleeper and 53' reefer. Those poles are no longer yellow..

    I like the razor wire in the photo. Looks like you're delivering at a neighborhood prison. Can get in some dandy areas for sure.

    does wal-mart really plan on cutting down its fleet size? possibly going to contractors and contracts like Schneider for the future?

    Only time will tell, the new guy they brought in has a specialty in eliminating private fleets for corporations and each time he speaks he does not sound like he likes us Wally drivers.
