    My father and I are about to purchase a truck. This company runs automotive freight. They have out and back daily, not saying I wont stay out. I found a freightliner classic xl 70inch condo 750000miles for $35000 s60 Detroit 13speed and a 9400 eagle 710000miles $36000 isx cummins 72inch sleeper 10speed. my question is does the web site info for this company sound decent? I still need to figure out what mileage or % is. Ill plate and put bobtail insurance on the truck.

    Under who's authority, yours or theirs? Also if you are coming home everyday you can save money and weight buying a truck without a sleeper.

    JT Express is a good company.

    You live in a excellent location to lease to them.

    They haul a lot of Toyota Freight out of Princeton,In.

    They pay percentage. You will have very little dead head as long as you haul Toyota Freight.

    Dennis and Derrell Breeden are good guys.
