    Budweiser anywhere.

    There's two distributors in Phoenix area. One is in Chandler.

    Chandler schedules appointments, but is FCFS.

    Chandler takes a MAX of 21 trucks a day, but schedules 22 or 23 ( by appointment).

    Never went there line haul, only completing line hauls as an hourly local driver.

    Personally witnessed two different fights on the street between drivers to get in.

    The one in Phoenix isn't much better. Minimum 4 hours, maybe up to 8.

    This guy passed me today in a beautiful newer W900. Unfortunately, the beauty of that truck going by me was ruined by the ugliest, old crappy dry van I've seen in awhile! LOL Something just not right about that ;-)

    Thx for the likes y’all. Let me give you a taste of fleet ownershipness. Lol.

    Just got a call that one of my 2021 Kenworth 680’s got the front bumper torn off while the driver was asleep by no less then a Mexican carrier.
    Yay! So happy a Mexican carrier was in Kentucky and totally F’d my situation. Woot woot!

    Awesome!

    Had it not been him, it would have been a Swift recruit.
    Or Hirschbach - Two years ago one of their recruited drivers from Africa torn off my deer guard.
    Something like that was written for you by the Trucking Gods.
    Are the Mexican carriers still on the pilot program here? I hope they did not let them drive all over the country without any limits now. Allowing them to drive here is not very reciprocal. Who in their right minds would venture going down there across the border to deliver freight to them?
