    My Rick got his truck after 2.5 years. He got his truck, and the 6/2 that he wanted within a week. This was not expected, as many drivers would go 6-8 years at Buckeye, before getting their own truck. This only happened for him due to a large amount of retirements.

    Matt has the sister truck to Ricks. I believe they are within 10-20K miles of each other, and both 2012 Freightliners. Rick likes the brand new Petes with the wider cab, but really did not like the 2014's. The narrow cab was odd, and there just wasn't much room inside of them. Plus, they had a terrible turning radius.

    Congrats to all the new folks coming on. Pay it forward and enjoy the ride.
