    When deregulation was going to take place, J.B. Hunt knew that, private fleets would be wide open for a company like his. Around that time J.B. Hunt him self said we need to target the private fleets because at the end of the day, we can take a burden off of these companies and it's good business for J.B. Hunt, because now shipping is going to be easier. That's just what J.B. Hunt did.

    Wal-Mart's private fleet uses flatbeds, where? No seriously I'm asking in what part of the country? I'm not saying they don't I really want to know, what part of the country does Wal-Mart's private fleet pull flatbeds? I've never seen it, but it might just be where I live.

    Southern DCs have been doing dirt and mulch. Stores like them better. Heard we may start doing other lawn and garden stuff.

    That was my thought too, especially since Walmart was doing a fair amount of radio advertising for a driver recruiting fair they just had in Portland Maine 2-weeks ago.

    Over the past month up here in New England, I've mostly seen WM tractors pulling WM trailers with a small batch of Western tractors pulling WM trailers too. Needless to say, before that, it seemed like mostly Primer tractors pulling WM trailers up in this region.
