    If you are asking about the tractors, we run Volvo and Freightliners and they are ok, not spectacular but ok. If you are asking about Averitt, I feel like they are a good company, definitely not for everyone, but overall a good company. Averitt runs primarily in the southeast but also St Louis and Chicago.

    Pretty much what Radman said, when I hired on at Saia in 2018 there were still some 2012 model year Internationals that were manual transmission and oddly enough still some 2008 model Volvos that were manual, this was in Arizona and they were used as p&d trucks, but now they are all gone, everything is all auto now and the oldest trucks I am seeing anymore is 2016.

    The city pay scale that shows on the llnk is off by quite a bit. We are over $30 an hour now.
