    From what I have been hearing from Navajo drivers the past two years they ain't what they used to be

    Try to keep up. I stated facts about my working for Western Express. You then cast aspersions about the company and its employees and then don’t understand my post? I find that disingenuous. Got it?

    To the OP. I was a brand new driver. They gave me a brand new tractor. I deliver on time and run 3000 miles a week. I make good money for such little experience. The company has supported me in every way to help me be successful. They don’t micromanage me. The company out west has even made great strides since I onboarded back in July. I see brand new tractors for drivers every time I visit the yard. Yes there’s some filthy tractors out there normally attached to a filthy drivers. That can be said about any company and even owner ops.

    This site is a wonderful resource. Listen to some of those veteran posters, but verify for yourself. It’s your life and their opinions don’t pay your bills.

    That's some good advice right there. Whether in trucking or anything else.

    Oh Lordt! You might offend Pocahontas. The girl on the side of their trucks is obviously of European decent, and she has blue eyes. Supposedly its the owner's daughter . They couldnt even use a real Native American.. :)

    Lol. The Navajo trucks in your pictures are not from the same Navajo that you guys are talking about, the trucks in the pictures are Navajo Freightlines, which was a ICC common carrier. The Navajo in the pictures above has been out of business for many years, a victim of economic deregulation in the 1970’s. Long story short post deregulation Navajo Freightlines fell on hard times and was bought out by ABF. ABF sold the trademark to Don Digby, who then created the truckload carrier Navajo Express we know today.

    Good to see your stance didn't change. ;)

    I wasn't plugging any of the choices for the OP. The end of the post I quoted was the good advice part.

    Personally...I say go with Navajo. At lest you'll never lose your rig at a truck stop with those crazy colors!

    Sirscrapntruckalot - I got my taco fix. 10 of them. An no I don't care if their bad for me or not. :)
