Interested in a poll.

Who here works at a building where it’s nothing but brandy new Freightliners and KW’s? Let’s get a breakdown of brand new equipment, and beat up equipment. I know there is buildings like this. Willow is nothing but brand new tractors. In front of the feeder building it’s nothing but brand new KW’s.

I’ll start. Probably 30% of fleet brand new within last year. 20% rentals. 30% not new but decent equipment. 272,274 Mack’s. Older KW’s. 20% garbage that shouldn’t even be on the road.

Manual. All our Mack’s are. The KW’s and Freights are all autos.

Assigned tractors we got everything from 272 Macks to brand new KWs and Freightliners. Spares are a mix of Sterlings and old Internationals.

I'm surprised such a small building has any sleeper runs. What do they do when a sleeper driver calls out at the last minute? Can they force the bottom coverage driver to ride with them if no one else takes the job?

We have last minute sleeper work all the time but can't be forced in my building.
