He has a 07' timpte, and he has a frieghtliner truck. I have no idea what the truck is, it is a little older but it looks like a nice truck and I know he does a well job at keeping things fixed on it and maintained. But I guess I never payed attention to what it really was. Ill be coming through saturday afternoon ill be taking I-24 to Nashville and then I-40 across to NC. Give me a call anytime day or night and if I dont answer leave me a message cause when I dont have cell signal your number will not show on my phone so i wont be able to call you back. Thanks

Why don't you pull for someone so you get a feel of what to buy. It took me a couple of tries before i found what i needed not what i wanted. Call a few guys in the industry before you jump, most are glad to give some advice

84" for flexability on what you can haul and we haul no M&B, prefer not to haul fert and salt. No drivers and the grass is always greener on the otherside for Owner Op's we've had our share always gave them preference over company trucks, but to no avail. Just to honest to flat ass lie about how this business works and what it costs to run. Find me 20 honest hard working drivers or owner ops and i'll take them off the board. Maybe even send you some bounty money hows that!
