    Fed-Up as I like to call them has a greed problem, and I'm glad they are taking major hits and I hope they go under. A little payback for all the lives they have effected by all their lying recruiters to upper mgt. Garman

    panther suck

    (Moderators to reviuw postings?) Sure sounds like total lack of FREEDOM OF SPEACH to me! Also if one of the Moderators is personally offended by a bash against their company they think likes them, for all their trucks they have leased onto, the posting simply goes away I have seen. Welcome...

    any expeditor lease operator companies

    Go to work for Walmart! At least your home every night, nobody in their right mind would ever consider getting into this business especially right now. On top of driving you have to manage your business and there is a whole other bag of crap to deal with. Garman

    2006 Hino

    Great Job Daveke: I like your comment with your fictional analysis of a Hino only getting a decent Mpg unless it's going off a cliff. Unless you drive a Hino your torque & horse power numbers are a nice put down on paper only, but we drive a Hino and we get over 10 Mpg on a regular basis unless...
