Well WDNY , I don't have any info for ya, sorry. I don't think anyone will answer your questions here either. Seems any post asking for info on a company is not answered promptly. It seems to me that if you want to truck then find a tractor and trailer instead of this MINI trucker stuff. I just drove 2200 miles and only saw two straight trucks. One Panther and one parked behind a guys house being used as a barn!...lol Realy! I never went out East and wouldn't unless I had to in order to buy air. It seems to me the best loads are for flat beds. Good luck and don't believe everything said about straight trucks..other than there are alot of them for sell.
