In the year i've been with Roadway, I have never seen a 53'. The ocasional 48' coming inbound. Which we turn over as soon as we can, and the two we keep on the yard. We were told by our TM that the only TR's RDW is purchasing this year are 53's and to expect to see more of em'. He went as far as to say that any new tractors bought this year would be tandems, to keep line dvrs from having to jiff up?
Has anyone else heard anything similar?
