What's new

Yellow | Any word on new tractors at your barn?

Thursday 653 (Charlotte) had two of the 50 new Freightliner trucks come in to be put into service. Glad to see there are two large back windows instead of the one small window that our other Freightliners have. We have also seen some of the new Stoughton pups come through. The best way to spot them is that on the corners of the nose there is a vertical strip of aluminum and I think the trailer numbers start with 132. Now if we could just get rid of some of those non deck pos trailers that we seem to have too many of! Dock guys know what I'm talking about. DS

That's all well and good until a glad hand comes through it and hits someone in the head then we'll riveting a piece of aluminum over a 1/4 of it again....................

You are suppose to unhook the glad hands before you move away from the trailer...:hysterical:

I nearly hurt myself laughing so hard. I had forgotten all about that silliness.
 
We, at Ong/896, just got 4 new (to us) /used, city units. White Freightliner Pro Stars, all with 350 to 400k. JR (oops, I used initials, I hope no one freaks out) brought those with him on his visit Thursday. Seen a few of the new pups also. The tractors look decent, and just about broken in. The new pups are real nice, to bad there's only a few floating throughout the system. Reddaway seems to have a pretty nice looking fleet, at least in SoCal they do.
 
Atleast now they are spending our 15% on equipment, rather than lining their pockets like theyve been doing since they started stealing our hard earned money

Sad. Just sad. This picture is a perfect example of what damage the parasite yellow has done to good companies.

Scratch that! The new/used tractors are Internationals, and from what our mechanic tells me, they're junk. Go figure. Then again I'm from Yellow, I'm used to junk.
