Don't hold me to this, they told me in the Garage @ 135 Hsbg. they will be Macks & Volvos. Then A Charlotte 653 Driver was saying Volvos & Freightliners, Another Driver said they were giving an Atlanta 422 3 MM Driver, a Freigthliner with the camera system in it to test, so, who knows we will have to wait and see. Maybe KK has some info about ATL.

Anything new will be welcomed.

I trust what I hear in the driver's room just slightly more than what I hear in the can! :LMAO:
 
On the sleepers we don't need any damn camera"s, what we need is twin screws These single axel tractors with no differential lock are a death trap in the mountains
 
the anti slip is an feature that has been a problem
for most all equipment. As a result anti slip
engages now automatically in most new trucks..

What you need is maximum weight on the axle - single or tandem, it doesn't matter. Frankly, on a slick road I'd rather have a heavy single than a not-so-heavy tandem.

There are but a handful of those that remain, that might make it roll.

But, first it must be upgraded to the YRC paint scheme....

(Not to mention the whole emissions standards thingy....)
