Hey JimmyB.........the newest pups we got at 671 are Wabash. As far as the retired pups, Pines etc., all brands. I don't know what qualifies those pups to be pulled out of service. I do know that the mileage (although estimated) is kept up on the RDWY computers. It may be date of mfg, or mileage, or how many forklift holes I put into them the last 12 years!!:punk: DS.JimmyB said:DS,
Was wondering what brand of trailers these new 28ft deck units are, Wabash National?
Also, what brand are the old smooth side trailers that are being vacated from the roster?

Another welcome to the boards there johndeere.........congradulations on your recent retirement! I will check with our garage manager and see who's getting those trailers. I did see a couple of them leaving out Monday. DS.johndeere said:I am an ex CF, Yellow, and Holland line driver recently retired. I am doing disaster relief work for the Presbyterian Church in the south east. We might be interested in some of these pups if they come up for sale at a fair price. Anybody know who a good contact would be at Roadway. Thanks
I'm not quite that bad!! Plus Timmy K. would sue me for stealing his title!!:bicycle: DS.serta said:We did hear your nickname on the dock was "shredder" :Banane01:

I will get the Charlotte TM name and number tonight when I go back into work for ya.... and PM it cuz of the full name rules on the board here....johndeere said:We would be interested in trailers within a couple of hundred miles of Charlotte, NC. If any one can give me a TM name and number or a shop manager number that I can call, it would be greatly appreceated. I just took down some donated UPS freight trailers that we turned into shower trailers for the volunteer workers down in Gulfport, MS.
We are also looking for a good day cab so we don't have to keep renting from Penske. I know trhis might be a tall order as most of the tractors I saw pulled off line were really ragged out, but maybe someone in one of the shops knows of a roadworthy unit that is for sale. Thanks to all my union brothers for all your help. John Deere
