Seriously I did like that truck,

I wish you were right smoke. I have an 05 international road unit.:red_bandana:
 
I love mine in my 05 Volvo VNM, although I liked the Meritor 12 speed auto I had in my KW better, it had a neat little joystick shifter mounted to the seat and could fold down.

I noticed all the new tractors I ahve looked at in Pos are sticks no autos ,I wonder if someone figured out what they really are If anyone wants to know the names I have for mine just let me know I will tell ya :joke:
 
I think road units are 800k saw a posting up about them "selling" our units to Watkins and I think thats what it said.
 
Why are all of our new city units just old road tractors? Seems like the boys on the top are skimming the profits, when they should be buying new trucks. PS we also got a couple of new forklifts with 15000 hours on the clock?????????????
 
My ccm told me that they are going to dedicate most new equipment, (tractors) to watkins to get the rebrand looking good, then start moving new stuff to Fedex later, also, they will move old road units into the city instead of buying city trucks. Instead of getting rid of the road units as they used to do after a certain point. In Houston I saw about 8 or 9 good looking old road tractors in a used truck lot, made me want to go get one, instead of turning them loose, we have a couple of 43 series Volvos here that are darn good trucks, CCM said he was supposed to get 2 more from New Orleans, but they are keeping them for now, because theyre business is coming back after the storm and they need them,......dang!

Are you out of end of the line term. or hub? From what I heard is that the hubs will get new equipment because they run the crap out it and when forklifts and road units get to a certain miles or hours they would be ahnded down to end of the line facilities. So say like in Toledo we are getting new forks and new trucks and so far I know that three kenworths have gone to Mi. with about 400,000 on them but I haven't kept up with forks
 
All centers are created equal, drivers,dock and office. We are all doing the same type of work, so we should all share the new equipment. Tell a guy unloading the inbound that the hub needs the new equipment more, just doesn't seem fair.
Why would rebranding national ltl have anything to do with freight purchasing new tractors? Are we actually just one company?
