Grizz said:You guys recieved any new 53's lately? I'd like to know if NP has gone to the plain-jane look. GRIZZ
CFer said:Grizz, New Penn uses nothing bigger than 45s.
they have no 53's that i'm aware of. the only 53's i've ever pulled were trailers from outside companies..Jolobo said:New Penn has a few 53'ers in their fleet. Their "No Zone" trailer is 53'. Some of their other 53'ers are ex-Munson units. We had one of these in our shop a few years ago for some repairs.

CFer said:jolobo, I meant to say they used nothing but 45s in their P+D operation. There are a few 53s around for volume pickups and linehaul moves.
P.S. Welcome to the boards
Jolobo said:Thankx for the welcome CFer! As for using nothing but 45;s for the P&D work, did you mean nothing LONGER than 45'? Camp Hill has at least ONE 28' with a lift gate for pedal work.
CFer said:Sorry jolobo, that is what I meant. The majority of P+D work is done with 45s but there are also straight jobs and other misc trailes around
allnightrain44 said:most of our trailers are 45 ft and 96" wide, but back in 99 or 2000. when the economy was kicking ***, here in #03 we aquired at least 5 -53' fters with swinging doors mostley for our NORM THOMPSON \account in west virgina. we took everything to them from the notheast. and when they were busy we ended up dropping them there, but if there was room ,we got other stops on them and made del's with the swinging dr deal. they were old sheinder trailers back than. unless it has changed recently, everything going to burlington out of 03 is on a 53' footer.actually haven't seen many arnolds around like i used to. i was told glenn moore is giveing better deal and also better and more effcent pick-up and del. than arnold could do.althought they still do some of our south freight line-haul.
