    Default Car hauler goes back to VAN.

    I have a truck that I would like to lease on to a company that mainly runs from TN to the NE. I like to run this area being I am a New yorker. I'm looking @ colonial frieght, national carriers, Ozark, JNJ Express, Smith transport. I choose these companies becuase I see them alot in the NE area. Anybody have any other suggestions?
    Information on those companies would be a plus.. Thanks in advance and keep the left door shut.

    Truck is a 2001 Centruy class in very good shape. New virgin rubbers , 13 speed tranny with a sexy red cummins.

    There is nothing sexy about a freightshaker with a cummins.

    Website I am making for drivers: http://www.4thedriver.com

    As I sit looking all around,
    Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
    The answers are there,
    But I do not know where.
    Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
    Are all I have so it seems.
    The future I do not know,
    So all I can do is take it slow.
    But I do know it will work out,
    So I wait and watch without a doubt    .

    Ronjon, if ur talking about me. I was working there but frieght is so slow, the money is not the same. it not fun running over OTR in a daycab and then sitting in a hotel room for days only to find a lil 300mi run and then back to the hotel. I was running out of the spring hill and when the plant shut down that was my sign to hit the road.
    Good Job though, I left on good terms so when the industry picks back up I may jump back in head first. Untill then I have plans to run this truck, thats been sitting in my yard for a few.

    How about you what are you up to these days.
