I've seen that one at the water gap. My immediate reaction was;
WTF?

Back before JB sold the flatbed division they had, one of their drivers went under an overpass in Detroit with a load of pallets. After the traffic behind him got done, there were a few pieces that could be recognized as pallets, but most of it looked like someone scattered a "vast array of tooth-picks". Somehow, I really don't think they are ready to deliver any "impromptu convertibles".

You haul cars? How do you like it? Must be a fun job when the weather is good, but a bitch when the weather sucks eh?

Then you are in trouble J.B Hunt has been pulling cars namely conversion vans for Mark III conversions for about 10 years I think. They have a fleet of trailers that they use to pull them from the factory in FL to the large mixing yards all over the US.

I took his post to mean that he hauled cars and didn't want JB Hunt getting into that and providing more competition. My mistake.
