I got new Freightliner Columbia, is that a problem?
I didn't get very far with the phone call she asked me what my wheelbase was,I told her she said they couldn't hire me.

In regards to Dana, do you guys have any Columbias running for you?


My buddy runs a Classic condo, only 1 or 2 places he has to back under the rack, because of the height.

There is a wide assortment of trucks leased on, there really are NO truck requirements, besides being roadworthy enough to pass a DOT inspection.

At Suttles we have lots of Columbia's as company trucks,they are slowly getting phased out in favor of real trucks 8)

Our dispatch would like us to stay out 7-10 days,but that hasn't happened much to me,unless I wanted it to.

I-70 is a very good lane to run,I would think that you would not have a problem running through there alot.

The 3 companies I suggest you check out are Dana/Suttles/LiquidTransport,Superior Carriers,and Henniff
Thanks Mike!

Here is a dumb question. If your load takes you further than you can drive in one day...what do you do with your truck to help prevent somebody from messing with it (while your asleep) and potentially causing a haz spill?

They would have to be pretty knowlegeble about how the tank operates,but it would not be hard to dump the entire contents on the ground without me knowing about it.

We are trained to inspect our tanks after stopping to look for any suspicious activity.
