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.

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

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?

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