[@nickslifestyle]

I’m coming over there July 22 are there still any manuals .

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

@@nickslifestyle When I was there last week they had one and it was an older truck. Their fleet is mostly automatic now.

[@chrischillin6085]

If you have 16 years local experience. What would one have to do to start the lease purchase

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

@@chrischillin6085Boyd doesn’t let you come right in and do lease purchase anymore. Now you have to be a company driver for 4-8 weeks before you can transfer over.

[@penarri]

are all the trucks mid roofs? or do they offer stand up

[@Againsttheworldlogistics]

@@penarri They are all Mid-Roof, but they are roomy as hell. I’m 6’1 and can stand up with plenty of room.
