Red Horse Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 They purchased quite a few between roughly '06-'09 but I believe most of the straight trucks were Freightliner M2's. The Ford cabs were too small and it took a few years to find an air seat that one could actually air up without being too close to the ceiling. There may have been other issues but the decision to stop buying them was heavily influenced by the drivers. This year we had at least 50 new M2's pass through my terminal to be prepped by our shop before being distributed to other terminals.I can believe the space issue-then again, its a Super Duty Cab. Is an F-250/350 uncomfortable? I don't think so. Then again, maybe P & D drivers don't ride around with their asses on the floor like a lot of idiots you see today just barely peering over the wheel of their "large cars"! In any case, Ford is supposed to be moving medium s back to this country (Avon Lake Ohio plant)from the Navistar JV in Mexico and the truck will be all new-we shall see.

Red Horse Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Bob- quite a few F750 boxes running around here for freightYeah Matt-but not like the old days when Louisvilles, C-models and even F-750's/800's ruled the P & D business. i wonder if Roadway has finally retired the last of their C-models?
