When a TM from CT's mouth is moving he's lying...........When they pull up on the yard and your assigned one consider it a done deal....Until then don't get your hopes up.

I remember our TM told us we were getting 10 new lift gate trailers but all we got were new two wheelers to be able to carry the boxes in after we broke the skids down.

I'm afraid to ask what they're putting in the glider kits. Glider kits used to be used when you wrecked a new truck and had a good drive train to put to use.

The usual use is to rebuild the engine, tranny and axles and put them in the glider. Then you have a brand new truck that doesn't have all the emissions garbage that a regular new one has.
Of course, knowing CT they probably just take the million mile drivetrain out of a rusted out old Sterling and throw them in.

Nope, reman everything. Detroit 60's with Meritor trans.
I would have preferred the Eaton , but it works.
They drive like brand new trucks. The whole process was done at Freightliner. CT shops only did stickers and paperwork.
The disc brakes are a bit odd, but you get used to them fast.

New Cheap truck ....................
Somebody said Freightliner was building these at the Freightliner plant, unless Matty is paying xtra $$$$ I don't see this happening.
A new Glider consists of a new frame, a new complete cab and new hood. Now you can add a EPA Detroit diesel and a rebuilt transmission with new or rebuilf rear ends.
A glider is probably the cheapest way to get a new fairly dependable new truck alternative.

There are over 400 new units coming plus 100 remade units. Remade units are brand new but with a rebuilt rear end. Yes new motor and new tranny
All units use DEF and it helps on the regen problems.
I've seen many of them. You can think negative like Train does and bash another companies forum or know the truth
California, Florida, GA, SC, AL are getting the first phase which should be completed by August 1st.
