    FedEx Freight, but they also use trailers as long as 53’ and you’d still be required to be able to pull those as well as have a doubles endorsement.

    All the LTL’s have shorter liftgate trailers, as well as Sysco for starters.

    Because I'm in the process of getting a job and when i get my cdl, I'd like to do ltl or home deliveries and I've been around tractor trailers long enough to know a 53' or 2 dual 28's is an issue to pull in and out of a residential area so either a 26ft or a city tractor pulling a 28ft trailer would make the job alot more easier...
