PTL is as good as any carrier out there,they have warts like all of them.as for 1 way freight,once you learn their lanes,you can stay loaded,even in a cargo van.
My 03 3/4 ton savanna had 3 transmissons in 500,00 miles it was the 4L60E which is also in the astros which I have also and it went out at 255,000 miles
