    My buddy calls me up and he says "I saw two yellow Prostars and they are 400 series." Is it something special about these new yellow trucks, or is PAM just trying a new color scheme?

    I was told by a driver for PAM, that CT is taking over and also they bought out C1. This driver works for PAM for over 20yrs. Irving has about 100 of these basic ProStars.

    Big Bird bought PAM and they are now slowly converting all the trucks to yellow.

    Yeah I heard that CT bought a chunk of PAMela last yr ... So what's the consensus on this; good or bad?

    CT has always owned a chunk of PAM. Since before I started in 09. Why you think they are allowed to use CT yards? lol

    Yeah I was told that the owners of each company were brothers ... Though I always pondered on why it seemed that Central Transport was more successful, cause for one they have a whole bunch of beat up trucks but it seems like they have a yard in almost every big city...?!? And they're slowly taking over & buying PAMela... Maybe they just said "I'll do it this way and you do it that way" cause it seems like CT doesn't even do OTR?! IDK

    CT isnt OTR. they are LTL. That's why they have so many yards. Cross docks in major cities

    Ah, I wondered. I thought they rented space at the CT yard in El Paso for a drop yard/secure parking. Didn't realize it was home, lol.
