My Start with the Big Orange

You mean Big White as Schneider in their infinite wisdom decided to throw away one of the most recognizable brands in trucking to help "resale value". Now I ask this, if you are a guy buying a used 800k plus truck, do you really care what color it is? I think it's a terrible decision. I always loved pulling into an OC on the weekend and seeing the orange sea, it was a neat sight. Now all the names are pointless, Big Orange, The Orange Army, The Pumpkins, none of them make any sense with white trucks. Plus from a safety aspect Orange is hard to miss, that's why caution signs, cones etc are the same color.

 

Money is king. That is the basis of every decision they do. Our safety guy was even admitting that the 60 mph is for costs first and safety second.

 

I will admit that if I were looking at two identical used trucks at 800k miles, paint faded and worn out, used and abused, I would gladly take a white or grey truck compared to the salmon/pink/orange that SNIs paint becomes after years of wear and tear and when the clearcoat fades off.

 

Call them and stay on their case to get results it's usually 72 hrs

 

Good luck.
Keep us posted on how it works out, good or bad!!
I will be looking forward to your updates.
