    And the thicker the dirt and road grime and bondo on a fleet's typical truck, the more you want to avoid them.

    As I typed I remember a lot of white volvo's with just the required dot stuff and no company name etc. I figured a lot of them were some type of O/O.

    Did you mean a WhiteGMC Volvo or a white in color Volvo? I know you mean a white in color Volvo. Several years ago, Volvo flooded the market with trucks. They were giving like a "Baker's Dozen" , buy 12, get the 13th free, and big companies bought a bunch of those "generic" trucks, so consequently, as they wore out, there became a glut of "White" in color Volvo's, and could be bought cheap. Just the thing for new fledgling companies to buy, without spending a lot to get started. I always stayed away from those companies, as they were the 1st ones to screw their drivers, it seemed. Companies that had Pete's or KW's, not so much.
