    How about just taking whatever truck you are given and keeping it so clean and waxed/polished that it stands out wherever you go? Maybe you could even polish your personal appearance/presentation up to match.

    Always thought reliable transport has some of the vest looking equipment on the road.

    No clue how they treat drivers etc...

    Just a pretty orange shiny truck....ooooooo....

    Actually that is my truck the person has not delivered it to me yet. LOL


    Just can't figure out why he would want to sell it since it is only a year old. Maybe it is where he spent $500,000 on it and now is broke. But at half the price who knows.

    Some of the people would have to have way more cleaning than the truck to look half way presentable. I am a little over weight but try to keep myself presentable. Some of the people getting out of these trucks do not care what they look like and I just can't see some of the companies hiring them. Maybe they haven't seen them out in public. Just my observation.

    Altom Transport tankers, Frock Bros reefers, TMC flat bedders. I used to work for Altom, trucks don't get much nicer then theirs .

    I always wondered about a Winn Dixie truck.
