    Tigator. I think they were out of Port Allen with a cool logo that was half tiger and half alligator. Mostly orange Petes, but now that you mention it, I do seem to recall a few yellow ones.

    I don't miss a particular company. But what I do miss is the day when more companies were run by people that gave a dang about their drivers. I also miss the times when the feds were not the jackbooted thugs they are today.
