    I didn't think that Estes had any ties with them.
    Sounded bogus.

    I might be wrong but I thought the only carriers that Estes was associated with as partner carriers was G.I. Trucking and I believe what was called either Lakeview or Lakeville Motor Express? Estes eventually bought out G.I. Trucking.

    Dont blame Covenant for that , SRT was a beginner company with an iffy reputation well before "CTG" came about

    Yeah I dont think Covenant and estes have any ties other then pulling their doubles(no more) .

    Every company i ever noticed that puts patriotic graphics on their trucks or bible verses on their trailers is invariably a low-pay bottom feeder.

    I've noticed the same. Even CR England has some drivers that are very professional and have worked there for years and some 15 or 20 years.
    Some drivers complain about not being able to idle the truck, yet there's a hundred companies they can work for that have APU. Some drivers would be miserable and unhappy if they had nothing to complain about.

    You ain't lying . Most of those trucks have the wheels polished up too . When I worked for Covenant those SRT trucks were always clean in comparison (which could be a bad sign in a way)
