    TMC has some white T800s they got when they bought out another company. Are those the ones you been seeing?

    I saw one in Macon, GA, took a double take at the name and got the driver on the radio and asked him about it. Nice looking truck, small sleeper though. Looked like the 48" flat top if I remember right. Might have been even smaller.

    I saw 2 on I-30 running together. One was a early 90's black 379 EXHD that was by no means clean or in good shape.. and the other was a old gold colored W9 that was even rougher. Both had the TMC logo on the door and spanish across the back. Unless there is a TMC down in Mexico I figure they were O/O

    Those are the ones that run hard they don't care how the truck looks if it's running and making money your good. Lemme guess did you see one with a cowboy hat?

    I didn't see in the cab. Just the trucks. The whole not fresh out of the wash TMC thing threw me for a loop. I figure their contract would have something in the fine print about daily truck washes and mirror polishing.

    Weird huh and we mexicans love to keep our truck's clean. I gotta say sometimes our plain white truck looks alot better than some of the black and chrome rigs.

    No stereotype i didn't mean it like that it's real uncommon for some to not wash the truck.
