    The trucking company which can maintain them and keep them running. The nicest trucks on the face of the earth can go to #### if they're not maintained. Which company has the best maintenance program would be the more pertinent question.

    Most trucks are nice if the engine starts every morning and the A/C is cold. It's not what company has the nicest trucks that's important, it's what company respects you as a living, breathing Human being that counts.

    A long shiny truck is no use to me when the company I work for shuts it off so I can't run the A/C in hot weather.

    It's hard to drive with sweat in your eyes, the tears and the stinging are a real distraction.

    I'll pick a dented rustbucket over a new truck if the company will let me decide when to idle it.

    TMC probably has the nicest looking trucks. If you're a Clemson fan you'd probably say Schneider has the nicest looking trucks. But I'm not so I won't.

    I don't care what it looks like, as long it is safe to operate. has a cold AC, and here in about 2 months a heater that works. In this last heat wave we just had here in Chicago, I seen plenty of guys with good looking trucks and the windows open heat index was over 100 degrees, they ain't that much of a man that they choose to have them windows open. as far as I go my crappy looking 05 freightshaker was looking real good those days.
