    No, we have been send 2-5 trucks to Southern GA/FL over the last year. We have a contractor that lives in Micco. He runs a gray 386.

    I prefer the colors that appear on the color wheel. The only problem with that is you start repeating colors pretty quickly.

    There is a picture of JP hanging off the mirror on the drivers side when he was probably 6 or 7. It is a great picture even considering the color of the truck. If I get really ambitious, I might scan it and post.

    Kind of neat how your trucks are different colors.

    Whats the reason for that? Just to keep it interesting?

    Did the pink one have a name like some of your other trucks? Ms. Piggy maybe?

    It's been that way as long as I can remember, so I can't comment on the original reason. I wouldn't change it. I think it makes the driver feel like the truck is his own instead of one of 50 look alikes. I would prefer our customers remember us for our drivers not our trucks anyway. Although, I am pretty sure they notice that we run nice equipment even if they are different colors. My dad always insisted on a big clear logo that could be read from as far away as possible. I guess its a good thing our last name only has 4 letters.

    We have a couple guys like that by us also. One of the newer guys pointed me out in the yard one day and told our DM that "That guy there doesnt like me". Why you ask? One windy day at headquarters there were three of us struggling to tarp a oversize load and that lazy MF'er sat on the steps of his trainers truck and ate his lunch watching us. Never said "Need any help" or anything............that garbage doesnt fly with me.
