    Oh God...if that's true then where did my teammate run off too?!

    Colors don't mean anything anymore, the numbers do (kinda) but that has more to do with when they were purchased and the equipment on the truck I think.

    I had a 36xxx, even the osr that did my recert recently loved those because they'd pull #### near anything and you'd never know anything was behind you unless you were super heavy.

    I have a 73xxx now....... It doesn't even like pulling itself.

    I know! I saw a blue kw yanking a swift container.... Between the broken bumper, busted up mirrors on the passenger side and a couple other things, I couldn't help but think that I could've given that truck a better home...

    ...swift is supposed to be driving white volvos!

    Is there a certain account that gets the company t680s? Or is getting one of those just being in the right place at the right time

    I always see the grey 680's with 2 people in them. Maybe they use them for training.

    The T680's were mainly for teams. They have the DT12 AMT (auto man trans). Indy had a lot of them sitting there because no one wanted the AMT.

    If it was a blue Swift, he's a Flease driver

    Except that still defies logic. All Swift drivers are supposed to be driving a white Volvo's. Not nice blue Kenworth's.

    I was speaking of the ones in INDY. I asked why there were so many of them sitting there. was told by the shop that no one wanted them because of the AMT. Don't know why, they looked really nice. Saw a team moving into one. They told me the same thing but they wanted it.
