    Maybe so, but does that make them "deadly?"

    If the tires are bald with exposed wire on any combi nation vehicle or equipment then yes that makes it deadly!

    If there's parts waiting to fall off at highway speed, yes.

    If the ragged out looking trailer is in any way indicative of other issues such as wheel seals leaking that have gone unnoticed for who knows how long leading to dry wheel bearings waiting to disintegrate at speed so a set of duals can fly across the highway, then yes.

    One of the worst companies I've seen for driving habits too. Almost got ran off the road by a contractor pulling one of their junk trailers, and their day cab idiots are just as bad.

    FYI, they arent yellow, they are 'swamp holly orange'

    Depends where you go as far as quality goes...West has new equipment and it gets older the further east you got...If you got far enough east you'll see central running 1972 diamond reo's (lol)

    Bottom feeding pays...when someone does a search on cheapest way to ship something, central comes up...so theres plenty of work

    Just make sure if you have hazmat on your BOL, make sure your trailers roof is solid!! LOL...
    If you recieve a hazmat trailer, step 1 is pop the seal to make sure all the stuff stacked on the 'do not stack' containers are still there not leaking holding integrity...

    I could go on an on....just lost and wandering LOL!!!

    Swamp holly Orange is yellow freights color. It's the color of cheese whiz. Central is the bright yellow trucks. Both have junk fleets, but are slowly upgrading....

    It a common color on many trucks and trains...Its a mix of 3pts Floquil Reefer Orange & 4pts reefer yellow.

    I didnt believe your post, as a x driver for both companies I swore it was central who had swamp holly orange...Now I know estes, yrc, and the train folk fancy this color as well as the others mentioned..

    And another hour wasted here when i should be outside doing chores!! LOL

    I delivered fuel to their Terminal in St. Louis, soon as I stepped out of the truck one of the drivers was like "this is the ####tiest terminal you've ever seen, huh?"... It seriously was, but I felt bad saying that.

    Central Transport & PAM are married together ... 2 bottom feeder companies that use drivers like sweat shop donkeys.
