    Yes. Also Hayul Yes.

    Anyone with the bawls to climb into a heavy vehicle and be #####ed at all day and told to stop being lazy and get moving... are truckers.

    Eventually the lucky ones who survive the abuse long enough become dispatchers who get to kick lazy truckers and move them along.

    We aint lost a dispatcher yet. LOL.

    Why? What's the beef? #1 & #2 just competing? Or is someone a hack?

    @Longarm is a Sherwin driver, right?

    Sherwin Williams corporate headquarters is in Cleveland, Ohio right down town near the terminal tower. If you look on any Sherwin Willams truck they all say DEDICATED CONTRACT TRANSPORT or something like that US DOT XYZ123 CLEVELAND, OHIO. That shell company name on the side of the Sherwin Willams trucks is just the name of the transport wing of Sherwin Willams, but the reason for the Cleveland, Ohio part of it is because that's Sherwin Willams corporate headquarters. My mom's friend works down town for Sherwin Willams at there corporate head quarters.

    Towmotor was a big company back in the 1960's they invented the modern day lift truck or tow motor. They were bought by Cat in 1965. I guess there lift truck was the first and best of it's kind and in the 1930's factory workers started referring to the lift trucks as "tow motors" and that's where that saying came from. It's like how pop is refereed to as Coke in certain parts of the country.

    I have a company issued prison shank in case I run into a Benjamin Moore driver and we have to get down to brass tacks. The paint business is intense, man.

    It's more of a joke Sherwin Willams is from Cleveland and PPG is from Pittsburgh two rival cities is all and like Arm said the paint business is very competitive!
