    So i was driving I 69 in IN the other day, and noticed sigh on electronic billboard.
    It said "who really owns Carter Express"
    And then it changed to "is Carter Express good for Anderson"
    Whats that all about?

    Just looked them up. It could just be an innovative marketing campaign to lure drivers? The first hit on Google is a bio of the company. Well........it made me look!

    They used to be a small Family owned company. I knew quite a few Drivers, one of which, his wife worked in the Office. They had a good reputation with their Drivers. That’s been 20 yrs ago. Did a lot of GM freight. Inquiring minds need to know.

    I thought Hitachi from Japan owned them ?

    I know they're really big in the Auto industry . You'll see their trailers at all the plants and along the border transporting parts .

    Current Carter employee. They're not too bad. I've seen the billboard, not really sure who put it up there though. Definitely not Carter. I'm not really involved in their politics either so I'm not sure if there's anything going on behind the scenes

    Probably has something to do with taxes.

    Mike Pence gave Carter a crap ton of money when he was governor.
