    Start a thread in the International or the Heavy Duty Mechanics forums. You might get some answers there.

    Only stupid question is a question not asked. That said, I have no idea. It is a pretty blue color, I’ll give them that. For such an ugly company. Lol

    They've been running all color trucks for over a decade. When I was there five years ago the trucks with the big "S" on the side were company trucks and the ones without it were LP trucks. But there were exceptions even to that.

    Let's see, they used to be white. Until they park in the river you see. So they get the blues after such losses.

    And if they did not want the blues and wanted to remember what they once were, white was cheap. We have to make sure a Swift driver can spot his truck in the herd at the truckstop. No easier color than white.

    Also as a parting shot the Bosses in Swift crave that white. They need it to function after herding all of them drivers. //indirect PUN, part teasing.
