Dumbest question ever... Why does swift have some white and some blue trucks?

So you can see them better and avoid them.

 

Because sometimes they run out of white trucks.

 

It's the pigment in the paint that does that.

 

Just as trivial info...
The White Motor Company built all its trucks and painted them a gray primer.
Truck was shipped to the dealer and he painted it the color you ordered.
Now, you could take it in primer and he owed you a paint job.
I knew of companies that took then in gray primer, ran 2 or 3 years and came back for
the paint job.. Another coat of gray primer. True-That is one reason for so many gray
22 Whites back then.

 

Blue trucks tend to be the lease purchase scam trucks. White trucks tend to be the company driver trucks. The real answer ? Whatever they can get the best deals on.

 

The same reason most fleets no longer keep true to their company livery color scheme, resale value.

It is easier to sell different colored trucks instead of basic fleet white or say pumpkin orange. The fleets that stay true, or mostly true to their livery are the fleets that tend to keep equipment much longet that the typical mega fleet renewal cycle of 18-24 months.

 

No Question is stupid...But a lot of answers are ..

 

The blue trucks are white trucks that are just bruised from being beaten up in more accidents.

 

Its for resale value. Its easier to sell a blue or any different color truck, then it is to sell a generic white fleet truck.
