    Yeah, anytime, NOW, I ask for O/O’s to have a white truck, bonus points for black bumper.

    Currently we have 1 black and red and another old Schlumberger truck and since those 2 I want consistency.

    Nobody can mistake a Reed truck. Really appealing paint scheme.

    Not sure how to feel. My family was in trucking 10 yrs prior to me getting started and for 50 yrs ran a similar scheme. Trailers had the painted frame rails and all. I don’t do the painted rails but have the consistency logo and color wise.

    I don’t require owner ops to have a certain color tractor but are obviously pulling a branded trailer. As long as they wash bi weekly and keep their stuff up then I’m all good.

    I do admire your low turnover though @wichris Thats unheard of. I love seeing a 680 of my color going down the road and looking over and seeing it’s one of mine while out and about. Very easy to pick out.

    Taking my son to school and then home we almost always see one of our trucks up and down the road. Always a cool feeling but I guess maybe with a size of your operation it means less because you have so many.

    Estes has the red tire rims on all (or the vast majority) of their trucks. I always thought that was unique and made them stand out.

    Saw this at the dealer, today. Frame rails look to be extended well past normal, for some reason.
