Default Re: Opinions on a truck
The major carriers all sell out their trucks when they're almost out of warranty. That's where my carrier steps in. We run former major fleet trucks. We have trucks in our fleet from USXpress, Western Express, Knight, Averitt, etc.

ahh, mostly RED trucks eh??...ya'll ever buy old SuperService Inc. Trucks?...lol
thats who i mostly ran for...in some ways i kinda miss it

Hmm - let's see what we have:

Red Volvo 770s (only 3 of them) (USXpress)
Red Volvo 670s (Averitt)
White Volvo 670s (Mainly Western Express)
Red Columbias (USXpress)
White Columbias (which they just bought and are selling before they even put a driver in them) (A local carrier that went out of business)
Blue Columbias (Can't remember for the life of me)

They look cool, but I think the whole front end is made of plastic. I saw a crate come through work with a hood, grill and fenders and it was all flimsy plastic.

i'm rather surprized...the least they could've done was make it out of fiberglass like most hoods....i mean a good new hood cost about $9-11k
i guess theyre just trying to go for cost effficient.
