Spotted on truckpaper. Interesting

Only a single axle. That's like having a horse with three legs.

Everything is relative to price. Not likely a stock build. Looks to be one built that someone changed their mind on. Probably when they seen the final sale price.

I like it except for the steel wheels. It looks like one of the 200 or so red trucks that one outfit has scattered everywhere.

Looks like a casualty from Expediter Services in MS
If not, it looks like one of their fleet trucks.

What do you mean casualty, are they still around or gone??

davekc · Apr 2, 2008

I think they are still around as they advertise here on EO. The truck looks to be a casualty of a deal that went south. Nothing to do with the company.

I am curious to know more about Expediter Services. Those red trucks with white boxes, leased to Panther, FedEx Custom Critical and TriState, and perhaps other carriers, are an increasingly frequent sight on the road.

In the last month, Diane and I have had lunch with two Expediter Services teams, one running with Panther and one with FedEx Custom Critical. Both of them expressed high satisfaction with Expediter Services. Both reported that Expediter Services has over 100 trucks on the road now and enthusiastic plans to at least double that number.

saw 3 teams in laredo a couple weeks back. owner pays for the team to polish and keep it brite. very positive folks.

We work for Expediter Services, and yes, they are very nice people. They take care of you really well. I believe they have 130 trucks. The majority with Panther, but some with FedEx, Tri-State, Express 1, a few with Nations Express...don't think I missed any there. I've heard of people saying they have problems with the 660's. I'm not too sure what kind of problems though.

Actually that expediter was made for Hissong Kenworth in Richfield, OH. They have several of those on the lot, some single axle, some with tag axles. Cost anywhere between $105k and $135K.

Do they have colors other than "pull me over" red?

As a matter of fact...

There's "kiss me arse" brown...
"You look lucky" green...
"Lot lizard" pink...
"You can't see me" camoflauge...
"Bag o' Skittles" or perhaps "I'm a card-carrying, San Francisco resident member of GLAAD" rainbow...
And last but not least...
wait for it...
White!

You forgot "Barney" purple.

I don't know - I think maybe Washington State Patrol is colour blind but sharp eyed. I got pulled Friday, rural area, straight road, not speeding but she spotted my "pull me over Ontario plates" as I passed and next thing I know I got lottery lights in the mirror. Turns out she was trolling for non permitted Canadian trucks but I was just light enough to not need one. Better luck next time - LOL
