Our route from Northern Kentucky going south on I-75 on 4/21 at 9am to Knoxville we saw a few FedEx CC, Panther, Load-1 and All State Express TT's. No vans. A few ST's but didn't note the signs.

Rolling North tonight we saw Landstar, TSE, Bolt, Panther, FedEx CC straight trucks and several marked and unmarked Sprinters/CV's. Seemed much more activity Thursday night.

I just spent 10 weeks on a dedicated run at an undisclosed location and only saw one FedEx in all that time. I did however enjoy a very quiet CB radio.

Seeing expediter vans and Sprinters is not hard.
Finding any with lettering on them....

On a load I did last week for one of the major carriers, they wanted to confirm that my vehicle was free of lettering. That's the first time I've ever been asked that question. How's that for a sign of the times?!

I wish I didn't have to have any lettering on my vehicle! Would make it a lot nicer IMO.

That could be the carrier doesn't a competing carrier's lettering delivering their freight. If the customer expects, say, a Panther truck, and an XPO truck shows up, that could be bad. But if one with no lettering shows up, not a big deal.

I believe I might have one of those now, when I called the receiver to see if I might unload Sunday night one of the options on the phone was press 9 for the onsite Bolt Rep! But I'm picking up at one of our Longtime Customers??
