    I was wondering what company's trucks look the nicest. I have seen a couple of TMC's trucks and they look really nice. Didn't know what everyone's thoughts were.

    Decker with the red and gold trucks look good. I don't care for black in the summer.

    Dang...those are pretty nice looking rigs. I am looking for a comapany to drive for and that is one thing high on my list...how nice the trucks are. Right now TMC is probly on top....so far. I also have Mavrick, Roehl, Crete, and Mansur on my list.

    Please don't let a company's truck entice you to work for them. CFI's bright red trucks just get my attention.

    That is not all that I am looking at. CFI just came to my school and did there presintain and they bombed bad. Even my instructers said they were not impressed. It didn't seem like they pay well eather.

    That's how my wife picks her favorite football team...the one with the nicest looking uniforms.

    For me..I could care what they look like...just as long as they are well maintained that will work for me.

    What I am looking for is what company has my interest at heart...which one is going to help me put the most $$$ in my bank account.

    Don't get me wrong...that is not my top priority. First probly is pay, with home time a close second. My wife is expecting out first child in late January so she wants me home most weekends. Don't care about benifits because she has a state job and that is about as good as you are gonna get. Then third is probly the trucks. That is why i am thinking eather TMC or Mavrick. Good pay...home ALMOST every weekend...(TMC is 46 out of 52 i think, and Mavrick is a 99.8% home on weekends in my area) and then third...top of the line equipment.

    Most money I ever made per hour average was driveing a cabover with
    no AC and no power steering. This was in 2005. People used to
    walk up to me while fueling and ask what year truck it was cause it
    looked like it came out of a museum. I think you need to find a
    happy medium, decent truck, decent pay, good company to work for and
    good Terminal manager or dispacher. Balance is the key.

    TMC's don't hold a candle to Western Distributing (Denver,CO) all, light-blue large cars with shiny reefers. A+R, out of Joliet has good looking equipment too.
    But TruckVet said it best, balance is the key.
