    I noticed at least 4 CRST trucks going through New Mexico today with a red cab instead of the usual gold.

    Are those...L/P? Dedicated? something else?
    All 4 were pulling dry van trailers.

    SOME of the lease-purchase trucks are red. Their numbers typically begin with a letter (typically, "M"). A lot of the LP trucks are gold, as well, and many even bear the standard company regalia. If it looks like a company truck, but it's pulling a flatbed, it's also a LP truck.

    It was west of Abq when I saw them. I believe I saw 3 going down the road running together, then a little while later a fourth one. (he must be governed slower)

    They bought a bunch of old Crete, Schaffer, and Transport America trucks and put those in the LP fleet not only on the Malone side, but also the Van side.

    well my son drove one of those red trucks during his training phase for a full month..
    it was an O/O truck but most of the red ones do the newbie training before they turn them loose with a co-driver...
    at least that is what his trainer told him..
