Yeah white is tough to see on a rainy,snowy or foggy day. But the rental/lease companies who set the insurance standards say white is the most safe color. After 40 years in the cab I have to say that is "BS". White is just their cheap alternative. Here some pics of my old companies "safe color combo". http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...riotsmilie.gif

"It's fire brewed". Yeah, safety is BS on white trucks a. It's all about cheapest to buy and resale. Just peel off the fleet graphics and put yours on. I get the economics of trailers, but you buy a truck to make money out of till the wheels fall off, not for the next guy, and all those miles on a recognized trucks accounts for beans the counters never get to count called exposure. Makes you wonder why the old trucks got bold stripes, chevrons, diamonds, etc. painted on their front bumpers. I thought it was for safety, but they should have painted them solid white for that, right? Makes you wonder why the new fire & rescue and police vehicles are getting bold chevron stripes across the back.

That's a sexy front bumper on that thing.
Yeah, Digging & Rigging spends the money. He puts that paint on everything, even the pickups and man lifts. It must be nice to be able to spend what you want on equipment pieces like they were toys knowing it will all come back. You can tell he started out operating. He loves the machinery. The stuff he has is insane. It baffles me |

This is one bare-bones truck. Sheet metal fenders. No rear fenders or mud flaps. And the roof guage metal must be pretty thin. Just look at the size of that extended flap on the bed. But. It is a looker...

We could do a thread just for dump trucks. Looks like that second one is a model. That first one was built by Cat in '67

At least we have a few good size contractors around here that see the value in a righteous fleet paint scheme. I showed Digging & Rigging some, here is CJ Miller a roads and site development contractor. He paints most of his equipment red w/white top as well. And he uses good paint, Imron or whatever is closest these days

I've known of Darts. I don't think I've known of them both together, or if that was all of them. They mostly did oversize trucks.
