While taking a "hard earned" break at 671, I spotted a new logo Volvo twin screw tractor out on the drop line. No "Big R" on the wind fairing just Roadway. No orange bumper......just blue, almost looked blue grey. This will take a little time to get used to, but for now......."I don't like it"!! I'm like a few others on this board....someone actually gets paid to change things like this :ranting: I'm wondering if the guy that decided to put the small Roadway Express logo on the sides of the trailers back in the late 90's had anything to do with this?? That got changed back to the big ROADWAY soon after. DS.
 
Would certainly enjoy a photo of it, if you get the chance. And I feel the same as you about this new logo stuff.

Seems to me those pup trailers with the small Roadway Express on the side were the pups they were having refurbished to save money after we were spun off from Roadway Services.
Then when they started buying new pup trailers again they went back to the full size Roadway on the side of the trailer.
As far as I`m concerned it will always be the BIG R !!!!!!
 
logo and two more coo

i too like the old logo. but lets face it we are all getting older and can associate with the old logo.
these ipod equiped people of today don't even know what a turn signal is so it is more likeley that they don't know about our logo. so if they see the name roadway it might get processed in there somewhere.

if you listened to the web cast of the earnings report. how about change 2 scheduled this year and 3 next year?

Hey Roadie......I didn't catch the numbers when they were on the yard at 671. The photo on the front page of "Spotlight" started with 775. I think the twin screws have a number like that, right? I'll see what I can find out. DS.
 
Sorry guys, I saw another new twin screw come in tonight, but didn't have my camera on me......I'll try to do better. DS.
 
Hey 671 CB........where were you at today with your camera?? Another brand new twin screw came in. I did notice that the chain box is in the middle of the floor on these. DS.
 
I was burning up the roads
