cappy Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 hi, i am new to this forum and been checking it out. I LOVE IT. A LOT OF VERY GOOD MODEL BUILDERS. iam hoping some one here can help me.i just got my hands on a coe freigtliner kit and i want to build it as a GREATCOSTAL fleet truck. these trucks were manly seen on the eastcost. and had a unique red,white,blue paint job. i was wondering if any one out there has pictures of these trucks that i could see? i think the company is long since been out of business. thankyou verymuch for any help.

SpreadAxle Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 This will be a cool project. I didn't realize Great Coastal went under, though.

I didn't realize Great Coastal went under, though. from what i heard they did but not sure. i remember i could not go 5miles up the pike with out seeing one of their trucks.now i dont see any. now i just heard that swift is going out.
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 from what i heard they did but not sure. i remember i could not go 5miles up the pike with out seeing one of their trucks.now i dont see any. now i just heard that swift is going out. What's goin' on... When it comes to SWIFT anything goes! I worked for SWIFT for four years only to be layed off a couple years ago. They downsized the company to reduce the driver to non driver ratio 5:1. For every 5 driving positions they wanted 1 non driving position. That was back then. Less than a year ago they started offering the trailer mechanics (at least those in the Columbus,Ohio terminal) their jobs back. I would have to take a pay cut to go back. I'm partialy tempted to call my old foremen in the trailer shop to find out what's going on just out of stupid curiosity!!!
