I don't think that's been decided yet.
I'm planning on a Yellow Freight K100 in the near future (not near enough for this build). Let me know if you have any luck matching the Swamp Holly Orange that Yellow uses for their trucks.

I was thinking Krylon Pumpkin Orange... but thinking now that that's a bit too dark... better suited for an Allied van lines truck... Another option is a Leased fleet to Mason Dixon Truck lines....

As soon as we figure out the rules, we'll let you know. Right now we're sort of "brain storming" ideas, although I admit the Fleet Build seems to be the general consensus right now.

i wouldnt do a fleet build or set any certin colors.it might be hard for some to get the decals for a fleet (like not enough cash flow).i would do an every day work horse.somethin you would pass goin down the highway.if you wanted to do a fleet truck,that would be included.
P.S. im guilty of not finishin my CBPS.my gmc pull truck n my ford are about 90% done.

Hey... Here's an idea.... as an attachment to an idea really.... OK.... TSF (Truck Stop Forum) Trucking Inc ... Now Hiring Drivers.... Owner / Operators , Teams ... Equipment Lease program available ...Alrightee... Let's see... You've just bought a basic no frills truck... Not exactly what you might want ... but it's a start... Now you need a carrier to haul for.... TSF Inc .... OR... You just hired on with TSF Inc... Now what division do you want? Dedicated? Long Haul ? Refrigirated? Flatbed? West Coast? East Coast? Ya'll See where I'm headin? One Community projects .. lots of options... TSF (TruckStop Forum) Inc. Drive our truck make more money... Drive your truck... Make your own (truck) schedule... Have one of decal guys make up some decals ... TSF... slap em on a White "fleet" truck... or your no frills O/O truck or maybe a Ryder Rental type rig... THEN pick a division.... I'll sit back down and hush now before ya'll hurt me

Lots of ideas are coming from one idea here guys. With the option of being an O/O, fleet operator or whatever, you can build anything from a fleet type rig to a full blow personalized O/O truck. From short haul straights to double sleepered trucks, the limits are really only your own imagination. Thoughts? As for not putting an end date on the builds, that tends to clutter up the forums if we have a bunch of different builds going on at once. I try to have a certain section for each build so everyone can keep track of what's what. If we have a bunch of different builds going on it tends to get a bit congested.

im not sayin have 2 or 3 goin on at once.what i ment by not puttin a end date was not starting another cbp for 6 months. like start this one in janruary and run until june.then start the next one in july until december and so on.that way it wouldnt get clutterd and new members could join in on the old ones as well.the way the cbp forum is set up,you could add the next one under the astro cbp.keep all the build pictures in the in progress section and leave the finished ones for the main section.just a thought.after i finish my doubbles,i plan on gettin the other 2 cbp finished.
