Yes, they would probably not be in a Roadway or other common carrier paint scheme. More likely they would be painted for Budweiser or Miller. I'm not sure what other large brewers are still in business here in the States. Coors makes a point of being non-pasturized beer so their beer is shipped in refrigerated trailers only. I'm not sure if the smaller brewerys like Sam Adams use their own trucks or if they are distributed by large multi-brand distributors who might have their trucks painted for the name of the distributer or with Budweiser or Miller and just load the smaller brands and imported beers into the same truck.
