Murphy Rigging and Freightmasters are companys from Minneapolis, MN.
Murphy`s owner was the brother to Murphy motor freight. There is also a Murphy Warehousing from the same family, which is also, still in business.
Freightmasters hauls LTL, dedicated, air freight, and forwarding. I drove part time for them. When I first saw them they had used Red Owl L-9000, Then cabover Freightliners, Ford Aeromax`s, Sterlings, and at present Freightliner CL`s.

The Murphy Magic flap was on the L-9000. I believe that was owner operator div. of Murphy, possibly heavy/specialty hauling.

Ringsby had a Terminal about 2 blocks from C-F, in SE Minneapolis. Real close to 35w, and real close to where the bridge collapsed.
This is what I thought Ringsby might look like if they were in business today. The decals are from Diecast and Decals in Ohio.

Saunders truck rental was purchased by Ryder, somewhere around 1990. My Dad worked for Hodgeman`s in the 50`s and 60`s, and drove a truck hauling road construction equipment, similar to this one. He hauled all over Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois to pick up equipment at the International Harvester factory. I was a back up driver at one time, and I took this hydro - runner (turbine) to our Mesabi shop in northern Minnesota. We had it in for balance. I was fortunate to be able to bring my trail bike along for some fun.

The cement mixer belongs to Cemstone. He is inside our shop. They also have U of M Gopher truck. This trailer is used for storage. Wayne Transports has a lot of Trucks, mostly tankers, a flatbed is unusual.

My grandpa used to peddle ice in St. Paul, MN. Before refrigeration became real popular.

These pictures show what his truck would maybe look like today

This White cab-over was from Dallas The General was from Pittsburgh

I like going to threshing shows in the fall and that`s where these came from, in Nowthen, MN.

I was working in Spain this spring/summer at a power plant and I always thought they had smaller trucks there. As you can see their`s are not all that small. And some are even works of art.

I drove a little while for T&T. They left Stone, now it`s Triangle Warehousing, which is one of the Wintzs`. More Murphy trucks
