Shippers Imperial from San Jose, CA was a merging of two fleets (Shippers_______ and Imperial ______ both from somewhere in California).

This was shot in 1974 at the Lewis Beef Co. dist. warehouse in Springfield, MA. I believe they sold to Sanborn's Motor Express out of Portland, ME sometime during the mid 70's. Tobin Packing Co. makers of Tobin's First Prize Cold Cuts from Albany, NY operated this neat fleet of S. axle sleeper equipped Macks always pulling these S. axle short & low refrigerated trailers, most likely to get in and out of all the tight spots on their routes they served. I found this one stopped across the street from the old A & P Stores refrigerated warehouse in the N. end of Springfield, MA in 1974.
