The IH Fleetstar with the "covered wagon" belonged to Eastern Freightways from Carlstadt, NJ and the black R Mack was owned by dairy products hauler Carlton G. Whitaker from Deposit, NY. This was shot at a truckstop along I-90 right on the NY/MA line during the summer of 1974. I can't remember which state it was actually in though. Here is a "snazzy" Brockway leased on with Krajack Tank Lines from Roselle Park, NJ who had stopped on MA Route 147 in W. Springfield in 1974. Distributors Service whose headquarters was in Chicago used these big nicely lettered reefer trailers hooked behind O/O tractors to move their freight. This Transtar was at the Pioneer Valley Refrigerated Warehouse in Springfield's North end back in 1974.

Unidentified W Ford in downtown Springfield, MA in 1974 An Agway Farmers Co-op L Ford from Geneva, NY laided over at the Westfield, MA Hojo's in 1974. Bendix Trucking Services Division from Indiana W model Ford across from Mass Pike exit 3 entrance during summer 1974.

Nu-Car Carriers from Byrn Mawr, PA waiting to turn into the Mass Pike Exit 3 entrance ramp from N. bound U.S. 202 in early 1973. Chevy Titan leased to Best Refrigerated Express, Inc. out of Omaha, NE at Hampden Beef Co. in downtown Springfield, MA summer 1974.

This blue and white Pete had both Orlando, FL and Philadelphia, PA on the cab door. This was Summer 1974 vintage at the Springfield, MA farmer's market. It was rather rare to see a day cab Pete's hauling produce at the Springfield farmers market back in 1974. I can't read the lettering on the door so no information is available to share. Here is another Best Refrigerated Express from Omaha, NE unloading at Hampden Beef Co. in downtown Springfield, MA during summer 1974.

Weaver Country Style Chicken from New Holland, PA was waiting his turn to unload at the former and now torn down A & P refrigerated & frozen warehouse located along I-91 on the North end of Springfield, MA during the summer months of 1974. The KW & IH COE's were delivering to the old A & P warehouse in Springfield's N. end in 1974. The IH belonged to Barry T. Fox out of Easton, MD and the KW was unidentified. This Taylor's _______ ______ from ______, Michigan was shot at the Eastbound Mass Pike service plaza near Ludlow, MA in summer 1974. (Can anyone give us more information on this trucking company?)

An unidentified Pete COE at the Springfield farmers market, summer 1974. I came across this GMC Astro straight job stopped at the Westfield A & W Root Beer stand in 1974. This then brand new White Road Boss was westbound on the Mass Pike in 1974 as he passed by my "secret" bicycle hideout spot near Exit 3.

This Quebec based KW was off loading at O'Connor Lumber in early 1974. Joe Moody's KW COE was waiting his turn to be loaded with citrus at a Vero Beach, FL packing shed back in April 1974. I was having a hard time getting my aim perfected when I first got my first Kodak little 110 pocket camera back in early 1973. I found this Builder's Transport KW while my parent's and I were stopped for lunch at a Hojo's in Summerton, SC on our way to FL in Feb. 1973.

Eagle Transport from Birmingham, AL had a bunch of O/O's leased on who were delivering sections to metal power poles for a new high voltage line they were building near Westfield back in 1974. Both of these IH Transtar's were stopped across from the Exit 3 ramp to the Mass Pike during summer of 1974 after offloading and heading back down South. Spector Freight System from Chicago use to pull these turnpike double units from Exit 6 (Chicopee, MA) of the Mass Pike out to the NY/PA state line at Ripley, NY. I came across this one in early 1974 at their Chicopee terminal which was only a 1/2 mile or so from the Mass Turnpike.

Some furniture hauling or moving fleet with the initials of FFT had this sharp GMC Astro with a drom box was at Terminal Stations in mid 1977 Pacific Molasses Co. from their Portland, OR plant at Terminal Stations during 1977 Two O/O's leased on with Ringle Express from Fowler, IN at Terminal Stations in mid 1977

This almost new Ford W 9000 was leased to Allied agent Berger out of Minneapolis, MN and was layed over at a Fairfield, CA motel in 1978.

Here's two sharp COE's leased on with United Van Lines agent Crown Moving & Storage that was taken in April 1978 at Terminal Stations.

A logging fleet called Jet, Inc. from somewhere up around Ukiah in N.W. California ran a fleet of nicely painted black & white rigs. This was shot in April 1978 at a coffee shop along CA Route 37 near Vallejo, CA. The owner of this GMC General was leased to J. H. Rose Truck Line from Houston, TX and the good looking Pete COE in the next spot I can't quite make out the lettering on the cab door. It looks like it might say Thoroughbread Trucking. But, this scene was sometime in 1978 at Terminal Stations.

Another ag hauler with the initials SRS on the cab stopped at the Muffin Treat along I-80 near Fairfield, CA during the fall harvest of 1977. Baldwin was primarily a container hauler out of one of the East Bay cities S. of Oakland, CA. This White Freightliner was parked at the Muffin Treat in fall of 1977. That's my 72 Chevy pickup in the background that I ran for 19 years till it rusted out from living near the Atlantic Ocean in Florida.

A Berger Allied & an unidentified pipe hauler Eastbound on I-80 passing the Muffin Treat parking lot near Fairfield, CA in Nov. 1977. West Coast Truck Lines from Eugene, OR Mack at Terminal Stations in Feb. 1977.

Springfield, MA in 1974. I always liked the big M they had painted on their radiator shutters.

An O/O leased to Riss International out of Kansas City was delivering a load of beef to Hampden Beef Co. in downtown Springfield, MA in 1974. This O/O from West Springfield, MA had his White 4000 leased on with steel hauler Youngstown Cartage from Youngstown, OH when I shot it during summer 1974 where he kept it along Union St. in W. Springfield. This is a Flexi-Van Truck Rental unit leased to a private fleet called ESM from W. Haven, CT shot in 1973 in front of a Texaco on U.S. 202 by Exit 3 of the Mass Pike in Westfield, MA.

Here's two O/O's, the Pete leased to flatbed hauler F-B Truck Line from Salt Lake City, UT and the IH 4200 leased to reefer hauler Exley Express from near Seattle, WA parked at Terminal Stations in April 1976. KimKris, Inc. from W. Sacramento, CA just had this sharp White Freightliner washed when I came along for this photo at a small truck stop right off of Business I-80 back in Feb. 1976.

Back in the "good ole days" of March1976 when Montgomery Ward was still in business and still ran a private fleet when this Mack stopped at Terminal Stations and posed just right for me to get this photo. These three units were shot while parked in April 1976 at an empty lot where trucks would gather for the weekend in Vacaville, CA. Here's a Commercial Carriers, Inc.
