Minute Maid has an orange/grapefruit juice plant near Ft Pierce. I caught one of their White Road Bosses coming off the Ft Piece exit of Florida's Turnpike in early 1981. can't make out the lettering on the cab door of this R Mack, but do know I shot it in early 1975 from all the road grime that it's covered with at the Springfield farmer's market. Used to see Rhodes bake N serve frozen dough products around Springfield quite often when I was taking pictures as a teenager. This KW was waiting for a receiving door to become available at the Pioneer Valley Refrigerated Warehouse in early 1975.
I found this photo in my spare pictures cigar box of Maxim City of Westfield Engine 2 in front of the driveway of the house I grew up in on Meadowbrook Lane sometime in summer 1974. The fire dept. responded to a pile of burning yard debris next door. That's Dad's 74 Chevy Impala in the foreground. A classic good looking KW leased to Wilson Freight's steel division parked in the back of the Marquis Truck stop along U.S. 5 in W. Springfield in summer 1974. Younkin Transfer from I'm not sure where had these two super looking IH Transtar's at Pioneer Valley Ref. Warehouse sometime in spring 1975.
A not all that common SBFA KW Conv. leased on with Eagle Motor Lines from Birmingham, AL carrying sections of high tension powerline transmission towers stopped in front of the Redwood Restaurant on U.S. 202 N. of Westfield in summer 1974. This looks to possibly be an ex: Smith's Transfer Corp. F Mack that an O/O has leased on with Eastern Refrigerated Transport from Harrisonburg, VA. He has it backed into a receiving dock at the former A & P Warehouse on Springfield's N. end during fall1974. Unidentified KWCOE taken in W. Springfield in summer 1974.
The lettering on this Pete taken in downtown Springfield in 1974 appears to read R.L. Spelton Stuart, VA. Unidentified White 7400 was paused briefly before the driver exited out of the A & P warehouse on Springfield's North end in late 1974. It was strange, A & P spent a whole bunch of $$ to pave and fence in their Springfield warehouse. Then they shut it down and then whole complex was torn down all within a few years. his was the best I could do to salvage this washed out picture of a Chevrolet Titan 90 that had pulled into the Valley View Diner along U.S. 5 in W. Springfield sometime in late fall 1974.
Not sure of what all the cab door lettering spells out on this good looking blue F model Mack at the Springfield farmers market in late 1974. Roland Caron Potatoes from Maine was at the Springfield farmers market in late 1974--early 1975. Here's one super looking KW for CA based Frontier Marketing Co-op that was parked on the side road next to that LTL Motel in W. Springfield early one evening during summer 1974. Love those classic colors!!
