This extra nice KW W-900L was leased on to Oehme Contract Carrier from Lititz, PA. Caught it at a service plaza on I-95 in Connecticut in Oct. 1993 Western Star COE operating as Mike Short Trucking Mocksville, NC and was shot during the early 90's at the Citgo Falcon Fuel Stop near the Ft Pierce Florida's Turnpike interchange. This O/O leased on with McKenzie Trucking based in Tallahassee, FL was delivering a load of jet fuel to the fuel storage facility where I work at on Patrick AFB, FL during the late 90's.

Early evening shot of this Wheaton KW W-900 taken at the former West Melbourne, Florida Days Inn at I-95 & U.S. 192 about 1995. Penn Trucking Co. out of Cordele, GA at the N. Bound I-95 rest area at mile marker 168 in 1994. Kenworth T-600 out of Pembroke Pines, FL either leased to USF Dugan or pulling "overflow" freight for their Florida operations. Shot it about 1998 at the Vero Beach T/A

Here's an xtra fine looking KW W-900-L that I found in Oct. 2002 at the big Pilot in Whiteland, IN on I-65 X-95 (S. of Indianapolis abot 20 miles). I didn't catch the name on the door, sure was a good find I think. Kenworth W-900L I found at the shopping district parking area in Tifton, GA in 2001. The lettering on the side of the sleeper reads, Pacific Coast Carriers Ltd. Mississaugua, Ontario. KW W-900 Autohauler was leased to Auto Transport Ltd of Bethany, Ct and was taken at the T/A at Vero Beach, FL in April 1994.

Clean and very business looking KW T800 for Conoco, inc. from Ponca City, OK shot AT the Jackson, GA Flying J on I-75 Exit-200 in May 1995. This KW T-600 for W.D. Potato Ltd from Beeton and Toronto, ON has a really nice color scheme and looked especially sharp in the early morning light at the S. bound I-95 rest area at the 169 mile marker S. of Palm Bay, FL Freymiller Trucking out of East Chicago, IN (before they moved to Bakersfield, CA and later to OK City, OK) was one of the early big fleet users of the original T-6 "Anteaters". I cought this one about 1988 at the former Courtesy House 76 Auto Truck Stop W. of Vero Beach, FL

KW W-900L leased to Ranger pulling a Gemini freight box with the explosives drom behind the sleeper was taken in Oct. 1993 at the Ruthers Glen, VA Petro Stopping Center at Exit-104 of I-95 & VA Route 207 in Oct. 1993. Maxim Crane Works (formerly known as Carlisle Crane Rentals) out of Orlando, FL was taken on a cloudy day in 2002 at the N. Bound I-95 rest area at the 168 mile marker. S. of Palm Bay, FL. Very clever logo, a big X with a crane cable dangling from the highest point of the X. The good looking Western Star with the wrapped lumber load on the deck bed had E.S. Adams Trucking from some town in PA that starts with a "S". I found him at the Manada Hill, PA T/A in Oct. 1993

Here's a real odd-ball conversion of this White WC model. Towasaurus N Rex Monster Truck Racing and it is lettered on the side of the sleeper, Private Motor Home Not for hire. It appears to have a Massachusetts base plate and was discovered at the Ft Pierce Flying J along I-95 in early 2000. Beautiful blue KW W-900 I found at Pam's Truck Stop along I-40 Exit-238 East of Nashville in Lebanon, TN in Oct. 1994. KW T-800 Autohauler. Caron Auto Works is from Connecticut somewhere and I believe they were acquired by United Road Services and folded into their operation several years ago. Shot this T-800 in the mid 90's at the Vero Beach, FL T/A.

Here's an extra fancy KW tractor nicknamed "Carolina Condo" leased on to the Special Products Division of Atlas. Found him at the Falcon Citgo Fuel Stop W. of Ft Pierce on FL Route 70 in late 1994. This "what appears to be"orange KW W-900 was taken on a day that the remnants of a dust storm way across the Atlantic Ocean in the Sahara Desert found their way to Florida's East Coast. The entire sky had an orange tint and visability was reduced somewhat. He hails from Concord, NC and was hooked to a Burgess Transport freight box from Charlotte, NC Shot it at the Falcon Citgo W. of Ft Pierce sometime in the early 90's This is not your typical everyday load aboard this lowboy!! It's a restored B-25 Mitchell Bomber being hauled from Ft Lauderdale, FL out to the Confederate Air Force facility at Harlingen, TX by Les Chapman Transport, inc. from Blossom, TX and was taken on the same day and location as the "Carolina Condo" KW

Carpet Transport, Inc. out of Calhoun, GA. In their heydays of the 80's and early 90's they were a large fleetthat ran flooring products all over the U.S. with a big yard along I-75 in N. Georgia. In their later years they purchased the KW W-900L model and changed their colors to a brown and gold striped scheme. They ran flat top sleepers regionally and the stand up coast to coast.

Two CTI Kenworth T600's parked side by side was taken at the former Courtesy House 76 on FL Route 60 W. of Vero Beach, FL shot in the late 80's . CTI #369 with flat top sleeper was taken in N. Melbourne, FL shot in the late 80's. This former CTI tractor was converted nicely into this single axle straight job running expedited freight for Roberts Express. Came across it parked at a Jackson, TN motel lot when we lived there in early 1991.

Both of these Kenworth T-600's were shot at the Vero Beach T/A in the late 90's. Kenworth W-900 was shot at the former W. Melbourne, FL Days Inn at I-95 & U.S. 192 in the late 80's.

Owens Bros. Mayflower from Santa Cruz, CA was shot in the late 80's at the former West Melbourne, FL Days Inn at I-95 & U.S. 192 exit. This Atlas W-900 isn't really all that fancy, however it sure looked pretty and made for a nice phot sitting in the early morning sun at the Vero Beach T/A in 2000. Grove Manufacturing from Shady Grove, PA ran a sharp private fleet moving their cranes from plant to buyers. Caught this one paused along I-40 at Exit-126 in TN back in Mar. 1991.

Came across Wynonna Judd's concert support unit at the Cordele, GA T/A at Exit-97 on I-75 in Oct. 1999. The cab was lettered Wynonna, inc. Nashville, TN. A real nice looking setup indeed. The Tractor is leased on with Pan American Van Lines out of Long Beach, CA and is hooked to a Continental Van Lines furniture van who was based in Monterey, CA. I'm assuming either one bought the other or they merged forces back in the mid 90's when I shot this at a Days Inn W. of Vero Beach on FL Route 60. This KW W-900 read Faulkner on the cab door and had a Michigan base plate. Shot it at the Falcon Citgo Fuel Stop W.of Ft Pierce on FL Route 70 by Florida's Turnpike entrance in the early 90's

This extra nice KW W-900L owned by a Missouri farmer, I came across while visiting Springfield, MO in Oct. 1998. Kenworth T-800 latched onto the horse Pullman is for Lionshare Farm located somewhere in Massachusetts from the looks of the base plate. I shot it at the Hojo Express Inn W. of Vero Beach on FL Route 60 in early 2001. Kenworth W900L with covered wagon I shot at an I-75 Rest Area South of Lake City, FL in 2001. The name on the cab door reads, M & C Trucking Upper Sandusky, OH.

This nicely repainted KW T-600 and ex: Covenant Transport trailer was doing second duty for a small fleet out of Tipton, IN called Cannon Trucking and was shot East of Nashville near Mt Juliet, TN at an old 76 Auto Truckstop along I-40 in the early 90's. Kenworth heavy hauler, James "Whitey" Cain out of Atlanta, GA shot in 1999 the the Mid State Citgo Travel Plaza I-75 & U.S. 41 Exit-121 near Unadilla, GA I found this other photo of two more James "Whitey" Cain KW "heavies" I shot at the Mid-State Truck Stop near Unadilla, GA. It was taken at another part of the parking lot as about 6 or 7 of these nice rigs were all taking a break together.

KW T-800 w/ the big sleeper, flatbed and odd background was shot at the 1991 Mid America Trucking extravaganza near Louisville, KY which is held by the fairgrounds. The rig is owned by Ficel from Buffalo, NY Here is a sharp O/O's rig leased on w/ FFE out of Dallas, TX and was taken at the Falcon Citgo fuel stop W. of Ft Pierce by the Florida Turnpike entrance in the mid 90's. An early evening shot of the solid white KW T-600 has J & T Trucking of Bushnell, FL on the aerodam along the frame rails and was shot at the former Days Inn W. of Vero Beach on FL Route 60 in 2002.

This is what I call a classic style KW paint scheme on this Compton KW W-900 from Berkelely Springs, WV that I shot at White's 76 Auto Truck Stop along I-81 near Raphine, VA in Oct 1993. Here is a shot from the early 90's of Blue Line Distribution from either Arizona or Ontario that was "sittin pretty" at the old Courtesy House 76 Auto Truck Stop W. of Vero Beach, FL While on vacation in Oct. 1993 to where my parents use to live in the Indian Orchard section of Springfield, MA I saw this tired MB Mack surrounded by two tired old freight boxes at Martin Trucking's former terminal there. I do not know much about Martin other than they were a G.F. local carrier.

Once a Marine always a Marine so the saying goes. This trucker by the name of Roneker from N.Y. State and leased on to haul Russer Meats spent alot of money to have his KW T-600 all painted up in Marine scenes and logo's. He posed his pride and joy nicely for me in these two shots at the Falcon Citgo W. of Ft Pierce in early 1998. J.S. & D. Trucking, Inc. is a milk hauler from Quitman, GA and this was the very first T-2000 I saw pulling a tanker when that model first came out and I thought it looked "awesome" gleaming in the morning sun at the Mid-State Citgo along I-75 near Unadilla, GA in the mid 90's.

Allmand Bros., Inc. from Holdredge, NE appears to be a construction support equipment manufacturer. Orange seem to be a popular color among companies who operate fleets up north as perhaps they stand out better in blizzards?? Found him at the Vero Beach, FL T/A in the mid 90's. Here's a real beauty from Boyden, IA. Not sure what Demco makes, but they had a sharp unit to deliver the products to their markets. The cab reads, Demco Transportation, Inc. and was photographed at the former Unocal Corporate owned 76 Auto Truck Stop in Wildwood, FL along I-75 just above the Northern terminus of Florida's Turnpike in Oct.1990. This sharp Mack Superliner leased to now by-gone Redwing Carriers I shot at Jack's Shell Truck Stop along I-65 at Exit-304 near Cullman, AL on June 21, 1990. Redwing went from company owned rigs to O/O's before being folded into DSI Transports in the mid 90's after a British conglomerate bought up a bunch of tanker/bulker fleets across the U.S. in the 80's.

Cowen Truck Line, Inc. from Perryville, OH runs a very eye catching fleet and it's a treat to find one stopped like this T-2000 was at the T/A near Madison, GA along I-20 & U.S. 441 in Jan. 2002. Notice the dual round headlights this contractor who was leased to Melbourne, FL based Sorensen Moving and Storage had installed on his KW W-900. He use to park it when he was in town over beachside in Indian Harbor Beach, FL in the mid 80's where I shot it. This was a former Brown Transport Corp. tractor that Benton Express, Inc. from Atlanta, GA had purchased and painted up in their color scheme. Shot it as he came out from under the fuel island canopy in early 1998 at the Vero Beach, FL T/A.

Almost forgot that I took a shot of this ABF R Mack in early 1991 at their Jackson, TN terminal and relay yard near I-40 & U.S. 412. Here is an interesting paint job on this O/O leased on with Comcar owned WSE, (Willis Shaw Express) out of Elm Springs, AR. This was taken in 1995 at the Flying J on I-75 a little South of Dalton, GA. Kevin Ryman, inc. from Berwick, PA runs an immaculate fleet of KW' W-900L's which are frequent customers at the Vero Beach, FL T/A. I found this one glistening in the early morning sunlight in 2001.

The driver of this KW W-900L leased on with McKenzie Tank Lines from Tallahassee, FL is from Belgium and came to America to "truck" and own a Harley Davidson. He use to run coast to coast out of S. Florida, but that left him no time to ride his "hog" So now he "runs with the big dogs" during the week and rides his bike on weekends. Shot this at the fuel storage area where I work on Patrick AFB in Florida. Hollar & Greene Produce Co., inc. is a large agri-business concern with locations in Boone, NC and Bunnell, FL. Their trademark has been these sharp solid green KW's for many years which they have a drawing of on their boxes of cabbage you see in grocery stores down here. I found this beauty stopped at the S. bound I-95 rest area at the 169 mile marker in 1994. Apple House from Scranton, PA is a long time hauler in and out of Florida. They ran this distinctive paint scheme on their fleet of KW's throughout the 70's, 80's and up until about the mid 90's when they went to a solid dark blue. Their rigs were always immaculate, and still are to this day. Found this T-800 stopped at the former Courtesy House 76 W. of Vero Beach in 1995.

This was one impressive Mack Ultraliner leased on with Prestige Moving & Storage. If you look closely you will notice that the trailer is unhooked and it looks almost as though this driver has a tent set up inside the cab while layed over at the Vero Beach, FL T/A in the late 90's. Benny Whitehead, Inc. from Eufaula, AL was an early fleet user when these KW W-900L models first came out. They sure were an eyecatcher as this shot proved taken at the Falcon Citgo Fuel Stop W. of Ft Pierce on FL Route 70 in the early 90's Shot this NAVL at the Vero Beach, FL T/A in the late 90's.

Harvey's Supermarkets is a small S. Georgia grocery chain based in Nashville, GA. They have a neat fleet and have been most elusive for me to find one stopped. I did manage to catch this KW on the roll on U.S. 82 in Downtown Tifton, GA on a heavy overcast day in May2003. This sharp looking ride belongs to Lamison Produce out of Cullman and was taken at the old Howard Johnson's motel just before it was torn down in the mid 90's to make way for a Pilot Truck Stop by Florida's Turnpike Ft Pierce ramp.

If you look closely you will notice that the trailer is unhooked and it looks almost as though this driver has a tent set up inside the cab while layed over at the Vero Beach, FL T/A in the late 90's.	Benny Whitehead, Inc. from Eufaula, AL was an early fleet user when these KW W-900L models first came out. They sure were an eyecatcher as this shot proved taken at the Falcon Citgo Fuel Stop W. of Ft Pierce on FL Route 70 in the early 90's	Shot this NAVL at the Vero Beach, FL T/A in the late 90's.

Harvey's Supermarkets is a small S. Georgia grocery chain based in Nashville, GA. They have a neat fleet and have been most elusive for me to find one stopped. I did manage to catch this KW on the roll on U.S. 82 in Downtown Tifton, GA on a heavy overcast day in May2003.	This sharp looking ride belongs to Lamison Produce out of Cullman and was taken at the old Howard Johnson's motel just before it was torn down in the mid 90's to make way for a Pilot Truck Stop by Florida's Turnpike Ft Pierce ramp.
