This is my tribute to a long time pure Mack flatbed fleet called Shelton Trucking Service, inc. from a small Florida Panhandle town called Altha. They are not fancy, but do have a nice color scheme which has stayed pretty much the same for a good many years. |

| This Montgomery Tank Lines CH Mack was shot at a Conoco fuel stop along I-24 at Exit-174 W. of Chattanooga, TN in the mid 90's. The early evening sun position made for excellent picture conditions. |
You don't see too many dedicated auto haulers for Moving fleets, however this was a good find in 1990 at the West Memphis, AR Petro Stopping Center by the I-40/ I-55 split to go over different bridges across the Mississippi River into Memphis, TN. |

Williamson Truck Lines from Wilson, NC was a long time refrigerated carrier. They ran that color scheme for years and operated several models of IH COE's. They started out as Williamson Distribution and changed their name to Truck Lines at some point. They kind of faded away and haven't seen them in several years, maybe they are still around on a very small scale, not sure. Shot this picture in the late 80's at the former Days Inn on FL Route 60 W. of Vero Beach. |
