never heard of him, but Nancy Shevell (now Mrs. Paul McCarthy of the Beetles) she is the owners daughter of NEMF, came to my terminal and bitched that the office was throwing away perfectly good (her opinion) manilla envelopes that could be used for inter office mailings, (via truck mail)......rather than to buy such inter-office envelopes....Did anyone experience Ivan Hofmann? He was vice president of operations with RPS, and then an executive vice president with FedEx Ground. When he was district 16 manager for Roadway Express, we referred to him as Herr Hofmann. Herr Hofmann would climb in our dumpster at the Albuquerque Roadway terminal with his suit on, and climb back out with a roll of masking tape that still had a little bit of tape on it. And bitch about it??
Novick was not out of New England, but Winchester Va.
Never understood why these old carriers ran Dayton wheels, very few Budds
They also had one in Newark NJ behind the Budweiser brewery. It was a local 478 Teamster jobCa

Sanborn's was bought out by APASanborn's was another one, think they were based in New Hampshire.
May as well include Red Star up in New England. It was a great company to work for until TNT bought us.
i dont think coles was bought by roadway...... i always thought it was overnite or fedexdear god, yes, there were like as many companies as there are now DD's at every corner.
Branch, St. Johnsbury, Yale, Carolina, among what i can recall right at the moment...i know Carolina got swallowed up by ABF.
Never knew Coles was taken over by roadway.
It was a Roadway Service Inc regional like Viking, Spartan and Central Freight.i dont think coles was bought by roadway...... i always thought it was overnite or fedex
South Portland ,Maine,Aquired by APA of Nort Bergen NJSanborn's was another one, think they were based in New Hampshire.
Nelson Freight ,Rockville CT.Just ran across this picture of some Nelson trucks, hadn't remembered them.
I applied for a job with them way back, got in an argument with the manager, he said something I didn't like. Told him to shove his job up his ass. Hey, what can I say, I was a young hot head. The color scheme on these was blue and yellow.
Nah ,Sanborns ran whites and fords with detroitsI was just going to mention Sanborn's. I remember that line & Cole's from when I was in Maine. One or both had trickle chargers in the cabs to keep the batteries warm while they were parked.
I think Sanborn's like a few other freight lines bought used ABF road tractors when the company was on a 3 year trade cycle.
