On hankstruckpictures.com you might find something. Not alot of history on some companies but alot of good pictures anyway. Hope this helps.JimmyB said:American Red Ball Transit is the moving company and Red Ball Motor Freight was the LTL company as I understand it. I think Spector - Red Ball went out of business during 1982. Wish there was a good history of the LTL business.

Yep, I'm a regular on Hank's Truck Picture Forum, I share Yellow stuff there...For many, driving is just a job. But, I got to tell you, I chose driving, I like what I do...I'm a truck fan!

Is this the same set, but with 4 new books in the series advertised by the American Truck Historical Society? The author is Mike Terbecki.

I worked for Yellow in the Boston aka Abington terminal - a few years back. I'm now at UPSF.
If you want to know about Red Ball Motor Freight, visit my web site angelfire.com/tx2/redball
I also wrote an article for Old Time Trucks magazine with more of the history of the company. My dad was a linedriver from "48 to "70. Contact me redball98@yahoo for more.

The Red Ball terminal and general office was in Dallas was on Irving Blvd. Conway has the terminal now. RB bought ETWNC in the 70's and then merged with Spector in "80. They went under in '82. The trucks were midnight blue with yellow lettering and the Red Ball. In the late "70's they changed to white with red letering.
