You are correct. ABF did have a fleet of cabover Freightliners one year with Cummins power, I will have to think to remember what year, (80's) but no conventional cab Freightliners back then. Also, none of the companies ABF acquired had conventional cab Freightliners.
I have to say P.I.E. Nationwide had the sharpest looking color combo's on their trailers and of cause the most handsome drivers in the industry, right seebreeze.
And the best bunch of guys at Spring Valley.I have to say P.I.E. Nationwide had the sharpest looking color combo's on their trailers and of cause the most handsome drivers in the industry, right seebreeze.
I don't know about that. But I will say those last pictures of the PIE set and the Roadway set fired me up! Made me want to get right out there again! For about 5 seconds!And the best bunch of guys at Spring Valley.
FC, we had a great crew at PIE, Spring Valley. Even the managers there were OK. One of the best work environments I've experienced. Almost looked forward to going in every day.
Few and far between as we know. Had a friend who worked for ABF up there. I think they shared a dock but not quite sure. He also was a pretty happy camper there.

PS - Of course some of my residential deliveries to high end homes with bored housewives in Northern Bergen County may have had something to do with my feeling that way.FC, we had a great crew at PIE, Spring Valley.

I put in quite a bit of casual P&D time at ABF in Nanuet in the mid 1980's when I was slow at PIE.
It was one of the best terminals I ever worked at and the small barn in Hackensack was also a great place to work.FC, we had a great crew at PIE, Spring Valley. Even the managers there were OK. One of the best work environments I've experienced. Almost looked forward to going in every day.
Being the second best good looking P.I.E. driver behind breezy I was kept on a commercial p&d route everyday so drivers like Triplex could find a date for the weekend.PS - Of course some of my residential deliveries to high end homes with bored housewives in Northern Bergen County may have had something to do with my feeling that way.

We also had Cummins in the 23 and 25 series, plus like Roady mentioned, the most handsome drivers.

Cummins were 300, I always heard the 3406 Cats were set at 290, I know some were much stronger.
