Really sucked when CF closed I had me a nice P&D run in the valley I live in. A set in and out everyday with a newer freightliner city tractor. Power steering, air & a radio. Damn I liked that tractor. Like driving a Tonka Toy.

I know how you feel. PIE just gave me my trophy truck and $50k a few days before they folded.
I spent it all on chrome stacks, shiny wheels, new CB, mud flaps with the chrome babe, and white wall tires.
Check those mirrors.

Should have saved some of the $50k, I wouldn't be depending on squirrel gravy.

Maybe get some of those gators in your front yard. Pretty good eating when deep fried.

Why is ABF Freight not listed? I bet they were larger than the bottom 3rd of Moody's list in 1968 von.

Interesting, that was a few years before my time in freight. But I saw some of the big ones go belly up after I started in the business.
