Was there ever a mix of modern looking tractors like in the picture and old fashioned round roof looking trucks in the fleet together ?

I think you may mean the 405 IHC and DF 860 GMCs (bubble-nose)
We ran those in the late 50s along with B-model Macks.
The GMCs were hydramatic, the 405s were the first Roadranger I'd ever seen.

Northeastern ran a sleeper operation up the East coast and was sold by Ryder to John Guinard in 1955.
Ryder kept the 10 tractors and added them to our fleet.
Years later Guinard sold to National, I think they were out of N J.
 
Has anyone heard that ODFL has a hiring freeze until June ? Just wanted to know if this was true or not? I I HOPE NOT . things should start to pick up soon.

How is your mower board holding up? Maybe time to expand to include mowing customers grass while there delivering? Then OD could work more drivers?

Oh come on, that’s setting the standard to high. Some of these diploma drivers have a hard time just doing a post trip or pre trip, they can’t put down the phone. True story, a newbie that they hired was always late and they couldn’t figure out why. He’d hook up to a long box and then sit on his phone for 30 minutes or longer. I like photography so I started taking pictures with a time stamp. Showed the TM and he no longer played with his phone and he never even looked at me again. I told him that I had turned his lazy butt in.

He learned why my nickname was Maddawg. Hahaha
