The Big R

Those were the days! They would also load 30 deliveries on them, 1st stop on the tail and the rest of it in the nose. Some customers could wait days to receive their entire shipment because after they stripped your pick ups off they just started reloading it without pulling the old deliveries back. This was in the 70's later in the 90's they figured it out. :duh:
I thought only Yellow FRT did that in ROCHESTER,,NY ! LATE 80 S TO THE 90 S. Had a new TM come in and got rid of the jitterbugs and bobtails and loaded new 40 fts for all city peddles,even for center city. alot of wheeling frt when a 40 was to big for some deliveries. After a nice bonus he loaded all 45 s for city like Roadway did
 
I used to live in a duplex
Our bunkroom was in a duplex in Columbus Ga in the old days.
The walls were very thin, you could hear everything said next door, I recall once when the husband told his wife, don't let that kid crawl across the kitchen table naked, he's dragging his tallywhacker in the gravy.
