Where is everyone #5

....why am I seeing Keen trucks?

 

I was curious about that, but they all seemed to have two stacks so I wasn't sure. I gather Keen is not using these?

 

Those were keen trucks back when we still had the stripes and two stacks. somewhere in the 03-09 model years. the last of the trucks that weren't neutered to 65 and the last of the trucks that the family actually bought.

 

Those were cressler trucks. I don’t know what the relationship was with keen. But they were tied closely. Trucks were almost identical except for the stripe. This is going back 20 years. Cressler did van loads and fall off loads and keen did the bigger stuff. At some point keen shuttered them. Probably about the time Bill Keen sold out.

 

I didn’t remember keen having the stripe, but looks like I was wrong

 

I got a handful of coworkers that drove for Cressler. Some of those guys are still around... but now a lot of the guys who worked here in the 80s and early 90s are gone.

 

I just wish I could find one of the old 4 axle 362’s they used to run

 

I know you've probably seen the guy on youtube that has one of the old 3 axles. keen really didn't have too many company trucks back then, especially 4 axle. in relation to the overall company size anyway. we were built more like daily where the bulk of it was o/o then.

cressler was out of shippensburg. they also owned a company out of wyoming back in the day.

 

Don’t watch any on the YouTube. Except Ol’ 2stroker

 

Wonder how close it was to blowing up..they all pretty much cracked this way.
