Old School Quiz

I drove a werner cabover and yes I remember dick simon gee am I telling my age

 

Green and yellow cab overs was Builders Transport.
Monfort was the the left lane hero's.
Schneider, Werner, CRST, H.O. Wolding, and Stevens Transport
Dick Simon had the Skunk holding th flag.

 

all i could think of was jb hunt for cabover! senility has got me good!

 

simon still has the skunk. i seen a pretty new pete at the top stop in nephi last night.

i didn't think they were still around.

 

If i remember right, the flag the skunk was holding originally said sweet Simon..

 

didnt dick simon become central refrigerated

 

Prime used to have fast trucks, and idiots that pushed them, now they are in the way at 62 on a good day!

 

no way OLD SCHOOL, but 19 years running these big boys, I do enjoy asking relatively "New" drivers these questions:
1. Name 5 big companies today that ran nothing but cab-overs.
*bonus - Name the company with cab-overs that were green and yellow trim : jb hunt, schinder, werner, interstate and gardner swift
2. Who were the BIG DOGS on the road who are now 62 - 65mph trucks? schnider, werner national carriers prime tmc swift
3. Who had the skunk holding a flag as a logo? (I ran for them for 6 years, great people before they sold out) dick simon i workd for them for 6yrs also
*Bonus - the skunk had a different flag in the beginning - what was it? sweet simon
*double bonus - Why was the skunk chosen as the logo? they used too haul perfume an cosmectics

Ok granted these questions center on the late 80's - early '90's. Just a little jog the memory quiz.

 

Dick Simon..."Sweet Simon". Maybe some of their old trailers around, but think Moyes of Swift bought it out of bankruptsy & changed the name to Central Refrigerated. Am I right?
