The content of the picture section on Hank is invaluable covering trucks, some technical sheets, trucking history and stories, some old time advertising and an infinite number of truck pictures some of them illustrating extremely uncommon speciments. Without exaggeration we can say that we have here a very large part of the trucks and trucking memory.

@R. Buron
Rene, what happened to Texport? Are they still around? Or did they go out in the early "2000s'?" -
The last chance that I had to take a photo of a Texport unit was in 2003 at the Texport warehouse in Toronto.
The Shadow Thanks this. -
@R. Buron
You know what company I forgot to mention on here was USF Glennmoore which was gobbled up by Celadon in like 2008 or so. Was Glennmoore part of TNT or were they a USF offshoot? -
Glen Moore was an independent truckload carrier bought by USF, late 90's or early 2000', not sure exactly when. They then were part of the USF group acquired by YRC Worldwide which bought them to have a non-union truckload carrier.
Great management and laid back culture at Glen Moore but sadly during the YRC reorganization Glen Moore was sold off to Celadon which discontinued the brand, liquidated the assets except for the Carlisle terminal. They bought them for access to the few hundred drivers and some freight.bzinger, The Shadow and Mike2633 Thank this. -
A Comet Transport trailer photo.
Comet
The Comet operation being too small to earn money, the new entity USF now totally independant from TNT Ltd. decided to sell Comet to CRST in September 1997 which got also a three years contract to continue to link the USF regional networks between them.
In August 1998 USF tried again to enter in the truckload sector this time through the acquisition of Glen Moore to which was integrated, in August 1999, Underwood Trucking an Indiana based TL carrier and five months later Tri Star Transportation a TL Tennessee carrier. Alltogether the TL operatons of USF accounted for 4% of USF 2001 consolidated revenues operating 600 owned tractors and over 2,000 trailers and giving regular work to 125 0/0.
The rest of the story is tell by brian991219.The Shadow, Mike2633 and brian991219 Thank this. -

@R. Buron
Rene, I didn't talk much about them, because they were not totally on my radar, but TNT Wesbell, I know they did telephone stuff, but what was the size and scope of Wesbell?
