    Can't say as I recall them, but does anyone remember the Caretta trucks that used to run steady from NJ to CA and back?

    zeitners in omaha bought mainliner in the early 2000s and slowed the trucks down to 68mph ...and by 2010 had phased out the mainliner name .

    Check Hank's Truck Pictures/Forum. They probably have pics and stories about them.
