A view of the Past, Vintage Photos

I started in a old Diamond Reo for B&R materials in Tucson...1986-ish
Rotted floor boards, you could see the ground going by...very manual truck
I caught on fire going down I-10 while hauling steer manure, i ditched the truck on the 6th ave offramp..DOT /DPS realized I didnt have a CDL, got a few tickets...The company liked me and the next weekend I did my roadtest in a transfer with a 3rd party tester...
I was almost to ten bucks an hour there!!

 

Yeah, we called them SCHOOL GIRLS, raise hell in town, get them out in the country and they wouldn't do a thing.

 

Priceless!

 

Not an old pic I took it tonight. Glad to see some older iron being put to use on the farm.

 

Old roadway or yellow freight city tractor?

 

Looks like it. I'd like to have it.

 

Probably within the last ten years there was still one from roadway running around our area. I haven't seen it since Yellow bought Roadway they must have retired it. A buddy of mine went to the Henry Ford museum (it's on my agenda) he said they have one on display.

 

Ive heard that museum is awesome.

 

It's about 2 1/2 hours from me, I'm going to get there eventually. Maybe after I get done dragging the kids to every thing my wife thinks they need to see it'll be my turn.

 

Shouldnt she have that at the top of the list of things for them to see?
