    I kinda doubt it too. ;-)
    Coming back into the fold after a 30+ year hiatus from OTR. Starting with Millis Transfer this coming Monday.
    Anyway, getting all my ####e together this weekend and came across my old briefcase that I carried with me during my years at Poole Truck Lines. Thought some of you old hands might get a kick out of the picture. I miss flat beds but not sure this old body could tarp down a load now.
    Sign me,
    Guardedly Excited

    My Uncle worked for Poole and at least one son did, way back when.

    A Poole truck with a hood? Is that one they bought special just for the photo on the handbook?

    Poole was going to all conventional when I left in 86. I never got one though. CO International with. 300 and 7 speed Spicer. My first Poole truck had a 903 Cummins,,, that thing would scream but not pull a load downhill.

    I started in 91 and I don't think I ever saw a Poole truck with a hood. All I remember were the corn binders with the setback axle.

    You're going to be in for a shocker out here. It's nothing like it used to be.

    Yeah, I know. It's going to be different I'm sure but I didn't get to be this age without accepting change.
