Never Stand Still

Tsmt had a terminal in my neck of the woods I think they use them boxes for hauling explosives

 

Mike2633,

I was looking over your drawings and I got to thinking what might work for your "fictional" operation would be a Magna Van. You could order them in various lengths. As far as I know not many were built, I've personally only seen one which was owned by Gordon trucking back in the 1980's. I think they primarily used it for service to the coast where the highways had strict tractor trailer length rules. If your not familiar with the Magna Van concept watch the youtube video below.

 

Mike2633,
Here's another book idea for you. It's being sold on Amazon for $77.00! I'm sure your familiar with Navajo Freight Lines. They were in my opinion the quintessential ICC era western common carrier. Of course their livery was rich with droms and truck & trailers. My wife's great aunts dad drove for them out of Albuquerque New Mexico.

 

yeah, somehow Navajo, Digby Lines and Voyager are all interrelated.

 

It's my understanding that Don Digby purchased the Navajo trademark from ABF after ABF purchased and closed Navajo Freight Lines. The Navajo Express truckload carrier we know today has a connection to the old Navajo Freightlines in name only.

 

oh, I did not know that, thought it was the same thing.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Where is the official truckers historian? (@Mike2633 )
