    I also remember watching as these slowly rusted away with Swift tricks dragging them around, for what seemed like a decade after they took over.

    Those old trailers are still on the road! I saw one a week or so ago.

    Swift has one on display at their yard along I-5 just south of Willows, California.

    I actually wanted to work for these guys back in 1996. Them and MNX. Both companies were bought by Swift.
     
    mjd4277, Oxbow, Hammer166 and 2 others Thank this.

    I remember MS Carriers.
    I remember 76 truck stops.
    And I wish I could still find a truck stop that had a Taco Bell in it, I'm getting really tired of Subway and McDonald's.
