From old upsf/tforce trailers to "new" saia trailers. At my hub, I see about 25 or 30 of these old pups waiting to be converted to saia trailers.. Besides the new paint/decal scheme it *looks* like they're renewing some of the electrical/mechanical parts. We also got some old upsf "landing gear" dollies, thankfully they're not in a rush to put those into service.

@road_runner
So this is the coolest or one of the coolest pictures @R.Buron has taken. He had the best pictures of TNT in Canada and the Great Lakes states. What was a big portion of his catalogue was up on Hanks Truck Pictures for a very long time, until Hanks took the photos down, but the photos have surfaced in other areas and it's interesting that Yellow is what TNT Holland devolved into. TNT had so many different companies.
This photo I always thought was cool. Olex was TNT's urgent shipping division for the automotive industry. Basically expedited service specifically for the auto industry operated heavy up in Ontario Canada auto belt. TNT did have a company called Just In Time which handled "just in time" shipments for the Japanese auto industry that operated on zero inventory business model. Olex was tailored to solving issues for the auto industry a machine goes down in an auto factory and shuts down the assembly line or they are running out or low on something, but 4 hours away is what ever widget they need, Olex would run out and get what ever is needed. This photo is cool because there is a really cool 1990s Ford F-Superduty Expedite truck with sleeper cab in the foreground which is pretty cool, I'd like to see more of that truck, but my guess is this is the only picture of that truck and I'm sure now 27 years later that truck has probably been junked and is someone's kitchen silverware now, but still really cool.Shep Shiloh, The Shadow, Gatordude and 2 others Thank this. -
