Since there's a thread about odd names,thought I'd see if any of the old guys here remember nick names of companys.Remember,we just had CB's to entertain ourselves back then.Easy ones were "Big R",Roadway,"C.F."Corn Flakes,(and a whole bunch of other derogatory names that I'm not going to print), "MasonDixon",were called Handshakers,"Wilson Freight",Dirty W","McClean Trucking",Dirty Diamonds,"Transcon Lines",Trashcan,"ETMF",East Texas Monkee Farmers.
Any one remember anymore you can print?
