    Bad ### pictures. Do you have any with them parked next to fuel pump with prices showing.

    Technology sure has come a long way. They make new better technology, but someone keeps making better idiots, ie gps drivers. Lol.

    First post from an old timer. I spent a lot of years with International Transport. Prior to that I was with E.L Murphy out of St Paul. IT was a great company, a couple of the guys did very well like Dave Hodgeman (RIP) who formed Southern Pride and Al Koenig who started Midwest Specialized. Those were great days of trucking. Schneider screwed up IT and I left and went to Inway for a few years and then finally retired. Your pictures bring back a lot of memories. My brother was at Sammons for 15 years. We ran a lot of western Canada in those days and still miss it.

    I was told this by another old timer who I ran with at IT about 3-4 months ago. Maybe he had him confused with someone else. I'm 74 and he calls me young fella.

    Thought I would bring this thread back to life, maybe someone has some more old pictures to post.
