Talkin' Trucks With Mike:A History of the TNT Companies

It's not night, but you can see the part of the air shield that lights up.

 

One of the drivers I work with said that his dad was vice president and second in command of a regional LTL carrier and I think it was ARA Smith. I'll have to ask him again, but that name sounds familiar.

 

Here is a list by Rene Buron of all the TNT United States of America Companies.

This thread will mostly be talking about TNT operations in the US and Canada and we need a list of all the different companies they had to keep them all straight.

Here the completed TNT NA US operations puzzle.I voluntary excluded some marginal and/or very short lived operating units.For the canadian operations look later at the Falling Flags Since 1980-Canada section.
