The good old days

Any body remember P.I.E. Been gone a long time.

 

I've only been out here about 7 years, and I remember P.I.E.
So, it can't have been that long.

And when exactly did 'all American' freight end?
Was it just after the Civil War or something?

 

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?

 

I remember Elvira...

 

Yeah,I was leased to them in the 70's. They finally closed the doors around 1990,after being bought and sold several times,wasn't much left.

 

I actually was watching some old family videos the other night. Pop had taken the camera with him and was in Alabama panning the entrance to the truck stop when an old Thurston truck came in. This company got absorbed into another in the 70s. It stands out in my mind because those trucks always reminded me of the Howells in Gilligan's island.

 

#### I remember them. They have been gone a long time....

 

Want to take a trip in time go watch the first Smokey and the Bandit movie. Most trucking companies with trucks in that movie don't exist anymore.

 

What was the big company in Memphis that Swift bought?
