Chuck P

There was a guy in South Jersey who ran a Diamond Reo/dump trailer combination for years after they quit making them,this truck was SPOTLESS! He was featured in Overdrive Magazine,because he was so well known to all the dump truck guys,he washed this thing EVERY night,wore a white shirt and tie to work! (really) i believe he was awarded a new at the time International conventional,for being voted "trucker of the decade",or something like that. I saw the truck and trailer a few times,wish i had gotten pictures,really a class operation!.....................................Mark

He ran some sort of special foundry sand or something. I remember him at Englishtown using a feather duster of some sort on the truck.

I met him at the Diesel Drags a few years back when he had the IH. He and the truck were both a class act. I don't recall his name but he was from Braddock, NJ down near Hammonton. He was dressed in white shirt and tie with pressed trousers and he had a plaque on the side of the truck proclaiming his prestigious award. His son had an equally nice long-wheelbase daycab Pete.

I was there.

Ditto. That Woodland Mack was from my old neighborhood. He currently runs an R600 single-axle with a tri-axle dump every day up and down RT130.

Wow! I was wondering if the Mack Trailer A-Car was still around. It looks like it was taken off of the road as the front plate was removed. I grabbed a handful of these handouts from Beyer Bros in Fairview a long time ago.

LMAO! geez guys,you're makin' me homesick! not many people outside of Jersey even know what a "piney" is!.................................Mark

HAHA!! It's not a tree.......it's a state of mind! LMAO!!!!

Remember Chuck 287 didn't go all the way up. You had to get off in Montville. That was a pain in the ass for us having to go to Wayne and cut over. We used to do a lot of work in Mountain Lakes and out by Culver Lake in Sussex County. Where is Columbus exactly? It is nice up here but I have to live just over the border I can't afford Bergen County.

I remember when Boonton / Montville was the end of the line for RT287. I'm just off of NJTP Exit 7. A stone's throw from Fort Dix. Lot's of farmland but not quite a "piney" either.

Two fine examples taken at the wet and windy ATHS National show.

Rob, you're way up there! When I ran for Penske, the furthest I was up that way was Oakland area. Many times to Parsippany and Pine Brook too. Pretty part of the state up that way...... a lot different than my neck of the woods.

I'm an information freak and I love to see this stuff. It would truly be a shame if you could not post any more of your brochure collection. The scans have been great quality and I looked forward to seeing new brochures posted.

Taken just today in front of Bergey's Mack in Hamilton Twp, NJ.

Great thread! I love the shot of the LT with the short dump trailer from the previous page.

How is the name pronounced......is it "selly" or chelly"? Just curious.

He is a few of my 1963 DC-200,ex Saw mill trucking Yonkers,N Y

There were some great pictures of that truck in Saw Mill lettering on one of the diecast boards a while back. Very impressive unit.

Tackaberry A-Car taken at Macungie. From what I gather this truck has ridiculous low miles on it.

I've heard of this monster but have never seen pics of it.

Those are definately older shots because it shows their old location on the door. They are in Branchburg now just off of RT22.

Thanks for posting those. It looks that user is adding more material to his site. The AMT Model truck section is stunning to say the least.

Wow, nice little pup! Marlboro was the first big truck show I attended. I drove 6 hours one way in my 1986 Buick Grand National. What a trip.
