Chicago R models


Recommended Posts

Mackey,was the R 700 on  that brochure  an Artim  broker? I always  thought it could  have been. I remember seeing several  day cabs hauling  steel around Chicago  back in the late '70's  early  '80's.  Some companies  that come to mind: Umthun,CW,CRST,Rediehs,Chief,all the big freight outfits with their "special commodities" divisions, and of course Artim. USS was running 3 shifts and pumping out steel like hell wouldn't  have it!  Al
