Ls and LJs


Recommended Posts

Does anybody remember Humes Transfer in Steubenville Ohio? My uncle Bob used to drive for them when I was little, he always talked about the old Mack Ls and LJs, I can`t seem to find any pics online but I remember the trucks were yellow and black. Also Weldon trucking in Mingo Jct. Ohio had some L dump trucks.

But my favorite L was owned by a neighbor named Baker in Mingo Jct, red with black fenders and an aluminum sleeper added on after a coil came loose and rolled forward. I really liked this truck as I was getting old enough to drive he would let me help paint the wheels and then he would make music by pushing the brakes and tugging on the horn making all kinds of sounds. He always said he had the fastest truck around, I sure miss seeing that truck.
