39 Baby Mack Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 LCL Transit,Green Bay,Wis. ran Macks for years.The reorganized LCL Bulk Transport,still runs Mack. There is a couple of their older R model pictures on Hank's,but I'm not even going to start that round of B.S.! However, recently departed Bill Bedell had taken a nice shot of an early FS/FL that could have been an O/O truck (they had several at one time) painted in their old colors.EnjoyAl,If you put a horseshoe on it I'd have to do a double take!Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCR Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 MATLACK Inc. Lansdowne,PA was a BIG user of Macks.............Remember the back bumper on their trailers? "Pipeline on wheels"....................................MarkMy father owned a Gulf service station for nearly 40 years and as a kid gasoline was delivered in orange and blue Mack trucks. Then Gulf Oil Corp. contracted with Matlack to deliver the gas and they were all Macks as Mark has posted. This started my affair with Mack trucks and I can't shake it. 2 Quote Denny330-550-6020A "Mack Pack" Charter Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 LCL either had a terminal or a big customer right across from Peck Pack in Milwaukee,WI. We hauled up there in the early '80's and there were a pair of really nice B61's they were using for shag tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Pulley Freight Lines (PFL) from Des Moines,IA ran a large fleet of Macks till they closed up in the '80's. ,Hermann Bros.,now Transwood from Omaha had all Macks. Werner Enterprises and CR England wasn't 100% but both had a large number of Cruiseliners in the late '70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
