mechohaulic Posted Monday at 01:24 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:24 AM started out looking at 1/25 resin trucks; ended up on site of trucks of old. found many east coast fleets not only forgot about. but recalled working on some. question now is there was a freight outfit Vallerie having Mack/ Reo's. they were a light brown/beige color. there was also a sister company having same color == what was the name ?

70mackMB Posted Monday at 02:06 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:06 AM mech, Vallerie had a cross dock terminal in Concord NH. l was doing LTL at the time they were open. Most of their trucks were Whites but l can't find any pictures. l don't remember a sister company at that time. When they closed NEMF moved into the terminal on Hall St after a couple years. Salia (sp) went in after NEMF and they have moved on to a different address also. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76293-east-coast-freight-companies/#findComment-588453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted Monday at 02:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:20 PM There was a company called Brown, and they had light brown or beige trucks. I remember them from the 80's, but I don't remember where they were out of. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mechohaulic Posted Monday at 02:27 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:27 PM the "sister" company was Darcey; old age kicked in again around 2 am this morning wake up thinking : it is Darcy . there were whites in the fleet also. possibly the owner had two daughters/wife -daughter named Vallerie and Darcey. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76293-east-coast-freight-companies/#findComment-588488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baskin had 5 KW's . Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76293-east-coast-freight-companies/#findComment-588496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted Monday at 07:04 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:04 PM Brown was out of the SE. l think they did a lot of carpet products.

All their trucks were that same light brown color with the same emblems. I'm going to look in the "Trucking Pioneers" books when Zina gets off work. They're on a shelf in her office, but I think the Brown I was thinking of is out of business. You know, that's what I miss about the "Hank's Truck Pictures" website, you could find all the trucking answers there. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted Monday at 10:52 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 10:52 PM I looked on a fallen flag Facebook page and saw these, more models. Nice model though. I was looking for info about Brown, didn't see anything but the model pictures. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted Monday at 11:03 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:03 PM Finally found a "real" truck picture. Looks like an Overnite MB beside it too. And I screenshot this. One guy thought they were out of Atlanta, one said Texas. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
