Erin Dorn

I am sorry I am just seeing this. My father did live in Massachusetts, sadly he passed away at 68 in January 2022.

They sold to Oneida in 81, Oneida went out of business shortly thereafter. My grandfather was Walter Dorn President of Dorn’s Transportation.

Yes he does in Springfield, did you know my dad or grandpa Walt?

Yes he does, he lives in Springfield. Did you know my Dad or Grandpa Walter?

What job was this? What trucking company?

They were parked on Rail Road aAvenue for years and years, they are gone now

Who was your Uncle and your Dad?

Hello John, My Uncle Fred did not die until 1997, he was alive and well when Oneida went under. My Grandfather Walter who ran the business for the last 30 years actually died 6 months before Fred. Walter was 78, Fred was 95! They actually had to sue Oneida for the last bit of money that was owed to them from the sale. And they won and Oneida had to pay although they tried hard not to.

Awesome, thank you so much!!! I actually bought the book from the Amazon link you sent me Thank you! I added some newspaper articles related to Dorn’s and my Grandpa Walter Dorn

And I asked my Dad and he remembers your Dad

They did sell to Oneida, my grandfather was Walter Dorn he owned Dorn’s transportation. They sold the business. My father Robert Dorn and grandfather did sell the trucks under the name Dorn’s fleet Maintenance. But Dorn’s Transportation in-fact did sell in 1981 to Oneida, for around a few million dollars. Then Oneida went out of business.

I have that original, my grandfather owned Dorn’s transportation

Could you send pictures of Dorns trucks from that book?

My grandfather Walter Dorn owned Dorn’s Transportation, they had multiple terminals in PA, NJ, CT, etc. Their main terminal was in Rensselaer NY before moving to Albany. He employed almost 800 people and his business was in operation from 1934-1981, when he sold it to Oneida Trucking. I have a lot of picture that I can post. Erin Dorn-Lewis
