No not dump trucks,we had a small truck farm in south Jersey,mainly apples/peaches we hauled bulk apples to several plants that made vinegar, applesauce etc.i used to take apples to Binghampton,NY 6 nights a week,and return with empty glass bottles or boxes to Vineland,NJ after my grandad retired,farm was sold,we (my dad and i) concentrated mostly on dry freight,my dad also pulled a reefer. We made a lot of deliveries to the Philly market,and ACME when they were still on Packer ave..............................Mark

  8. My trucks is too old for the DEF/Urea B.S.,but i use fuel additive all winter,and knock wood (my head) i have never had any problems fuelwise.

  10. Ken,Clark Transfer Inc. Harrisburg,PA Clark does all the trucking for broadway shows throuout the U.S. and Canada Lighting,sets,costumes/props.sound systems etc. and occaisionally an entertainers roadshow. I started at Clark in 2001,and allthough i no longer do shows,this is what i did when i started up until about 3 years ago,only reason i'm not still touring is my tractor is "too old" but i am still leased tp them,only now i just run under their authority,and lease my trailer from them. As far as the trucking business is concerned,i never worked for a better,more professional company!..................................Mark
