I agree in terms of childishness 'BUT considering a calendar picture is good company (free) advertising. the "back stab" came mainly due to Hi-Ho being a same state competitor .possibly a fleet cross country picture wouldn't have been as bad. for the day when a company buys 20 plus trucks it was no small deal. both O&G /Hi-Ho purchased a large fleet. not just a basic tractor but dumps. being involved with first DM delivery order (#356==376) , I definitely would liked to see all Mack fleet. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/95/#findComment-573740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

O&G also bought Rawson ! funny story from years back, O&G were on the prowl buying every concrete co around, one of the son's went to buy a small local concrete co only to find out his brother had already bought it . keeping with rules and regs. many of the companies they bought were "on paper buys" most kept original co name on units. others just closed. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/95/#findComment-573741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Sand now runs trains from the Ossipee Region of NH. Huge pit a mile from my house is now a huge solar field..nice one as it is completly out of view. Trucks are running Rt 2 all the time now to pits on northern border. In my "youth" Rice had the pits all along Washington Ave from the center of North Haven to the P & W plant. Pretty soon the environmental loons on the Cape if they don't change their "Beach Nourishment" bullshit will have trailer dumps running off cape to get sand. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/95/#findComment-573760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
