Red Horse Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 They have more than 40 wreckers for 3 guys to drive. Snow/Rain trucks and Sunny day trucks. They kept most of the trucks they bought.He said a girl cCT allows $275hr for a regular heavy duty wrecker never mind a crane or rotator. He remembers that one.ut off the truck and turned herself in the next day because it contaminated the towns water supply. Sunoco rolled one getting off Exit-8 and the bill was $28K without environmental10-4 on the well. final bill on that one was big 7 figures! I think there were 7 municipal wells in that wetland. Miracle there was no fire- One bit of collateral damage- about 3 days after, clean up contractor was delivering stone with a beautiful Superliner pulling trailer dump-you guessed it-dump went over and nailed the cab-miracle driver wasn't killed.

Red Horse Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Bob- He was also telling me how one of the single drop grocery trailers loaded with motor oil lost and axle on the Cross Bronx. None of the towing companies wanted anything to do with it so him and the other guy went down and jacked the trailer up and got the axle back under it then chained the axle in so it wouldn't move. that was after about 7 or 8hrs of jacking and pushing and pulling. The 2 sister to the trailer both broke in half in North Haven by the drop. he said they use to overload themHah-not sure if I remember that one- I only was involved with the "other side" fleet from sometime in 90 to end of 93.

He does very nice drawings alsoBefore moving to New England in the 70's I believe, Al Saniuta had a shop in Kearny NJ on Devon Terrace or Tappen St. He lettered a lot of local trucks including 2 wreckers and a pickup for my uncle. He did great work. I remember watching him letter and stripe my uncle's pickup from across the street because he didnt want anyone close by while he worked. I was mesmerized by his artestry and impressed by his signature and phone number mixed in with the striping.

He used to come back down a couple of times a year to letter stuff in Bergen and Rockland county. In fact he used to letter Bob Rayots Tire service trucks. I remember the style and his name and number hidden on the trucks. I will find out the name of the woman in Cape Cod area whose work is really good.

He was a scroll striper. He moved his shop to Paterson and then moved to North Carolina. Another guy I has was in Callicoon, NY (as in town of Delaware) can't think of his name now. He did the striping and lettering of my International in those pics from Englishtown.
