Chuck P Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 OK, lets get this train back on the tracks. Hmieleski was in South Plainfield NJ and folded in the early 90's. They ran a lot of 359s and later 759s. 2 Quote "If it's all the sime to you... I'll droyve that tankah" Max Rockatansky (The Road Warrior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran a lot of 359s and later 759s. There's another now defunct ltl from the tri-state area. A lot of regional freighthaulers serviced that area back then.

Chuck P Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Chuck,thanks so much for posting this picture! i remember them well! The funny part is that outfit was right under my nose the whole time and I never knew it. The Penske (South Plainfield) shop was directly across the street from them but by the time I hired on with them (Fall 94) they had ceased operations. C-F and Central Transport were adjacent.

fifth wheel Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Are they the same as New York controls?Yes, They provided another job for someone. They operate the pump and hoist.This is my B61SX, when new was one of ten trucks that worked 3-4 years on a Highway project in NY or NJ. Then to a local sand and gravel co. We have owned it since 1982. I am told on the highway job a person other than the driver would open the tailgate and operate the body.I have set up my trucks with "out side controls" as not to mess up the interiors.FW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
