Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 6, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2015 While I was at Macknutt's place I was looking through some of his pictures and came across this one. This is just a picture ofa picture but it turned out decent. A Carry Transit Superdog. Was probably new when this was taken. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I saw those pictures too while at Joe and Mikes truck show. Carry had some nice looking R models, bet they wish they still made trucks like that today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Is Carry transit still around. About 10 years ago I think they were some how tied into or racing in the Champ car / Indy car series under the name sigma racing? I think they had a shop down on the south west side (bridgeview) that I would often bring race cars/ parts to. I remember going there and at that time they had a bunch of CH macks used for hauling tanker or bulk tanker...I think the early truck they used to haul the cars to the tracks was a CH mack as I recall it only had two 50 gallon fuel tanks. Not good for OTR trucking... they had to stop in just about every state for fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMack Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Carry is still around and still based out of Oak Brook. I think they merged with Superior Carriers as well, or maybe have somesort of partnership. The trucks they have now just blend in with the crowd. One color, slap a sticker on the door and go.Here is a google image search of the trucks.https://www.google.com/search?q=carry+transit&rlz=1C2CHFX_enUS516US518&biw=1280&bih=827&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAkQ_AUoBGoVChMItrGTg4i0yAIVwz8aCh2FEAtt&dpr=0.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2015 I was out on the back roads by Elburn this morning and found a R-model with a bunk on it! I had never seen this truck before.Not sure who it belongs to, although I know who would know, but I have a feeling this is one of those trucks that only comesout this time of year and then hides in the barn till next fall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Could be a old Neville brothers truck repainted red too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Here are another couple pictures I borrowed from Macknutt of a Carry Transit R model.I miss those old Carry trucks,the R models they had with bunks really looked nice,I loved their colors. I'd never seen pics of a carry Superliner,the only ones I ever saw were the ones they got when they bought out ABT from Wever,IA to get their termimal and the corn syrup haul out of Hubinger in Keokuk,IA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
