Good eye! the Mack was bought as a glider kit,and was kitted with a 1960's GMC 9500 series tractor,hense the GMC bumper, and green leaker / running gear,it was an old Lane transportation truck that had been wrecked....................................Mark

I see that Abbonizio Superliner every now and again on 95. About 4 years ago I pushed snow with the guy that was running it for him. Don't know if he still is.

Used to live about 14 miles from Abbonizio's yard,they still have a couple R's and RD's that i know of,used to be a B-81 tractor sitting in their yard in Deptford,but i don't know if its still there or not.................................................Mark

I remember APA well. When I used to run to Boston all the time there was a trucking company we'd see on the Cross Bronx Expressway all the time- New Penn? North Penn? They had red R models, and seems to me a bunch of U models. We'd be kinda easing along, hoping we didn't lose a load of steel in the road because it was so rough, and they'd get in the left lane and just hammer down across there! I started running 81 and 84 long before they told us to run that way to save on tolls because the Cross Bronx was so rough and traffic was terrible 24 hours a day around N.Y. and Ct.

We used to haul junk cars around that time too. We didn't have cages, wire, sides, or any of that, we just hauled them from up north to Shredded Products in Montvale, Va.on regular flatbed trailers. You could walk around the trailer 15 times after you got loaded and pull off any loose parts you could find, and there'd still be stuff flying off the first few miles. We stopped hauling junk cars after a brake drum came off a load and landed on the hood of a four-wheeler.

We have 3 drivers that came to Pitt Ohio after falling victim to the "St Valentines Day Massacre". One of them still gets red in the face when talking about it. He said APA stood for Always Please Arthur.
