other dog Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 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. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
