No not dump trucks,we had a small truck farm in south Jersey,mainly apples/peaches we hauled bulk apples to several plants that made vinegar, applesauce etc.i used to take apples to Binghampton,NY 6 nights a week,and return with empty glass bottles or boxes to Vineland,NJ after my grandad retired,farm was sold,we (my dad and i) concentrated mostly on dry freight,my dad also pulled a reefer. We made a lot of deliveries to the Philly market,and ACME when they were still on Packer ave..............................Mark
