j hancock Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think they made it into 1989 or 90. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 sure was nice when trucks actually had style and color and weren't just red , blue or white fleet trucks 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33901-holmes-transportation-sidewinder-heaven/#findComment-221755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes, I remember Holmes; they were big in New Hampshire. I believe that they had a terminal in Manchester (or Londonderry). In NH they also ran "MB" and, later, "MC" model straight trucks. That's a name from the past along with Yale, Jones, St Johnsbury, Carolina, etc. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33901-holmes-transportation-sidewinder-heaven/#findComment-221757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I should have been born 20-30 years earlier.

Green Dash Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'll bet their shops were never slow with 10,000 mile PM's! It's hard to see in these pics but the roof fairings on U models were mounted to be centered on the trailer which made the offset cab that much more obvious.Thanks for posting these old articles from Bulldog, Al. They make for some fun reading.

Mike Blais Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Holmes had a terminal in Bellows Falls, Vt. a half mile from the St. Johnsbury terminal. Growing up in a machine tool town there was lots of freight being shipped in and out. A great time for a truck loving kid.
