navypoppop Posted December 5, 2024 Share Posted December 5, 2024 Wasn't the name of that steel company Keystone Steel at one time? I lived not too far from there in the area. I remember the Cathcart Pontiac across from the steel company. My Dad had a truck lube business and he used to do the service on the trucks. I ran around that yard while he was working on the trucks. I can remember that area like Ewing Diner, The Atlantic Mills store, Korvettes Dept. Store and Colonial Cadillac. Thanks for jogging my memory.

RRJ Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Long ago I had a brief experience in a yard where at the end of the day drivers routinely fueled up then stood near the truck for 31 minutes holding a rag and collected time-and-a-half overtime.
