Paul Expand That’s how my uncle and his brothers got started in trucking when my grandfather came over here around 1900 he started the trucking business with a team of horses delivering bananas around Massachusetts the closest I came to anything like that was around 1968. I was talking to an old timer that knew my dad and he said he remembered my grandfather delivering bananas. to his house when he was a kid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75221-a-new-chapter-in-the-life-of-the-duck/page/4/#findComment-574188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to look back with "rose colored" glasses and only remember the good things. Trucks from the 80's can still be used today, but as far as inflation and interest rates, no thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75221-a-new-chapter-in-the-life-of-the-duck/page/4/#findComment-574281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
