Installment 2 from John Polyak<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Here
is the second installment of the event this weekend … almost a hundred images
of the truck show on Sunday.<BR>> <BR>> John, I personally like 88
and 89. Why? Back in 1963 I took a year off from college to get
married and become a daddy. Part of my employment was working in
the dispatch office at Norwalk Truck Lines in Lancaster, some years before it
was merged into Yellow Freight (a subsidiary of Yellow Cab) and that was then
merged into Yellow Roadway Corporation. When things were light in
the office and I didn't have manifests to add up, I would sneak out into the
yard and horse around with the yard jockey, who was nice enough to let me
practice backing trailers into the dock. Yes, I learned to get
them into the dock without side swiping on on either side. And I
once had a chance to drive a rig from Reading to Sunbury and
Williamsport. So that when the state asked if I ever drove a semi,
I said yes, and they gave me a Class A license. I was not
lying. Now I would have to go to school. Oh well. Why
did I like 88 and 89? Because Norwalk had a huge fleet of those
Mack Thermodyne tractors. That is what I learned on.
<BR>> <BR>> For those who don't get it? It's a man's
thing, like crazy nuts running trolleys or buses in a museum. <BR>>
