I stumbled across this collection of fleet management newsletters from the Twenties. There are some nifty images, great articles and even better ads for trucks, buses, maintenance, etc.. They even have a couple of pages of helpful hints and tricks. I am sure the local OSHA inspector would not approve, but it sure makes for some interesting reading. Enjoy!

Bruce, some names I have heard of before. I am letting Brian Olson know about this as I am sure Brain and his Dad will like to see this.

Thanks. There's hours of enjoyment there. I wonder if the use of two trucks to move long pipe originated at the time of that picture. The method is still used today; the payloads are just bigger.
