A man on a motor scooter rides up County Lane. Even though it's warm out, he still wears a jacket; the rushing wind of being on a scooter at 35mph can chill you out real quick!
What will also chill you is being passed by a semi going in the opposite direction! A JB Hunt rig rolls by with a well-used container. While JB Hunt keeps most of its equipment in good shape, some of their containers can get pretty grimy and rusty over time. (I weathered this container based on a actual one I saw and photographed.)
A much cleaner container is this MOL 40' box. This is the new scheme, replacing the old silver container with the crocodile logo. In 2018, MOL merged with NYK and K-Line to form ONE (Ocean Network Express), with pink containers! They also have grey containers with pink lettering. However, given the number of containers already in use by the three companies, the old paint schemes will be around for years to come. Note the tractor is a Freightliner Cascadia day cab with rear wheel covers to improve aerodynamics (and save fuel).
Another Freightliner Cascadia, this one with a high-roof sleeper, works for Transport America. Like other trucks, it is headed for the warehouses to drop off merchandise for the internet retailer.
Hillsdale's newest vehicle is this Mack LR side-loader refuse truck. It replaces the old rear-loading truck the city used for many years. In addition to being easier to load -the truck loads itself- it is also more efficient; note that only one man is needed, not two! Note also that instead of an articulating arm, this truck uses a vertical track -ideal for tight alleyways.
