TOWN LIFE PT12; TRUCKS!

A steady parade of trucks pass through Hillsdale each day. Here's a look at some of them...

A semi rolls into town with a load of mulch for the local feed and supply store.

Another semi, this one with a load of structural steel from Wilson Steel Works. This load is actually headed to West Virginia; the driver is a local and is stopping by his house on the way there. Since he lives just outside the town limits, he actually has enough room to park his rig in front of his house!

A customized reefer semi rolls down County Lane. There's a dairy plant on the south side of the city, and a number of refrigerated semis pass through town on the way there -and many are "dolled-up" like this one! And yes, once upon a time, the plant was served by a milk train; rail operations ended in the 60's.

Another semi, this one a moving van. That's the new resident in the car behind it.

This time, one leaving town. There are still a few warehouses left in the area, serving distributors, so container traffic is also frequent -especially Chinese-owned containers. This one, however, is American-owned.
