TOWN LIFE PT 29

 The busy holiday season is in full swing...

A Transport America semi leaves town after visiting the Kidco, Inc. warehouse, picking up loads for delivery to shopping malls in the Northeast.
A brand-new UPS van rolls through town. These have been steadily replacing the older package cars that have been seen since the early 80's.
A Western Distributing semi rolls into town, behind an International Lonestar. All that blue looks good!
It's still a warm fall day, as a woman rides around in her Jeep with the top off.
One of the local dairy farmers has a load of hay trucked in, for winter bedding and foraging for his cows.
An old Chevy truck, with a lift, rolls through town. Note the CB antenna on the driver's side fender and the "pipe" steps -this is an Old School pickup!
A blast from the past: a Greyhound Package Express bus leaves town after dropping off several packages at the bus station. The recipients would then be notified to come pick up their items. This is a modified ex-Trailways Eagle Model 10; note the doors at the rear of the bus in the "cargo" section. While not a major force in the delivery game, the service lasted until 2022.
