  • A Trucker’s Tale – Cold Cranking

    I remember winter as always being a very challenging season regarding the tractors and trailers. In later years, Obie began installing engine block heaters on the trucks, but before the heaters, it was quite a different story, and winter sure as hell was not a fun time of the year.

    Author’s Note: When I needed a background picture of a Mack B61 for the back cover of my book, I contacted Butch Moxley of Moxley Truck Equipment, Street, Maryland, who was more than happy to let me use his B61. In business for over 60 years, the Moxley’s have restored many vintage trucks, and I am proud to include photographs of some of these trucks along with my monthly articles. Photo: Les Taylo.
