I believe this was an O/O's KW that was leased to Schultz Transit, Inc. It was parked across the street from the W. Springfield Thermo King garage which was on the edge of Transcon's terminal lot as that's a Transcon trailer next to the KW in fall 1974.

Not the best of angles on this T.G. Stegall Trucking, Inc. "Cornbinder" from Charlotte, NC but I got the part that was in the sunlight at the Pioneer Valley Refrigerated Warehouse in Springfield during fall 1974.
H.L. Stansell, Inc. from Palm Harbor, FL was another long time East Coast reefer fleet that in it's later years had the words "Trucking For Jesus" near the company logo on it's trailers. I haven't seen them in a number of years now so perhaps they shutdown. I found this KW in summer 1974 at the Springfield farmer's market.

I guess his reefer unit was being worked on inside?	Not sure what the lettering reads on this White Freightliner. Looks like something Valley Carriers. It was across the street from the Springfield framer's market in late fall 1974.
Robin Hood Transport from Benson, NC in early 1975 at the Springfield farmer's market. There was a 76 Auto Truck Stop on I-95 in Benson, NC also named The Robin Hood so perhaps there was some kind of joint ownership between the two or maybe it was just coincidental.

Leased to Spector Freight System's steel division getting ready to unload in Westfield during summer 1974.
	Looks like a load of scrap metal for a load on this "uncovered wagon" that the owner of this KW is hauling while leased to Spring City, PA based Jones Motor Company. This was by the Exit 3 entrance to the Mass Pike on N.B. U.S. 202 in Westfield in early 1975.

A no frills but no doubt hard working KWCOE leased on with Ligon Specialized Hauler from Madisonville, KY at the ARCO fuel stop across U.S. 5 from the Marquis Texaco in late fall 1974.	Cannot make out the cab lettering as it seems to be lost in the sun's glare on this GMC Astro that was parked across the street from the entrance to Exit 3 of the Mass Pike in summer 1974. That's the Hojo's in the background across U.S. 202.
A plaine whte "Cornbinder" waiting it's turn to unload at the Pioneer Valley Refrigerated Warehouse in Springfield. Late fall 1974 was the time frame on this shot.
