I can remember back in the 1940's and later when 100 or more of those "Haulaways" (auto transports) went through my hometown of Jonesville, MI every weekday on U.S. 112. (now U.S. 12 since I-94 was opened on the old U.S. 12 roadway route). Many men from our area drove haulaways for E and L, Associated Carriers, and Commercial Carriers to mention a few I remember, Most of the tractors were gas stub nosed cabover Dodges, GMC's, and Chevys and a few Fords. We had 3 or 4 usually busy truck stops in our county frequented by the drivers. (One speed trap in Allen, Mi) but the limit was just 35 there past the school, so it was not too "famous". State Police Post in Jonesville right on the highway and 3 or 4 Justices of the Peace along the route......24 hr. Service, lol....Lotsa fuel service stations in every burg and major crossroads and several wrecker/tow truck outfits too. Those trucks and drivers were a part of our economy and way of life. Our home was less than a mile and a half from the "turnpike" so we heard them over there every "quiet" evening into the night slam bangin' along on that cement slab road. Several places had cabins for rent too, no motels until about 1950 though that I remember.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
