    BTW, have you thought of doing a generic 45 footer - with just the conspicuity stripes, placards and maybe a number?

    Also you might want to consider some of the very plain REAZ, etc trailers....

    Lou,
    Harold Ives Trucking:
    The 30-year-old Ives trucking companies operated 435 trucks and 850 dry van trailers. Most of the trucks are company-owned with single drivers. Southeastern coverage certainly, not sure how far north they went.
    Bought out by Covenant for 45 Milion in 1999.
    HQ: Stuttgart, AK
    Recently seen a Covenant truck with the H. Ives logo still on the rear doors in Florida.
    I think that the logo is really neat.
    Good idea on the generic trailer. Would be ready for various decals.

    Dave, we presently use Deluxe Innovations containers for Special Runs and look forward to expanding our D.I. Special Run line.
    Steven

    Very cool! Can these be ordered through LHS's, or just on line?

    Steve, any chance of re-running the now sold-out Strick Leasing and Roadway (smaller size logo)? I missed these, and would like to get some in the future. Thanks, Al.

    Some more great schemes Steve. You just keep making our intermodal trains look better and better. I also agree with you that Ives had a great logo.

    Al,

    We have no dates set for a rerun, but due to the request for the Strick Lease and Roadway Express we are looking into the possibility of a new run with new trailer numbers. We have the Billboard ROADWAY trailers in stock. We are working on LOTS of other new schemes/items as well.

    Hopefully we will have some of the new items ready in time to exibit for the Capitol Limited show in Chantilly, VA. This will be the first public showing of our new Trucking schemes as well.
    Other new items this Fall.
    Steven
