After WWII Americans were anxious to re-stoke the economy after
a long "make-do with what you have" dry spell. By the 1950s new
highways were being built, new trucking companies were being formed
and old ones revived. Americans were buying newly-styled cars and
the latest technologies once again. Semi-trucks helped pave the way
for this huge growth spurt in America with dependable trucks built
by Mack, GMC, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, International, White
Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Diamond T, Reo, Autocar,
Brockway, Sterling and others, many using the increasingly popular
diesel engines made by Buda, Hercules, Waukesha, and Cummins, which
helped their heavy loads haul quicker. Ron Adams portrays this
booming era with over 300 superb photos of trucks hauling cement,
fuel, and a variety of goods to enthusiastic Americans.
