Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

When the upper car is off the tracks tilt out to the sides so the other cars can drive off/on, the truck driver has to lift ramps to get the car over the cab and drive off / on the trailer rear .

Now you know the rest of the story .

The Ford auto transporter was the next gen . The driver put ramps out for the lower / upper decks and just drove on/off , much quicker and easier on the driver plus could cary more cars per load.
