Lanita Trucking

Ok here is another great fleet of trucks owned by my friend Larry and Scott Diller. They run LTL loads on there flats and stepdecks, out of Myerstown, PA. The Diller's are great people and have a bunch of top notch equipment. They only have 7 or 8 fleet trucks and some leased on O/O... there is only 3 stipulations working for Lanita, you must like Red, KW's and pulling flatbeds...

Scott and Larry both like to build show trucks, they built this truck in 06 and named it Tequila Sunrise... sad to say they sold the truck in 08 to a guy in MD... But be on the lookout for Red Dawn, there newest KW 900 A model, not quite done yet but it's going to be a show stopper for sure...

pics 1-2 Tequila Sunrise..
pics 3-5 the beginings of Red Dawn...

While on my way to St Louis I stopped in Salt Lake and spotted an interesting looking truck. When I got closer I realized that it was an old autocar. It was sitting in a motel parking lot with no driver around so I just snapped a couple pics (and drooled a little bit) before going to get some lunch, it was gone by the time I came back.

Yeah its out of that genaral area, Geno lives in Cornwall NY. He bought another truck and this one sits most of the time, fuel mileage isnt that good in it...
