WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE THE YEAR WE BEGAN FUN FACTS ABOUT 1981 A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE HAULED OVER THE YEARS OUR HISTORY REMEMBERING HAROLD - UNIT #101 Trailer Transit’s first unit number was 101. It was assigned to a fellow named Harold Reinbold. Wonder what he’s doing now? Well, though the original unit has been retired, Harold signed on a new truck and is running at TTI unit #306. Harold began his transportation career hauling house trailers around 1967, a specialty which he says owns its own breed of problems. From house trailers Harold went to hauling travel trailers and conversion vans on flatbeds, three at a time, then came to Trailer Transit. Harold never tires of driving. Oh, sure, there are times when he would like to be home when he isn’t, but Harold likes to drive. He especially enjoys the changing scenery and seasons. Harold has seen most of the East and a lot of the West, but his favorite stretch of highway is Route 8 through Wisconsin when the fall colors are in full swing. One week every deer season, Harold and some of his buddies go hunting. Now, we’re talking about a tent here, group. None of this stay-in-a-hotel-because-it’s-cold-stuff. Harold likes being outdoors, surrounded by nature, and says he enjoys the camping and camaraderie more than the hunting. We asked Harold for his views and advice on the owner/operator situation. He thinks there are several criterion for success: Be willing to be away from home if the situation calls for it. Keep your equipment in good working order. “Trucks are animals that can break up” and down-time can be more expensive than repairs. Take the good with the bad – look at the picture as a whole, not bits and pieces. Recognize that, “it’s a job…not a party or a picnic. You have to work at it to make any money. Run your truck as a business”. Thanks Harold – it was a pleasure having you aboard!
