New Mexico Jim,

There was or still is a series on this subject on the History channel.  I 
watched it this last Thursday.  They usually re-run the programs for a week 
or so so maybe it is still running.  The Army used trucks for the first time 
when they got after ole Poncho Villa down by the Rio Grande.

The program was sponsored by 'The American Truck Historical Society' and 
mostly talked about the BIG RIGS not real trucks like ADs.  It would have 
been more interesting if it had mentioned Chevy 1951 1/2 ton Deluxe 5 
windows but hey this isn't a perfect world.

>the hauled and what they did before trucks were invented??
