What era are Athearn 28' pups

What trucking company are the pups decorated for?

I've got a set of two pups in a later Consolidate Freightways scheme and a Mack and two pups in Roadway.  The Athearn pups have that tapered design that you see in newer trailers, but not in the 70s.

It's times like these I miss Hank's Truck Pictures.

It was an amazing resource, though I still don't know the backstory of its demise.

According to "The Model Railroader's Guide to Intermodal Equipment & Operations" by Jeff Wilson, he states the wedge design.came into use in the 1970's for what that's worth. The questions of length iand logos I can't answer. And those I have known who would know have sadly passed away. Wonder if another photo hosting site would have some examples?

As far as Hank's Truck Photos demise I believe it was due to people who were taking copyrighted photos and passing them off as their own on other web sites and he was tired of dealing with that. I wasn't on the forum side of it that often but the word on a couple other truck forums say it had to do with paying much of the cost out of his own pocket. Either way I miss scrolling through the LTL company photos and the memories that triggered.

Initially, copyright issues with people posting his images all over hither an yon and then ultimately, the cost and retirement, I believe.
