1948. Air Cargo Inc introduces a new type of truck for their fleet in Los Angeles

 

Rapid expanding freight volume handled by the domestic airlines has been accompanied by a similar growth in the carriers' fleet of pickup and delivery trucks. This trailer truck, first of its size to wear the Air Cargo, Inc., insignia, has been added to the pickup and delivery fleet operated in Los Angeles by one of the many trucking companies affiliated with the certificated airlines ground service organization. During the first half of 1948, the 16 domestic trunklines flew about 30,000,000 freight ton miles, up almost 150 percent over the same period last year.
