Facebook friend & trucker Ken Conway turned me onto these YouTube videos of an old 1958 TV series called Cannonball! I don't remember this at all, being born in 1952. There are two complete episodes if you are interested. Really takes you back in time!
Thanks Ken!

DeleteGm canada loaned the truck for cannonball It was red. The trailer was loaned by fruehauf canada. It was shot at kingsway transport terminal in toronto. One diner that was used in the series is still in operation in mono mills ontario canada on hihway 9 near airport rd. There was also a cab donated for indoor studio shots. Another yard they used was provincial transport yard in mississauga ontario canada on middlegate rd. I worked at kingsway transport terminal and the old guys told me william campbell had a hard time backing the truck in the docks at first. thanx
