Fast Freight: 1943
March 1943. "Baltimore, Maryland. Davidson Transfer Company trucking terminal. Lubricating a truck tractor." Acetate negative by John Vachon, Office of War Information. View full size.
Davidson Moving
I remember them well. They moved my family from Baltimore to Denver in 1967.
Greasers
From the looks of those treads and that floor, you might wanna take it out for a drive on a dusty road first.
Jugheadgear
My uncle called his a "greasecap." For obvious reasons.
The Jughead / Goober cap
Must have been at peak popularity.
Jughead hat
The hat with the buttons immediately made me think of the Archie Comics character Jughead. Then I saw the guy on the right has a Jughead-ish crown, too.
A little internet sleuthing taught me that the Whoopee cap "was often made from a man's felt fedora hat with the brim trimmed with a scalloped cut and turned up. In the 1920s and 1930s, such caps usually indicated the wearer was a mechanic."
Reminds Me of Big Joe's Trailer Truck
One of my son's favorites.

Where To Put The Oil
I am guessing this is a diagram of all the places to grease and oil?
