Penn Yan Express trucking operated in Penn Yan from 1941 to 1983. They serviced most of New York State & NYC, most of New Jersey, and eventually to include Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, part of Virginia, and Ontario. Robert Hinson started driving and repairing trucks and farm machinery at a young age while working for his father, Jesse Hinson, at his John Deere dealer- ship in Lakemont. After his father’s death in July of 1941, at the age of eighteen, he started driving for Boyce Motor Lines of Canandaigua, in the later part of 1941. In an interview Hinson once stated, “The minute I got my driver’s license, I took off for Baltimore driving a tractor-trailer rig. Not only had I never driven a truck. I didn’t even know where Baltimore was. Someone handed me a map and said get going.” Hinson drove for Boyce until January 5, 1943 at which time he entered the US Army Quartermaster Corp. He received his basic training at Camp Young in California, which was established in 1942 by General George S. Patton for desert training to prepare troops to fight the Nazis in North Africa. In August he was transferred to the 1318th Service Unit at Camp Pickett, Virginia, and on November 2, 1943 was honorably discharged at the rank of Private 1st Class after receiving injuries in a jeep accident. After returning home to Lakemont, Robert Hinson resumed his truck driving activities for Boyce Motor Lines again on November 22, 1943. In 1944 he started Hinson Trucking Company in the garage that his father had his farm dealership, with a Ford straight truck that he had built from spare parts and pieces. By October 1945, he sold this truck and purchased his first new tractor, a White for $4300. #trucker #rollingcoal #dieselnation #iceroadtruckers #trucks #truckdriver #truckers #truckingindustry #truckdrivers#dieselpower #cdldriver #dieselporn #truckstop #truckerslife #trucking #diesellife #trucklife #bigrig #truckersview #roadhog #cdlhunter #cdllife #cdljob #cdljobs Follow @cdlhunter Call or text us at (347) 878-2591 for a driving job (at Penn Yan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeOGns3OKyo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI= -- source link
