Volvo tanker trucks owned by Gulf Oil Company are nothing short of epic. Here is a restored classic themed out with Gulf’s iconic blue and orange color scheme. The orange and blue are a bit updated (not as harsh as the original scheme) , but still hint at nostalgia. In the 40s and 50s, residents were very familiar with these trucks. Why? Well, today these trucks refuel gas stations. Back then, they pulled double duty. They were responsible for both filling gas station tanks and making sure consumers got heating oil for their homes in the winter. In fact, if you live up north this is still quite a common experience, though most of the heating oil is now purchased through co-ops rather then major American corporations. To give perspective, Gulf was considered to be one of the largest American corporation by 1975. In fact, there were number 10 on the Forbes 500 list. #volvo #gulftanktruck #tanker #gulfoiltanker #volvotruck #volvotrucks #gulfoil #gulftanker #trucks #truckdrivers #trucklovers #diesel #trucknation #truckinglifestyle #truckdriverlife #cdljob #cdljobs #cdlhunter Follow @cdlhunter https://www.instagram.com/p/CXQxIQJraFu/?utm_medium=tumblr
