It tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday life while showing Ringsby System’s terminals, trucks, and agricultural machines. Official summary: “tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday.“ The Ringsby Truck Lines featured here was established by J.W. Ringsby in 1932. Over the next 30 years, Ringsby grew by acquiring other trucking companies. In 1969, Ringsby began experiencing financial problems which were compounded in the mid-1970s by a 3 year union strike. Ringsby recovered by 1981 but could not return to its former profitability and shut down for good in 1984. One bit of trivia: company founder J.W. Ringsby at one point owned the Denver Nuggets basketball team. “Trucks and Your Town” title banner (00:19). A Ringsby System livery Mack tractor trailer driving on a highway (00:26).
