Whatever happened to P.I.E. ??

I saw footage from a 50's documentary the other day that showed a P.I.E. truck driving across a Nevada Interstate.

I used to see those trucks everywhere. Whatever happened to that company?

Yeah, I never knew that Ryder bought them. I remember seeing their trucks when I was a kid.

I'll see one of their trailers every now and then. Ones that have been relegated to storage. Paint is usually pretty faded but you can still reconize it.
