Rollin-On

Rollin'-On

Rollin'-On in the Pickup
Larry previously published Rollin' On, a monthly newsletter for the transportation industry for several years, starting in January 1995.  Larry obtained the trademark and domain name for Rollin' On in 1996.  It was the first monthly publication of its kind by a transportation attorney in the Northwest and beyond. 
 
Originally, Rollin' On was sent by fax.  Over time, the email revolution caught on, and eventually Rollin' On transitioned full time to email.  Larry published Rollin' On consistently for several years, covering various transportation topics, and at times a few other tidbits of general interest. 
 
Over time, with the press of other work, Larry was not able to sustain the monthly publication of Rollin' On, and eventually discontinued publication in 2013.
 
But hear ye now, Rollin' On has been resurrected, not in its original form, much like VHS tapes are no longer made, but now as a blog, which is located on a separate location on this website. 
 
Prior issues of Rollin' On can be downloaded from this site.  Each edition is in a pdf format.  If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, just click here. 

As for the picture above, I bought this 1954 International pickup when I was in law school a long time ago.  I had the motor rebuilt a few years ago, and got a good paint job.  It runs well, and is great for weekend errands.
