Hallamore: A Truck Story Book

May 2025

Retired Truck Driver John Sobolewski Jr. has written a book about his sixteen-year adventure with the Hallamore Motor Transportation Company, the largest crane, rigging and heavy-haul company in New England. His story is about the flatbed and heavy haul division of trucking, and about the load after load of all the machinery that came out of the factories that started closing in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. 

Sobolewski’s story is also about all the factories in Stratford and Bridgeport, as he transported over 2,000 over-sized loads across the country without a chargeable accident or any speeding tickets.

This book is a must for any rigger who has had to jack a 100 ton transformer in 90 degree heat or a driver who has had to tarp a load 20 degrees below zero! It is definitely a book for fans of trucks and trucking as well as anyone interested in a behind the scenes look of an industry that has been the backbone of American commerce for decades. Chock full of historic color pictures, this book is also for anyone and everyone who loves reading a really great story!
