Boom! What’s going on everyone

Little Audrey’s Transportation was started in the late 1940s. It was after the war and Refrigerated van trailers were just coming into their own and Little Audrey’s was one of the first to jump and focus on Refrigerated Freight.
This was a huge turning point in freight. Cold freight was no longer limited to distance between ice houses where the trailers would be iced down. And as you know with ice and warm temperatures it melts. Now in the winter with below freezing this wasn’t a problem, but the rest of the year it was a big big problem for moving cold loads and pretty much just forget moving frozen loads.
The founders at Little Audrey’s saw this as the future of trucking and incorporated their company in New Mexico but headquartered it in a tiny hole in the wall office in Fremont Nebraska. That little office only had a couple of dispatchers and office staff needed for sales and paperwork. Their office was just a converted 2 bedroom house on a big lot that was paved so trucks could pull in and park. I’ll bet the neighbors just loved that.
The legend goes, Little Audrey’s was named after one of the founder’s wives’ name. Probably some truth in that as not many trucking companies were named after women back in those days. There were a few, but not many.
Little Audrey’s started with 3 trucks and quickly grew as the refrigerated market exploded and at their peak, they ran about 60 trucks between company trucks and owner operators. Their company was a well respected player even after it was bought in 1959 by Midwest Emery who had a less than stellar reputation.
Little Audrey’s managed to survive the deregulation of the trucking industry but ultimately succumbed to the economic times of the 1980s.
To go with these pioneers of the highway, I’ve got the complete DCP by First Gear Fallen Flags Series of trucks. You can grab your very own copy at the link in the description below.
Now for the review of First Gears Little Audrey’s Fallen Flag Peterbilt 351….
Here we go, guys. This is the First Gear Pete 351 with double bunk sleeper on it and 40 foot vintage reefer trailer for Little Audrey's Transportation. It is item number 60-0493. And it's the Fallen Flag series.
Now, these here are all First Gear toolings and they come in the First Gear box, which is a window box with an actual window in it. And then the truck is mounted in a two piece blister which can sometimes be hard to pull out. Inside, it's got a gray mural piece. And then you can see the fancy First Gear packaging. This was the way First Gear used to package all of their 1:64th scale trucks.
