Duncan Putman was born in 1952 and became interested in trucks at a very young age. Putman’s father managed various livestock (mostly cattle) farms until Duncan was ten years old, enabling him to experience trucks and to have the opportunity to ride around in the farms’ trucks as well as in visiting rigs making deliveries.
Starting in 1962, Duncan lived in various foreign countries until 1970, when he came back to the United States, received his bachelor’s degree in Radio-TV-Film production from Temple University and became an avid photographer with a focused interest in trucks.
Mark Harter will tell you that he’s been involved in the trucking industry since the day he was born in 1975. From the time he was a young child, all Mark ever wanted to be was a truck driver.
Harter’s father worked for Sears, Roebuck and Co. for two decades which involved many job transfers during the late 1970s and into the 1980s. While most kids his age would have been unhappy about pulling up their roots, Mark was always excited every time he moved because he knew a big Atlas Van Lines tractor trailer would be parked in front of his house on moving day.
