Many men who were Highland Township residents drove for Middle Atlantic back in the 40’s and 50’s. The building they used is now being renovated and is a store for used goods such as jewelry and furniture. James Burley died of a heart attack in 1947 while on the road for Middle Atlantic. My father Phil Stephens drove for a few years back then as well. He cut his garage in half to enlarge it to house his cab.
