    When I was a kid I remember seeing G.O.D.trucks on the highway. I haven't seen them in years. So I was having a conversation with a New Penn driver on my lunch break about G.O.D. and he said they went out of business but he didn't know when or whatever happened to their pup trailers and rigs. Does anyone know when they went out of business?

    That's odd. It must be a secondhand one

    I think they went out in mid - late 90's still see their trailers around up in Jersey.

    Guaranteed Overnight Delivery went out of business in 95 or 96 I believe. I used to live in New Jersey and always laughed at their phone number 1-800- call God

    It was after 2001 for sure as I used to go by one of their terminals all the time, maybe Port Newark?
