Well it does not look like a fire truck. Could be wrong.
An International LoneStar semi truck, huh?
Could it be a truck service center?
Nice clue. I think it looks like it is going to be a Ride semi trailer truck...Paul 2
Darn spell check should of read Tide
Truck stop logo
TIDE tractor trailer
Schneider tractor?
I'm going with the Tide truck as it's painted the same orange as the Tide boxcar.
At least it doesn't look like a modern truck 
A Tide tank truck
A truck carrying an offer to buy out mth?
Something to do with Tide building and upcoming Tide boxcar.
Fueling tanker truck for Union 76!
Creamsicle factory ?
One of a fleet of trucks used to transfer all the MTH stuff to the Menards warehouse! LOL
The Dixie Boy Truck Stop
Schneider truck, Green Bay Wi. origin
Two Semi Tractors on a Flat would be great. Been awhile
It's a Fruehauf factory.
No, wait ... a truck stop.
What, me worry?

Except for the head lights.
Looks like a modern International Lonestar truck https://www.internationaltrucks.com/trucks/lonestar
With a Schneider trailer to go with Schneider freight building?

Hey, I guessed right! 
So did I. Inside that trailer is MTH stuff! LOL What scale is that rig Mark? 1/43, 1/48,1/50?
Very nice! Good job, Menards!
Good looking combo. Should be a good seller. Hopefully there will be more variety in the tractor & trailers.
Smart colors. Then again, I'm a Flyers fan, so perhaps a little biased...
Why the step back with the lower end flat cars?

I am guessing that their customer base order significantly more of the lower priced rolling stock, Menards wants to satisfy that customer base.

1) This is keeping a wonderful release budget friendly
2) We all can upgrade https://ogrforum.com/...ve-a-menards-flatcar
Great duo! Will look wonderful on anyone's layout! I know it will look good on mine with the BNSF flatcar!
Bro, if that truck and trailer are1/48 or 1/43 I'll take them off the freight cars and back them up to the loading dock! Or maybe a nice matching box truck! You can never have too many box trucks! LOL

Bro, If you get them and don't like them just let me know! LOL
Absolutely Bro! It's a deal!
How about one in ho scale, if so I'm in for a few.

That trailer looks more like a European design with the three single wheels on each side. If those flatcars are the O-27 size than the truck appears to be less than 1/48. A properly sized semi should be 2" (8') wide; some newer trailer are 8' 6" wide.
The traditional flat car is about 1/64th scale.
The corrugated container on chassis might be a European scale, like OO.
