I am in no way OLD SCHOOL, but 19 years running these big boys, I do enjoy asking relatively "New" drivers these questions:
1. Name 5 big companies today that ran nothing but cab-overs.
*bonus - Name the company with cab-overs that were green and yellow trim
2. Who were the BIG DOGS on the road who are now 62 - 65mph trucks?
3. Who had the skunk holding a flag as a logo? (I ran for them for 6 years, great people before they sold out)
*Bonus - the skunk had a different flag in the beginning - what was it?
*double bonus - Why was the skunk chosen as the logo?
Ok granted these questions center on the late 80's - early '90's. Just a little jog the memory quiz.
