    I think I was just out of high school when that video was made.
    Maybe I was still in high school, judging from the cars on the road.

    I graduated in 1974.


    Everyone loves and longs for 'the good old days', don't they?

    And there are still some out here.
    We are not 'all' jerks. Even some of us newer drivers.

    Bingo stamps show 1979, I’m glad those are gone, and 5 License plates, Lol. Same Freightliner Cab used into the 90s. The 90s, even that sounds a lifetime away.Sure don’t miss the 55 mph speed limit.

    I remember seeing trucks with multiple license plates. I always thought that was cool.

    I did get a good laugh at 1.25 in the video when the guy got passed by a VW Bus in the hammer lane. Won't see that today! Lol

    I’m still trying to explain to some of our new drivers that we actually were able to go cross country without a GPS or a cellphone.
