    I have the privacy curtains in the front of my truck, and just pull the left one half way across my door window. Works like a charm.

    You could get one of those things the basketball players wear to cover up their gang tattoos and tattoos of women being raped and stuff.

    Youngsters have no idea what you're talking about. Years ago, I knew an old teamster rock hauler, his name was Earl Dunn. He was the father of a good trucking friend of mine and was retired, but we loved to hear his stories. One day, I noticed his thumbs were all bent up and disfigured, I said, "hey Earl, what happened to your thumbs?" He said, "back in my day, we had no power steering, and if you hit a rock or a rut off road, it would yank the wheel out of your hands, and if your thumb was in the way of the spokes, it usually broke it". ,,,kids today have no idea,,:biggrin_25512:

    im aware I’ve driven trucks without power steering, and twin sticks (which is what I was referring to) all be it if I had to start my career over, it would be nice if I could learn it without all the old “junk” I’ve had to deal with
