Where have all the Old Timers gone?

Late 2014 is when I started driving. I remember a few of the older guys where I worked saying it really went to hell in the last 5-7 years. 07-08 my dad hung the keys up for a few years. Didn't buy a truck again til 2016ish sometime around there

 

We are all at the restaurant counter, ogling the waitress and talkin bout how fast them trucks will go.

 

1976…. The whole industry has been run into the ground . It’s embarrassing. I still have a truck and active numbers but haven’t done a load in almost 4 years . Mainly because of wife’s health .


Guys used to drive because they wanted to or grew up around it . Now it’s because there’s no other blue collar job in their crappy town……

it’s called the Cascadia effect.

 

Still trying to figure out the smart phone thing......

 

Never did anything else ……it’s not a second or fifth profession for some of us …..

 

You and me both.

 

Remembering payphones and the frequent "colds" sometimes makes it easier to accept smartphones.

 

Most of my "Old timer" friends are up at Pantyhose Junction in the sky.
