    Nope, the old timers screwed it up way too bad...If they didn't we wouldn't be dealing with these new HOS rules and such...See an old timer and smack him in the head! ;-)

    That's possible... I once saw someone push the door real hard but didn't move out of the way. Slammed right into them!

    First off Id really like to know the perception the OP had of the way it USED to be?
    Also Walstib--and I tried hard not to reply to this--so IF you are not joking--I'd really like to hear your perception of HOW us Old timers caused all this--and not some Smokey and the Bandit BS--because anyone who has been out here for 30years plus and has paid attention--actually know how/why the HOS etc ended up on DC radar in the first place after nobody gave it a 2d thought for over(at the time 50years)...so please enlighten us-
     
    Vilhiem Thanks this.

    I think walstib was joking? The j/k at the end usually means just kidding.

    But, in the event he wasn't, I'll get the snacks and popcorn. Because I'd LOVE to hear this one.

    Anyways... I'm pretty sure the op is extremely clueless about the old days. Even as the new guy I'll admit I'm clueless, but without the hos and other regulations I can guess what it was like. And my guess?

    It wasn't even half as glamorous as it seems now...
