I would be happy to give my two cents if asked.

 

Might be a tad overpriced.

 

If I was still driving I would but I' retired now. It's had it's good and bad day's.forty year's and 4 million miles is enough don't you thank so.

 

Ah come on give the kid another tour around thee ole block, possibly in a ole White Freightliner cab over with a big 250 cumalong in it, oh yea if you do dont forget to turn your flashers on when going up hill.

 

Danny, mi amigo, I think you can HONESTLY say,
you HAVE gone the extra mile.

Thank you, sir, for your dedication.
Forty-four years is nothin' to sneeze at.
I wish you well.

And I think YOU oughta give Socy Grad a call.

 

I take my hat off to you danny. I can only imagine where you have been and what you have seen. The changes you have seen in the industry over the yrs.
I used to listen to my grandfather and his friends tell stories from long times past. it was fascinating to hear the things they could tell you about from years gone by.
Enjoy your retirement, U HAVE EARNED IT!

nice huh found picture on the web

 

Waaayyyy cool, Danny!
Just think, when that crackerbox was new,
the web didn't even exist.

One of the grocery chains here in California has a Show Team,
who keep their Big trucks spit polished and make appearances at
Big truck truck shows and other events.
One of the drivers has a crackerbox he's been driving since it was new,
and he refuses to give it up.
Still drives it everyday, and it looks BETTER than when it was new.
It sure turns heads.

BTW, there's a waiting list to get on that Show Team, and most of
the drivers on the team have over 20 years seniority.

Thanx for the memories.

 

Hell man a lot of these drivers didn't even exist.
Here's a 1961
