I think it's sad all of the old timers falling off the scene. We must keep these old trucks running in there honor. I've been driving for 22 years, started when I was 21. I would have loved to have been driving back in the 50's to 80's. Drivers were respected then, and they were real men.
Any Autocar owners??

That’s a beauty, and the engine, amazing find. Makes me miss my 92 star. Almost bought the blue one last summer, but came to my senses. Solid Truck, fresh Cat, $ 14 k. Very tempting.

His route involved one farm where its necessary to blindside the tanker into about a 12 foot by 12 foot pad and then rotate around until tanker is facing the other way. The problem with that is the tanker tandems had to spin in place, there was a ravine of about 300 to 400 foot drop below it. So if you screwed it up over you go. At the age I was then I was not man enough to deal with that ravine it wasnt for me. Rock crawling too.
I understand the milk industry has gone to long haul mega milking outfits today. But thats one of the reasons why we enjoyed our time with the routes we had in our day. The kids at school in Baltimore will get their milk next day out of the Cloverland soon enough.SmallPackage and Rideandrepair Thank this.
