Back in the day . . .

What is a trainer never heard of the DOT it was the ICC back then waffle platers johnson (CB ) radios23 channel Canister oil and fuel filters the big luberfiner filter snap rings coming off in the new 13 speeds pinion nuts would back off on the SQHD rears air assist steering V12 detroits V8 Cats were monsters 903's what can I say sleeping across the dog box (Whats a Dog Box) the original Fuzzbuster going to the ice house almost every thing was loaded on the floor.

i rember free coffe at the pilot and my dad log book has stamps and his front plates had stamps too , didnt know whats thats about ether my tractor when i worked for crst had a red organ plate, made me take it off at the utah scales.

 

We shoul start a remember when thread on here or did we just do that?

 

I think you meant his permit book had stamps. that was a bingo card. The plate with the stamps was the waffle plate and I think you meant they made him take an Oregon plate off

 

I rember the first time i jump in a century freightshaker,year 2006, i said wow, like a kid in a candy store, this was quite a upgrade from all the junk i drove, power mirrors , power everything, played with air seat going up and down for awhile, i think i spent a extra hour in there just playing with all the buttons and stuff, this dang truck could almost drive itself i said to myself, it was nice truck, and going down the road was so quite, compared too my others with the wind blowing thru the door seals, now anyboby rember wy paper stickers you put in the windsheild as you stop and showed your logbook.

 

Anyone remember stopping at Breezwood travel plaza on the PA turnpike and trading toll tickets?

 

So "I ain got no pannies on " did exist back then. Rofl

One thing I haven't seen was the lot lizard situation. Grrrrrrrrrr

 

people traded toll tickets at quite a few of the service plazas

 

and I don't recall any of the stupid stuff being said I think the don't worry about it might have been the beginning of the professionals we have today. By professionals I mean the ones that run behind you while you are backing into a parking spot and act like woman were just invented and the guys that can not say three words without swearing seven times The shorts and tennis shoe crowd the earring and tatoo bunch the hat on backwards or sideways group the ones that run around truckstop parking lots like they are driving a sport car on a race track. What did I miss?Oh the so called Trainers with six weeks of experience that break every thing they touch. Forgive me but it has to be said

 

No nobody acted stupid like that most guys talked normal and treated each other as friends
