Why Veriha’s Entertainment Trucking Jobs Are a Driver’s Dream
Nov 29, 2024 · Driving for Veriha’s Entertainment Division isn’t your typical trucking job—it’s an adventure that challenges your skills, takes you to incredible places, and offers unique …

 

There are too many "comforts" today that most drivers wouldn't drive without. Back when I started you didn't have anything to compare to except drive.

A "B" model Mack with passenger bench seat was your bed. Take a blanket, pillow and if it was hot open the windows. Also no a/c, no p/s, no bunks, no inverters, no cabinets, no tv, just truck.

I moved up to an "R" model Mack with 2 seats but no bench, still no comfort features but a Maxidyne power train that was a real improvement and no 2 stick tyranny to shift.

I eventually moved into the closet thing to luxury many years later. A Western Star C/O with Cummins KT 450, 13spd. Double O/D, 4.10 differential and a bunk. Truck was a dream with p/s, a/c and air seats for it's day.

Scotty’s Restaurant always was pricey but the food was top notch and delicious. I was easy to satisfy for dinner with a simple open faced turkey or beef sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy.

Enough on my glorious career Cherokee65 just be happy, healthy and careful out there. It is a wonderful career if you have the right attitude and a good company relationship to work with.

 

It looks like an old time scale area. I used to use one at Charlie T's in Bunnell, Fl. on I 95 near St. Augustine when it was open. You would pull onto an axle scale, go inside and punch a paper ticket, move truck to the drive axles and punch the ticket then move to the trailer axles and punch again. You would leave money in cash box and I believe it was 50c per axle. And believe it or not everyone was honest back then it seemed like because you could even make change for bigger bills.

Then again it also could be an old bag ice machine.

 

Never any doubt!
