    WSM-AM 650 is also a "Clear Channel" broadcaster, not to be confused with the corporation Clear Channel, Inc. They broadcast at FCC maximum allowable power (50,000 watts) and no other broadcasters are able to use that frequency, except low power and very far away.

    (To this day I never regret doing that and there's many days I wish it was still like that)

    Similar, but company driving. Single, 19 years old, didn't care where I went or how long it took, or take a month to run a circle.
    Male and female at the stops were friendly and helpful. Lots of waitresses would guess where you were from by asking you to say something casual to them.
    I alway lied and said OK, and they would say "I knew it, I just love that talk" so we could make some progress. Missed some things I wanted, but as said, got needs cared for. All the fun and independence been long gone from trucking; a lot like work release, not that I have any experience in that field.

    Umm, I bought that boom box on the right
    First time I saw it. I love it.
    I get all my high school memories, with Bluetooth.
    Can't beat that.

    Sits right next to me in the truck.
    That's a small one, if they ever make one those 50 lbs,
    500 watt boom boxes we used to carry around with Bluetooth,
    I'd be all over that.

    When I take it home,everybody that sees it,
    Wants it. They're throwbacks to the good ole days.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    That's exactly how I felt & still do
    When I started things were altogether different..
    I guess I stood out because I had long blonde hair down to the middle of my back wore shorts and tennis shoes and a wife beater tee shirt most the time ( weather permitting) & cowboy hat I never really looked the part of a bull hauler so that alway was good for a conversion starter...
    I miss those days.. I'll stay out 8 to 10 weeks at a time now during the busy seasons .. but it's altogether different now
     
    Rideandrepair and Speedy356 Thank this.
