Yes,things change,,But we DO NOT have to adapt UNLESS it's for the better..And no, we aren't just going to "Give in" and Leave. Real Truckers still in the game, Do things the Right way- irregardless of what changes are forthset.
The Industry Needs us to help with the Young and Novice......
Customers Need us to Feel relaxed and Confident about their freight...
The Motoring Public needs us to feel calm and relaxed sharing the road together.
What NEEDS to go are organizations and people with no care or knowledge of what we do, But are not intimidated one Iota to Sign in a new Law-Or make Changes to What was Working Fine in the first place.

I’ve been driving truck since 1980 and I tell people all the time in 20 years these this will be the good all days!
It was fun ,it is fun ,and it will be fun ,it’s all in what you make it but I do miss the days when I hadn’t seen my logbook for about a week or so !!! LolD.Tibbitt and frito bandito Thank this. -

I'm old, been at it a long time, but I never fit into the stereotype. Been doing it my way for 34 years, still learning every day. Today was another training day for a younger driver, we went and picked up a Caterpillar D6, took it to Finning, then went to the Deere dealer and picked up a 300. On our way to the drop off point now, we will drive until she is out of hours, then get a hotel room.
Old and miserable I now do less of the really hard work, and spend more time training the next generation, and relaxing. -

MACK E-6 Thanks this.

With manuals you had to unlatch it before you back under the trailer, and sometimes the pins still needed some persuasion to unbind. -
Well then, i guess I should be happy that being just shy of the sixth decade and more than a third of that at the wheel, I’m not an old timer yet.
