Years ago, there was nothing between Green RiverUT and Las Vegas. In fact, the old road atlases would have a warning telling everyone to not go past Green River without fueling.jamespmack, Gatordude, Brettj3876 and 8 others Thank this. -

Before I even graduated high school (70's), I knew I wanted to drive OTR. Not anymore, I've had my fill of it, but when I was young, I always had a hankering to wander and to see what was over the next hill. Back then, I didn't mind being gone for 2 weeks traveling around. What better way to see the country and get paid to do it. Albeit, traffic was much less then, and there were many, many, more mom & pop truckstops around too. No GPS or cell phones back then though, and no hand holding either. You took the load, easy or not, and were expected to get it there safely and on time. Trip planning was your baby to figure out. I was lucky, I had a couple of real good mentors that taught me well. If you encountered any breakdowns, delays, or other roadblocks, you were expected to handle it and get it done yourself. You were expected to find your own loads back, if dispatch had none. Some days were spent calling brokers from the wall or table phone every hour. Unlike now, drivers ruled the roost, not dispatchers. If your truck had PS & AC, it was an added bonus, but usually not until you proved yourself and gained some seniority did you get a nicer truck. OK, enough of an old boy's ramblings, I'll show myself out now...jamespmack, Gatordude, singlescrewshaker and 11 others Thank this. -
