I also remember those good old days.When theonly thing you needed was a chaufeurs license and be 25 yrs. old to drive big trucks.We did,nt have to use log books either,no piss tests,no bridge laws,no cdl,no weigh stations,I use to carry maps of al the states I was passing thru to figure out my best route to take to get to my destination.We also got paid by the Hour not the mile.We also had clocks on our dashboards so when you left on a run you got you,re pappers with a little key to unlock…

In my 32 yrs. out there the worst accident I ever witnessed was 2 4 wheelers racing down I-71s just outside louisville ky. and one of the 4 wheelers sped beside me on the shoulder of the road not knowing a big truck was broke down on that shoulder and before he realized what was on that shoulder he could,nt slow down enough before he went under the back of the trailer decapitateing both the driver and passenger I immediately pulled up behind this and got out with some rags and covered the…

I know the cost of renewing your CDL has risen.Hell in my home state of OHIO the cost seemed to rise every year.When I first started driving big trucks thats all I needed was a chaufeurs license.But then every state jumped right on in with charging a high cost to obtain and renew.Here in OHIO that cost is now $58.00 and for any endorsement would raise it even more like having Haz Mat,doubles triples,tanker,motorcycle I think my cost generally ran around $72.00 being I had every endorsement…

Who would you say are more courtiest truck drivers men or women.I,m polling a list of what you all think.In my 32 yrs. out there Ithought the women were.Thats all I heard out of men was complaints,4 wheelers going to slow,race issues,traffic back ups,not once did I hear a women driver complaining nor ever hear any race issues.Hats off to all you female drivers out there.
