I talk to more than a few truckers every day of the week, and have for the last 16 years, and I've never heard any BS like that.
Well......are most of those truckers in their 80's or 90's......or "Not Exactly"......???
Do they need to be? Because..."math."
If they were hiring children, which there were not. To drive 18 or 22 wheelers with new Cat D 9 and D 10's Tractors type heavy equipment. Lets say a driver who today is 63 y/o and still a card carrying Teamster. 49 years ago was 14 years old.........I don't think WEAVER BROS. TRUCKING was hiring 14 years olds.
OK.....lets try the Company was willing to hire a man 29 years old back then.....he would be 77 or 78 years old today and still driving "Long Haul".
