Exactly.



Still have 30-40 head on feed.

Not a truck driver but thanks for bring in the supplies.

I feel for you, Bro.

In the late 70's I was going to night school (6-12) in Denver, and working in a meat packing plant days. One day the other two guys called in "sick".

Bud will do that to you...

I loaded , by myself, 2 semi-trailors with cuts of beef, except for the hooker inside.(Not what you think- had to have a guy positioning the meat-hooks as I hung the cuts- hinds). IIRC each trailer held 40,000 lbs.

It was a long day, and I didn't go to school that night. TGIF!!!!! I was semi-alive by Monday.

A clear case of over penetration....

I was young then, a mere 35...

Not really a driver anymore, just haul gas/diesel occasionally. I make more money working in a factory than I did driving, over the road or local. I sure don't miss being stuck in a truck every night, really miss driving a truck though.

Been a long time since I saw a cab-over on the highway, but I saw one last week... Didn't think they made those things any longer..

A bunch of the younger bull haulers around here are trying to bring back the cab over.

Not new ones of course, but they are buying old ones and fixing them up.

I get a kick out of it.

Back in the 70's the fellows driving the cabover Whites talked about being the first on the scene of the accident.

Thats what dad told me when I drove my first truck. C-600 Ford.

You haven't seen small until you crawl into a cracker box GMC. Heck even the last Freightliner cab overs were so small you had to open the door to turn and get your boots tied.

Stopped making trucks when they went from twin full-sized shift levers to the little dick-sticks on top of dog-house or consoles...
