Thank you for getting back to me so fast on how long-haul Larry is doing. He did mention something about starting a business in regards to trucking being a. I believe it’s a broker in regards to getting the loads, but he did not go into detail about it too much but thank you again for getting back to me.

When hauling water melons used to go right out into the field and they would load you there. They would put a straw hay on the floor and in between each roll of water melons about halfway up, the trailer would be a load give a take a little bit. Never had cat. Scales at truckstops. Used to run around the state scales back roads. I can remember one time loading watermelon out in the field and I heard a gunshot. I asked the guy what was that he told me they just killed a snake out in the field. They would have guys walking around with handguns and their job was to protect the pickers from the snakes then they would bring the snakes in and skin them and cook them over a fire. That was the first time I ever had rattlesnake to eat, and it tasted a lot like eating chicken the whole time pickers knew how to cook rattlesnake.

I drove dry trailers and tank it for many years used to work for a tanker company out of Akron Ohio coastal tank lines not sure if they’re still in business a lot but that was many years ago. I haul everything from chemicals to cranberry juice. To orange juice and I even hauled whiskey to a place in Hartford Connecticut. The name used to be Hiram walker not sure if they’re still there anymore or watt. But when I started, you did not have a CDL license they used to call them chauffeurs licenses then the government switched over and called them CDL license it And we automatically got CDL licenses and I had a tanker endorsement. Some of the tankers did not have baffles in them and some did the ones that didn’t when you shifted you had to go with the flow. You always waited till the liquid came back upfront and then you shifted . When stopping at a toll booth are used to stop maybe four or 5 feet before the toll booth and when the liquid with splash shop and hit the front of the end side of the tanker, it would push you ahead enough so you could pay your toll on a little bit they were all toll taker person and also I had to be bonded to haul liquor they were really strict on that. Used to have to call in to a phone number and let them know where you were at all times and we had no cell phones dead always had to stop and make a call every so many hours. Also had certain routes to take so if anything happened they gave them an idea where to look for you from the last time you called in. If you were caught off route, you could lose your job that was controlled by the company and also the federal government. Of course laws have changed since then.

I was hoping to see something I recognized but it has been too long since I left OKC. Got out of the USAF on June 21, 1979 and have not been back to Oklahoma. Lived by Tinker AFB for close to 4 years. Played war by Norman. I think the area looked like a bunch of car dealerships. God Bless and Keep the Greasy Side Down!

The Brockway truck that I drove had a 190 Cummins engine in it and the Mack trucks were Mack engines. The trucks were B 61 and B 88 Mack trucks with coffin sleepers: a winter hot in the summer. The only AC we had Ray with the windows open and the vents open there were some nights that it was so hot. I made myself a Hamic and hung it underneath the trailer at night and slept in it because it was too hot in the truck. Boy does that bring back a lot of memories … sorry john for making this conversation so long on my driving career. You be safe out there and always always look over your shoulder….

Not many of us around who remember Brockway. I was in a family of truckers. My great uncle drove a Brockway. I have a picture of it in a scrapbook somewhere. It was a brown cabover, that's all I remember about it. He never told me the motor or transmission, and I never rode in it.

I was stuck in a town in Florida that day called Opa-Locka back in the 70s when they had the riots. I had to get escorted out with other trucks by the national guard even had a God‘s man riding shotgun in all the trucks with a rifle and I asked him, does that rifle have any bullets in it and he looked at me and smiled and took the clip out and showed me there was real bullets in it. I found out the next day that the place I unloaded at burned to the ground. It was set on fire. The company was Where the other buildings them were the days when you looked over your shoulder all the time, even hold water melons out of the southern part of Florida and ran a crossed the road they called alligator alley back then it was only two lanes one lane each way sometimes at night you’d run over what you thought was a speed bump or a pothole and come to find out it was an alligator that used to come out of the swamp and lay on top of the asphalt because it was warm for heat at night. Because we used the CB radios a lot and the driver of another truck would say someone just hit an alligator in the highway , then you knew what you ran over. I drove her Cabover Peterbilt with a 400 Cummings in it with a 13 speed and also drove Mack trucks with Quadro Plex and duplex us and them. I also drove a cab over international trans star. And at one time , I drove and lol Brockway regular cab truck with a 10 Speed Rd. ranger and the changeover was not air shifting it was a cable you pulled go from low range to high range. It was almost like a throttle cable next to your shift lever, then were the good old days when drivers helped each other out. If you came across a truck broke down on the side of the road you stopped and helped him. That’s what drivers did back then helped each other out. There was times I sat there in the cold weather to keep the other driver warm because his truck was not running or took him so he could make a call by phone to get help. Not like it is today drivers just go right by and don’t care about another driver. Also, the CB radios came in handy on channel 19 was the truck and Channel there were times when you could talk to somebody at home and they would make a call for you get help by having a policeman come out and he would get a (company) or a wrecker to haul your truck. People help people out.

Oklahoma toll roads ..... still annoy me after all these years. 😤 We pay lots of road tax in the fuel price, and then places like Oklahoma double-charge us with tolls to drive direct through on roads in their State. I always went back roads around them, to avoid Oklahoma's toll system. And I tried not to buy fuel in the State, just over principle of them trying to double dip us truck drivers.

I don’t know if it’s my iPad, but the sound balance ,for me anyway, is out of balance I think, too much engine/ road noise, which kinda drowns your voice.
