A more sensible time when people loved & respected Truckers

Beautiful video, Truck's, a major part of American history !! Without them the country would have never grown like it has. Driver's made great sacrifice's and most people never give that a thought. I have 42 years on the road and can't believe how the Driver's have no respect for their selves or anyone else. Most Driver's wore uniforms back then, not shorts and flip flops. I wear a uniform everyday and I'm a leased - operator ! Be safe and courteous to everyone !!!
