I don't think people know how trucking used to be. I knew an old trucker who would tell stories about getting a bag of pills with his paychecks. And cops just mailing speeding tickets to the company and not even pulling you over. So I believe the 17-1800 miles a day. These dudes help build this country. Cool to see people showing appreciation.

He reminds me of my grandfather, who passed away. Actually happened on the job. He was getting off his rig slipped fell, and hit his head. Turned out he had a brain aneurism, and it happened to hit him as he was climbing down off the truck. So fucking sad was only 56 and had been trucking since he was 18. The company (Dimond and Bacorn through NorthAmerican) they paid for all the funeral costs and all that. So many memories riding with him and doing overnight rides we him and my older brother. Miss him so much...
