What was so good about the “Good” old days?
Dirt yards, slow trucks and no air conditioning.

No tachos, no mobile phones, no trackers, nowhere near as much traffic, time to breathe, employers usually happy with a days work, comradery was much better imo.

As a kid back in the 60’s I don’t think I even knew of the existence of air con so, funnily enough, I didn’t miss it…

Drivers those days were a different breed , most would have been in the armed forces in wartime and valued their jobs and were disciplined. stopping to help a fellow driver was the norm no matter whose name was on the trucks door ,besides that they over nighted together in proper digs instead of camping outand never lived all week in isolation in a cab and so had a friendly nature and respect for each other, and there was not the obvious envy of others regarding driving a new v8 or how shiny it was etc, it was a different world those days alright but drivers have let it drift to what it is today . --toshboy
