Love to hear about those days. I actually drove a b model mack with a 5-4 so I know what you had there. But don't be so hard on the new guys, many things have changed, the biggest being satelite systems and cel phones, which have mostly eliminated the need to stop and help. Also todays trucks don't have much that a driver can repair either, so there is not much that anyone can offer. I hear all the time people asking on the cb if someone along the road needs help and almost always they say help is on the way. And now roadside repair services are abundant and most people don't even have a spare with then, or the tools to change a tire if they do. Most companies today would not allow it anyway for the safety of the driver. So most of the changes you mentioned are just natural progression of the times. I really don't believe that new drivers today are worse than they were in those days, and I believe that even back then the oldtimers thought the new guys were something less. I will say that young people as a group today are less respectful than we were when we were young. That is a sad but true fact of life today.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
