Lots of good points hit. I wouldn't be afraid to strike out across the state with my 1958 GMC grain truck. I am continually checking things on it each time it is running. The brakes will stop on a dime and every light works but that didn't come from a jump in it and go attitude. I have it because it will do the work of a new one and I LIKE to tinker on it. If it didn't work as good as a newer truck it would cost me money and time. None of us can afford either of those. During harvest this year I am not sure that there were more than 25% of the trucks that were road worthy. Semi trucks yes, but grain trucks no. I will admittedly say that Kansas is way too lax on some things.
There is an old boy that runs a dairy just north of town. Probably milks 100 head. Doesn't have any trucks, just carts. See them all the time at the elevator in a shiny new tractor pulling a couple of carts. Some of what they drive is a few miles of town driving. There is NO WAY that rig would stop for a little kid on a bicycle. It doesn't help that there are usually 5 family members in the cab like it is some sort of field trip.
