"Way back when it was still fun".

That must of been way after my time then. I drove a 69 Freightliner COE, no A/C, no power steering, no cruise control, no air ride.

I typically left home on Sunday afternoons, drove all night, waited half the day to unload in 90 degree heat with no A/C, beat it to the nearest pay phone to get on the board, ended up settling on a crappy low pay load, missing most if not all the days meals, drinking warm water out of my thermos, stealing a 30 minute nap while some towmotor jockey loaded my trailer, and drove my butt off all night for the next drop. Maybe stopping at the oasis to get a quick shower once a week. I smelled sweet by the end of the week!!!

Think he still wants to be Sonny Pruitt????
