[QUOTE="Highwayman, post: 659897, member: 14480"] Started in the late 80's on day trailer. When pickups had hand written books I think 10 packages per page,you had better sign every page in the book LEGIBLY for one pick up or you would hear about it the next day. friend model tractors, hand sheeted deliveries,lining up packages by shipper number to make hand sheeting easier,40 foot side roller trailers,no skids allowed,got on feeders, all doubles trailers were drop frames and single feeders were 40 foot drop frames. Jacking up the feeders on the unload. No stacks on the tractors, oh the burning of my eyes. No mufflers or A/C or power steering on the tractors,rust holes in the floors. The DIAD 1: looking for a phone to download your data,the portable printer for J.C. Penney in a suit case, they wanted a hard copy at the time of delivery. Now my tractor is a new Sterling with A/C,power steering,air ride cab,a stack and 455 H.P. What a difference 21 years makes!:happy2: [/QUOTE]
