A good truck driver can smell a cop five miles away against the wind , and the old C B radio helped a bunch , But that was back when truck drivers were all friends and any truck driver ya did not know and friends with was the ones ya just had not met yet. Back then Channel 10 was ablaze with chatter of guys talking giving bear reports road conditions accidents passen info down the line tryen to reach some driver that had a family emergency back home there was no cussen ya knew people from all over . ya chatted with guys and gals on base stations and got to know then and they got to know you . When ya came into a new town and needed directions someone on a base station would get you to where you needed to be or they would jump in there car and take you there . Then we moved up to 19 and they followed . Then along came the late 80 and 90's a whole different breed of socalled drivers now and the good people on the base stations started to leave due to the cussen and foul language and the whole trucking changed as us owner operators got out and the truck school grads took over Now instead of stopping to help if your broke down they try there darnest to see how close they can get with out hitting you.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i ... [Read Article]
