As the time gets near for me to get my gold watch and ride off into the sunset I was looking at old trip reports and thinking.

Jan 7, 1976 I was at the Keystop in Guthrie, Ky. Loaded for Mason & Dixon at Pullman in East Chicago going to Pullman in Ashland City, TN. Load was 11' wide and weighed 22,000. It paid $790 to the truck on 418 miles.

I had to have a flat fixed on the trailer. 50 gal of fuel, new tube and flap + labor to fix the tire and a gallon of Delo oil was total ticket of $54.50.

I was doing better nearly 40 years ago. Damn deregulation.
