Bridge beams, gym rafter beams, power poles with and without the car trailer..windows (he, being the smart ass called it "cooked sand")
Chips, lumber hog fuel, veneer, and plywood... Just off the top of my head.
15-20 mph steep curvy roads on the coast range, town is no longer there. 2 stick shifter Pete, one hand thru the steering wheel, other shifting normally, double clutching, bouncing cab, slowly it torques and next gear, starts all over..
His last truck, just flick a button, shift, button, shift, button.. Almost no skill, big power. 707 cockpit it seems. Old Pete had just oil, water pyro, air and tach.. Speed by tach..
Trucking sure changes.. I drove a Kenworth drop box auler, V-8 Cat, twin stick shifters.. Got in the new ones.. Oh lordy!
