Popular Post hellbilly Posted July 31, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2012 hello everyone. I'm new to this site so I'm still trying to find where everything's at. I'm an otr driver with a sickness for diesel. I'm in the process of building a website to honor the truck drivers of the past who have paved the way for my generation of drivers (I'm only 23). I'm looking for any information I can use on my site www.asphalt-cowboy.com about old trucking companies who are out of business, drivers who started driving prior to 1980, old trucking photo's, drivers who have lost their lives while on the road, and information about the old mom and pop truck stops who have been closed down due to the major travel centers swallowing them up. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I believe if we don't preserve our past history in trucking it will only lead to further downfall to the backbone of this country. Anyways I cant wait to talk to some of you guys and expand my mind. 3 Quote http://www.asphalt-cowboy.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Welcome. It's always good to see someone as young as yourself show an interest in the equipment and the industry. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbilly Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 thank yall for the welcome. I've been interested in trucks for as long as I can remember. I'm more interested in the older trucks then I am these "wish I could be a truck driver so I need to have an automatic transmission, E-logs, blind side camera, etc trucks" unfortunately I'm a company driver with a 09' Freightliner Cascadia with a Eaton Fuller 10 speed 460hp (guts cut out of) Detroit DD15 63mph rolling road block. I've seen some pictures of my grandfathers 1951(?) Mack LJ now thats what I'd rather be driving. Quote http://www.asphalt-cowboy.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
