This has been an interesting thread to read start to finish. I drove a small 1600 gallon home heating oil delivery truck for a couple winters in the early 80s (plus a couple dump trucks on occasion), which is about the extent of my truck driving experience. Had a teamster card for that brief time too. For a 23 year old kid, it was especially fun when the muffler fell off the oil truck (gas International 345 v-8) and I could "go through the gears" of the 5 & 2 (that poor two speed differential). Made me feel kinda like a big shot.
Anyway, the real reason I'm piping in to this thread is that yesterday my bride and I were out for a drive and we ran across a guy polishing up his restored cement mixer. I can honestly say I've never seen one of these beasts of burden restored...

That's the way I remember cement mixers.
1/2 were Macks and the other 1/2 were Autocars.

Not that they are respected and I don't agree with their business practices they do drive better since they got rid of out of school hires and raised their pay in order to keep not just recycle drivers.

A friend of mine who is retiring from the business sent me this video link about a career driver. 6.5 million miles in the same truck he bought new.

Just a quick calculation, that is about 1200 NYC to LA roundtrips.
And now you know why I can still remember that dropped piece of pavement at the 97 yard stick in the right lane in east bound NEBRASKA PATCH and the time they threw the green switch on in the west bound chicken house half way down Cajon Pass when it had been in bypass red mode 'til I got 'bout ah hundred yardz from the WE WANT YOU IN HERE NOW off ramp
