Many years ago, Teamsters were called Chauffeurs, not truck drivers. It showed the pride and professionalism of their profession.

It's an old man with a hat that went missing.

Being a long time Dodge Boy the connection is obvious. Both my old rides are Dodges and one of our DD is a Dodge. Never understood why Chrysler abandoned this great symbol.
 
I deface any Damn-u-Liar marked piece of equipment I find at work. I am not alone in this effort.

The previous avatar was my car the day before the election, inside the CTC garage.

Well how about that, you've answered a question I've had for years. Back when I got my first driver's license, after the written test and just before the road test, the examiner asked if I wanted a standard license or a Chauffeurs license. I asked what the difference was told with a Chauffeurs licence I could drive anything commercial and I think he added it cost an extra $2. So I splurged. Years later when I moved from Ontario to Alberta, my new Alberta licence was issued as class 3 instead of the normal class 5. Seems my licence covers multi-axle so all I need is an Air Certificate and I could be real dangerous!:)

In Alberta
  • Class 1 (Professional – Any vehicle)
  • Class 2 (Professional – Bus)
  • Class 3 (3-axle plus)
  • Class 4 (Professional – Taxi, Ambulance)
  • Class 5 (2-axle – Cars, Light Trucks, Motor Homes or Mopeds)
  • Class 6 (Motorcycle & Moped)

When did you move here, Bill? When I had my Chauffeur's redeemed here in late 79 all they gave me was a class 5. Oh well, I do have the air endorsement though.
 
I mainly have two interests that have dominated pretty much my entire life,

1. Mopars - fairly self explanatory to you guys.
&
2. Missiles - I test 'em, assemble 'em, and then launch 'em for the US Navy. (BTW, this pays for main interest #1)
