You guys will adjust and do just fine, like we have with all other logging changes over the years.
But I doubt you will ever have a free reign like we had in 1961 or 62.
For about 3 weeks we never logged any time we ran Fla.
This was known as the CUBAN CRISIS.
We had no speed limit,no hour restrictions, never stopped at scales or check points.
The law turned their backs when we came past
We had a relay at Hazlehurst Ga. when you clocked in, the dispatcher would ask you to go to the motel
sleep a couple hrs. and come back for a Jax. turn or back home.
Same in Charlotte, get a couple hrs. and come on back.
We hauled enough barbed wire, parachutes,155mm artillery rounds,500lb bombs and small arms amo
to sink the state of Fla.
Don't know what happened to that freight, we never hauled a load back.
RTL, Carolina Freight and I think Akers Motor Lines ran that freight, don't know about other carriers.
It was also the heyday for the Black RJS, footballs, little green Mcneils and the White Cross.
Yep, Bennie hauled his share of freight back then.
Later when they cracked down on pills, you had to be careful.
I was in Whites Truck Stop in Raphine Va. had a pill in my hand being sneaky I wiped my mouth,didn't
think no one would notice, two Big R drivers ran up and kissed me before I got it swallowed.
