Our turnpike doubles had no mirrors, we ran Sunshine State Parkway which runs North and South, no turns.
Never ran East or West, therefore, no need for sunvisors,15% savings on price of new tractor.

What about when turning into a Waffle House?

We usually carried our own Spam sammage, another savings on brake linings.
We were allowed to eat, talk on CB and play harmonica while driving.

And think its a whole penny more per mile and a can of Spam for Xmas bonus !

On hooking any type of doubles, its very crucial to get one in front of the other.......keep on trucking!!

park in front of waffle house or anywhere as a matter of fact; remember you're a truck driver you can park anywhere
