I think things started going downhill when they started to install power steering in tractors, when they eliminated the low air pressure wig-wag signal above the driver's side windshield, and took away the front axle limiter valve. Heck, now anybody could drive!They can't get drivers for years.

When Ryder bought Miller Motor Lines ( a tanker outfit) they had B&S engines on the rear of the tankers to pump off chemicals.One of my first jobs was hauling cement tanks.
One guy asked an old timer how they unloaded them before the PTO.

He did have the Popeye forearms.
