Los Angeles, California, June 6, 1975 - Never Forget

Smart money says Jimmy Bob was in the back of that microbus with 4 hippie chicks.

As an 8-year-old, I also remember truckers getting pissed at me for “walking all over them” during family trips to the Florida panhandle.

That one brings back some memories.

Uh, in 1975 I was living in The Village in north Dallas.

Rediscovered this song a few years ago. Lyrics are brilliant. Haven’t seen a “cab-over Pete” in years. Is it because the length of the rugs are no longer regulated?

Well, if they took 10 out of LA and ended up on 44 to Tulsa, they may very well have passed through Dallas. 😂

This song came on SXM channel 7 the other day and I started laughing out loud. How the hell did the convoy defeat the bears with armored cars and tanks?

On June 6, 1975, I had 19 more days before taking my first breath.

But I loved that song as a kid

Cabovers came about because trailers could only be a certain length. By making the Truck shorter as a Cab over Engine they could pull longer trailers and haul more freight.
No longer the case anymore as any truck can pull a 53 footer. Back when my Dad drove he drove an IH Cabover and I think trailers back then were 40 or 42 ft, can't recall.

Can't believe noone has a picture of Biden's truck from back when he was a truck driver.
