"I went to work as a truck driver when I got out of the service," said the air force veteran of World War II. "The working conditions were bad. Trucks that dated before the war, patched together, no heaters. The firms couldn't get new ones during the war and they had to keep the old ones going." The younger men coming into the business don't "realize how easy things have been made for them," he said.

"Fellows starting out can earn as much as I do if they want to work for it. I can remember the days when a boss could fire you because he didn't like your looks." Vera Sawyer, who met her husband during the war when he was flight crewman, later agreed with her husband about the younger drivers having things easier nowadays.

"Sometimes I wonder if the government is looking out for us or trying to take our jobs," he said, checking the lug bolts on one of the rig's 16 wheels.

"The department's physicals are getting pretty tough and some of the fellows didn't pass the last one." Pulling himself into the cab, Sawyer reached into a briefcase and took out a custom-made extension for the shift on the 10-geared vehicle. "We all have these," he said, attaching the device.
