Trucking History Yesterdays TruckersTrucking History goes back a long way. Before the 1900s trucking was getting its start without even knowing it. Big trucks were more of an advertising billboard but they soon realized the big machines were going to be a useful for profit. Trucking started with horse pulled trailers and it was a rough start. Imagine todays trucker traveling through time to be a trucker back then.Imagine sitting in a truck powered by a electric engine from time past. Imagine how there was nonsuch thing as an air ride seat. Yesterdays trucker was a very genuine person. There was no glory of living on the road at that time. These men were cutting the path for todays trucker and they did it with spirit and raw determination. Trucks back then were sitting on top of solid tires, thats right drivers did not have the pleasure of traveling on air tires. I cant fathom driving for miles down the road on of course back then a gravel road with with air tires. My teeth are rattling just thinking about it.
