FWIW..
Only truckers need to read further.
The company lowboy had no "working" brakes. Small wheels, small brakes. Eastern PA.is all mountains. I would top a hill at about 10 mph to get ready for the downward run with no reliable brakes. I used engine compression in low until it was over revved, then next gear, next gear, etc. Hoping I wouldn't have to shift into the Hail Mary gear, neutral. There were no safety issues, the run was made in the wee hours of the night. The tunnel got built, I got paid for the delivery, so why do we need all the modern BS that I know would accompany this delivery I modern time.???
They were real truckers back then and knew trucks !! My dad would roll over in his grave if he saw what trucking has become. Now they go to a trucking school for a few weeks and... Walhaaaaaa you're a Trucker (without a clue)....lol Todays equipment is a lot safer but some of the drivers make you wonder !!
