Most kids now would not know what to do with an old two stick.

When I drove truck for a couple of years (in-state logistics, not over the road) we had an old Pete, a new Pete, and an old GM dump truck. Both old trucks had "two-sticks".....everybody always fought to get the new Pete.

Being the low guy on the totem pole, I spent more time than I wanted to with the two-stick approach.

Made a conscious effort to forget it once I moved on.;)
