Here is my friends first Peterbilt when I was still putting miles on it. I was loading at the Marblehead Lime plat in Chicago in the middle of the night in March of 1985.
The corroding wrought iron balconies add colour to the limestone face of the historic Chamber of Commerce building in Rochester, New York. The Neo Classical building was designed by Claude Bragdon in 1916 and was a gift to the community from George Eastman of Kodak. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Looking for even more Route 66? Check out multiple galleries here:
Mickey Mantle was from Commerce, OK and his town dedicated this statue and the baseball field next door to him. This statue also faces Route 66. As an all-time great, his jersey number of 7 is retired by the New York Yankees. This side calls him a great teammate and the other referenced his local nickname of "Commerce Comet." His name is etched into the base to look like a typewriter.
If you visit the area, also check out his boyhood home: flic.kr/p/2nEqZaP

Representatives of striking independent truck drivers meet with Vice President Walter Mondale (seated, center) June 29, 1979 at the White House in an attempt to reach an agreement to end the work stoppage.
Mondale aide Jack Watson is standing immediately behind Mondale.
Truckers had been on strike since early June in what began as scattered halts to trucking over rising fuel prices and other independent trucker grievances.
The following day Watson released a plan that he called a “final offer” that included an Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) rule permitting truckers to “pass through” rising fuel costs to businesses.
Other aspects of plan included support by the Carter administration for federal legislation ending a six-state refusal to increase the minimum weights of truck loads to the federal 80,000 lbs. that caused loads of some truckers to be lightened or partially off-loaded.
Other provisions included a federal promise for equal fuel distribution across the country, a coordinated federal program to ensure safety for truckers and a federal working party to find solutions to other problems of independent truckers.
The proposal fell short of the independent trucker representatives demands, but the strike was already crumbling with an increasing number of trucks on the road and blockades of oil terminals and food distribution centers dismantled.
By July 7th, a group representing 21 independent trucker associations voted to return to work. “We lost our bargaining power because so many truckers went back to work,” said Bill Hill of the Independent Truckers Unity Coalition to the Washington Post.
“Economically, we’re in bad condition to continue the strike right now,” he continued. Hill estimated fewer than 20 percent of the truckers were still on strike at that time.
The Independent Truckers Association that had initially publicized the strike nationwide and attempted to continue, but the back-to-work horse was already out of the barn. The ITA was initially formed in 1962 by Overdrive magazine editor Mike Pankhurst.
The strike had been spurred by a fuel crisis spurred by the revolution in Iran that led to prices increasing dramatically.
A previous nationwide strike by independents occurred during the 1973-74 gas crisis.
At the time, independent truck drivers’ rates were still subject to federal regulation and many earned a good living, but that would soon be challenged not by gas prices, but by deregulation.
Business Insider reported October 21, 2019:
“In the mid-20th century, truck drivers had to buy specific routes to move a certain type of product from one location to the other. But goods exempt from regulation moved at rates 20% to 40% below similar products that were regulated, according to Thomas Gale Moore, then a senior fellow at Stanford University's conservative public policy think tank Hoover Institution.
“Ultimately, that meant consumers were paying more because trucking was an industry with little competition and high barriers to entry. But it also meant truck drivers were better paid.
“The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 removed many of the cumbersome regulations that the previous law, passed in 1935, had put in place. Most notably, it allowed new trucking companies to open with relative ease and removed many of the route regulations. Companies also had more control over changing their rates.
“The law was passed by President Jimmy Carter, who declared that the MCA would save consumers as much as $8 billion ($25 billion in 2018 dollars) each year.
“Following the passing of the MCA, truck drivers' salaries tumbled. From 1977 to 1987, mean truck driver earnings declined 24%, according to research by Wayne State University economics professor Michael Belzer. And from 1980 to the present day, a Business Insider analysis found that median trucking wages have sunk as much as 35.8% in some metropolitan areas.
"’To be able to be a truck driver used to be quite a good blue-collar, middle-class job, but over the past 40 years, it has kind of dwindled away,’ Gordon Klemp, principal of the National Transportation Institute, previously told Business Insider.
“Unions also lost much of their power. Membership in Teamsters, which was once one of the most powerful unions around, has declined dramatically. In 1974, Belzer wrote that there were 2,019,300 truckers in Teamsters. Now, there are 75,000.
“When truck drivers were largely in Teamsters, work stoppages were common — and sometimes quite dramatic. In 1970, a nationwide trucker strike went on for more than a month, dealing a serious economic blow in cities like Chicago and St. Louis.
“In Cleveland, Ohio, the impacts even became one of domestic security as rock-throwing protesters drew 3,000 National Guardsmen to the city. "Helmeted troops, armed with M‐1 rifles, were stationed in pairs on some overpasses, while other guardsmen rumbled along on patrol in quarter‐ton trucks," reported The New York Times on May 1, 1970.
“The strike led to a pay increase of nearly 30% for all Teamsters truckers. The average nationwide hourly pay of $4 got a $1.10/hour bump, the Times reported.
The issue of the “barrier states” was not resolved until Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 established the needed federal minimum for truck weight limits. This Act standardized truck size and weight limits across the country for traffic on the Interstate Highway System.
De-regulated and de-unionized, four out of five truckers are now independent owner-operators. Many more work for small non-union trucking companies. The two groups mostly eke out a living from what was once was a good blue-collar job.
