40 years (almost) as a driver.

A little maudlin, perhaps but, I was thinking that I'm only just short of having been employed, as a driver, for 40 years. January 1978 was my first "proper" driving job.
Given the changes, in that time, I got to thinking about the men who were in my current position, back then. They would have started driving BEFORE WWII and what changes they must have seen!
Might some even have driven steam wagons? Certainly they would have worked with people who did.
Go back another 40 years and the horsepower would have been just that. HORSE power.
How far we have come, in a relatively short space of time.
