Has it really been 40 years?
Truck & Driver launched all the way back in 1984, at a time when the road transport scene was in many ways very different to how it is now.
Smack-bang in the middle of what’s often called ‘The Golden Age’ of trucking, UK roads in the mid-’80s were alive with British-built commercial vehicles rubbing shoulders with European makes, manual gearboxes and cassette players were still the norm, and the mettle of the most intrepid drivers could be tested with gruelling long hauls to the Middle East.
Advances in technology have made trucking much less stressful now; but things like busier roads, more legislation, increased training requirements etc have made the job harder. But through it all, Truck & Driver has been on the scene, reporting on developments, showcasing the latest trucks and giving a voice to the guys and gals behind the wheel.
For this issue we’ve had a dive back through the archives and found some real gems in our early editions of the mag – check them out!
