40 acres? That turning radius

[luther s]

Yep. Boston is an experience especially for the new drivers. Didn't like it much after years of driving.

[Christine Newland]

Love it! My husband is a trucker and he is always talking about the problems of navigating into docks and turning around in the city!

He posted this song on his FB wall!

Looks like 11 people need 41 acres. What a great song of the ol era. My mom & dad use to play this on long trips back east from California. Good memories thanks got posting.

I grew up on KFDI & KFTI thanks to my parents.

I always thought this song was a cute little song about a bygone era of truck driving. Then I drove my rig to Boston on the coast to coast run outta Seattle. Holy smokes! It's the worst. You park in Rhode Island and rent a small truck to transfer the shipment to deliver. You also gotta do it in SF, NYC, DC, and Vancouver. But Boston is the worst bar none.

And homeless? We need machines to build the houses, and wood and all that to make them
