And we had them all the way up until 2018

They were "supposed" to be gone before that.

It's been about 3 years or so since we had the last one of the old high steppers

You have too go back further for the P.S. in the contract. Probably late 80's, I think the last non power steering truck we had was a 1988.

Lucky you. We had those old pigs for a lot longer.

No, that was the last new one, a 1988 had that til the mid 2000's. All trucks built after 1988 or 89 had power steering.
