Proud to Have Been a BIG R DRIVER...

Rugged, purposeful, yet beautiful

Ever since I was little runt I want to grow up and drive for JB hunt now that I'm big and tall I drive for willie Shaw

Breaker breaker

How do I get in touch,I have a dozen or so pics from my days on the road

Rugged men for a rugged job, like my dad. These trucks were hard work to drive. Notice none of these guys are 300+ lbs!

The "wistful" or bittersweet thing about these wonderful pics, is knowing that all these proud drivers and vehicles are long gone now. But we have the pics to remember them by.

2:45 Oh my! That one was surely fatal! Some of these wrecks were pretty bad!

Then the builders made nice things to sleep 😂

By157 when you sleep,but how you came there? climbing

Love the music ❤

Pictures of Midland packing trucks Early 70 es

6:48 Looks like its from a Life Magazine article dated June 1, 1959 about the Teamster's Union. I clipped it out and saved it for a while when I was about 12 YO. I really loved trucks when I was a kid.

Not one pair of shorts or sweat pants and no flip flops.

On the High board Mom!

A reminder to that of my child I once had the background playing of the way it sounds keep playing guys!

Do you have a similar compilation for Rodeway? I loved the orange and dark blue combo!

Wonderful pics!

The men i grew up around . And latter drove with.

Thanks for the Mack 67B pulling Navajo trailer

Do anyone have pictures of the Taunton Freight Company in PA. From the 1970’s or any semi on art. 49 in Pa at that time .

I am making a diorama of of RT. 49 in pa. in the 1970’s anyone have. Name of trucking company of time that was on RT. 49 at that time or picture of them thank you.

The pride and professionalism of the drivers back then is admirable.I got into the industry 44 years ago. Even in my time I’ve watched the de-evolution of trucking. Crusher caps, uniforms, professional pride replaced by turbans,sweatpants and flip flops. English language optional. Us old guys are the visible minority now.

I love a movie called They drive by night, Humphrey bogart, George Raft about early years of trucking. These videos are just beautiful.

After moving from New York, to Kansas, then Missouri 35 years of driving these roads I remember all these carriers. O love these videos as at 70 I really miss seeing them on the road.

In all your videos beside showing great trucks you play great music 👍👍👍👍👍👍

These were professional drivers very few left back when truck driving was a noble profession and they took pride in their profession

The trucks and men,l mean real men that brought America's goods cross country,I'm proud to have done it from 67 thru 13😎🇺🇲

I spent a short time living in a 1958 Autocar that had a conventional cab sleeper . Hauling swinging beef from the cornfields of Iowa to the " dirty side " as it was called back then ! 220 Cummins 10 speed Roadranger .

Love and remember the blue eyed Indian,big outfit then,and the inside cabs cold steel door panels and little 4 inch heater down in far right corner,never could get warm but I'd do it again.KOT,thanks.

Hey you used this awesome song again!

back then truck driving was a real job to have good pay

Most of these old beauties were before my time but I respect those who drove and maintained them it’s because of them that America grew and thrived

Those old road warriors were what helped build this country I was in the trucking industry for 40 years my big brother even longer may he rest in peace miss ya Steve thanks for all your help and support

When drivers looked, dressed, and acted like the true professionals that they were

Sadly the age of the professional driver is gone now you got a bunch of flip flop wearing can’t back up fresh out of some 15 minute driving school retreads clogging up the roads

This was the time when we actually had professional drivers with skills and experience and could handle a big rig

Ah yes cornbinders lol

Back when men were men and women were women and everybody knew who was who and nobody needed pronouns

Yes, three (3) Diamond REOs,a couple of D.T.s babged as REOs,at least one (1) REO and a lot of DIAMOND T's. But I did enjoy the video and I thank you for uploading it. 😊

Dude what happened to you. No videos in a long time.

Beautiful set of diamond Rios

These old. Cabovers cab did not. Jack up the motor came out the front these were called. Bullnose Kenworth in the mid. 50 s Mission. Fuels in. Mission. City. B. C had 5 off them my. Dad worked there

Always liked the “military look” post WWII

The ones under the trailers were the wild men. Between the end of th3 truck and the Dolly gear.

Now they cry and whine like little girls if they don't have there cell phones

Had a 1971 Diamond Reo with a Cummins 903 V-8 and a 1974 with Cummins 350 Hp.Brings back great memories,those were the days!

Thanks thor another awesome video

Along came deregulation that gave every truck driver today their trade. Along came EPA making the grass very brown , CDL making the driver more knowledgeable, ELD making the driver not heroes of the highway but hellions of the highway. Those days are long past gone. The driver today couldn't handle those days.

My father in law drove for CF. He worked out of the Oakland, CA. yard.
