I’m always amazed at how small the mirrors were until the 50s

[@layneannen]

I was thinking same thing, they certainly didn't have the traffic to deal with like modern times!

Love the pictures of the early days of trucking and the equipment that they operated. Plus the conditions in which they drove those trucks. I've driven a couple of oldies that were duplexes and they're hard to drive if you're not used to that type of transmission. I would love to see a video of companies that are still operating today. Thank you for the videos and sharing how trucks used to be and the old days.

Great pictures nicely done! The twin-stick at 3.06 through the wheel was a difficult transmission on a good day! At 4.25 is that a sleeper box?

[@Hyrev1]

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 .

What is the truck at 3:00? I dont have a clue, and i am usually very good at ID, shop built?

[@eichgenosse]

warum haben die so viele nummerschilder?

[@pugetlexus]

there was no gold in trucking in them days until jimmy organized everone under the master freight agreement which he did for his own good but millions of families ate three meals cause of that agreement. owner operators could always do well...if they had a good woman.

It was a great career choice up until Jimmy Carter screwed that all up with his anti Union deregulation bull 💩. 😡😤
