I remember the old Union 76 truck stops scattered the country back in the 70s when I rode with my pop in his K-100 with a screaming 318 Detroit. They were very good truck stops, and most had Mom and Pop restaurants with very good food. Today it's pay for parking, lousy fast food restaurants and employees who could care less if you liked the service or not😮 Those were the days!

The Chevron doctrine will have no bearing on emissions regulations. The one thing for certain is that emissions regulations will only be getting stricter.

Steve will get shut down as everything that happens in Cali, eventually it take over the country

[@clarencewiles963]

Stay out of California it’s easy. When you see the state line turn north, south, stop, or go back. 😂

[@dyna_zero0385]

Truck stops have changed so much since I was a kid. Back in the late 70’s , starting in the 5th grade thru 9th I would go out on the road with my father for a good part of the summer to earn money moving people up & down the east coast & mid west ( dad worked for Bekins Moving & Storage ) he had a GMC Astro then a International Transtar and then a Kenworth K100 double bunk. I remember going into Union 76 truck stops at all hrs day & night and getting good food & service. I can remember being about 12 yrs old and waking up hungry at about 1 or 2 am having a few bucks in my pocket , climbing down outta the truck and walking into the dinner and getting a few hamburgers & fries and a coke and going back to the truck and sitting in the passenger seat eating and my dad waking up asking if I got him one 🤣🤣 I’m 56 now and dad died 3 & 1/2 yrs ago. God those were good times !!! R.I.P. BadLuck62

[@allan9603]

@@dyna_zero0385 Wow, my dad too was a "bed bug", Atlas Van lines. I worked my ass off moving furniture, packing loading.., very hard work being a mover. My dad drove numerous trucks, such as Brockways, GMC Astros, Macks, Freight Shakers.., and in the early days he drove the old Emervilles. Atlas, Von Der Aye, Republic..I remember all the moving companies One summer back in 1972, we moved Chuck Conners " The Rifleman", from Pacific Palisades, California to Malibu, and he gave me a .22 Marlin Rifle that I still have today! One hell of a nice guy. Today I'm 68, retired army officer, and never forget those wonderful times on the road. RIP pop in that big truckstop in Heaven.

[@shawngleason1345]

That little place you got fuel at is one of my favorites. They make good coffee in the morning and awesome breakfast sandwiches.

[@drsysop]

Steve, Remember the 76 Truck Stop in Bartonvsville, PA in the Poconos? It's long gone now.

[@fsctrucking]

Long gone. But yes, I remember it well.

The noise from a APU, or a Reefer I can’t remember because I just went to sleep 🛌 😂

[@wyatt12358]

I LIKE the KWIK TRIPS. I was at the CENEX in MENOMONIE, WI. about a month ago they had a good cafe in there. The truckstops that have DENNY'S ARE NOT BAD.

[@akllera]

Ate at that Cenex last week. Pretty good café. Exit 41 and 28 have Dennys with truck parking. Down off 90 exit 45 in Minnesota. there's a truck stop with a good diner too.

[@wyatt12358]

@@akllera Yep I run those lanes often. What is at exit 45 that you are talking about? Is that the Amoco at Worthington, Mn. That place is real good and they keep it CLEAN

[@stevespriggs3302]

Thats my favorite truck stop in New York. The dinner was one of my favorite restaurant back in the day. Stay safe

[@davidklauer3422]

Miss the mom and pop’s My dad would always stop at them on road trips He was a radiologist, and his classmate was Don Heyl, who started Heyl Truck lines He always said,” I went to medical school to become a doctor, Heyl bought a truck and worked his ass off. Guess who became more successful “ My dad always respected truckers I started driving for Roadway back in ‘86 Now I might fill in for a driver on vacation here at my current job running parts to the Peterbilt plant. Keep on trucking brother!

[@kroge007]

I was told that since the Mass Turnpike is now a regular Interstate road and not an Authority the local PD’s and Sheriff Departments can work construction details now. The turnpike was maintained by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA) until the department was replaced by the Highway Division of MassDOT in 2009.

[@michaelsorrentino-yp7nb]

You must be at the NY/Mass line Loves !!

[@rodneyperry6942]

Canaan. I go by there quite often, but get my sandwiches at the old truckstop across the road

[@michaelsorrentino-yp7nb]

@@rodneyperry6942 Yup I do the same thing when I am up there !

[@TheByard]

The Motorway started opening up in the UK from the 1960s onwards, before the service areas became the thing with driving. The food was all prepared and cooked ahead of time and tasted just like when you came home late for lunch as a kid. On the A roads the mum & pop still had the daily specials and cook to order, yes the bacon and sausage would pre cooked but the over easy egg came right from the pan. Gloucester cattle market had huge parking lots, a pub and café, so overnighters could have a beer and meal. Now that's a retail lot. another Roadside café on the outskirts closed when the M5 motorway bypassed the city, they could not make on local traffic alone. I miss those places that sold real food bought locally from farms.

[@DavidDishman-vc4tk]

What up Steve how is your day going and how is Orwell doing today

[@elijames3041]

Good evening Steve

[@KirkDeWitt]

I agree with you on the food thing. Good food is at home!! There’s nothing like home cooked meals

I saw a video where he had a chained-down load, he had chain binders like you have, but to keep them closed he had a u shaped, only square cornered piece of metal that slipped over the binder when closed, and held in place with pin with a flip over ring

If anyone thinks the Green APU is loud they should try the main engine at high idle all night for heat or A/C. Or as another post said, a reefer unit set to -20°.

I haven't seen diesel that cheap in the 4 Corners area of New Mexico in about 3 years. Be safe

Truck stops need a lot less fast food, and more sit down home cooked meals. I’m planning on going to work for tmc after the first of the year, and I’ll have to meal prep for a home cooked meal. Times have definitely changed.

[@twitafftwitaff7029]

Reefers are way louder than the APU 🤣 BTW nice looking Rig next to you with the step deck

Is there a remote or a button you could put on the dash to turn off the APU instead of going back in the bunk, might be easier for you. Watching you for years in Ireland.

[@hoytballard5504]

Yeah he chases those donuts down with orange juice which is really just diabetes in a glass. Ain’t going to keep that diet up much longer without turning into a diabetic. I used to be like that eating and drinking all those carbs. I was addicted to orange juice every morning for years. Not healthy at all. Gave it up along with most carbs and wound up losing 60 pounds. Ain’t going back.

Hi Steve ORWELL looks great im glad you have another video rollin the videos are great keep em coming pray trump gets REELECTED and he will slash emissions and will be able to build gliders again

Let's hope so. Make Trucking Great Again.

[@Penske_Logistics_Roseburg-Ore]

At Many Trucks Stops I go to near Nevada and Oregon, so many truckers I talk to hate California so much and ask how I do it, I say I work for Penske and all of their trucks are mostly new and maintained every three months. I almost always get a new truck every Two to Three years. I'm a Peterbuilt type of guy, I do love my KWs too. But California in a tough state to work with and they are running many of the businesses out of the State, and when these Businesses leave, California threatens them with Ten year exiting taxes, which is Illegal as Hell. I live here in my hometown Roseburg, Oregon. I love it here; I also have home and properties in Saratoga and Menlo Park California. I do frequent California Daily to the Bay Area and back to Oregon weekly all year round. But yes, Penske keeps their fleet vehicles current to the years and sell off their old fleet. I love my new trucks every two to three years, must be nice.
