[@jeffreymartin8031]

Wow that was great interview with your friend and I joy ot very much and I love watching our videos they are very educational on KZbin

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@spito68]

Al Greymont is one of a kind. I was fortunate enough to work with Al for his dad. I was a 15 year kid back in the early 80’s working in the yard. Servicing equipment and trucks. Al is one of those guys that nobody could ever could say a bad word about. Great guy from a great family.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you for sharing.

[@AhmearClayIombo-dj6di]

Awesome Trucking

[@raymondbradley6788]

Thanks for sharing your story Al. You’re right common sense is going out the window these days.👍👍👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks for watching

[@staynsaddle]

Please say thank you to Mr Greymont for me!! Excellent video what a pleasant man to listen too

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Sure thing!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Great interview! Old school!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you

ALL IS THE MAN!! One of the best.

With over 50 years as an OTR/ Owner Operator both in and out of the Recovery Industry, decling heath issues forced me to give up trucking all together. I had come to the stark realization that had I continued, I would have become a danger to not only myself but the general motoring public as well. Besides, there are far too many "steering wheel holders " out there today. My uncle taught me how to drive; over a period of four years. My first truck was an old LF Mack. Five x three with a two speed rear end. Four the first year, I rode with him and learned general maintenance. Second year, I was actually allowed to drive, but only if he was with me. Third year, more driving, but only if the recovery required multiple trucks or, in the case of logging, we were both loading out of the same landing. The fourth year, I was allowed out on my own but only local stuff. That's how you learn to drive I too, loved the old Holmes. There wasn't anything you couldn't do with one if you didn't get in a hurry. Yes, I hate automatics also. There is nothing like floating a twin stick up through the gears. My uncle taught me how important it was to take care of your unit. Trucks got washed, fueled, and the OVM cleaned and restored for the next day/job before you were done for the day, regardless of the weather. My uncle was one heck of a mentor, never to be forgotten. I'd think long and hard before I "jumped ship."

[@TheBostonTrucker]

You have a lot to be proud of, thank you for sharing some of your career with me. Health issues unfortunately sideline a lot of drivers including my dad but it's better to be taken out for health reasons then to die alone behind the wheel. Peace and love 🙏❤️

[@carldrexler7883]

You forgot to ask Al about those fenders

[@brockgriffin7502]

They're aftermarket fiberglass fenders hold up pretty well but add a lot of weight to the hood compared to the aluminum ones

[@scottnumrich9024]

Mike, I mostly agree with your friend there about old school truckers when they are gone. I believe that you are keeping the tradition going as a younger guy and I hope some of group and others will learn from you to keep the traditions going. Doing trucking right and being friendly and polite to those around you. I am sure you are inspiring others.

[@slodsl]

That engine is a work of art. Thing popped off like it was nothing. Sounds healthy af.

[@chrisharkins8708]

Al is like the guys I grew up around and learned how to driver from. Old school real truck drivers. The best type to be around and learn from. Glad I grew up way back when. Great video and interview..

[@JohnDockler]

That right there is a old school cool truck and driver

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Agree

[@raymondbradley6788]

Awesome video, Mike👍👍👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dougpilger-x4j]

man that brings back memories,,, dude shifted like was just part of breathin

[@TheBostonTrucker]

It is to most experienced truckers.

[@PeteLipski]

Another great interview Mike !! Nothing like Old School Cool 👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks Pete I knew you'd enjoy this guy.

[@tracymiller1881]

The KENWORTH with the spread behind it looks like a Canadian truck with the spread on the truck.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

From New Foundland

[@droffasjr]

I can relate... Born in 64 and got my " class A "license on my 18th birthday in 1982. Started on the farm driving old hay trucks at 16 yrs old with a lust for the world in a truck. Glad I live in the era I did as times have changed. I got to see a lot in the tail end of "fun" days of trucking in the 80s-90s. Hard to believe I turned 60 a few weeks ago, but the memories and friends will never be forgotten. Ole school trucking will never be as fun as it was in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Let me know when you're ready for your interview 😉😎

[@williamkelly544]

Awesome video as always. Good to see couple of real truckers just hanging out doing what they love.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you

[@AndrewCorreira]

Mike i met Alfred in 1990 Henniker New Hampshire hauling bark. It's been a long lasting friendship. My wife and i have been to many truck shows with Al and his family. He is the definition of old school trucker and a great friend!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Very nice to have such a good long-term friend.

[@brockgriffin7502]

Maybe you guys can tell him to let me go to some shows instead of practically being locked in his garage

[@lostrailbeds8289]

1 man. 1 truck. 1 clutch. 1 drivetrain. Point is....he knows his Baby Blue better than anyone else ever will!! That's why it's got those miles on it!! One of the Macks I ran was finicky and only liked me!! Haha! Great show Mike, as always! Tell him I've got 3 years on him!!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Yes sir you got it right thank you

[@carldrexler7883]

I’m glad you find these guys great to hear them I used to listen to the older drivers when I was young and ate it up now I’m 75 and it’s hard to find guys older than me to reminisce. Thanks Mike 😁

[@mnsearway]

Another great video Mike. Really enjoy the old school trucks and the stories that go along with them. Can’t wait for the next one. Be Safe!!!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Right on

[@pupweiller1]

Man I love your videos of old school trucks & talking to the old school drivers, It really brings back alot of memories. The drivers & people in Truck stops & Parts houses etc, were just good people & looked out for one another.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Glad you like them, they're what I love for!

[@scottreed5460]

As busy and impersonal as I/we all imagine Mass and the northeast, we’re so impressed with the camaraderie and old school relationships, really cool. I consider myself to be an ‘old school’ driver. Been driving the same 92 Freightliner truck for 24 yrs. 400 big cam. Not the most powerful but runs like a sewing machine pulling 130k on a lowboy everyday… boy have times changed…!!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you very much, much respect to you.

[@scottpope162]

Great interview, true old school cool truck and trucker. Even the old Kenworth B model was old school cool.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@heavyhauler6172]

I’ve seen that truck around ..starting at 230 ain’t no joke

[@mikeyfiggs]

I used to live in Salisbury ma and started hauling live floor in that area mass, Maine,NH just like this guy,15 years ago this brings me back. I spent a lot of money at Berubes thank you for the vids

[@anthonyp7546]

Great interview. Not many old school trucks and truckers left.

[@michaeldalzell6670]

2 Gorgeous ol Rigs right there, slow an steady wins the race

[@troyplocinski8401]

Top notch video Mike. Awesome video, guy is a legend with that 359

You can do it!

[@dotcompliancegroup2196]

Good lookin truck and great interview! The old school trucks and truckers are a dying breed sadly.

[@nickd.4512]

Alan is a first rate good guy. Just a great personality and a great demeanor. Ive passed him in nh a few times. Maybe get a chance to actually meet him sometime. Great video trucker.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

No doubt!

[@billpackard7349]

I thought it looked like a Transcoastal. Great to know it's still on the road.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

You were correct

[@billpackard7349]

Old school out of Waterville, Maine. @@TheBostonTrucker

[@musiccitytransport]

Outstanding to hear about how Greymont got his start, and seeing Baby Blue running down the road.

[@hammers1518]

[@urcousinfromboston9052]

[@mikeglenn9800]

Been to Berubes and that truckstop. Always interesting trucks at Berubes shop. Nothing like a 359 Pete. Al's seems like a great guy, old school for sure. Thanks for the video, Mike.

[@scottpope162]

Can't wait to watch it, I'll have to cancel Valentine's Day dinner 😢!

What a nice guy.....another Great video Mike 👍(but I think I'd edit out the part about his anti-theft system)😆

[@rogerwestgate4724]

Anyone that watches mikes videos wouldn’t steal the truck anyway

[@jakem.6359]

@@rogerwestgate4724 good point 😆

[@TimBullins-f6r]

I also drove a few Pete's to drove a 359 with a Aerodyne KW sleeper and I got picked on pretty good for that to😅

[@rustyhook6723]

I've passed that gentleman a million times on the Na'Hampsha roadways and I always smile at the skinny bumper and the dual headlights and say "look at that old girl still working" Now I'll call her by name Baby Blue ! Nice work as always Mike

[@bojanmilankovic]

You don't see C block CATs all that often. very neat.

[@anthonyfrederick2188]

2million 800 thousand wow.thats alot of miles on that frame and drive train

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Oh yeah!

[@MrFitbikeco10]

Hope he keeps the small bumper forever

[@TheBostonTrucker]

It's been on there as long as I've known him.

[@peterfreeman3299]

Tookee Haynes was one of his drivers for a long time lives down the street from me

[@christrella3134]

Real Truckers don't always live in the truck, or go across country, or live in a southern area. Which is something you show on your channel quite a bit. It's a lifestyle just the same and often a family tradition and a passion that can be compared to farming, mining, commercial fishing and auto racing. All different occupations that have a above the norm level of dedication. It's in the heart and mind and the souls of those involved. Good video. Safe travels and God bless and peace and grease right back to you.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I love how you described it, thanks Chris as usual for your insight.

[@catdiesel7143]

Love you’re video interviews mike wish you would make more like that totally interesting 👍💯
