Interview Peterbilt Pete

[@ilovecattletrucks4802]

Whether y'all doubt if I speak English or not...What really matters is if the person that is being interviewed understands me.English is my second language.Dutch is my first language.I can do it in Dutch or French or German next time but I think the person being interviewed won't understand me.My apologies..I am trying my best for all of y'all to understand me.

[@ilovecattletrucks4802]

@Ken Adair Pete Robinson understood me and that is the most important thing in this interview.

Frank Frazier Jr. I learned how to run sticks from Pete, back in 87. I bought a 81 359 with a 6x4 had to ask him how to run the damn thing home, took about a hour an was on my way. Ol Pete sure got a kick outta me driving that 359 to his place at 15mph.

Wow, that was the highest of compliments Mr. Robinson payed you. He thanked you, expressed appreciation for your interview and if that wasn't enough, he said we all appreciate you, speaking of all the cattle haulers. I love that, because you deserve it and I can't imagine how good that makes you feel. You are greatly respected by some of the best people this world has to offer...

I love hearing stories from the ol drivers. They have lots to offer still....even at 72 or 82. My brother is 82 and still driving. Nice ol KW. Would love to hear the truck run as well. Quite a good looking rig. He seems to be a good ol feller. Porter Dude of Ohio.

[@fredbeverage9269]

Pete Robinson is one of the great ones in the Cattle Hauling Industry. He is not cocky, mouthy, or nasty. I always enjoy seeing Peterbilt Pete, although in today's world about the only time I get to see Pete Robinson, Mark Smith, Bobby Parker or Brooks Carroll is at the Cow Haulers Roundup. It is a one day event so you have a lot of cow haulers to visit with in a short period, so you need to start early and talk fast or you won't get to see them all.

[@frankfrazierjr.3216]

Hey Fred. How are you feeling? I'll try to call you sometime this week.

[@gunnyu.s.m.c8606]

hell yeah!! I missed it after I joined the Marines, a lot of things changed while I was gone, one thing that will change, a good hand rolling the hood over checking everything, fires his ride up, as the cats warming up, after everything is good, then it's time to roll, it's a dam good feeling being back home, and doing the second best in life, hauling cattle and being the best of the best, not brag just facts! may the wind be at your back, the moon and the stars shine bright all thru night, the sun shines bright all thru your day, may you travels bring peace, prosperity for you and your family, awesome video, my compliments sir

There is no “school” gonna ever come close to teaching you the knowledge that the old school men can I’m glad I was lucky enough to learn from a few! Keep that rubber on the ground drivers! Happy trails!

Peterbilt Pete is not JUST a bull Hauler , he's a LEGEND . Dad knew him we sometimes would cross paths in Big Springs @ Rip Griffin's truck stop or @ The Merkel Circle . I was a kid ( 9 or 10 ) ridin w/ Dad the storeys were priceless . Thanks for the memories couldn't quit smiling . Got to get in " red oval large car" the girl's are loaded up on bus better get m on down the road . Thanks again GREAT video .

[@Rico19735]

Much respect to Mr pete,I could sit and listen to him tell stories all day,I grew up in trucking. My dad and grandfather were truckers!

[@frankfrazierjr.3216]

Frank Sanders. You made a real classic here. If you go out to the west to Brownwood, Texas and interview Alfred Elwiss. He was Pete's Brother in law for a long time. And go farther west on Hwy 90 to Valentine. And get an interview with Red Brown. And a few more. There are still a few left around. But you don't want to wait to long a time. You want to keep up your great job of maintaining your integrity. And if you want, Fred Beverage and I can introduce you to some good people. Frank, in just my opinion, you're doing a great job. And I'm sure Fred would be willing to help thanks

[@ilovecattletrucks4802]

I am trying to get as many people in front of my camera as possible..The only problem is...time

[@artsanchez4756]

I’d like to get in touch with Alfred. I worked with him for about 10 years. Haven’t seen or heard from him in 15 years. He and my dad were good friends growing up in Chama, New Mexico. He always like telling the story about when my dad was gonna bust him out of jail.

Legends like this inspire me so much to better myself to hurry and get my own! Happy early 73rd Birthday Buddy may God continue to bless you and your family.... “CW2, Country Western 2 Step” LoL I love this guy!!

[@LLAHTI1]

Absolutely wonderful video! Most people have no idea of what truckers do. He is a living legend to all of us old time truckers , that there is great people in a tough job, that just want to make a decent living, but where the DOT and every body else wants to regulate trucking out of existence, in the name of $afety.

[@teresaorr5609]

I have known Pete since the days I drove for Sonny Campbell out of El Paso, TX. Boy, were those the days!! We had big, pretty, and fast trucks for those times. Cattle were plentiful; the National Herd numbered over 130 million head of cattle. Today it is less than 90 million; we had 40 million more cattle to haul. We mostly had triple deck trailers as most of the cattle were small. They went mostly to pasture, so we got to haul them again coming off of pasture. There never was a dull moment with Pete around; between him and Jerrell Lee Haberer, they kept me in constant trouble; trouble I didn’t mind getting into. El Paso in the fall and winter time was a mecca for cattle trucks, due to Mexican cattle crossed and went to all places, mostly CA and AZ. The summer time we hauled out of Florida, Lakeland, Zolfo Springs, Wachula, Okeechobe, Zephyr Hills and other places; now there’s some stories!! Those cattle went mostly to TX Panhandle and CA. From El Paso Truck Terminal to Miami, FL was 2000 miles one way. We were making about 8 cents a mile, running single, running double, first driver made 6 cents, 2nd driver made 5 ½ cents. Joe Horn and I ran for 40 days and 40 nights one time, and the only time we stopped any amount of time was to get the oil changed. We ran over 42,000 miles and never came into El Paso; mostly FL to all parts. If you want stories, attend the Cow Haulers Reunion in Cranfills Gap, TX, the first weekend in March. You will not be disappointed. Those days have passed and I do not think we will ever see them again! Pete is a legend and I am proud to call him my friend. The old timers are fading fast, 5 per year, and it won’t be long before we are just memories. God Bless all Bull Haulers Johnny Orr - Another bulled up Pill Hauler!!

[@StonedPony1]

You remember Florida Beef Producers outside Pensacola, FL just north of Milton, Fl? Ran for Ronny Golden back then and hands today would not believe or understand how we drove trucks with no AC, Power Steering, or sleeper in some trucks. Drove a Mack with a 300 in it and thought I had hit the lotto by the way it pulled. It sure beat the Cummins 220 hands down. Had a friend drive for Sonny and he said it was the best job he ever had.

[@markivey255]

How many of those 42,000 miles were you backing up

[@teresaorr5609]

@@markivey255 Backing up miles don't register right on the speedometer.

[@Serpentor88]

This reminds of my old trucker buddy named dale garner who ran back in the 80s his cb handle was just passing through. He drove a black 359 with a 4 and a quarter cat. He stopped one time in Louisiana doing 125 in a 55 by a state bear on thanksgiving. I would love to hear more stories from you. My dream was to drive a cattle pot, but I got diagnosed with a super rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease in 2012. Im 33 and I’ve been disabled for a decade. I haven’t been in a truck in 11 years.

That's the most open question I've ever heard put to Pete about his sense of humor, Frank. I had tp stop the tape and write this before he came back to answer. You put him and Brooks Carrol, Roger Wylie and Polar Bear when he was alive. That would outdo Johnnu Carson, Foster Brooks, Dean Martin and any other two professional comedians like Tommy Joe and Clyde Ray. Great interview Frank. You picked one of the all time greats. Thanks.
