Slideshow of old trucking companies.

[@Veetow-bu8yw]

OMG, this video made me smile and stir up many great memories from my past. As a retired long haul driver, I recognized most of those trucking companies who are long gone. Thanks for the memories 😁

[@BIGroadMusic]

Thank you! I enjoyed making it. I was just a kid when most of those old rigs rolled the highways. My dad drove for many years from the 50s on out, and I have been driving 35 years myself. I sure miss those old companies and equipment!

[@hotrodtrucker88]

yes I drove for the biggest part of 40 yeaars sad day they ae talking about

[@leediggs1398]

Almost brought me to tears I remember about 98% of those companies Those were the good old days where there weren't so much rules and regulations

[@douglasfeathers6062]

What's sad alot of these companies are no longer around

[@danielperry3008]

I drove for 3 of those outfits,diesel fumes,bad seats,long trips away from home, I'd do it all over again, great memories 😎

Gotta love the old cabovers, I learned to drive on a Mack Ultraliner in '91. Trucks nowadays have no character.

Used to load BRT and Newton with furniture and I remember when both companies went out. Plus I used to unload bed rails off Fredrickson and Consolidated Freight before they went out of business also. Plus the furniture company that I used to work for loading and unloading these four companies are gone now as well. Plus I remember seeing several of the other companies trucks on the road back when I started driving trucks. Sadly yellow just went out of business last month. The rest either went out or got gobbled up by the bigger companies. New subscriber. Loved the video.

There it is at 2:51, the green Mack. I drove for Smiths for 14 years and almost 2 million miles. The green "no stack Mack with a window in the back". Made excellent money, but ARA industries bought us out and skimmed off all the money and shut us down. After that, I became an O/O and drove another million miles pulling a flatbed. Retired now for a long time, but I sure miss those days.

[@BIGroadMusic]

Is that the actual tractor? Or one just like it... I remember Smitty,, Snuffy Smith running up and down 81 back in the day. Outta Staunton VA I believe...

I drove for Many years for Ploof Truck lines out of Tampa Fl ,Ploof was based out of Jacksonville Fl ,Was a Huge company ...Flatbed hauling construction materials ,mostly Sheetrock ,,The original Founder and Owner "Mr Ploof " started the company in 1912 pulling wagons by Mule and horses ,When the first Big Trucks came out he bought one and hauled enough freight to afford another truck and employ another driver ,And the company grew from there ...In 1999 Old man Ploof gave the company to his stepson Danny Copland And Danny within a year ran the company into the ground and into bankruptcy ...Cypress Truck lines bought Ploof out and Ploof faded into history ,,,,Today you can look all over the Internet and you're lucky if you find 1 picture of a Ploof truck ,,It was like Ploof never existed and just faded from the face of the earth ,,Just Gone ,, They were a Good company to drive for at the time

There’s few pictures out there of the two largest Canadian carriers in that era, CP Express and Transport and all those carriers under the CN umbrella like Husband Transport Limited HTL, Cronin Transport CT, Toronto Peterborough Transport TPT, Midland Superior MS and Provincial Tank Lines PTL. My Dad’s best friend drove for PTL for 18 years until their ending, and before that for TPT in the Sixties.

I wish I were around for the glory days. I got my cdl in 92 as it was coming to an end. I've heard stories of the camaraderie of truckers. Seems pretty cutthroat out there now. Anyhow, still give the lights when passing. With or without the comeback. Keep on truckin!

[@King5150Ed]

The entire world and every business is cutthroat anymore

[@muffs55mercury61]

The trucks might not have been anything more than a simple rig with no comfort or power options (linehaul trucks usually had AC but not the city ones) but some of these were good paying union jobs so that didn't really matter. I started driving a few years before deregulation set in and thus remember some of these very well.

[@bertgrau3934]

I started driving in April 1978, I started out on a dump truck, then moved up to a tractor and dump trailer. From there went to a refrigerator trailer. ( hated those) (4 years) then dry box.
