when they filed this episode and had to get the footage in Durham I was a little kid and this was one of my favorite shows and we got to see the truck at the Union 76 truck stop

[@sonnypruitttrucking]

Really!!! Wow that is so cool! What a great memory :) That would have been so cool for me as a kid. I always wanted to be a truck driver because of this show.

Never saw sll the episodes, this here's a "good un" as we used to say back home. Thanks for posting.

[@redironproductions5579]

I can definitely see people dashing home to see this, worth watching really great show!

[@danfarris135]

Me in 1974 running to the mailbox to get the new tv guide and looking through it every week and hoping that there might be a rerun episode of Movin On. Sadly disappointed every week. Me today all the episodes at my finger tips. 😁

I still got the Model of this truck i built many years ago. Painted it the same colors as this truck in thee show.

[@sonnypruitttrucking]

I can’t remember if I had a model, but have been seeing some kits around on the internet. I do remember having a remote control semi truck with a trailer , don’t think it was the Movin’On colors though. Was fun to practice backing up the trailer lol, now I get to practice in American Truck Simulator :) but still not good at backing up from only the inside the cab view though.

[@paulbrown8370]

That is the easy part. If you were driving with me, you would have no problem at backing up. The first time i looked at the trailer behind me, i was scared also, but that got real easy if you know what your doing. Always try to back from the sight side { Your left side of the truck}.

This is how I want to start my weekend! Thanks S.P!

[@DAVYMAC]

Right on brother SONNY!

[@caseyj.1332]

Great show. Back when everybody smoked and nobody wore seatbelts...and the world was generally a better place than it is today

[@terryanderson8932]

This show is what made me want to drive a truck when I was 6 years old and I do drive now since 1990 it will be 34 years march 2024. 😊 love it still today

[@sonnypruitttrucking]

Wow that’s cool! This show also made me and what sounds like a lot of others want to drive a truck too, but you and some other’s, here actually did it! :) congratulations on your 34 years! I only drive a virtual Kenworth W900 in an American Truck Simulator Virtual Truck Company, called Sonny Pruitt Trucking, and my truck is painted like Sonny Pruitt’s :) It’s the closest I’ve gotten to driving a truck ☹️

My Dad was one of the “bad guys” that jumped out of the van towards the end of the show….he was a Raleigh fireman and he said someone walked in the fire station asking for mean-looking people for a show they were filming over in Durham and he signed up!

[@sonnypruitttrucking]

@@BarryBowling-n8e wow!!! Haha that’s so cool!

[@albob1775]

Sony broke the golden rule check your truck out when switching drivers. If he was pulling a reefer back then you would have gotten out to hit the manual defrost button.

[@robertthorpe2455]

Great show kw is mean liked show as a kid to

[@paulbrown8370]

It is a hell of a fever, to grind those gears, I did it for years.

[@ericjackson9256]

[@cbsundance]

The official Movin'On museum is located in Durham just a few miles from Page road where this episode was filmed in August 1975.

North Carolina is FAR AHEAD of America, When it comes to racial harmony. North Carolina, especially the Charlotte area , is an example of God's love, in action.

[@sonnypruitttrucking]

Wow, what a great episode! :)

[@lawnmowerman2199]

Thank you, thank you!!!

Life's really weird, i see the twin towers and thought Claude Aubrey Akins left died when they were intact, if he knew what became of those towers, he would never believe, the way the seem so formidable
