I believe you are 100% correct about social media and over the road driving. It’s not the same as it used to be. A lot of drivers don’t even have cb radios anymore which is an important part of trucking in many ways. It’s also become more about me, me, me instead of helping each other out!

[@gliderider7077]

Well said!

[@chrisharkins8708]

You hit the nail on the head. I'm not truckin' anymore due to my health. But the CB was a big part of truckin'. I still run a CB in my pickup. Some of the best conversations have been had on my CB. Just wished it was like when I was running and everyone had one in there truck. Glad to see you are keepin' it old school and still have one in your truck. And it's a KW the worlds best.. Had to say it. You mentioned about the new truck and the def system. Personally I would stay with the beautiful KW you have right now because I have heard a lot of bad about the new trucks with the regen. Just hope yours don't have any problems.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you, if it were my choice I'd drive this truck another 10 years but the new one will be a nice retirement truck for me hopefully.

[@geraldriopelle2044]

Good morning Mike! Coffee with the you on Saturday morning! Hopefully you are a good family weekend!

Very enjoyable video. Boston Trucker, you and the 717 Trucker from PA. show the real work and skill of a professional truck driver by getting in and out of tight places with backing skills.

[@tomchristopher71]

You're right on the perspective of the experienced drivers who will criticize the rookie driver before lending a helping hand. An automatic truck pays my bills and I love my local instate driving job. I drove manuals and automatics in the Army. If they were good enough for our country, they are good enough for me. You're "Famous" in a positive way!

I've been watching you since you had like 3,000 subscribers, anyone can drive up and down the interstate but what intrigued me about you was the places you had to back into, Plus I like the way you say blinka LOL

[@Grebig]

The company I drive for has been switching to automatic trucks. I was told that their goal is to be 100% automatic by the end of next year. I'm holding on to the manual as long as I can. I've met a few KZbin truckers in person over the past few years, and it was great to do so. Great video as always, Stay safe, and have a good one.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks, be safe out there.

[@christrella3134]

One of the guys I used to work with is still holding on to his KW 2015 vintage 800,000 miles on it. Local trucking. Says he's not going to give it up until he retires. He's 63. Maybe they'll let him go and keep it

[@Grebig]

@christrella3134 I'm currently driving a 2016 Mack Pinnacle. It has an Eaton Fuller 10 speed, has just over 472,000 miles. The past couple of months I was driving a 2018 Mack Pinnacle, it had just over 644,000. (That truck was driven primarily by a over the road driver before me). Holding on to the manual as long as I can.

Can we place bets on the new truck: Delivery date, First load date, First “ check engine light” date, first “parked re-gen” request date”, first “de-rate” warning on dash date,. After treatment is fun and keeps service departments busy and raises employment.

Sounds like a great way to make some side income!👏😁👏

Mike, another great video. It was nice meeting you in Scarborough at the truck show. I hope you enjoyed the Hannaford hat. I see where you threw me in your video. That was funny. Happy trucking.

[@bigty3030]

As a new driver (11 mos) coming from sales industry, I wave to every dump truck I go by. Just want to make as many connections as I can. Never know when you’ll catch up with them and they’ll remember you as the guy in (insert truck) who always waves. Just moved from driving in NH to MA and actually saw you driving on RT2 going west as I was going east. I waved at you however you were looking in the opposite direction 😂

[@TheBostonTrucker]

That's fantastic! You have the right attitude my friend.

[@christrella3134]

It's so different from the 70's early 80's. Most people don't have the choice in transmissions. The truck shows attract alot of us who drove the trucks in the shows. Some people might want to look at the company's that aren't around anymore. DEF? Don't run out. If you do get really low? Put a couple gallons of spring water in the tank . The yellow engine light will come on, and you'll lose some power, but make it back to the yard. Our shop foreman taught us that afew years into the DEF thing. It's 75% water. But not distilled water or tap water which has chlorine in it.

[@PeteLipski]

Another good one Mike !! What does the alcohol do for the aluminum ?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Cleans it beautifully and I feel like it gives it a nice shine after but it does evaporate quick when it's hot so you have to spray and wipe fast.

[@PeteLipski]

Thanks I will have to try that .

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Always good to see what you are doing & that you’re enjoying the trucking life. A NEW truck…hope to hear more about it. What was ordered for you…KW, Mack, Pete? I’m not much of an automatic semi guy, but I wouldn’t turn an automatic down. It has its place in those tight city runs. The worst thing about the new trucks is the crazy DEF units! Most of the guys I know don’t care at all about it! There will be a day where one of your fans asks you to pull over for a quick chat. If I catch you out there, you know I will do that!! Just keep it REAL & don’t forget where you came from. It’s about time for me to get back on my truck…many lug nuts to break loose & brakes to unstick. Blessings my friend.🥰🤩✌️

Great video mike as always just wondering how come you never hear a back up alarm or does the camera just not pick it up

I definitely make friends running down the road striking up conversations on the CB more than at the counter these days. Also, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn about DEF… and the awesome sensors.

[@wesleythompson4520]

I’m really enjoying the videos. I have 5 years hauling 4 axle lead trailer. Also plenty of OTR miles. Does your company require you all to clean your truck’s or is it just your preference? Nice work ethic! Keep the videos coming….

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I'd love a longer trailer like I had Boston Bark but yeah, we go in a lot of tight places so it wouldn't make sense. Getting dirty is part of the deal but I'm always thinking ahead to when and how am I gonna clean this mess.
