NYC! Hunting for the Past Again!

[@robertmilici1482]

Hello. I just watched your Video in New York Great Video. I would like to give some History on The Island Transportation terminal there. My Dad help start up thst company in the late 50s early 60s in Westbury,New york Im 74 years old now and was about 13 14 years old when I started going with him. The entire fleet was Mack b- 61 6 wheel tractors even a few h model can overs. The owner had the money and my dad had the trucking brains behind it my Dad started up the Carterat terminal on nj in 1965 he was ther until 1970 had a heart attack and became his dispacher. Never let me become a driver. Wanted me to be a laywer. Go figure. Oh well. I hope you write back. I got a lot of storys to share

[@jerryaltadonna5462]

[@mh-tn3ic]

Nice video Mike. But watching this from my living room is as close to that city is as I ever what to be again.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

🤣😁

[@geraldriopelle2044]

Mike you missed your calling, you should have been a tour guide! Way to much traffic, and way to many people for a old guy from ND. Thanks for taking me along! Happy New Year!

[@Cumminspower365]

All those areas you went through I run my T880 kw through I have been at it for coming up on 34 years and also bay crane keeps all their trucks in Hicksville in Nassau County and island transportation has a giant yard in west Babylon in Suffolk County

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Oh okay gotcha 👍

[@mmmemgggg617]

My dad worked for Plymouth Rock back in the 70s.

[@PeteLipski]

We enjoyed the video Mike. Pastrami and eggs...good stuff !! Only seen it in Ny-Long Island. Was that a Peterbilt sticker on the back of your car ???

[@lostrailbeds8289]

OK! At 5:07....the Autocar sign! That's truck related Mike!

[@jsote1988]

D.S. is Also in Baltimore, Cool Video Trucker. Cool views of New York.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Yes that's right, use to go there too, mirrors almost touching the docks were so close together.

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show Mike 🍻 🇦🇺

[@thomassackett4091]

i did lots of produce runs to all 3 mkts....how about looking for KALETTA?BEEF In NJ,across GW,south on 17. They ran CO frieghtliners,with stainless reefers,all blue trucks. The company was known for big power Cummins 400,in the late 70's. thanks

[@mikeglenn9800]

Well that was certainly an interesting video. You sure know your way around New York. I'd be lost in an instant! Enjoyed the video, thanks Mike

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Interesting 🤣🤣, thanks pal 😉

[@francoismoreira1583]

Bonjour,thank you Very much for the vidéo 😍👌💪🏻🙏🇺🇸🇫🇷Happy new year,bonne année 2024

[@mlj6419]

Great video Mike. New York just hasn't been all that much fun since 2020. Glad you had the family experience.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you

[@josephlittle4119]

Very well done thank you 🙏

[@jimconnor8274]

Happy New Year.. Enjoyed the New York tour. A reminder why I would not take any loads into the city. Back in the late 60s I hauled lumber from Lake George,ny area to pier 39 in Brooklyn.

[@russelltrupia4479]

Thanks for the memories Mike👍👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

You're welcome

[@ignaziopassalacqua7795]

Great video mike. Nice to see you in my old neighborhood. Van street in Staten Island where your buddy kept his truck was a old trucking company called Frank Murphy and sons. They used to haul sheetrock for the United gypsum company that had a plant in Staten Island. As a kid we used to hang around there yard on Van street and play on the old trucks. They had old Mack chain drives and thermodynes from the fiftys.Those were the days. Good to see you out with the family.Happy holidays,peace and grease and keep on truckin.🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛.Iggy p

[@timothyfredericks8193]

There was another bad accident Christmas Day on 91 in Connecticut in Middletown

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Connecticut gotta be the most dangerous state to drive in.

[@johnapernorio8151]

Mike, I worked for Smith's Transfer in Seekonk, Ma. across from the Seekonk Speedway back in the 60's, 70's & 80's. On Route 6 was Smith's Transfer, Red Star then Plymouth Rock. Also, Yellow, Spector, Trans Con, and Shuster Express. Plymouth Rock handled a lot of textiles. Mike, I always say, those were the good days of trucking.

[@supertruckerbigO]

Yeeoo this is my city baby we out here we truck new york yo Bay Crane has the pete 379 version of the Bostontruckers W900 y’all have to see it is immaculate big big shot outs to that driver and Merry Christmas everyone 🙏🏾🎄

[@GhettoWagon]

Member the Kosciuszko used to be steel grate.. VRRRRRRR sounds . Ya now NYC has all speed and red light cams allover the place is crap now big change after not going through that mess anymore for years.. Oh yea On Kent was the old Dominoes sugar place. Think they are trashing it and making it into more yuppie urban sprawls . I was looking up Sugar in the Raw and Sweet n Low they are on Cumberland street Not sure if Dominoes sugar even operates in NYC anymore

[@JeremyBurnette-g1u]

Awesome video Mike. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family had a great time. Happy new year friend.

[@carldrexler7883]

Kent ave took you down to the Schafer brewery but they moved out of Brooklyn in 75 . The sugar house was at the foot of columbia st in Red Hook I think it was National. I haven’t picked up there since the early 70s

[@chrisbergmann2379]

What memories! 15 years milwackee to lower Manhattan 23rd street n ave of the americas time sensitive jewelry catalogs for the newspaper. Off load on the street of course and jump around the bouroughs n reload back to milwackee. Miss it all the time!

[@christophermeyers2687]

Nice video beautiful family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Boston trucker 2024😊

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Happy New Year!

[@wildbill1833]

Nice tour Mike appreciate that

[@Graveltrucking]

I couldn't live in NY city too many people I'm not into big city life I've been raised in rural. I liked watching the drive around and the walk about 👌

[@DavidCinelli7815]

Great video. The NY skyline is awe inspiring. I drove in 4 of the 5 boroughs.

[@lennymiller9308]

Domino's is up in Yonkers now ,,, good one Mike

[@billstoltz7203]

Have A happy. New year. From.William. S

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Happy New Year!🥳

[@thomasgrider6697]

I just think it's pretty cool seeing that part of the country..the big cities..the old historical buildings..all of those homes unique in their own way..pretty awesome..👊😎

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you

[@carldrexler7883]

Nice to see the streets of Brooklyn again thanks 😊

[@tater_relocater]

Strolling peace and grease . Have a happy new year 🎉 Mike

[@russellspawn7123]

I enjoy doing the same thing... Checking out what things look like now compared to 30 years ago. Another great video. Happy New Year!!

[@davoid96]

i'm from Long Island and my dad is a dump truck driver in the city, I have so many awesome memories of going to work with him.

[@frankpeavy4538]

Thanks for the tour of Times Square. Pretty sure that is close as we're going to get.😂

[@christrella3134]

The City on the holidays and weekends is definitely different. Especially if the weather is nice. Everyone gets out of town if they can. That's fantastic you're showing the inside of the neighborhood. The yards and gates and flower beds.

[@robertroderick3888]

I really enjoyed this video, a stroll down memory lane. The problem now a days is nobody cares about the past as they are chasing the future, Without a past there would be NO future. Keep up the great job in mixing the past, present and future. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@65patr]

I was following you a bit. I bring industry water trailers to all the NYPA’s. One was one Kent ave. Nice video, I enjoyed it.

[@robertberling5006]

Nice video Mike. Glad to see you and family out, your daughter looked like she was having a good time. Be safe, Happy New Year to you and your family

[@lostrailbeds8289]

I ran for Grand Union out of Mount Kisco NY back around '82 to '84...Metro NYC and CT and lower Westchester county. Did 1 store in Manhattan...in or around Harlem area. Nights. I absolutely HATED it! Did Hunts Point once, which was 1 time too many! No offense meant to any city drivers, but I was meant for country back woods mountain roads! Haha! Great story telling/ reminiscing Mike!

[@frankbroker3698]

You're so close...go grab you some Junior's Cheesecake! We get some every time we visit from SoCal!

[@gregfarnsworth5011]

Mike you really need to do some truck spotting in out back Australia . 👍

[@Solitaryman70]

BT-Express, I thought you had more subscribers than Dauminique, BTW, when you were up there driving her Rig, that was classic at the end when you filmed her driving away; it really showed how sharp her equipment really is. Question 🙋‍♂️? If your wife and daughter were with you, why did you eat breakfast alone at that restaurant? Just Curious.

[@christrella3134]

We USED to deliver boxes of paper to a place in Cadmen.Plaza for the Wisconsin Paper Group. They'd unload most of the trailer and leave me a couple stops in NJ. I was working for Decker Transportation in Riverdale NJ.

[@joewood1335]

That driving around and looking at companies I do also , see what the commute is like when or if I hear back, went to check out a boat ramp that I could see from the northway near the Adirondack welcome center and passed cranesville block which I applied to not that specific yard but it was cool to see what they’re running all I saw were kenworth rear load , guess the front load around here is phasing , palette still runs them

[@bobthetruckerguy5770]

Wow this brought back some memories. Been a long time since I've been in that neck of the woods. Can't say I miss it, but was cool to see. Thanks for the video!

[@DavidCinelli7815]

Ive been away, but im guessing the Manhatten bridge is a free entry into Manhatten from brooklyn???

[@arigross9864]

Yes yes I run the B Q E 6 days a week 5:00 a.m. till 10 pm it's a parking lot

[@TheBostonTrucker]

God bless you man 🙏👏😁

[@maxschimminger1553]

I have to say your a trip when you do a video but there really good. Even tho it's the city I enjoyed it your family was awesome they looked like they had a good time with you and that's what it's all about. Keep up the great work. When do you get your new truck ?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you. In the next couple months.

[@wildbill1833]

Hope you had a nice Christmas Mike

[@lostrailbeds8289]

(thanks for the "train" footage!!)

[@thebutchersdog200]

Great vid Mike .. I have to agree about the height markers. Why is that allowed? There’s useless govt at its best. When I first started running New York 30 yrs ago I remember running into that problem and getting all twisted up tryin to find another route. I was told they do that to compensate for snow, dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I never heard the snow thing before, I can't imagine that's why but very interesting theory.

[@jimturtle6223]

Dominos closed in Brooklyn years ago. Office and retail space now

[@MC-rr3ew]

Awesome christmas light set ups in the heights there!!

[@robertowens3657]

I was looking at your video said to myself I was at Domino's sugar back there use to haul sugar out of there when I was with national freight back in the 70s

[@JohnBaker-h8x]

Wow Mike u maid it out alive cool video how is your dad hope he's well happy holidays bro

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Dad's doing well thank you

[@kellykonoske91]

[@dannygreelish1120]

[@TheBostonTrucker]

[@heavyhauler6172]
