Big Rigs of the '90's

[@Pontiacman1964]

LMAO! The '90's are the new '70's. Yeah, that's when I began driving, 1994 with CRST. Thanks for sharing. I no longer drive trucks but miss some of the "unique" memories back in the '90's.

[@johnbeckman8916]

Nice. The view of the road must have been something special in those old COE's.

[@AyrBear1988]

thanks for sharing, miss the 90s paint jobs and when trucks were trucks, miss seeing the pet 379 and a kw-w900, miss the pet 359 from back in the day also miss hering the good old Detroit 2 cycle screaming down the road. still here some 60 series Detroit and lots of c15 cats

[@jonrogers4171]

I started out in a 1969 white/volvo cabover , w/ a 350 cummins & a 13 speed in 1980 ...drove that for a year ,,,,then graduated up to a 1982 KW w/ a 3406 E catapillar / and an 18 speed road ranger.........those where the days my friend .....

[@ronaldledgerton878]

[@markadoglet]

I love these Big Rigs, thanks for sharing with me.

More than welcome! Dave

[@straightouttajudah5479]

I feel like Im listening to a Fleetwood Mac song when I hear this tune and although I yet know how to drive one of these beauties, I feel like Im in the seat of one of these Cabovers, rolling coal down I-95 S bound.

[@AliensAnonymous]

With my Cabover International and a 48' trailer I could get into any dock, no sweat.

[@mikedecker4458]

Nice trucks back when we loved truckin. had a freightliner mid 90's. now driven just a paycheck.

[@chickey333]

Thanks so much for the slideshow. Lottsa memories.

[@mitchbennett6019]

Started in 1991 with my dad. I was 22. ...”Cabover Pete with the reefer on”....that was us....fancy paint jobs.... big radios.... no computers.... no gps.... great truck stops...some states still did not really have a DOT presence yet because they had not figured out what a cash cow it was to harass truckers ......it was an all-around better time...better people and better jobs... better treatment ...you were respected.... and now you are just idiot behind the wheel being treated like crap and underpaid..... we didn’t know how good it was.

[@AJDeere]

All them peterbilt quad horns oooooohhhh

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Sweet assortment! I know trying to fit in to a Super Liner was like a fat gal wallering a girdle but I still liked them, especially with the V-8's!

[@SmartTrucking]

God,lol. Hey, we've got one guy that writes in who's handle is "Josh Super Duty". Die hard Mack fan. When we put in Mack pictures they're to keep him happy!

[@chromediesel444]

[@arayabuchichi3798]

90’s Kings 🤴 of the roads yeehaw 🤠

[@infernal9029]

Rubberducks looks like we got ourselves a convoyyy!

[@24819984]

I run a 1987 Pete 377, 15sp with deep reduction and we do California without missing a heartbeat. I wouldn't trade my "Old Horse" for any new truck!! My boss pilots a 1990 KW w900 and his Dad an 1985 Pete 359......all of us have a Cat 3406b under the hood......."It ain't cool unless its Old School" 😉

[@SmartTrucking]

That's the way to do it!!! Dave

[@josephsanabria4400]

Love these videos brother!

[@bdailey8065]

All those nice rigs back n the day. All manual shift transmissions unlike nowadays with all the automatics going down the road smh!

[@bdailey8065]

Ahhh the good ol' days before elogs and driver facing dashcams smh...

[@chuckcollier8305]

very nice. I have a 1993 KW W900L I drive 600+- miles daily CAT powered 15spd 280"wb nice old girl. I ABSOLUTELY hate the new trucks.

[@SmartTrucking]

Had a 93 KW900L myself. It was a great truck. Dave

[@chuckcollier8305]

Smart-Trucking.com they sure don't make em like that anymore. thanks for the comment and I enjoy your channel.

[@johnconnors5963]

Wish I would have taken more pictures back in those days.

[@SmartTrucking]

Yeah,me too. I took some, but not enough. Dave

[@kevinrichards3288]

2:11 The BJ & the Bear semi

[@dane8876]

Great memories Dave. Remember them well. Truckin when it was trucking. Who is the music in the video. Great peaceful sounds

[@kevinrichards3288]

2:21 Damn the nose on that tractor is long. It's gotta be hard to make turns & maneuver in that thing, especially when you're pulling a trailer.

[@cowboykody6775]

You didnt "mess" it up, lol . Messing up is putting in a 1946 Corbitt :)

[@AJDeere]

In my opinion 90s rigs looked best

[@LS98G]

Dave what is your view on the Kenworth Icon 900, and Peterbilt 389 Pride and Class.

[@SmartTrucking]

I say buy them if you can afford them, I don't know how much longer they'll make long hood trucks. Dave

[@farmallskittle]

Smart-Trucking.com I think as long has heavy haul companies still exist long noses will still exist

[@calebbrehm3328]

Have you ever watched smokey and the bandit

[@SmartTrucking]

Yes I have! Dave

[@michaelvrooman5681]

All petes and KWs. Where are the rest of the trucks?

[@rollthedice54]

No Western Star?

[@cowboykody6775]

The coe Pete at :12-:14 isnt from the '90,s more like a '78-'81

[@SmartTrucking]

You're right, we messed that up. Dave

[@erniebellinger3904]

What is the name of that song and who is playing it

[@SmartTrucking]

People keep asking me that. I'm going to have to find out. Dave

[@redwing1273]
