The golden days of trucking, and I was there! Drove from 69 to 89 until doctors pulled me out of my truck & off the road. That day was one of the worst days of my life but I've got enough memories to last a lifetime. They called me High-Gear...

The Average Quiz : I have a feeling you would've loved it. To be sure, driving back then had it's ups & downs but for the most part the good outweighed the bad by a long shot. Sadly you young drivers today will never understand the freedom & independence we had..it was a different world back then, and lord did we have fun...

The men and women that drive Peterbilts and Kenworths are what keeps America going. For without such men and women, our country stops period. God bless them all.

Man I work at my buddy's shop, we got us a beautiful 86 Pete tandem dump. Real pretty blue. We got her running good, put some jakes on the old B model cat. Pretty chrome stacks. Boy she ran and was pretty. Sold it for twice the price we got it. She still works everyday. I felt humble to work and drive the old girl.

The good old days, long gone just a fading memory now. I caught the arse end of it here in Australia running between Melbourne & Adelaide between 1989 & 1995. Speed limiters came in 1990 onwards & those Perth runners hammer down once they crossed into SA in the middle of the night. 180 kilometers of single lane from the border to Tailem Bend, not even a overtaking lane. Everyone respected the call on the CB for overtaking it was a matter of life & death. No accidents, no boring drive, no mobile phones, 3 different licence, no point to point cameras, no seat shakers, no camera on you & no auto box. 425 hp was king, V8 Mack's doing 100 mph on the flats. I can go on & on & on. Love this video reminds of those long lost days when it was simple. Thank you for uploading 👍

The funny thing is I knew all the hands in this video and even the shoeshine man. Big Jackie was well known and did your boots proudly. Ran with Special K and YO, YO and both were fun to run with more than once or twice. Like all drivers who ran together, we could tell stories about each other. I remember that race as it was the talk of the road and when it happened I was on the west coast doing a turnaround. I had a black 359 1978 Pete with a 3408 in it and Mississippi was still 73,280 pounds gross weight up till 1982 and Tenn would write you up for being 55'2 length and not 55'. $121.00 for those two inches. All changed when the 48' trailers came out and then if you had one it didn't matter your length more or less. Trucking back then was fun and hard at 9-15 cents a mile or 20% grows and all the miles you wanted to run. If you run the 20% grows you can bet that truck would run over 100 miles per hour and you were told you had better do it or find another job. A lot of the old truck makers are no longer like Brockway, FWD, and others like Ford CL 9000 who made one hell of a truck before their time with the air ride cab. A little note on: Special K, was known to sandbag with his truck and do and say some of the funniest things. YO, YO was a hoot and made some real colorful remarks to you after she got to know you. One hand I remember she told him he had a cute ass and fit those jeans just right. As an afterthought, she said, Pony you know your ass is alright too. (Or something to that effect) She could talk trash with the best of them.
