Trucker Vlog Part 1: All Talk...No Action!

[@djl2519]

Keep these coming!!!! I'm on a National Guard deployment right now it takes me back. Been watching your videos for years. Rubber side down Mike, safe travels brother.

[@3406e]

I could listen all day, I came up of the same upbringings

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Not a bad way to grow up. 👊💯

[@musiccitytransport]

It’s horrible at the truckstops. People flying in the lot, driving behind you when you are backing, taking breaks at the fuel island. The old school etiquette is gone. Some of the older truckstops still keep the old way going strong though. I still love driving my truck all over the country though.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Thanks, Mike👍👍👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Glad you enjoyed it. 😉

[@ronthompson3525]

Thanks Mike for telling like it is

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Just one man's opinion 😉

[@TheWoodButcher86]

Love hearing you tell them stories Mike. I hope to get my CDL this coming year and run LTL possibly if i can.

[@rpier8357]

Mike a snob, that’s bananas. Mikes the nicest guy I’ve ever met

[@TheBostonTrucker]

👊💯🔥 thanks pal

[@johnsylvester6734]

Never met him! … ‘cept what I’ve seen on-line and he has always been a stand up guy. Let the haters, hate…. They are just miserable people and are only happy when others aren’t!!!

[@3406e]

Cat stopped in 2010 when they did those accert compound “twin turbo” setup on the c-15 to retain under emmision law. They kept failing and cat gave up on it. That’s what everybody says. Even caterpillar is sick of emissions

[@allenthomas1622]

Love the stories !!!

[@jasongratton4343]

Mike, the name was the forbes diner in New Haven. The diner is now a Dunkin, go figure.😂 I work at the fuel terminal right there in the harbor. Trucking has changed so much since those days. Love the content brother.

[@geraldriopelle2044]

Thanks Mike! This is how I get to know who you really are!

[@georgewilson1184]

Yeah I use to love when my Dad would stop by the house when I was a wee tyke usually pulling a flatbed for some steel company he drove Diamond Ts & White 9000 and some internationals that big Diamond T was awesome the company logo was a big Red E with the shape of Illinois Eureka Cartage Cicero Illinois

[@rustyhook6723]

Good morning Mike, you triggered a memory a while back ( pretty common when you go down memory lane) anyway I’m pretty darn sure I remember your New Century truck. and or others being parked by the IHOP and hotel in Brighton ? The first several years at Yarde (07-12 ) I would pass by there going from Allston/Brighton to Watertown.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

That was me! I lived on the otherside of the Pike on Riverview Rd and would leave my truck at IHOP, I could walk there.

[@scottolson4865]

Yeah a red bug shield with some “spaghetti” pin striping. Dane Nelson is just a quick email or phone call away 😜 I’ve seen some pretty neat looking shorter ones too.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Dane's got some pretty awesome designs!

[@glindabeaven6805]

Art Bell and dont forget about Charlie Douglas's

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Yes sir those are the ones.

[@flyingpaddy7525]

You can still find good conversation in the the truck stop. Sit up at the lunch counter and just interact. The Audio book library was great in the TA’s back in the day. You picked up a book on tape listened to it and dropped it in at another TA wherever and got another book there. ELD’s are just another part of trucking , another pain in the ass forced on us but you can bitch or make it work for you. The Mega carriers have really created a bunch of steering wheel holders with micro managers instructing them in every aspect of their day. Where to park, how many gallons to put in here or there. I had a Qualcomm when I started with Millis Transfer in 98’ . It was a tool , a guide so to speak but your day to day running was left up to you. When you had to do some sketchy stuff you disconnected the pod at the back of the sleeper. They knew what you were doing but many of the office staff were ex drivers and knew the score. Again it’s just different times and time waits for no man. Enjoy your Thanksgiving when you get to it.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I appreciate your assessment and telling it like it is out there now.

[@georgewilson1184]

Bill Mack and Fred Sanders and the midnight road gang WSM clear channel Nashville TN

[@EvanSlattery]

I think there’s a few issues people or society, technology, corporate greed driving government regulation. But I also think big companies make it attractive to people who see themselves forced to get into driving not necessarily wanting or proud of the profession. More than one time I have refused to tow a truck because there was human feces covering everything from the sleeper back.

[@3406e]

19:53 😂😂😂 THEY GOT SOFT HANDS !!!!

[@PeteLipski]

Was it Charlie Douglas and the road gang or Big John Trimble on the late night AM radio?

[@wadelevan1787]

Ohh yea baby, I’ll be there. Just gotta run this load of milk to the dairy first!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Sounds like a fun trip!

[@andrewraimondo6215]

[@billstoltz7203]

[@georgewilson1184]

[@Carsonsgaming203]

[@georgewilson1184]

Did you guys wear Knapp work boots being from Brockton

[@kevinwoods2031]

Those were the day's my friend.

[@coalminergroupie]

Are you talking about George Noori? I had that on every night, before that show it was “Ground Zero” with Clyde Lewis. Art Bell was the host of the show before Noori…can’t think of the name of the show though. Sign of age I suppose…

[@coalminergroupie]

Coast to Coast AM. Sheesh old lady…took me long enough

[@cousinit1844]

I like your humor, making light of plastic trucks is not making fun of a driver, too many thought and speach cry babies. Yes, Werner is the reason for the ELD, they were having to many accidents, I believe the govt was going to shut them down so they came up with the eld.

[@davidpfeiffer1933]

Wondered what happened to the video,I saw it was up went to get breakfast to enjoy it watching and poof! it was gone

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I pulled it, made a few changes, sorry about that.

[@johng1855]

Mike, were you double clutching😅 clutching

[@MrSizewise]

Heard a rumor about spraying Pledge on California Duster once in a while? Thoughts?

[@jamesjolly7406]

Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

[@danf3937]

Werner did that to level the playing field against small carriers and independents absolutly nothing to do with safety.. Dave Nemo Trucking Bozo pictures for youre mind was another channel

[@tater_relocater]

Wondered why you pulled the video. Some people got soft hands. Cat got caught cheating on emissions and couldn’t get it figured out , 2014 or so. Stopped on highway engines.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

That's kind of what happens when you push the envelope, I guess! Soft hands! 👋😂
