My trip to "The Big Iron Classic"

I've been wanting to come to Kasson, Mn. for many years and I'm so glad I finally made it! The Big Iron Classic didn't disappoint. I can't wait to come back!

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Now this is one show that your tongue automatically flops out, jaw drops, eyes bulge & your breathing gets faster! From all that eye candy, I don’t see how it wouldn’t happen! And then you have the diesel fumes! I’ve said this before…”You can take the man out of the truck, but you can’t take the truck out of the man.” I love all the lights at night, the moving action & those engines purring! My faves are the cabovers & especially the single axle cabovers! OooooWeeeee! Actual, I love just about all single axles. There’s something about a single axle that kind of takes my breath away. I like the newer trucks, but those old trucks just really grab my attention! The one truck looked like a Federal, but I didn’t see the nameplate on it. There were lots of unusual trucks there! Thanks for sharing! Worth staying up late for! Blessings.🥰🤩✌️

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Definitely worth the trip, just some good down home people and their working trucks.

@@TheBostonTrucker 🇺🇸People taking Pride in their Ride! Good stuff!🥰😎✌️

Love watching your content. I was brn in Ludlow and grew up inSpringfield and Wilbraham. Spent many a summer on my Uncle Noerms poultry farm, Lawtons Whiterocks, in Foxboro. His father ran the feed store @ Baystate Raceway, loved to go vistit gramp. Now in Pa. Came down here to work for M&G Convoy in 1970 and heve been here ever since.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Great to hear from you Richard! I love your long history, not aware of MGconvoy.

[@mikeglenn9800]

Fantastic video Mike, so many unique beautiful trucks. Thanks Mike.

[@briangunter4038]

I'll tell ya nothing like seeing a stainless refrigerator trailer at night on the other side of the highway with the streetlights shining of it if it's clean!! Well I like seeing it not sure maybe I'm nuts lol

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Dude you ain't kidding 😁

[@erichb4021]

Right on Brother Trucker! nothing like Streaking thru the night with Chicken light,s everywhere streaking thru night sky. At one time we use to all run together going thru the desert of California or Arizona and only the first and last truck would run there light,s it would look like a big freight train goin down the road.

[@ndirt2512]

I spoke with you briefly Saturday and you snapped a pic with me, my name is Nick. I find some common ground with you now knowing you drove for Bud Meyer. I am 43 and when I was 17 I washed trucks at the Union 76 truck stop in South St. Paul. Me and the guys would always fight to get the Bud Meyer trucks because you guys always gave great tips if we did a good job. Now I daily drive a 1985 W900 that I converted into a true HD quad axle dump truck. It was cool seeing you at Big Iron, thank you.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I remember Nick. That's a really great story, I use to stop in the 76.

[@robertfournier3549]

another great job Mike. Thank you for sharing these beautiful rigs.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you Robert

[@ronracz9145]

GM Mike, man those are some beautiful trucks for sure. Well I’m finally converted into a 2022 W900L after 17 years of Peterbilts…. wish me luck and enjoy your day 👍👍

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks Ron, you'll be alright 😁

[@jamesmoore8269]

Mike- Was nice to meet you Friday in Kasson. The weather wasn't the best. At least it was cool. Midwest truckers know how to get the job done. Hope to see you next year. Peace and grease.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Lovely rigs and folks that drive them. But oh the night life! Cameras off after midnight. Wow...Unintended poem 34:20- The dog's like, "I'm right here! Hi! Not even an introduction? How rude! I know how to shake!"

[@peanut_trucker]

[@Unknown_Ooh]

It would be sick if at these truck shows there was a time everyone turns their trucks on at the same time and just see a giant cloud of smoke lol

[@robertandreoli9764]

Mike like the cab overs

[@timbullins6852]

[@davidsuch5071]

COE for me

[@crazyhorse8508]

The late model blue peterbilt should not be in the video

[@lcatraz2919]

Good and beautiful trucks ... I'm very happy.! ... it's not our rusty Russian trough ... and there are no smart people in the country .. in mechanical engineering.КRAZ, Zil, GAZ, KAMAZ, URAL. (USA russian trucks)4 brands of trucks. ZIL of course died ...Yes, they have been copied. some components and bodies from American trucks. Exactly.. from American trucks.. I'm sure of it. Why does the Russian KAMAZ-5511 have a wheel from MACK. as well as the MAZ-200 truck are similar to the MACK-SH688.MAZ-500 (INTERNATIONAL). And they are all American

[@TheBostonTrucker]

👍👍
