That was a vacation of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. I could listen to your vacation stories all day. Your not just a proud truck driver, your an amazing father, husband and all around human being. Thanks buddy.
Thanks for sharing you and your family’s experience in Israel! Enjoyed it very much! And it’s absolutely a must to take “pride in your ride!” I run a 20 year old Mack Granite and it gets washed way more than a lot of other trucks in my area. All the best, be safe and keep on trucking!
Great video Mike, it sounds as though you and the family had an amazing vacation. Thanks for a little bit of the personal side of your life. Stay safe out there
I really enjoyed your story’s from the trip. That’s a vacation your family will never forget! We’ve discussed going to MATS this year. If I make it I’ll definitely be looking for you. Be nice to meet you in person. Keep up the great work!
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Welcome back to the USA! I believe that was such a powerful trip for you guys. Making memories as they say! I’m sure you’re not ashamed of your heritage,for it’s a part of your life one way or the other. Share those experiences with your dad. That might really bless him. Many people I know have been to Israel, but I’ve never felt the desire to do so. My sense of protecting my family would want me to carry guns & ammo at all times! That’s my Hillbilly way! Thanks for sharing the pics. I think it was good to be a little out of your comfort zone…being stretched is usually a good thing. I tend to learn more when doing so. I bet you were excited to be back, right?! I’m like you, enjoying trucks so much. I have many good memories as a kid being around trucks & I can really appreciate the trucking life…good & bad. I’ve had several friends that appreciated my input on trucking. I hope to meet up with ya someday. The MATS may be too hard to get to this year, but I shall keep that in mind. Sorry about your trailer. I do like seeing your truck parked in a garage though. I have a cousin who worked with the deaf kids in Cincinnati for over 40 years. Blessings my friend!🥰😎✌️
I for one found your talk about your trip very interesting. I’d watch the videos too. Much like yourself I’m not very religious and might actually enjoy seeing it through the eyes of someone on the same page as me. My family isn’t Jewish… I’m not sure we’re anything really… but I do enjoy learning about other cultures and other parts of the world. PS I prefer a thumper to my foot 1. I get a better sound out of the thumper (I actually use a load bar these days). I feel like I can hear a low tire better that way, and 2. So I can keep my kicks clean. Lol. Happy Trails!
Glad you had a good trip mate, good to see you back. A rubber mallet makes a good tyre checker as well. As for the job, well I wish I was moving to Boston, but for the moment I'll have to stay in Australia.
@@TheBostonTrucker Thanks mate, love the videos. Keep up the good work, very cool. Like the Scania t-shirt too. Great trucks, my brother owned three Scania's over the years.
As usual great video mike glad to see you had a good trip with the family and made it back home safe and i highly doubt youll loose any subscribers it was good hearing your heritage and where your from and your roots because i was wondering myself when you said israel before why israel now i know my family came over from italy and ireland through ellis island and all that and think of it this way if you loose any subscribers im sure youll make up for it with the new ones you gained on your trip good video buddy catch ya on the next one driver
Loved the background info on your family history! Very nice.... seriously though....a pic of you in your bathing suit as a grab bag goodie handout at Louisville.....marketing, my friend....
Great video Mike, Enjoyed hearing about your family history. Always great videos . Love the Waltham drives by North Junior High School, St Mary's , Farm Bureau . I use to pick up wire in that green building you have in Littleton for the farm store in Waltham when I was in high school. Safe journeys
Good morning! What a beautiful experience to share with your wife and kids! I appreciate the fact that you were willing to help share it with me! Thanks!
Mike, never question showing your kids the more unpleasant things in life. Those things are what strengthen and inspire us to solve the real problems of the world.
Good ride, Mike. There is a lot of interesting information in this video. I worked at Keatings for many years. It was great to see my buddy Rich in the scale house. Hey Rich, it's Tibbs. I could not tell if that was my buddy Earl in the loader. It's good to have the Boston Trucker back at the home 20.
Howdy Mike 👋👋, that's was some trip , Happy you and your family and group had a enjoyable/ Safe Journey , very interesting from your description , as always Thanx for the time for the video and Safe Travels 👍👍👍👍 !!!!
don't be shy of your roots Mike, we are all a mish-mash in North America, I am French Canadian we are all emigrant to America and Canada the people that may leave your channel should think of that ,KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINE BROS
Glad you back and had a good trip 👍🏻👍🏻...I told my buddy, who is going to MATS to be sure and go by Shell's booth to say hello from me.....Lumberjunkee.....don't forget that name 😀😀
Good morning Mike. Glad to see you trucking again. I grew up in a Catholic family and there were only two things my mother ever requested of me to do for her . 1 graduate school , and 2 get confirmed in the catholic church. I did both for her . But never was a good church goer. About the only thing I got was the ( Catholic guilt part of it ) If you don't know what that is just ask someone that grew up Catholic. Loved the videos while you were on vacation. A friend of mine went on a cruise ship with his wife and she got mad at him because he spent too much time hanging out in the engine room with the ship's crew. Have a great week.
Welcome home, back to the land of the working stiff. Let's be honest though, the WD40 isn't gonna keep you from polishing, you're gonna polish anyway. lol.
Surprised you still have a job. Around here you and the operator both would be fired. Him for sticking his bucket in the trailer and you for letting him.
@@TheBostonTrucker yea it sucks around here, tri and quad axles arnt allowed can only run tandems, everytime i go to the quarry i try to get them to load a little more but they will not go over 14 ton for my 6 wheeler. anyways great video love to hear your stories
Mike, you know you're trucking milage,, can you calculate approximately how many miles did you travel by jet and busses for your total round trip vacation,,,?
@@TheBostonTrucker i am hlad I subscribed to your channel. Like you, I used to keep my own Western Stars 4964EX's in mint condition, just like do the kitty cat you drive. What do you have for a drive train? Is that an 18 speed? My trucks had a C600 cat, 18 speed fuller Roadranfer, a 262 WB, 373 gear ratio, 46,000 rears, 12,500 fronts, with Hendrickson Air Ride truck and cab, 76 walkin sleeper, and it was a beautiful red with chrome bumper and stacks, and the rest were all mirrored stainless. Much like what you drive
It’s funny how you mentioned the jewish lawyer stereotype….it be funny if you got your law degree and bar card and hung out at weigh stations and help truckers beat their charges
@@TheBostonTrucker I'm pretty sure you are though... you just aren't good at/doing school... because they tell you how to think instead of teaching you how to think...and if its not in the books its not understandable to the teachers...and forget a bar card ... your a seasoned trucker you know what's legal and what's not
I know what the Talmud says about gentiles and the Lord Jesus Christ, so I'm glad to hear you aren't into their religion. Gotta be one of the most vile ideologies in the world.
@@TheBostonTrucker when you say Hashem, do you refer to the God of Moses, who wrote the ten commandments on the two tablets on mount Sinai? I know that not all "jews" subscribe to the Babylonian talmud.

Hi Daniel, yes I understand the guilt, we have it to and I live with some of that still. 👋
Happy Sunday! Glad trip was good!
Thank you MC
Enjoyed your talk about your history/upbringing and that is nothing to be ashamed of! People this day do not respect the Jews and that is a disgrace.
Thank you Emily
I enjoy your videos friend
Glad you like them John thank you.
Welcome home Mike
Thanks pal
Now your kids will understand what it feels like and understands what those people are feeling
Agree with you 👍
I would enjoy the video of your trip
Maybe I'll put it together, I deleted a bunch of videos off my phone to make space but I have a few on GoPro.
You got quite a collection of sleeveless jackets
Hahaha just two so far! 😊👍
Welcome home!
Thank you!!
Vacation in Israel would be fun
It was an adventure of a lifetime!
Shalom Boca Raton, Mike.

Welcome home, back to the land of the working stiff. Let's be honest though, the WD40 isn't gonna keep you from polishing, you're gonna polish anyway. lol.
I mean yeah if we're being honest 😙🤣

Hello Green Bay! I use to drive out of Algoma.
That's cool
Very interesting
Thanks Mark
On my bucket list to visit Israel.
Definitely an eye opener and we didn't have any troubles but there's always chance wherever you travel too.
Funny, my coworker just got back from 2 weeks in Israel.
That is funny!

Ouch,that sucks about the liner
Total bummer!
That's true
👍😊
Surprised you still have a job. Around here you and the operator both would be fired. Him for sticking his bucket in the trailer and you for letting him.
I follow company policy and do what my boss asks me to do.
you got rid of the superliner?? what a bummer :(
Tell me about it.
man i wish we could haul 33 ton. for 6 wheelers in illinois u can haul about 15 ton, and a truck like your you can run about 22-23 ton
23 tons is like being empty
@@TheBostonTrucker yea it sucks around here, tri and quad axles arnt allowed can only run tandems, everytime i go to the quarry i try to get them to load a little more but they will not go over 14 ton for my 6 wheeler. anyways great video love to hear your stories
Oragone? C'mon Mike... ORYGUN, please!
OrAgin!👋 Love that place!
I got 49yrs experience is that enough
Well, you're still a little green but you should be fine. 😁
@@TheBostonTrucker ok I get view more years in and get back with you
Mike, you know you're trucking milage,, can you calculate approximately how many miles did you travel by jet and busses for your total round trip vacation,,,?
It's 5700 each way by plane and you can add about another 300 miles by bus so 6000 miles approximately.
Hey, it is not route 20, it is U.S. Highway 20.
Okay
