- ( www.TFLtruck.com ) The Iowa 80 bills itself as the word's largest truck stop. But that's not it's only claim to fame. It is also the home of the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum. How about a Classic Kenworth truck with over 5.2 million miles on the Odometer, or a very early electric truck or perhaps a classic truck that Front Wheel Drive. These are just some of the cool trucks that Nathan and Roman checked out on their recent Prague to Pebble Beach trip.

I know this is an old video, but I live about 15 min from the I80 truck stop & museum.. & us locals are very proud of it! There’s even more to see now in 2023!
Flash back. Hard to believe the changes on the planet.
Nathan the truck shown at 1:43 has four wheel drive not just front wheel drive. FWD stands for four wheel drive and is still in business. They have some sweet trucks in that museum. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks man! If you study the image at 2:23, you'll see there is no rear axle.
When I started in 1959, my first truck was an A model 30 Mack 10 wheel dump. I'm still driving
Now I’m watching all your old stuff as well as the new stuff 😍😍👍👍
Could someone closer to this truck stop/museum do a video about the yellow Ryder prototype that you briefly show. This was a unique vehicle designed by Ryder for use in their OTR trucking operation. The complete subframe and running gear could be changed out in minimal time so the vehicle got back on the road.
ruclips.net/video/kj9OXQzZ-A0/видео.html is a vid on that truck
The right hand drive was a carryover from the horse and wagon days. To control the horses the driver had a whip. Most all drivers were RIGHT handed. The whip was used by the drivers RIGHT hand. Very clumsy to be used sitting on the left.Not only DANGEROUS to the guard/passenger/assistant who would be sitting to his right. Hence the horse wagon driver ALWAYS sat on the right.
Great video....
Also im sad that you didnt stop to look at that yellow cabover with the Ryder tag on the side. It looks so futuristic :D
@Katrina Cales its 1 of 10 electric trucks built

It's right hand drive because being on the right side puts the driver closer to the side of the road to transport/drop off items more efficiently. It's a one-seater and has no doors for kind of the same reason.
Awesome museum, you guys should take the tatra to meet its bigger brothers! Tatra have some uniqe trucks, not many of them here in Norway so maybe THL Truck could find some in america?
Right hand drive was put on trucks so that the driver can see the curbs and the edge of the road much like trucks of today with a quarter glass mounted low in the doors, aka a safety feature
all great trucks :)
those semi trucks
REO Speedwagon, responsible for, arguably, the best line ever in a rock song :-
" So we hit the road, but the road hit back."
And I'm pretty sure TFL share the sentiment.
Does the museum happen to have a mid 50's truck that was built for a company called Associated Transport?
If it's a field truck RHD allows for better vision when aligning onto your rows.
3:42 'If you look real carefully you can see treads...' not only that if you are very observant and have 20:20 vision you might just make out that they are red.
It's nice to see that Nathan knows what he's talking about. Before hand. Anyone else notice that he read the. Signs right befor talking and. Keep looking at them ??
Your punctuation is absolutely fascinating, where, on earth, did you find it ?
Another truck that was built for as long as that walker electric was the ford C series. They ran almost unchanged from 1957-1990.
The RHD truck - is it possible this was built for the Canadian market? Back then, Quebec was the only province where people drove on the wrong side of the road. :-)
I think the theory about it being due to the custom of driving anything horsedrawn from the righthand seat is more likely though - back then they would probably still have old farm implements designed for use with horses that they would be using with this truck.
That one truck with the right hand drive and right hand chain drive system is probably that way due to the fact that one could do everything from the right hand side. I mean, if it was built to roam the fields, im sure efficiency like that was on the designers mind.
That yaworski truck is from the haul of fame in ct
Does anybody know what kind of truck/van that is at 3:19, the Wm Curtis & Son transfer and Storage? It is a very unique looking truck.
That's a 1954 Fagoel van
Thanks for the ID
that is one cool place
I forgot what towns thats in but I live in Iowa too!

What's the story with the unusual looking Ryder truck?
Someday if I find a 1900s Mack chain drive I’d buy it a truck I have always desired
What truck is the yellow Ryder truck at 6:33 and the thumb nail?
+LTKLTKGOPRO 1974 Ryder Paymaster R100
Would like to see electric milk truck restored
6.36 what type of truck is this?
The mail truck looks like the one from Christmas cartoon Santa clause is coming to town
Hey! I know the guy that owns that place!
In 1792 a law was passed that all vehicles must pass on the right. Before 1908 and the advent of the Ford Model T, virtually every vehicle in America was right hand drive. Ford put the steering wheel on the left so passengers could enter from the curb side, avoiding traffic. Mail vehicles were still right hand drive to facilitate many egress and exits. This was also the reason all vehicles prior to 1908 and a few thereafter had right hand drive. Today driving on the left in the U.S. Virgin Islands is the norm, since on the main island, half of which is British, imagine having to switch lanes every time the boundary is crossed.
wait...we had electric vehicles over 100 years ago?
no yellow truck from the thumbnail
its called a REEFER, for refrigerated
FWD is a Four Wheel Drive not front wheel drive
I guess he didn't know the name of the vehicle company is FWD also .
@@adamdanko596 nopes & the only car that had a front wheel drive was the Cord 810 & others too
So, either I'm missing something or.... where are the Tatra trucks? There is a single sedan out in the front for like a a half a second, and that is all for so much talk about Tatras?
1915 when Americans loved their country and foreigners were kept out.

Street truck stop is in Walcott ia
Triggered by this guy calling a wheel a rim
fwd stands for four wheel drive motors.not front wheel drive.FWD invented 4WD.
Incorrect. The term is interchangeable, but it usually refers specifically to Front Wheel Drive.
Actually he was right. FWD was the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company. Front wheel drive has nothing to do with it. Learn shit before trying to correct someone on something.
Sean Fitzpatrick
The name of an old defunct company brand is irrelevant, you dumbfuck. A simple Google search reveals many reputable car sites referring to FWD as Front Wheel Drive. That's the common modern usage.
Mr. White modern usage doesnt matter. you tried correcting someone but you were wrong. the OP was talking about the defunct company, which had its name falsely stated in the video.
Sean Fitzpatrick
He said "Front Wheel Drive Motors" which is the incorrect company name. You do realize there are many acronyms with multiple uses, right? Nobody uses FWD to refer to the company these days, you moron.
I don't know about anybody else, and, to be honest, I don't really care, but I find it wrong to have vehicles stuck in a museum. They were made to move, and that's what they should do. I feel the same about animals in a zoo, and, completely horrifying, stuffed animals.
There's not too much call for vehicles which top out under 25 mph these days
MrFunnyMonkey What's the point of restoration if the vehicle isn't used ? It was made to move. If it doesn't move, it's failing to fulfil its raison d'être.
Martin Espinoza There are vintage and veteran vehicle rallies.
MrKeyboardCommando I have three words for you, _weekend at bernie's_
Most of those cars aren't really living. They're just propped up and paraded around every so often.
Martin Espinoza I'm not talking about trailer queens, I'm talking about open road rallies and circuit racing. Doesn't that kind of thing happen in the US ?
