I was part of those days. New truckers have no idea how it was, 3 log books, west coast turns, hunts point market, back row truck stop parties, you listened to the old guys, learned to listen and not talk! Respected the old boys and earned your place.
@@fuzzybutkus8970 lmao commercial company I actually had a lady and her boyfriend jump on my cat walk and cut my emergency line to lock up my trailer tandems. They proceeded to open my driver door and drag me out to rob me but I carry a colt king cobra 357 after sticking that up to there forehead they ran off that's when I learned to never stop at red lights near hunt's point
That’s a good answer! Back then you couldn’t go past a truck em up without someone hollering on ch 19 for smokin dope, shower tickets or sleeper leapers, come on! Then someone was always looking for Cowboy, Outlaw, Ridge Runner, Panty Snatcher, or Rocket Man! Was in the 76 in Okie City, sometime in 1982, some hand plugged up the pot in the men’s room & the water ran out & made it all the way to the gift shop/pay phone area & the poor kid that got stuck cleaning that up wasn’t to thrilled about it. Big Radios & Bird Dogs were out there, Bear reports & Chicken Coop activity was always a constant thing on CH 19. Yea I sure like reminiscing about those days, and from what I hear from a few hands that are still out there, it’s not even close to be like it was, how ‘bout it!
So ture every word sucks getting old but I wouldn't give up the old times for nothing most drivers today don't have a clue could never grasp a clue how it was thanks for the tune
My dad is still a driver. But when I was a kid he drove a 359 peterbilt with a 3406 catepillar the white motor and it had a set of sticks in it I thought it was amazing how he shifted all those gears
I'm triple digit. I remember doing coast turns with southern shaker, mamas boy, peppermint patty, and the rest of the good time gang. We had a good life, now it's just not the same anymore.
Who was the guy who had the Auto car truck a truck told me this guy had the fast time from s.c to CA the trucker I no told me about a convoy they had going he the guy with the auto car truck past them all he said he doing about 120-130 mph and the slowest truck was doing 85 he said when he got his up to 140 the guy smiled with the auto car and ran out sight who is this guy this had be back the 90's I guess are late 80's maybe the truck might been a Pete
@@kennethhood2168 It may have been me, I had a Pete with a 1693 V8, 15 double over, 3:33 rears. I remember a few autocars, but we were all fast. Honestly, I don't remember everyone that was there, we usually would get people joining in when we made our runs. We would start with 25 or 20 trucks at rubes in Jersey, by the time we got to Shakey we may have 100 trucks all running together.
@@williambenton3731 Rubes Jersey City Truck Stop...on the beautiful banks of the Hack and Sack river. Man, that brings back memories. Spent a couple of weeks there in the summer of 1968 while the Newark riots were going on...tryin' to get a load back to the west coast. Mom wouldn't let Jerry Holbrook in her cafe cause he busted the cooks nose previously. She relented when the rest of the outlaws walked out, got cases of beer and kind of formed an ugly, rock throwing mob. Every night taxi cabs rolled in filled with hookers. What a place!
@@williambenton3731 u a hero to me and u is the bandit and the hero to the child nothing like a old school Peter girl with the fuel turn up putting the hammer down head to taco town I see u coming in my back door come on and grab that front door good Buddy and that's big 10-4 whole it down and keep it between the ditches snowman on the way east bound and down over and out we bout to put some moves on this sucker.
I remember in the 60s and 70s triple T and Jubits And some produce broke up from Lake Havasu had ads in overdrive every month . That was back when Mike Parkhurst still had that magazine, no the fleet took over drive over and it sucks
I wish I could have been apart of these days. Freedom. I hear the stories all the time from guys that lived those times and much respect and love to each and every one of you.
Those were the best and worst times in my trucking career. I’m still at it, too damned stubborn to quit. I’ve made up my mind, I’ll quit when they drag me out of my ride and trade this coffin sleeper for a true coffin. Call me Rip, I’m still sneakin’ around out here somewhere……..
Retired. Yet still enjoy a run now and again. But the automatic I drive , I don't like. Give me a thirteen or eighteen speed any day. But , ya can't blame the owners , the auto' s get better milage most of the time.
We did that barstow boogie but i never ran with more than four or five guys them large convoys an arge card must have been a sight ...imagine 100 trucks running together today ...these steering wheel holders would be running into everything in their path...triloe digit rooster cruisers and these new breed drivers with their gps and big brother looking at them drivinf automatic transmissions wouldnt mix
It's not many of us left. I'm not running the big road and putting it in the big hole and running that left lane chicken hauling gang out of the sip anymore but sure do miss the old days. To much damn government overreach.
Sitting in the Florida milkcrate though I thought I was cool that'll 359 I drove and then had to Air hood on it from the factory I flipped them straps and creep up in the truck stops going to pull up to get fuel or something to flip that hood they know how about that was really the s*** can I have chicken wing on there to UNMC chicken wings Much Anymore real chicken wing

Hunts point what an experience that was
@@GusKuratleSrWhat about all the nice ladies outside on the stroll? Offering to give you jobs or a trips around the world. Just really friendly.lol.😂😂
