The first cabover I drove was an Emeryville for Schwerman in 1967. We hauled bulk cement to Indiana near the Indiana Toll Road when they were building I-69. Late one afternoon dispatch called me in to work and said he was sorry but all he had left was an Emeryville. I told him I liked the Emeryville. He said " Good. I only have two and only one other driver likes them. I'm putting your name down to dispatch you only on an Emeryville ." I was tickled . Loved those trucks.
Those were great trucks I am a retired truck mechanic and I worked on those many years ago when I was a pup, I am 74 years old and I twisted wrenches for about 55 years.
As a kid in the 70´s i was crazy about trucks and always thought the Emeryville was the coolest of them all, during school id used to draw that familiar cab shape and one day in front of my house a Emeryville parked for a whole month! (i guess the Trucker was there to visit some relative since there was a old folks home across the street ) id stare at it every morning before going to class like it was some kind of mythical creature! some things you dont forget.
this video is from the early 70’s when Emeryvilles roamed the country. All these are long gone and done worn out. I see some old International Transport pics in here. Rochester MN flatbed/heavy hauler in that familiar yellow green tractor colors. I.T. also long gone!
First rig I ever drove at 14 on the farm was a 1964 Emeryville with a 5x3 2 stick transmission, never did get it down 100%, not long after that it was replaced by a 1974 Transtar 4070A, ran that one until 2002 when it finally croaked, still have it, need to get that old binder rolling again.
Dad had two in the 60s the second one had a 8V71 with 70 series injectors 5 speed clark and 3 speed eaton rears. Very fast and powerful truck for the time.
I remember those old Emeryvilles. My Dad had one in his small fleet back when I was a little kid. They were the ugliest trucks on the road. Those old 180 and 220 Cummins could roll the smoke 💨 out of the exhaust pipes. At least they put the town of Emeryville, California on the map. 👍
I drove a 1970 International Transtar, had a 250 Cummins, and under a heavy load and a hill had about a 1 foot flame out the stack, could control how long the flame was with the throttle.
Had to watch twice, tears in my eyes from song, love the old songs and old trucks. Your are definately the real deal when it comes to trucking in the past and putting the music together.I BET YOUR DAD LOVES THIS SONG,{you put this song with Emeryvilles,Didnt your dad run a couple of Emeryvilles?????My dad and i love your videos,hes 56 and been driving all his life.
When I was a kid the magazine, The Saturday Evening Post always had ads from I-H that featured their trucks from pickups to the Emeryvilles. The Hendrickson c.o.e. also used this sheet metal when HME used to make trucks. Their c.o.e. sat higher than the Emeryville, and it accomodated a big Detroit Diesel power 12V-71 pulling twin long trailers for the Cooper- Jarrett trucking co.
After WW2 when truck production resumed, the company introduced the "W" series trucks, which were built in a new facility in Emeryville, California. This plant closed in1963.
Loved em owned a 66 but I was to tall for that sleeper had to sleep across the dog house put two movin blankets down and slept there!! Hot in the summer cold in the winter haha those were the days!!!
truckerdean1 You havn’t been driving a truck for 50 years. If you’re gonna tell a lie at least make it sound believable. Get outta here with that BS. 😖

Missed their heyday. Passed my (then class 3 license ) on a COE (cabin over CB slang ) Kenworth in 1981. Still on the road to date.
I love this this is my life for 45 years

Great video, love them Emeryvilles!
International Transport & Midwest Coast, those back to the golden age
The E-Dog was the only Binder that I didn't operate. They were there but I dud drive the 4000, 4070, and TranStar.
I loved the trucks with the drone box on the back and the tandum front axels
I remember those old Emeryvilles.

Curt Ray and it gets quicker every year , dammit
You knew you were trucking when you saw that flame coming out of the stacks
Yep red hot pipes
I drove a 1970 International Transtar, had a 250 Cummins, and under a heavy load and a hill had about a 1 foot flame out the stack, could control how long the flame was with the throttle.
The name of the song is 18 Wheels A Hummin" done by various artists. Great video of the old Emeryvilles....thank you.
Great video, perfect song to go along with it.
You could always tell an EMREVILL was coming by the SOUND

California. This plant closed in1963.
One of the few COE's I like,, such a distinct style.
The early Transtar conv. shared the same cab , another favorite.. IH had a lot of good looking trucks back then.

They were built in Emeryville, California
Hence the name Emeryville.. They were really Transtars,,
The irony is the majority of them were built in Ft. Wayne, Emeryville couldn't keep up with demand.
I love that Watson Brithers logo on that trailer. These are great pictures treasure them did you drive any of these trucks??
nice old pics....what"s the song?? nice one
I drove one of these when I first started driving 50 yrs ago
