If it was this generation w900A then yes. But the current generations hell no, interiors are crap and the dashes look like a cheap plastic half modern attempting to be old school thing that just doesn't work.
Jeremy Gouge is a cool Cat. Ive had 3 friends own that truck. Him and Justin Lang and Tommy Baldwin. And Jeremy bought my friend Pop Corn's 53 KW with a K. i love watching these young guys. Honor and respect my favorite and best truck ever built. A's with K's.
Favorite rolling interview so far killer looking KW dude is humble and down to earth, I'm sure I've seen interior pictures of this truck before to get some ideas for our old c model and been trying to see more of it glad I found this video
Man, these are the kind of video's I really love and appreciate you doing. I've been around trucks most all my life. I'm legally blind so I can't drive at all. But these video's kind put me out there where I've always wanted to be. When this guy is talking about loving trucking. Man oh man, I know what he's talking about. I'd give anything to be able to to be trucking. Anyway man, thank you so much for what you do with these video's. Keep on keeping on brother.
Honestly, I want to do this but my energy level is low I think based on maybe a body discrepancy. It definitely is not because I do not like or love trucking. I do think the type of frieght has a level of issues too. I did flatbed with Western but I think that can be rectified.
Well, I'm not totally blind. Legally blind is 20/200 and I'm pretty well past that but I can see to get around. I just can't see well enough to drive. Thanks for asking. @@Wolfe7109
I had to rewind the video to make sure I heard it correct. Brockway is a great name. I actually met an old timer who worked at the Brockway factory in Cortland, NY about 3-4 years ago. He helped start the Brockway museum in town there. He had a bunch of restored Brockways, I hung around and toured his property and was able to enjoy some trucking history that day.
Great interview Chris. Love both trucks. Grew up with a truck driver Dad & Uncle. '74 Transtar International with a coffin sleeper. Had a flat bed with a lowboy trailer. Hauled travel trailers from manufacturer 2 dealerships. They would haul 3 at a time. Loved my childhood traveling all over the place. Late '70's & '80's.
Great video Chris, you know there are days where I think that this kind of mindset, attitude and dedication to the profession is a lost cause.. a pipe dream and resistance to the status quo big fleet mentality will leave you on a dead end street. Your videos and gentlemen like this give me hope and remind me that I'm not crazy. Thank you for keeping mine and many others dreams alive and in the spotlight.
Great to see 3rd generation driver sitting in the passenger seat enjoying the open road and learning the trucking trade. That young man is America's future. Without future "great" drivers the industry is dead. Too many idiot steering wheel holders out on the road today.
with all the big corporations pushing for more regulations like eld and all the new weigh stations fucking the small companies there is no future for "great" drivers its all going to be steering wheel holders
Motortube thats fourth generation riding shotgun, there's hell of a family there, I watch these trucks go by day in and day out, they're some of the best people around they're there to help anybody
@@scottw6375 And they think they’re “Drivers” too..... Had one pass me in a stupid Cascadia the other day while I was talking to my buddy on the CB radio .... He flicked me off.... I felt like slamming his piece of plastic garbage with a hammer..... Then I stomped my foot on the Go Pedal and and away I went... Left him behind in his plastic junk. Guess the Automatic trucks really are for hom0exuals.......
Love seeing this. I grew up riding shotgun with my dad In his own rig. Now I do the same. Great drivers make great drivers. One kf the few things the industry is missing.
Great Vid. I also grew up in the 70'S and remember the A model kwoppers. The industry has definitely changed. I used to help a man next door work on his truck when I was a kid. His buddies would help out on time-ups, wheel bearing and race repairs etc. They all pretty much did their own wrenchin' etc. When I was 12 years old I started hauling hay. At 14 I got my first job in a truck shop in town washing trucks and working on em' etc. I started driving 32 years ago (we could start at 18 back then) and still really love it to this day. I'm not that old I just started early but I love this guy's culture stories of hard work, dedication and sometimes genuine brotherhood. I too have my own stories of intending to be out of Springfield, Oregon for an hour or so and calling my wife from Nisqually or Seattle to tell her that I'll be back in a day or so...I like everything about this vid. especially the sound of the Jake etc. Trucking has definitely changed, hope there are still more guys that continue to pass it along....😊
10-4 on that best sleep youll ever have brother. Im 29 and remember those days like yesterday. Taking trips with my pawpaw, father and my step father that was mostly my father.
Nice video Chris. Always love the a model Kenworth 1980 to 1980 whatever they were back then. That one is an outlaw fly wagon. Keep them coming. Love what you do.
@@JeepCherokeeful And.... Nobody likes the 990 😂 ...... Just goes to show. Somethings never actually get any better. Nothin’ better then an A Model W9’ K Whopper 💪💪💪🏁
I'm a proud to be a trucker from a trucking family. Working hard to one day own a truck built with some "OLD PARTS". Former Army and I wanna show my colors. Thank you sir for these videos. It keeps me interested. Happy Trails.
I tell you one of my most precious memories is waking up in that old cow which would have been in the 80's and I am 38 now . But I remember the reflection of his face in the passenger window reflected by the morning sunrise... I lost my dad 2 years ago to Alzheimer's and my ol heart is just so broken... it's been tough.. anyways hearing his stories about those things that really make it part of who we are and what really make it stick made me cry like a damn baby... and it is the best sleep in the world sleeping behind the old man... safest place in the world..
This video has 2 pieces of my truck history in it. My Dad had a 75 International cabcover that I moved around when he was home to clean it and service it. Then he bought a 79 Kenworth that was my next love, this truck was the one that I took my CDL test in at 18. When I was 19 I was going from Vancouver British Columbia to Montreal Quebec alone, this gave Dad time off to play with his vintage cars. Great video! It brought back some good memories.
Another really well put together video. Great driving film work and interesting interview. Really enjoy them. Please keep up the very good work you do.
Iam a die hard Peterbilt fan, but have to say this is a slick ride. Super cool owner!!!! Love the outside look and that interior is kick ass!! Reminds me of the Snowman's truck! One dislike is that steering wheel WTH lol. And that Transtar sweet load!!!!
Beautiful truck love the detail the color just a eye catcher that's for sure one nice ride absolutely beautiful truck Cb is clear what's the make of the cb god just really nice ride sir stay safe out there
Give me an oldie but goodie like this to run and I'd be happy. Beautiful classic. My brother had a 79 W9 with flat top sleeper with a kitty cat & 13 speed.
Brings back a lot of memories humping freight in the summer or dragging and throwing chains tapping when he was with C&H just to be with him because I didn't see him that much learned a lot because of him.
I love it, the very first truck I bought was an '81 W900A the frame had been stretched to 300" WB with double frame rails, it had a 82" double eagle sleeper, had a 15 speed tranny 3:55 rears I pulled a dry van at first and after 1 year switched to pulling a skateboard, had A Cummins with twin turbo, I later ditched the cummins and dropped in a CAT
Not many company owners like this guy left, someone who will still work right alongside you. Helps to have a nice looking A model to cruise around in it too!
I learned to drive a 1960 kw in 1982 and fell in love with trucks so I'm fond of kw's but this is one sweet ride i've been driving for 31 1/2 years and if i could find something like this beauty I'd be running coast to coast till the day i die and as the song goes when i die i'll drive my truck up in heaven cause i'm a truck driving man. If you go through that list of drivers and are still looking for someone I'm me i'm single and kids are grown up i've got nothing but time and diesel in my veins lol. Take care be safe brother
This is why I get up in the morning!!! I have a dream to have a trucking Co. with a waiting list for drivers and have the drivers drive cooler trucks than what I drive. The only other fleet trucking Co. that I know of that has a waiting list is Western out of CO. Well done Sir well done.
Shes justa puuurrrin right along.....love the sound of a CAT engine...truck looks and sounds mean as hell...thanks for the vid chris love watchn em...yall stay safe....
That looks like the first 3 axel truck I ever drove the International on the low boy that was a long long time ago......70's !!! A beautiful K-Dub she sure sounds tough !!! Ain't that Tough Enough oh yeah the Jake Sings Purdy!!!!
Sweet ride and i like the way he thinks! You wouldn't mind driving for that guy yanno? He definitely was born into trucking thats for sure. Maaaan that big kitty sure sounds sweet👍. You keep raising the bar Chris. Another great video my brutha. Keep doing what you're doing and stay safe✌

I’ve watched this video a million times & it never gets old. One day I’ll own a long nose A model. Beautiful piece of iron!
Love the W9 flat tops hands down over petes
I agree
You know what I had one in model trucking.that thing could haul!
Pete > anything
If it was this generation w900A then yes. But the current generations hell no, interiors are crap and the dashes look like a cheap plastic half modern attempting to be old school thing that just doesn't work.
Yessir
This is my favorite truck you’ve ever encountered, there’s something sinister and badass about it. I love it.
Just pulled the trigger on a 75 A model. Watched this video 100x now. Hopefully someday it’ll be on here.
This is freaking awesome I literally smiled wen i heard the jake break
I came!
Same.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Toooooooooooooooooooo

Damn they dont make em like that anymore
No they doooo not!
