    I agree. Great interview and thank you Bob for your service. I too am in law enforcement (38 yrs now) and have always wanted to be a trucker. They're a special breed.

      Well Sr, u could start by obtaining your CDL and drive only when u can, many companies r ok with that. I was an over d road driver for 15yr and now I have 3 yrs as deputy sheriff. I love both careers ,so if u have something for trucking don't hold up. Be safe Sr 👍

    I remember this outfit out of Los Angeles... When I started driving in 1989 they had one of the cleanest flatbed fleets. Certainly brought back memories. Nice to see the truck is still running.

      My dad hauled containers in old COE's out of San Pedro and Long Beach as well as pipes. He had an old International Transtar, and early 70's Freightliner and a stretched out Kenworth K100. Fun times as a kid growing up with her dad.

    This is awesome!!!! Oh my gosh brought back memories. My dad drove a white Frieghtliner. The company he drove for truck colors were light blue and white. Same design as this truck with the dark going through the white. The inside was dark blue. Many fond memories of road trips in that truck.

    It's great to see Old School Rigs still working.. And I really appreciate the time both men put into giving us a really good video.. And the Driver , Ex- Trooper , seems like a really good man. And it he was that way as a Law Enforcement Officer , then he's the kind of stuff we need out there.. 👍🇺🇸.
