- While I was out in Virginia, Andrew introduced me to the Commonwealth Coach and Trolley Museum (where he now volunteers). Part of his volunteer work includes driving the many busses at the museum, but before we got to the busses, we decided to take this old tow truck for a drive. This was Andrew's first time behind the wheel of a real truck in quite some time, and considering that it was stuck in high range for the first half of the video, I think he did a fantastic job. There's multiple camera angles here, including inside shots from both the inside and outside of the truck. Hope you enjoy!

Andrew's work with the museum is a great use for his CDL, as well as keeping his skills up.
People, stop being rude to Andrew! He’s doing his best and is getting better, if you aren’t going to be nice, just don’t say anything!
Old school!! Cool! But ya gotta love when you're moving something old and someone in a little Jeep has to stop right in the middle of the road and stare. :-P I just had to move a 1973 Shasta RV (40+feet) and a Dodge Neon just has to stop in the middle of the road and stare!!! D'oh!! MOVE!!! Anyway, a little Turtle Wax and this baby's ready to do some towin'!!
oldschool driving is hard :D thumbs up !!!
That GM DETROIT DIESEL sounds sweet! Great looking Classic Diamond Rio!
That truck is an awesome truck...I feel bad that I didn't get a video of him driving it LOL...Oh well at least you got the video :D
Beats watching Duel, again. 😀
The way hes grinding it and thunking it its not gonna last its a simple 8 speed andrew lol and the burning smell was fried clutch
Diesels are easy to learn with a standard transmission due to the insane torque it has unless your stuck in high range and dumping the clutch out u almost cant stall em. Tw dumping the clutch on big vehies can snap the drive shaft right off at the u joints saw it happen 2 times at swift driving class
My dad is a commercial truck driver. I won't be able to get a video of him driving though since I rarely see him while he is working and his truck doesn't have two seats. I also don't think his company would appreciate me tagging along.
I need to learn how to drive stick!
JoshCraver9000 In a car, it's pretty easy, but in a truck or vehicle with more or 6 gears it could take a while to learn.
so does the guy in this video need to learn
My father have the same truck in Tractor Black Color 250 Cummins 18 sp. Factory have 411 Tandem axle Rear end but one rookie driver broken both now have 717 Tandem axle rear end
it's REO,
for Ransom E. Olds
We have a peterbilt 379 flattop cat motor Eaton Fuller 18 speed
Whar year is it Brother??
0:27 Parking Brake deactivated
good
Lol, when the guy that owned that car went in, you should've towed him to another place in the parking lot
it is called double clutching and if you do not understand that you should not be driving this truck
Excuse my father have the same Truck in Tractor and I drive and never have trouble to shift
Detroit Diesel 6-71, eh?
How long have u known Andrew
First view
Sorry dude if you can't drive it maybe you need not to get in it
He's got all the excuses in the world! The trans is bad, and the engine has oil pressure problems. That trans isn't grinding itself! What is it with these people, and the fact that driving this machinery improperly is okay? They shouldn't be anywhere near a classic truck or bus with a manual transmission!
Ive driven a 10 speed twice, and i could probably do better. Cringe
