So cool that you’re vlogging your experience as an OTR driver. I’m a logistics broker, and it’s so nice seeing how drivers live on the road! Love working with awesome carriers!
My grandfather drove for 52 years in this exact same truck for the later part of his career and I’m thinking about going to prime and driving their trucks but damn listening to the turbo spool up and the gears shifting brings back so much nostalgia that these new auto trucks just don’t offer
Glad you're back. Your videos and others on RUclips helped me decide to get my CDL and go OTR. I hope to document my CDL training, first solo run etc...
I love that truck. Occasionally i drive one that is a tri axle straight truck with a 5000 gallon tank on the back. You can tell that when it was new it was a top of the line truck. Absolute beauty 👌
Have a W900, did my dash in the lighter carbon fiber vinal wrap, looks cool. Pain in the a** to do, have to remove all the gauges and switches. Use the good 3M wrap, (there's a million colors). Also have a 16" steering wheel, it's OK, took a min to get use to. If you buy that truck, at least you know what you're getting, and all the recent history, that's worth a lot. No expensive surprises. Maybe he'll give ya a deal : )
I just found this channel this is the first video I've watched and I love it! I subscribed and I'm gonna watch a bunch of these videos today I just hope their all as good as this one!!
I think that the carbon fiber would look good, and all that matters is that you like the way your rig is set up and that it functions for you. Like watching the videos
Thanks for the tour, your missing the lower cabinets on both sides, Just a suggestion but you can put in a Dorm fridge and a bigger inverter and it's cheaper.. The pants leg was genius. And you did an awesome job with the floor..
Wrap it carbon fiber or matte black. Another option would be to go to a lighter color, white would look good but get dirty easily, maybe a neon/racing purple.
Don't let a shit company get you down brother, there are good people to work for out here. If you're in the southeastern U.S. look up Storey Trucking, Meteor Express or Huff&Puff Trucking. All three treat you like a human being, pay excellent and give good home time. Considering this is three months late, you may be out of the game but if you are still driving I hope things get better for you. Cheers
Nice video i always liked the classic and like the old school look, only thing i would add an refrigerator and microwave. would up date the driver seat. Carbon fiber dash but i think a purple dash would work good also. Take care and be safe.
I would put in a fridge and microwave at least. I don't know how it was in year 2000, but I can say that now If I were to eat out of truck stops twice everyday, I would be spending $170 a week easy. Its also nice to have some food in the truck anyway in case I end up shutting down at a consignee or rest area.
Hvala ti na odgovoru. Odličan si i dobar ti je kanal. Kamiona King Enira Sinanovića ovamo prate svi, jer snima na maternjem jeziku. Pozdrav za tebe i srećno.
Nema na čemu, naravno razumijem pratim ga u ja. Jednostavno se osjećam komotnije ovako kako radim i to je to. A što se tiče drugog, znam ko sam odakle. Hvala opet, pozdrav
@@otrookie Sve je u redu, samo tako nastavi. Mislim da te je Kamion King pomenuo u jednom svom klipu i rekao svojim suskrajberima da te zaprate i podrže. Tako sam počeo da te gledam. Odlično radiš detaljno čišćenje kabine kamiona. Koliko to košta u SAD?
Hahah jeste neznam ni kako je on mene otkrio jer nije mi bas veliki kanal a i ne snimam bas dugo nema ni godina, kaže da je prepoznao da sam nas hahah. Znamo mi svoje, jeste on preporučio hvala sto me pratiš. Sto se tiče čišćenja to je nešto sto ja uživam raditi ili auta i volio bih raditi vise ali nemogu naći gdje itd. Posao sto si vidio sto sam ja uradio mogao se bolje uraditi ali ja sam uradio sto sam se dogovorio, to je bilo $300 za nekih 5.5 sati rada. Ali to sve zavisi u kakvom je stanju kamion ili auto i šta hoćeš da se uradi al ja mislim da kamion sto sam ja čistio bi bilo preko $500 za isti posao sto sam ja uradio. Faktički mnogo bolje pare nego voziti kamion
Its a 68 Camaro. No door vent window and it has a front fender side marker light which was federally mandated for all cars manufactured in the US from 68 on.
Jw speaker makes a amazing headlight for the truck they are pricey but worth it c that u do a lot of night driving make sure u get a heated one if u run in snow works great and doesn't blind others wrap it in forged carbon fiber
Bro if you ever passing through las cruces new mex get a nice cd player with blue tooth and ill install it for you gratis!! It'd look new age with carbon fiber like the wood maybe custom wood panels, but entirely your decision ill watch either way!!
@Love, Leah that empty space on his dash i see every video, he said was gonna put a cubby hole but I think a radio would be a better use of the space. Just my opinion is all. Be safe
Hello Hasim! How about socking away your $’s for either your own truck later on or deposit the $’s in an account and use towards your Retirement down the road ?
Hello. Because of my sleep problems I am thinking about driving (CDL A OTR) night time and sleeping day time. Is it risky and difficult to drive night time? Can I find parking space early morning in the truck stops? Is my project feasable? Thx
When you get another seat go get a brand new one that way you break the foam in to fit your ass! If you get a used one it already broke in to somebody else's ass print! I've already been through that
your interior needs work. also, not for nothing but when you started that truck in this video I noticed you didn't allow the gauges to sweep before cranking the motor... company driver for sure. but when you get your own, it's little things like that over time become big expenses...
Hey Bud.What kind of head set is that you'r using? Details!!! price and all. Thanks. BTW: Being Latin myself got to say love the accent "MI CASA" but I know that are European.What nationality? Be safe and remember. KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!
Regarding 'Vinyl Wrapping' the Dashboard, check out this RUclipsr "Sanchez Trucking", these guys own older Trucks including the Freightliner Classic XL and have Vinyl Wrapped the dashboards of all theirs plus they are constantly adding new Chrome, Lights and other stuff!, well worth watching their channel for inspiration...good luck.
So cool that you’re vlogging your experience as an OTR driver. I’m a logistics broker, and it’s so nice seeing how drivers live on the road! Love working with awesome carriers!
dude, you are such a young guy puling a long nose like a PRO!!!! I love old school trucks. I cannot wait to see it after you pimp it.
Haha thank you
My grandfather drove for 52 years in this exact same truck for the later part of his career and I’m thinking about going to prime and driving their trucks but damn listening to the turbo spool up and the gears shifting brings back so much nostalgia that these new auto trucks just don’t offer
Thanks to all the drivers that deliver the things of life !!
Dont touch the dashboard! I love the vintage look
Glad you're back. Your videos and others on RUclips helped me decide to get my CDL and go OTR. I hope to document my CDL training, first solo run etc...
I’m glad I helped! Whole purpose of my channel
Thanks for sharing. Love the older trucks with the old school dash. I say do whatever makes you comfortable.
I love the 1998 Flightliner fld and the Flightliner classic I can’t wait to get both of them they are my dream trucks🤤🤘🏽🥀
I love that truck. Occasionally i drive one that is a tri axle straight truck with a 5000 gallon tank on the back. You can tell that when it was new it was a top of the line truck. Absolute beauty 👌
Tolls are absolute modern day highway robbery, especially when taxes should cover it.
Twisted86 nah a lot of our infrastructure is reliant on our interstate system.
Thanks for sharing your day as a trucker!👍
Very nice truck !! Wish I can get my own truck! Take care, be safe and keep on Trucking!

Yup exactly my thoughts
I miss the other kind of semis "cabovers" here in the USA although the length limit increased. I remember I saw them everywhere back in the 1980s.
Still plenty here in Australia, old and new, American imports (maybe?) and we have all the euro ones too
That turbo spooling sounds so nice i miss my 2002 9400 equipped with a s60 detroit

It looks nice the way it is- but anyway thanks for the tour. Just drive and be safe out there’s- James from Alabama
I learned how to drive in one of those, fun times Keep on trucking!!
Saw a rig on the 5 at
By camp Pendleton and the dash had the changing purple lights -awesome!! Be safe!
Good video OT, and I agree, don't tough the dash, it looks good like it is!..my thoughts..
Your Dash looks Great the way it is. My 2001 GMC Sierra is 19 years old and I’m NOT planning on updating anything on it. 🙄
with the shorter mattress you'll have an area to stow maybe like your shower bag, or a rolled up blanket etc.
Hello There Thank You For UpLoading The Video On Your RUclips Channel And I Am Gonna Watch Your Video Right Now 🤗 Peace ✌
Thanks for the tour, your missing the lower cabinets on both sides, Just a suggestion but you can put in a Dorm fridge and a bigger inverter and it's cheaper.. The pants leg was genius. And you did an awesome job with the floor..
Thanks again Al!
Wrap it carbon fiber or matte black. Another option would be to go to a lighter color, white would look good but get dirty easily, maybe a neon/racing purple.
A my friend glad to see you back September to 6 local time 10:48 p.m. year 2019 70ﾟ degrees Winston-Salem NC
Gene Foust is
Goldsboro NC
Another great video!!
Lucas Oil Stadium, Go Colts!!😆
Genius wrap for the shifter! Thank you!
I had a butane stove, got tired of going to Walmart for new butane. Got an electric skillet plugs into my inverter for all my cooking
Keep working hard it can be a great profession for a dedicated and safe operator
i got black classic and have carbonfiber
it looks gorgeous on chrome bezels on gauges with black jewel
you can also do brushed metal, aluminum.
Do our dash in purple outer with the woodgrain inside and chrome switches and vents and gauge trim
I can explain trucking real simple and fast Lied to all the time ,cheated out of pay. ,live like animal

Jeff B Bingo!.You nailed it!.Hate this profession can’t wait to leave it.You left out rude customers.

Purple is perfect color for the dash board
Look up Sanchez Trucking on You Tube he has a Classic also and he has fixed it up and he wrapped his dash. Be Safe God Bless😇🚛👍
Its a 68 Camaro. No door vent window and it has a front fender side marker light which was federally mandated for all cars manufactured in the US from 68 on.
As far as your dashboard, you keep asking about purple, so, you must want it purple, so, go with purple 😉
Been doing it almost 30 years part time now because I do full time in a hospital. But keepem rolling
Jw speaker makes a amazing headlight for the truck they are pricey but worth it c that u do a lot of night driving make sure u get a heated one if u run in snow works great and doesn't blind others wrap it in forged carbon fiber
I’ll check it out
I'm your height and I'm about to start cdl school so it's comforting to know height doesn't matter
I saw a Camaro, the inside of rest stop, pull the curtains back, and seat belt. Tell the truth did you at least do a walk around? lol
I think you should just get a mini fridge rather than that cooler, you would save a buck or two
Pozz emkura dade preporuku,sa srecom
Hvala Mirko
Bro if you ever passing through las cruces new mex get a nice cd player with blue tooth and ill install it for you gratis!! It'd look new age with carbon fiber like the wood maybe custom wood panels, but entirely your decision ill watch either way!!
@Love, Leah that empty space on his dash i see every video, he said was gonna put a cubby hole but I think a radio would be a better use of the space. Just my opinion is all. Be safe
That’s awesome of you! I’m barely ever down there but if I do find myself I’ll hit you up
I like the steering wheel it's my favorite kind
Purple ! But carbon fiber would be eye catching 🤔.
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
Do outer dash purple and the inner plates carbon fiber, of course keep chrome gauges, my opinion two matching seats
Camaro was a '68. Great video BTW! Keep them coming!
Atlas seats are great. I have legacy seats and they're good.
I think wrapping it would look great👍🏾
My suggestion would be to go with something lighter in color. The cab appears pretty dark and dismal.
Good idea to tell, how is your job as a trucker in the United States
I wanna be a truck drive when i grow up
hologram clear wrap be a good choice, you can see the wood grain underneath
Hello Hasim! How about socking away your $’s for either your own truck later on or deposit the $’s in an account and use towards your Retirement down the road ?
My fiancé loves that idea as well, definitely gotta save as well
Are you still trucking? Thanks for what you do!
Samo naprijed zemo poz
Nice View Good Day Take Care
Go with the purple my brother 💯.
Hello. Because of my sleep problems I am thinking about driving (CDL A OTR) night time and sleeping day time. Is it risky and difficult to drive night time? Can I find parking space early morning in the truck stops? Is my project feasable? Thx
Eiver2 truccer got a nice classic long nose rig too man! Keep truccin brother
Oh yea that rig is next level, I could never keep it that clean lol
OTRookie haha shoot man I bet you could !
No time to mess around hammer down brother 635 mikes good $$
Gotta love the FL Classic..
Are you using a chest mount or head strap for the POV?
Head strap
Svi mi od Emkure like. 👍
Pozdrav Denise
Wow bro very nice...
No , no don't change anything , vintage look
Classic XL's are the best truck
Još jedan subscrajb od Emkure. Eh da...i da razbijemo prosek...komentara na engleskom 😉
Great video
I from Jersey..Saturday Night Live Joe Pisaco lol:D
The camero is a '68.
Did you overhaul that engine ? And do you haul heavy loads?
When you get another seat go get a brand new one that way you break the foam in to fit your ass! If you get a used one it already broke in to somebody else's ass print! I've already been through that
your interior needs work. also, not for nothing but when you started that truck in this video I noticed you didn't allow the gauges to sweep before cranking the motor... company driver for sure. but when you get your own, it's little things like that over time become big expenses...
Hey Bud.What kind of head set is that you'r using? Details!!! price and all. Thanks.
BTW: Being Latin myself got to say love the accent "MI CASA" but I know that are European.What nationality? Be safe and remember. KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!
It’s a blue parrot b450 it’s like $130? I’m Bosnian
Thanks for another video share.
carbon fiber or leave it stock
That was a 67-68 Camaro . You were close
Do you not have to wait for that alarm to go off aka wait to start before you start it? Won't that end up damaging it over time?
Tyler W not a wait to start. Low air buzzer. These trucks don’t have a grid heater or glow plugs.
Stephen Rankin oh interesting I didn’t know that. How do they get started when cold?
Not very easily I’ll tell you that much haha
How & why did you get into OTR trucking?
Don’t mess with the dash
Regarding 'Vinyl Wrapping' the Dashboard, check out this RUclipsr "Sanchez Trucking", these guys own older Trucks including the Freightliner Classic XL and have Vinyl Wrapped the dashboards of all theirs plus they are constantly adding new Chrome, Lights and other stuff!, well worth watching their channel for inspiration...good luck.
Carbon fiber. Maybe if u can get the carbon fiber in purple?
Continue with pov please u a very god driver
Appreciate the perspective but for gods sake invest in a mic the audio is terrible
Yep I 70 e bnd just past Indiana line
You should wrap the dash in camouflage
But you might want to fix the red trailer knob lol
Max Narten yep that won’t pass a level 1 insp
Nice video 👍🏻❤️
Indianapolis gang
Man the begining of that video was at like 2 miles from my house
One of my favs on ats😁
👍✌️
I got a nice twin XL foam mattress on ebay for $169!
Purple, carbon fiber, and chrome gauges.
