I loved this interview so much! ❤
He is so sweet. He could teach how to truly truck drive. Bless him.
I agree 100000000000000000000%
Great one Alex!!!!
This gentleman's mind is way sharper than what we have out here now, that's a great asset in itself. I learned from them, miss them alot.
Excellent interview ❤
Solid. I enjoyed it myself.
this gentleman doesn't need to drive anymore, he should be teaching, he is a wealth of knowledge
I agree with you on this
@@Kevo1993 thanks kevo 🙂
My thoughts exactly. Especially with the new generation of steering wheel holders 😢
Just imagine the stories his dad could tell about trucking if he was alive
What's the sense rookies won't listen
This man got to experience the best days of American trucking. These drivers are going away so if you get a chance take a few minutes and listen to their stories. These old guys deserve respect.
❤❤❤❤
He experienced this country at its best. Best for everything never to return.
This man should be recognized as a national hero an American icon. This was awesome.👍
Insurance has destroyed this country
Now who owns them? The same politicians that send billions to Isra3l.
Facts that’s why new truck drivers most times have to go otr or regional their first year
Amen and right on!!!!!!
Absolutely
Major Facts
I love old timers like him. I hope someone will hire him. Those guys paved the way for the rest of us. Those guys did it the hard way
Those are the guys I miss in trucking. Those are the legends..✌🏾
Thank you Sir, for your many years of service.
My favorite interview ever love these old school guys. He's a legend
I am 88 years old and I had to quit driving at 80 due to insurance. I only had one accident 50 plus years ago. I learned on a H model mack with duplex. Everything he said I can relate to. I live in northern maine and use to deliver in the northeast. Does anybody driving remember when NO CROSS BRONX to get to the GW bridge. I am like him I miss it.
Thank you for everything and moving America
Third generation truck driver and I can tell you the stories I have heard is mind blowing definitely could not do that kinda stuff nowadays. Great interview a lot of people don’t realize diesel fuel used to be cheaper than gasoline.
I really appreciate you interviewing this nice senior trucker Alex!😎😎😎😎😃😃😃😃😃🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
🫡🇺🇸🚚
The experience this old man would bring to the table is valuable
Come On Sir, it is time to Go fishing.....You earned it..!!
Sounds like he'd rather Truck than fish. He's a fish outta water.
Insurance companies are running this country!!!
Yep..running it in the ground...
Tell him we ❤️ that dude
In a similar boat, 29 years experience, no tickets, no accidents, no CSA points and I’m constantly being ghosted by companies.
Yep ! 38 years OTR nearly 4 millions accident free miles with no moving violations
Im either over experienced or not what theyre looking for
If I do get an offer they want to pay me 0.38 cents per mile
2 words 1-Russian trucking Company in 2-Chicago. You'll make more money than you can spend. 32 years experience myself and I wouldn't work for anyone else
@@mikepeg99 is it 1099 ?
@charleshanna2089 Yep. 1099 all day long. You'll make 60-70 cents a mile, and Russians also highly respect experienced truck drivers. 1099 is not bad at all, it's just that everybody doesn't know how to operate and utilize a 1099 properly. The secret to a 1099 is to run most of, if not all, the money you make into separate, small businesses. Laundromat, pizza parlor, car wash, online biz, etc. Let the small businesses pay the taxes for you. Once you make money from the small businesses, you put that money in your pocket.
@charleshanna2089 I'm on a trip right now. My dispatcher set me up on an LTL flatbed load going cross country. When all is said and done, I'll make $2800 for the week, and that's a slow week.
That's why I'm not trucking anymore....
The trucking industry is a disaster 😢....
Did 14 yrs no respect nor consideration for the truckers anymore...
It's all about the company's interest....
God bless him
I'm still stuck in it with fedex. I almost quit today over taking candy for driver appreciation week. Then I was told I'm only getting half an annual raise this year, and was informed there will now be notifications in the truck from the driver facing camera about my seat belt or if it sees my phone in view anywhere, or if I am eating. I'm done with this. Especially if I'll never afford a home and can barely even buy a car.
I get this man's frustration I started trucking in 1976 when all you needed was a chauffeur license! I was off from 1983 to 1996 due to life issues and then retired in 2019 after being an owner operator for the last 13 years of trucking I did oversize/ heavy haul I been looking to get back into it and no one will hire me saying I need at least one to two years of recent experience freaking crazy No tickets No accidents I am 67 Y/O in good health... Crazy times in trucking...
When they say to respect your elders this is the guy they are talking about
Thank you Driver. 💪💪💪
I’m 64 and drive for a small company in Arkansas that’s Self Insured, They’re interested in Experienced Driver
I am 65 and I am also looking to go to work for a company that is out of Arkansas to and I’d love to be able to drive a truck again but have not drove in a while because of things that I have had happen to me, and I have had my CDL class A for over thirty two years back in February this year.
I enjoyed listening to this man, I have only been out here 34 years and would sit with someone like him just to hear the stories he could tell, I've got some, but to listen to him talk about the old companies and truckstops, it's history. It's guys like him that taught me what I know today in trucking, on driving going over mountain passes, I know trucking sucks today between insurance, fuel prices and scamming brokers have ruined this industry and people that know nothing about driving, my hats off to this legend, and yes he's a legend!
Yeh it’s dad these flip flop wearing drivers could careless about the history of trucking
ATHS should recognize him in there magazine! Sure would like to meet him. Hear more of his stories.
Great interview!! I like hearing those Old School stories from the unsung heroes of the trucking industry 🔥👏🏻🔥
That man is a true hand it's sorry that he can't get a job yet theres people out here that shouldn't be
We had a driver that was took off the road by the insurance company at 86! He is a legend at our yard. He is the only one on the 3,000,000 mile banner hanging above the driver's lounge. The original OG! ❤
Willie Shaw was part of Comcar. Went bye bye a few years ago.
Hey, Alex. I've been driving 51 years out here. I hope I could be as lively. As that man is at 88 and I hope he does find another driving job. Cause he deserves it first truck. I ever learned how to drive with a Diamond Rio. That's an old truck but trucking the life of a trucker is what you make of it. It's definitely difficult sometimes, but it's also a beautiful thing. Get to see a lot of people don't get to see and he's right about truck stops back in a day. The owner would buy your lunch. Buy your dinner, you're pulling a bill. You truck up what she windows. Clean your floors and sometime you'll have to pee in it. Go in and take a shower or they would pop your try that today. And they steal it. Good luck.
To that old truck driver, I hope he gets a few more years of driving.God bless him
Appreciate you too!!!!!
I’m 66, over 75, you are too old. Sorry just the facts, yes let him drive if someone gets hurt sue mutha trucker.
A real Old School GearJammer from back in the day. He’s what comes to mind imo as an old school Trucker. Insurance companies as well as company policies have hurt this Industry. Much respect to him.
Man I'm so glad that your still keeping it real with the OG truckers and reporting and checking in on the common hard working people like us my respects for all you do bro 👍
I appreciate that!!!! Gotta share the story
I’m also in same situation I have 15 years experience ZERO accidents on my record I run my own authority and simply looking to go company driver and NO ONE will hire me.
My dad is 67 and he couldn’t get work. He ends up retiring and collecting social security checks
He is a driver that built this industry. We all could learn something from him.
The insurance companies. Need to be reeled in. Congress should immediately pass Legislation that Insurance is now a non profit business. Any profit should be shared back with the paying public and not the Board of Directors. Immediately !!!!
A beautiful man. KEEP ON TRUCKIN..
Age Discrimination...SUE!!!
Dude with what money? Him like others don't have the finances to retain a lawyer! He might write to the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Just a thought.
He shouldn’t be driving anyway. He’s been in it long enough to have stacked his money. He’d be taking a job from an American with a young family. We have enough illegals doing that.
Your a fool, everyone has a limit, overweight should be banned for safety reasons.
My mentor is in same boat passes med card but insurance won't let him work
The Kellys truckstop in Shreveport Louisiana this gentleman mentioned as his favorite truckstop, was a 76 Auto/Truckstop back then...the Kelley family sold it to Petros maybe 20-25 years ago, it's still open today... Awesome interview ❤❤
Respect 🙏
Good interview
A little secret this old driver needs to know. Get your own Truck and your own insurance will be back to normal. The loop hole my company uses is that drivers that are uninsurablle due to saps or accidents become insurable when they buy their own trucks and sign on that way.
If they buy their own trucks the drivers pay extra for insurance, his point is paying 15k extra is not something he or any company wants to support
@CarlosRoman904 one of our drivers is 83 years old and still does flatbed with his own unit. He pays 1200 a month.
@Chiefgeargrinder oh I thought regardless the insurance companies will charge more good to know
@@CarlosRoman904 dude, when I started in 2017, I was paying $18K/yr ... I got rejected before that for a speeding ticket, so I went bought me a $10K truck, got my own MC at $18/yr ... Fast forward, now I still have my $10K truck, paid off reefer, and insurance is $4K/yr everything included.... So ya this old guy is full of crap 😂
One of your best interviews EVER! LOVE listening to these old hands talk shop!
It was great spending time with him
I remember when I drove tomatoes trucks. There was an old school driver. Late 80’s. He would run. In his 80’s the dispatcher told the night dispatcher. 1 load(275 miles) he would take 2 and the night dispatcher got chewed out. He had a stroke. Drove with his right arm. Rest his left arm in the steering wheel and shifted with the left.
Respect for the old school drivers
Please gives this guy a chance 😢 you can tell trucking in his blood
He's too old. Have some sense.
It's a huge RISK.
@@narc6150 yup. Probably too stuck in his old ways ... Plus WE DONT KNOW his driving record ... It could be very messy 😂, bunch'a crashes here and there ...
I am 75 yrs old drove the B macks too .today my son drive for 20yrs now it like driving a Cadillac
Belive me you would not drive a truck if it was like we had it .
God-bless
America 🇺🇸
God-bless

@@theodorebowers9737 there's always a trumptard bringing in unneeded politics to the discussion 😂
This ole Man would make an excellent driving school trainer.
A true Highway Man
I’m 64 years old and driving for TP Trucking pulling a flatbed. Give them a call.
I'm 43 years over the road and now DOT rule that I'm disqualified for CDL holding and they take back my CDL
This man should be driving, he don't even wear eye glasses
I Drove a Radio Flyer tricycle in 62😅
We had a 92 year old at our company and one day I sat and talked to him at a shipper for like a hour. Absolutely amazing
They wont hire you? Forget em. 61 years exp means you open a driving school and show them how its done.
Man this was a cool interview you can tell he just really loved it every word was genuine
As someone who grew up in Northwestern Minnesota, his references to freezing in North Dakota hit home. There was one winter where I broke the passenger window of my diesel pickup truck (1988 F350 with the 7.3 idi). That winter we had windchills of -75 degrees. I had to let my truck idle for days at a time because the temperatures never reached zero degrees Fahrenheit for weeks at a time. When driving I had to bundle up in blankets, insulated coveralls and a bomber hat. But my first car didn’t have a working blower motor, so I had to roll the windows down to defrost them, and turn the heat off to prevent frost. That was dang cold. At least the pickup had working heat (that is, once the engine warmed up after idling or driving for an hour).
I lived near Grand Forks, ND for a few years. Now I live in north-central South Dakota, close to the ND boarder. By most people’s standards it’s virtually the Arctic here during the winter, but by my standards it’s a tropical climate.
I've never stop loving being in the midst of trucks i only get fuel from trucks stops while traveling just came back 2 weeks ago from a 3 k mile car road trip loved the trucks stop and just seeing the trucks yall be safe. Love this old trucker
Insurance…A LEGAL WAY TO STEAL MONEY FROM THE WORKING CLASS!!
They look at him as a liability 😮😮 per insurance
Kelly's in Shreveport is now a Petro
It’s the TA
@@jeffforrest2816 google it
A man with this kind of knowledge would make a good trainer. I learned to drive listening men like this wayyyy before CDL and driving schools everywhere. I learned washing trucks, fixing flats, and getting the do's and don'ts from guys hanging around the shop. They were a wealth of knowledge.
He needs to take up acting, taking roles as a retired trucker. Don’t even need to give a firm script. Just let him ad lib. He’d crush it! 🤗
Agreed
He’s 88 years we can respect the experience but his cognitive abilities are deteriorating so it’s a huge liability.
Mmm, he might speak slow, but thats just wear and tear, and maybe bc of where hes from
Some men don't know when to hang up their hat. 88, cmon man go home...
But some newb is no liability. His experience more than makes up for his cognitive abilities. 88 though I’d be done
The likelihood of him dying at the wheel is much higher than some noob
But Biden is The President!
If I had a trucking company I would hire you in a heartbeat
There is a reason why social insecurity starts at 62. Originally people did not make it past their 60's. Also there needs to be common sense to just go retire and enjoy life a little bit. I know plenty of drivers in their 60's and 70's that already collect a fat pension plus social insecurity. I tell them to go home already because I am not old enough to collect anything and need the freight. Some told me the did not save and will not compromise their lifestyle at home. Then I remind them they are never home. Duh!
Live longer and you will understand
Common misconception, while the average age of death was just under 60 at the time of social security formation, that's only because the infant mortality rate, as well as the child mortality rate, were so high. The young dying so frequently skewed the statistics drastically, but as childcare got better, the life expectancy went up
61yrs!!!!!!!!!!! I'm guessing he's 79.
You're way to old to drive. Need to enjoy life.
If driving is your passion, sign up for uber to keep your mind busy, make your own calls
That's a hard core driver . Driver for life ❤❤❤❤❤
I think he said 81
@@ALCRAN2010 83 he said.
Id rather have the cab of an 18wheeler for my prison!!! Than the prison of boredom 😮
I bet that he doesn't park at the fuel island.
And if he does, he’s got a pass.
With the absolute highest amount of respect there is-If the gentleman has 61 years trucking experience and he started professionally driving when he was 21 years old he would be right at or just over 80 years old now. He has done his time behind the wheel and he should certainly retire and enjoy the rest of his life.
Yup 84
@@MuthaTrucker ya used to have to be 25 years-old to drive INTERstate (insurance rules)
retired OTR Reefer 1977-2009 - (I remember one hand on the wheel & the other scraping ice off the inside of the windshield & a blanket wrapped around my feet !)
I give it to him old timer I myself been drinking for a long time but I always tell myself that as you get older and start to age you also have to understand you be come a higher risk do to health issues and you become a liability to the company and community if you are a commercial driver it’s reality that we have to understand and accept it
Best interview you've ever done, would've watched an hour of this gentleman talking!
Thank you for your service!!!!
Alex, I sent you that information. Owner operator in need of a driver to drive his truck while he's recovering from his heart attack.
Truck sitting in yard. He gets paid and Robert gets some income flowing for his family .
Pasadena TX
Love that driver, he funny and full of history " will buy the fuel if you hire me 😅😅😅😅"
This driver has forgotten more than most of today's drivers will ever know.
I love this man ❤ he’s adorable
this man is a national treasure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🕶️❤️
I started in 76 still driving today just not as much. 35 years of that was livestock.
WOW. This guy is down to earth and nice
42 years & experienced the same thing! Where I live they're screaming for drivers, but they damn sure won't hire you if they find out you have more than a million miles experience.
Good for him man, trucking sucks now compared to how it was.
Remember getting S&H green stamps, My grandma loved getting them from me.
I gotta go to Texas just to meet this legend.
Let me tell you guys something the old guys LOVE to teach and I say that as a 66 year old guy who still drives but if it stopped you can show younger guys what you’ve learned you always keep learning
Absolutely loved this interview
🫡
He could teach drivers.
Been driving for 44 years it's not fun anymore to much regulation
God bless this man.
Hey that was very very good. Do more of those inspirational 😎👍🇺🇸
I be willing to hire him for a trip I'm going next month .
Help haul my off road toys to hurricane UT . Spend a week up thier and back .
Possible few stops along the way
Help me drive the pickup truck 😊😊😊
I can relate to this guy,these companies say no discrimination but i sure experienced it,age discrimination
i got 25 years and at 47 yr old none of the big companies would hire me either. They don't want experienced drivers anymore. clean driving record and no accidents.
& hands bye far one of the very best interviews that u have ever done on yur channel 💯 %
Western Express needs to hire him as an instructor
This man needs a youtube channel telling trucking stories!
I was told once that I was not hired by a company because I was an owner /operator successfully for many years,. They seemed to think I would have bad habits,the only bad habit I ever had in my 35 year carreer over the road was working hard
Ive been on the road for 30 years and im disgusted how so many foreign drivers think its a sport . Legs up on the dash , tailgating , taking there breaks on the fuel island , throwing there trash everywhere .....And then the idiotic ELD's , Automatic trucks , Collision mitigation crap ....its all garbage pushed on carriers by the scumbag insurance companys
And yet--- trucking is NO SAFER, OR BETTER.
Schneider would hire him. When I was an in house instructor my oldest student was 82 years old. I don’t know if he could stand all the rules being an ex chicken hauler though.
Diamond Js on I-80 In Pennsylvania was the big hangout spot, I miss those days so much!!!
OG got it going on!
Please don't hang yourself " BROOKS" 😅😅😅😅😅 LIVE YOUR LIFE, ENJOY IT
I run into guys at just about every shipper and receiver that do not speak one word of English. Many of them cannot back into the docks and I'm always getting out and guiding them in. That's who is getting hired.
Time has changed in the trucking industry for the better or worse. I will say in my 33 years of truck driving regulations has changed for the better to get rid of bad drivers and companies. Some regulations are way overboard. I’m glad I retired 7 years ago in my late 50’s.
