A little info. The Mill Pond Diner sits next to what was the oldest nail factory in the country. The factory was the Tremont Nail Factory. I think it operated for 157 years at the original location. Now I think the company exists in Mansfield Ma. Still producing cut nails. Anyone can search the web for the history which is fascinating.

I really admire people who have mastered the art and science of maneuvering a large articulated transport vehicle, and doing it with good humor. I take note of how well you shift that transmission. No grinding, no missed shifts. Smooth as butter. That takes long practice. That cabover Peterbilt is a handsome rig. I hope you can keep it going for a long time. Old school operator, old school truck.

Steve, I don't know how you do it. Cranking out these videos every couple of days must be maddening. I know I couldn't do it. With all you have to do just driving, it's amazing that you can find the time to set up the cameras, do all the editing, get your freight delivered safely and on time, and get these vids out. My hat's off to you. That said, love the content and am always looking forward to you releasing new ones. I was raised in Passaic and as another ex-NJ citizen, all I can say is "Keep on truckin'"! You 'da man...

Love American cab overs ... Great channel ... respect from Plymouth UK 🇬🇧

Steve, thanks for sharing and letting me ride along. KZread sent you to me. Enjoy your videos

Awesome! Fall River is also home to the Lizzie Borden Murder House. One of the more infamous crime scenes in US history.

Yet another great video, Steve! If you haven't been, to The Mammie, for a tour, I highly recommend it! This was a arranged stop for my Dad's ships reunion. He was a Tin Can Sailor. The Joseph. P Kennedy DD850, is moored thier with BB59 Massachusetts. The Kennedy is the Sister ship to my Dad's ship, DD840 USS GLENNON. They have diesel sub and a few PT boats also. Interesting fact. Most, if not all PT boats, were powered by three V12 Allison Aircraft Engines and they were supercharged! The exhaust would exit under water, for more quiet operations, until full throttle. Then there was no hiding the boats. A flap, would open letting all exhaust exit above water

The Big Mamie fought in WW2, took a cannon to her side as and still kept trucking. She sits gloriously on the side of the Braga. FYI:one of the oldest carousels in the country is also located here.

next time your up in NE with the family, take a tour of that battleship and the other boat next to it plus a submarine

Thank you for taking the time to show us historical points of interest!

Where I grew up in Maine 1000' down the road was a set or falls that i would swim in. It had a water driven grinding mill back in the 1900s. Little town called monroe maine and it's the falls that are on the N center rd.

Not a fuel gauge. Fuel pressure that gives him an idea when to change to fuel filter(s). Seen that on many older trucks. I'm guessing the newer ones are digital and don't have that issue anymore.

An old timer told me a long time ago to always set yourself up.to.leave. I will pull up and get out , take a look at what I'm getting into. Then I'll do what's best for me. But all that being said, that's some great advice about backing in and controlling the road.

16:15 LOL imagine finding history 20 miles from where the pilgrims landed.....amazing...

When my son was in Boy Scouts, we spent a whole weekend on that ship, including sleeping in genuine bunks / hammocks or whatever they were called. It was a lot of fun. There were many places nobody was allowed to go, like inside the turrets but it was still fun & educational regardless. Good experience.

Good thing guy on bike didn't see your camera it might have rode off into the moon light lol looks like they would have docked the ship a little bit further from the bridge but guess it's so people can see it better stay safe

I toured the sub and Battleship. Subs are not made for big men. Watch your head. Ithe whole battleship tour is great. Take the sweetheart 💕 to the port bow and show her the long low sink with no faucets. Its a ship urinal.

Great video

Orwell looks bad ass all lit up at night. Awesome!

That little bug or dirt on the windshield view had me scratching at my screen trying to get it off.

Two weeks ago I was on Massachusetts sister ship USS Alabama. What's cool about the Alabama compared to the Iowa class battleships like the New Jersey is that it still has most of it 40mm bofers and 20mm oerlikons and it's float plane catapult. Iowa class ships where modernized during the 80's and that stuff was removed to make way for tomahawk cruise missiles and the phalanx close-in weapons system.

Curious who you have and if you had dead areas

I been to places like that where it's never easy to back in to the loading dock. And that is the way i always go the back roads where u avoid weigh stations and pay booths. Plus u can always find places that has a good mom and pop restaurant and also a good place to do laundry at. Plus a good bar to go have fun and have a few beers and shoot pool. Worse place i have to back in is way worse where u was at. When i back in the Staff has to move all of there vehicles and van's to another location. And they have to stop traffic each side so i can back in. And they have to monitor the clients to make sure they don't get in traffic and be in the way. It's a workshop for disabled people. I go there about every 2 week's. And when i arrive and blare the horns. The staff knows it's time to stop and go out and block traffic so he can back in. They just purchased a bigger building and will have more room for the clients . And also bigger and better loading area. I seen it and the clients was like now u don't have to stop traffic and driver's get mad and u throw objects at them. One guy tried to run a client over that can't hardly see .. He had a huge rock in his lap when i tossed it in his front window. The guy can no longer drive anymore. Cause of the charges he had against him and the guy had DWI charges on his driving record.

With all those over head cables, who checks the height is correct? Who pays if you take one out?

Definitely not Iowa class. The big Mammie is a North Carolina class ship. The Iowa class are BB61 IOWA, BB62 NEW JERSEY, BB63 MISSOURI, BB64 WISCONSIN & BB65 KENTUCKY. The Kentucky wasn't completed, the war was over before completion. It was scrapped. The bow was used to repair the Wisconsin, after the ship collided with a destroyer. This is how the Wisconsin got it's nickname Wiskey. They did use two of the Kentucky's, engines in refueling ships. There was a sixth Iowa class, BB 66 ILLINOIS, that was in the planning stages and never started. They had plans for a Montana class battleship too. Information had them to be bigger than the Iowa class, which are huge!
