what a great video john i love it the hollies was always a good stop as your food was ready before you sat down your very welcome down my yard anytime im close to the hollies

What a great video Before everything as follows: Having to wear hi visibility Internet GPS Camera in the truck Emission Controls Speed limiters Electronic Work Diaries Drug Test Rat Race Traffic Jam Speed Camera When trucking was trucking, life was simpler, good money was to be made, everyone helped everyone, you got there when you got there. What have we lost in 30 years & it's going to get worse. I am 50 years old been in trucking 35 years & I remember all these classic european prime movers here in Australia. Still a few of them getting around, but unfortunately today's truck drivers wouldn't know how to drive one because it has a stick. Thoroughly enjoyable video

Yeah mate. These were the days when a truck had a stick and 3 pedals. It was a pleasure to drive.

@@ClaudioSilva-rv9zb So true, I love driving my bosses old girl because no else wants to drive it & know how. 1996 Scania Day Cab Cabover 420 hp , 12 speed straight pipe boosted to 470 hp. No cruise control, 3 pedal in & out of the quarry grossing 40 tons & she sounds awesome on hands & knees in 3 rd gear at 1900 rpm going through the cutting. No changing gears to steep of a climb, holding up the 600 hp Benz's & 730 Hp Scania's behind me wanting to push me along. Nothing like old school trucking

First class. McArdle and Mackin convoy at the end 👌

Takes me back to school holidays in the cab with my dad bless him....happy times.

I was 10 year old wen this was made, reminds me of trucking with my dad back in the day, 28 years later Im now a trucker of 18 years and boy how times have changed !! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pure class 👍☘🇮🇪

Remember the Irish trucks coming past my uncle like he was stood still in his 112m back in the 80s He used to sit at 60 65mph too Great days of trucking

Top men back in the day.and still are.

Kinda felt sorry for the poor guy in the Sierra on the hard shoulder. Nearly every truck blowing past him doing 70mph .must have been shifting himself.

when 60 mph was the limit unless you was irish then the limit was the red line on you rev counter

Correct

Great job on the camera,makes me feel part of this wonderful group of people👏👏

When lorries gave me a buzz.Lovely to see

before the 90 km/hr limiters were fitted

Brings back some memories, funny how I knew that is was the Hollies from the first few seconds, not that I frequented it often!!!!!

Proper trucks keep her lit👍👍

No 59 km limited trucks back then. Sadly I recognise some of trucks from Ireland, I knew quite a few, and the drivers . Keep it up all night.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I remember seeing some of them when I was a chap going off in the truck with the ould lad

Unreal 👍

ALOT A RED MC ARDLES ON IT. MY LATE DAD AND BROTHER WORKED FOR THEM. A GREAT COMPANY. I THINK THATS MY BROTHER,S 142 IN THE MC ARDLES LINE UP. SOME PLANT IN ITS DAY. 👍
