I wanna drive old blue

It's nice to hear from guys from back in my day, I started driving in 1963, and still have my CDL and move specialized machinery all over the country. I'm originally from Texas which is where I started, My first truck was a D model Mack truck with a 5X4 transmission.

This put a smile onto my husband's face. Thank you! Trucking has been so hard lately, this really made him happy!

I had more fun and laughed harder than I have in a long time listening to those 2 old fellers. Thank you, you made my day!

Busted the stall door open and came backing in bare-assed making back up beeper sounds😆. Great. Great mental picture! My kind of people...

The art of spinning a good yarn is alive and well here on the Steady At The Wheel podcast! No matter what the topic, a skilled storyteller can intrigue an audience and keep them listening……..and that’s exactly what I’ve been finding here week after week. 👍 Great jobs gents!!

I can’t believe they were trucking outlaws. I drove truck for the studios and was a driver for most of the star wars movies. Crazy times.

2nd time I watched this, please bring these to old characters on again. Never laughed so hard in my life!

This never gets old. I have watched this so many times and still laugh my ass off. Sent this link to lads I know back in Ireland and they love it. Billy Jack is born storyteller.

You need to do another of these. They are great. I am 80 so I remember the old livestock haulers. I still drive 5 over but when I see a bull hauler in my rear-view mirror I pull over because I know they are doing 15 over. especially between Bridgeport and Chadron.

Awesome story's guys! Brought back some great memories for me. I stopped hauling hogs and cattle back in 1990. I started in 1977 pulling a hopper, and a little drop deck from time to time. I kept trucking till 2015. I was blessed to truck the whole us, and most of Canada. I look forward to a lot more of these! Thanks to all of you!

Russ is Billy Jack's younger brother. I think it was mentioned, but quickly. There was so many stories in here that came fairly quickly that we are planning on a couple episodes to go back through this episode and provide some context and further information about things. Who Russ is is a great example.

Also, Rooster's name is Russ. Bit confusing because there were two Russ's referenced in the podcast. The only time Billy Jack's brother Russ is mentioned is the story about drying off with the stained towel. All other references to Russ is Rooster.
