In case anyone was wondering that man 7 minutes in was rebuilding his engine under a bridge. Don’t see that anymore.

You telling me they have a video of some one in the 90s saying the rates aren’t where they should be wow life is such a big ass circle

This is such a great video reminds me of growing up in the 90’s riding with my dad and my brother in their trucks. I miss all the trucks of the 90’s the Freightliner FLD 120 condo will always be my favorite.

I used to get off of 40 at the Seligmam AZ exit and run old Rt 66 into Kingman. It was probably one of favorite routes. I ran a short hood Pete 359, Cat 3406A, Fuller 14613 13 speed. I put 3/4 million miles on it. I want to thank you for keeping me connected to my past. Lots of love Brother Keep on Truckin'!

You did it again Mike! Another outstanding cool and historical video showing off the Trucking industry the way it use to be. Alot of COE's and alot of companies that are now gone. Even a good old Midwest Coast Transport. Great Stuff !

Im glad i was able to atleast experience tucking in the 90's riding with my dad. I still love it to this day, but in my own opinion the 90's were the last of the old school days. No GPS, no cell phones, the trucks were trucks and drivers were not only steering wheel holders.🤠😎😎

yep ive put that movie up on my channel as well ive got one of the original copies of that movie at home, absolutely love it, if i would have the time for it i would love to translate it for you!

How to understand on English, I had a blast in 1992. Hard worker with husband. Miss these days.

Great video Mike. Brings back a lot of memories. 80s- 90s were good days for trucking .

Cliff Steen. Anyone remember him. I lived in Houston 91-92 near his yard. Located where the Flying J is now I45 and airtex. What about Tigator👍

Great Video Mike awesome! I really enjoy all your videos, ive trucked thru the mid 70,s and 80,90,2000! Saw alot of truck,s and driver,s on here that I knew and met on the road, from the days of being a Owner Operator Trucking around the country mostly Cali. The one photo ecspecially 7:27 caught my eye the older GT. Goodway Transport Freightliner company truck looks like it was parked at the old Beacon Truck Stop off Milliken Ave. In Ontario Ca. across from the T/A & old 76 back in around 1992! Or 93 spent many of times there waiting for early morning deliveries around the Los Angeles area.Them were good ole days of Trucking let me tell ya if you driven back then and lived thru it, ya know what I mean.✌🏼

I'm happy to have you watching my videos! My first trip to LA I got off at Milleken and pulled into the Beacon not knowing the deal and pulled out just as fast realizing that it wasn't for me, TA east side was my second home after that.

This is my first comment, Mike. I watch all the time. But Truckin' in the 90's hit home. I was an owner operator and a Gypsy, Wildcatter in the late 70's until 89. You guessed it , I ran produce out of mostly California but some Florida . I ran mostly I81 and I40 so I love this one.

I spent 1995 thru 2003 flatbeding in my T600 and Century Class. Some of the best times trucking.

Great video! My father drove for matlack in the 80s, hadn't thought about that in a long time👌. Thanks Mike, love your content

LOL 😂, I started OTR in one of those JB HUNT Cabovers, back then they only ran 58mph, that was JB Hunt’s Company Speed. Driving through Texas was pure Torture, 60 mph for trucks and 55 mph at night, and they meant it. 100% The best thing about back then; there were 500 thousand less trucks on the Road back then!

Pretty cool! I remember you mentioned "" Glass etching "" in another video. I think it was one of the truck shows. Yeah, another world. You can catch enough with every couple word's in English popping up and of course the video rolling to understand the gist of the conversations. Thanks for sharing this with us. I was surprised by the amount of Swift trucks that I saw. Maybe they weren't so notorious back in the day? I really don't remember that much stuff about them. Thanks again for keeping the stories and history alive.

That's actually the same glass guy that did my truck, he traveled around to all the truck shows in a big bus.

awesome video, Mike👍👍👍

Those were some great days back in the day when driving a truck was freedom from working with out someone looking over your sholder all the time.Thats why I started driving and loved the job Drivers helped one another they talked to each other it was so much fun. Nowadays with the government so entrenched into the industry with overregulation and the CDL schools that only teach how to get your license and nothing else the attitudes of drivers its no fun anymore. Trucks back then had a personality now they all look alike or futuristic the way they are designed. I personally miss the old days and am glad that im retired i loved the job and don't regret doing it at all just wish it was like it used to be. Thanks Mike for going down memory lane 👍

Mike I just wanna say thank you for another great and beautiful video always thank you for sharing. Thanks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇹

Thanks for the show Mike 🍻 🇦🇺

Idc it’s in German, I enjoy watching this kind of stuff ☺️☺️

Cool movie! Thanks!

Who remembers Lowboy Lucas's TV show? And this is early 90's. The Mack was heavily pushing the then all new CH at the time. Mack even gave one to the TV show Motorweek to test. That video is on KZread somewhere.

I remember him and that Mack CH, I drove it on Louisville and I e got a picture of me in it, meanwhile I already was driving one for Bud Meyer because we got the first ones built

Definitely brings back memories even though I didn't start driving until 99 most of the trucks and truckstops were still the same started out with USA Truck in a FLD Flatty exactly like the one at 7:36

Plus you have a aluminum trailer those steal racks will slide real bad when you hit your brakes hard. Don't want to to get hit in the back of the head with a coil going through your sleeper and cab.

That was a really awesome video, I sure do miss the truckstop whip Café. I remember those telephones at the booth, and the payphones all lined up in a row at the TA. I started in 2000 so I caught just the end of the era. I remember having to stop to make a call on the payphone to the customer to get directions because the math book would always bring you to the city in those directions. We’re only right at the time. They would always give you directions for a four wheeler, so you always had to watch it when you went to the big city. Truckee was definitely more of a challenge back then.

Very cool

7:27 chop top black t600 you rarely see those around

""""I didn't see no Ford/GMC cavober in this video, only Mack cabover."""" Anyways, I saw a bad ass Peterbilts, Kenworths, and a lot of Freightliners convoys. Good international trucks were presented.
