😎👊..awesome..never been a big fan of western star trucks but the one in the video is sharp..like the bodystyle of it..they've looking better over the years..and..much respect for the lady trucker...👊😎

mike i watched an episode of american trucker where a women drove a truck 4 western distributing in co.she hauled a load of potato chips over the mountians but the chips were in a reefer trailer.thats how they were kept from exploding,fun fact.

First time I've heard a compression release in a long, long time! A sweet sound. P.S. Jersey Boy living in California for the last 50+ years. Love to see any B-61 Mack action you can record! First truck I ever drove around the yard at age 13 was a 1961 B-61 and I have vivid memories of the sounds, smells and feel!

Good morning Mike. I would think that airplane potato chips would be fine because they’re in the pressurized cabin with the passengers. Just a thought. Have fun at the truck show.

Great stuff as always! I think KRAFT Marshmallows had to be hauled on the south route, too. Or the bags would pop open. There were 3 or 4 types of that freight MCT hauled like that. I forgot all about that until I saw this. You're AWESOME 👌. A Real KZread Big Strapp'r would of said they drove over Donner Pass so fast the HIGH ALTITUDE Pressure didn't have time to ruin the load. Or that they had a trick to run with the back doors open to release the low pressure to the High pressure atmosphere...LOL! Peace & Grease!

I drive a 2016 Mack Pinnacle with a 10 speed. It's governed at 65 and a half, and it has moments that drive me crazy. Great video as always, stay safe and have a great week.

I left trucking in 2007 after 30 years. I never even did logs that accurately reflected what I did. I merely did legal logs. 1 time in 30 years a Conn. Trooper got me at the barracks I think near Lyme? I forget. They had portables set up. I had been on vacation for 2 weeks and neglected to restart my logs... so I looked over 2 weeks behind. I drove from Jersey to Uncasville Conn. Swapped trailers and headed south... and wham... made me "sleep" for 8 hours... ruined my day. Love the old Autocar... I saw you messing around starting it... and I was thinking... compression reliese... compression reliese.... And there you go. Starting trucks in the cold used to be an art...

Good afternoon Mr Mike hope you and your family are well I always enjoy your video's man 👨 I have drove a few old Acar's that one is pretty sweet

Love the to see the old trucks . After watching you clean it , it’s going to be a beautiful Sunday in Rhode Island , im going to make a Bloody Mary and detail the Tacoma 😅

Mike- Great story about the Kool-Whip. I have a couple of storys with Kool-Whip that I can't tell on this channel. Save the manuals, peace and grease. JM

Was digging some of that ASMR in the beginning…Boston Trucker style 👉🏼👈🏼

I grew up around coal trucks always thought I would drive one but the coal ran out so I had to do something else. Thus I have been a flight attendant 33 years so about the chips yes they do deflate sometimes on a plane. Some don't They are actually sealed pretty stout some older folks can't even open them we do it for them lol. Pilots have duty regs and long haul flights carry 3 pilots and they have bunks to sleep in on the planes we do as well. Love your content. Oh yeah I played LOAM in a word game and laughed!!

In the UK, with the guys I watch over there, the speed is limited to 56 mph on all trucks! Take care Mike. Todd the retired trucker.

​@@denzel270depends on company, some set the limiter lower, our company tried them at 53 but the economy was no better so there all back at 56 lol

afternoon Mike love the A- Car need to see the video of you grabbing gears 😎 stay dry pal been getting rain down here for the last 2 weeks hard to stay clean

school n bus traffic is brutal...enjoy the week Mike!

Nice old Auto car. Keep on Trucking.

One of my favorite videos of your's is with Ben Senter and the 64 peterbilt that is a cool truck 🚚

Mike,, governed at 68mph use to get me in some embarrassing situations ,,,,when you fall out to pass a refrigerated unit rig it was like you pulled a parachute and now your in the "hammer lane out of steam and the 4 wheelers have filled the slot and can't get back over,,,,

Jets cabins are pressurized which allows you to breathe and keeps the chips from busting.

Another Sunday morning with the Boston Trucker. I stopped running the road before the ELD mandate, then drove (local) for years after with the ELD. I couldn’t see running the road with it but my gig now it doesn’t affect me in the least. I run a 500 mile out and back average 10 a day. On top of that in a company truck set at 68 mph. Catch you on the flip flop driver. ✌️

The thing with the cool whip,and other sealed things going into elevation is true. I seen a video, I forgot who did it. Did an interview with the company Western Distribution, not Western Freight. Their based in Colorado. To haul thing that are pressure sensitive. The use refer trailers, not to cool the loade,but to pressurized the trailer so there's no issues. Same with the bags of chips on an airplane. The cabin is pressurized to prevent bags popping.

Looks like a professional painted that auto car.

Jet airliners are pressurized to keep the self loading freight comfortable.

I retired before the ELD mandate and was off for about a year and a half then went back to local for 3 years and didn't have to mess with it. Now seems like every day they want to do something else to make the job harder.I enjoyed trucking the 40 year i did it but with all the BS going on now im glad i don't have the urge to get back in another one again

Im late to the party today, but wont miss it for anything

They need to put the limiters on the automatics only👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice vid Mike!

That is what I like about driving coal trucks I can sleep in my own bed every night and don't have to putt up with the loogs😊

Right on!

Airplanes are pressurized so the altitude doesn’t affect the chips

Cool video Mike, I read an article the guy incharge of airplanes has military and commercial flight experience, the guy in charge of trucking has never drove truck, probably doesn't have a CDL , What the heck is wrong with this picture, no wonder the trucking industry is messed up

Airplanes are pressurized

We are limited to 90 kph in New Zealand but most trucks will do 100 kph

Bonjour,👍💪🏻🙏🇫🇷

Hopefully your new truck will have all the controls for the trailer suspension dump valve and tailgate lock in the cab and you won’t have to walk through the mud every trip.

Truckers are advised not to drive through Colorado with potato chip bags because the bags will pop. The factory has to prepare bags specially for high elevations

Airplanes are pressurized.

Let the truckers be truckers & monitor the "Boneheads", unfortunately the opposite seems to be going on. Love the Autocah!

I can smell 50K

I take it that the black super liner is no longer the fleet? I never see it in your videos except the opening.

One real thing about this channel is super trucker Mike can drive any big rig out here!!!!! Proof ☝🏻

Get this Mike our company bought 8 X series 2022 western star tandems govern at 98 Km an hr or 61 miles an hr where your from. My 2009 Mac is govern at 110 km an hr or 68 miles where your from. 🇨🇦

No airplane cabins are pressurized

Cool whip or like Stewie from family guy says Coowhip

Needs to be lettered & pinstriped

My pete is governed....at 75 🤣

Say Boston Trucker for your 20% discount

If you cant run over 70 in a 70.... Its no good. its unsafe. Sometimes you need that extra few MPH to pass Lower Speed is not going to help the idiots who keep crashing. Never knew about the food problem and elevation

Is the Ottacah a 4+4, 5+3, 5+4??

I would urge everyone to protect your rights as a driver! Once they are gone you don’t get them back! Speed limiters are first off very unsafe and a general nuisance. Please contact your reps and just say no! Don’t be led to slaughter by sticking it head in the sand!

Well said.

Government wants to slow commerce down with speed ! Can slow Tks but cars still do 90 ! Governored Tks r dangerous clog traffic

Speed limiters on trucks will be horrible for ALL motorists not just trucks. Just watch a Nascar race on a super speedway where they have restrictor plates and you will see the most incredible wrecks. No just imagine all of these trucks going the same speed blocking traffic and pissed off 4 wheeler s cutting them off and break checking! But what do I know, I dont have a law degree. The more laws they make the less safe it becomes thats just fact.

You know plenty 👍

balls to the wall is a ww2 saying

Is that your buisness?

Totally on board with letting truckers limit themselves on their speed, payload, etc. But I’ll add, it’s all fun and games until you have a loaded tri-axle in the passing lane doing about 90 MPH, and crashes into multiple vehicles and almost kills someone. Can’t say it’s impossible, because it’s happened!! There will be dumb drivers out there, but anyone with common sense and some experience in driving will know better.

Then Don’t vote for it this time.
