Great stories of your dad and deciding as a father and protector that you were ready at such an age to not only have a faith in you to do the wheel-work but also to have the faith that he could trust you enough where he felt comfortable that you wouldn't endanger him or any other man and his loved ones! Try doing that today, and getting caught? Land of the free? Ha! , Why do we still fool ourselves? Shoot, i know plenty adults who i wouldn't trust with a shopping cart nevermind a 80,000 lb plus truck! Props to your dad and you!

Guys like Rooster who worked that hard to feed his family and EARN his money are my Heros ... he is a real man !

The pride on roosters face when his pride and joy fired off was priceless!

Haha that suit jacket looks good on matey..the shoulder pads..OMG! Hey my follow Bearded Brother love the video. Hope you and the beautiful family are doing well? Take care love from North Devon, England x

Awesome story about learning to drive while rooster was sleeping same as my story I couldn’t tell you how many miles I ran back from 98 to 2000 with my step dad Tom in a 1994 western star all across Texas Louisiana New Mexico and Oklahoma I’d wake him up couple miles before the scales we would swap on the fly get past the scales he’d go back to bed I’d wake him up before the next state line I was 14 first time I thought I was the coolest kid ever we were turning so many miles we had 4 log books at one point that old star never stopped

i always get a smile when learning about, some good ole boy ingenuity! That's what really made America great! Thanks Rooster and you too Jax!

You could see in Roosters eyes a special GLOW when it fired-up 🤗..... Family history being made when it gets your kids driving it and doing the old-school switch-a-rew before the DOT hot spots! Lol! Can totally relate to loading + unloading small square bales, both the small + larger square bales, loved the workout.... now I have to watch you young guns have all the pleasure lol! 😂🕶️🤠

@@realwildwildwest sounds like he did it more than once over your young trucking career. Now he has to be proud of your current trucking episodes of Wild Wild West.

When towing without breaks, use a smaller chain and run it through a large pipe and the pipe will keep you from going forward to close to the vehicle in front of you. That's what we did back on the farm in Michigan.

While rooster was towing you I figured for sure that black smoke coming out of the stacks with you popping the clutch. That 400 Cummins is iconic!

I worked with a driver in the mid 70s, had a cabover freightliner, had a dead axle on front of tandem, it used v belts for winter driving, wheel spacers were v groove, belts ran from rear axle to front tandems. Later years, mid nineties, I talked to an older trucker,, he was 85 years old, DOT had him out service, told me first truck he drove had solid rubber tires, another truck later on he drove had a hand stick, Manuel linkage for trailer brakes.. I didn't doubt him..

I'm cabover guy myself frieghtshaker lol . After driving school in cabover hauling new furniture sadly furniture and cabover died allot companies went out business like rooster they started old trucks . Made name of their own old man started it told wild stories on road 🛣️ well what roads did exist at time . Pay respects rooster and guys started industry of trucking.

I raise Boer goats small scale out in California. The livestock dealers that buy larger scale hogs, sheep, and goats from our sale barns still love those double decker side chute trucks. Not many of them left out here though. Mostly only seen at the local livestock auctions.

Gotta love 'Arm-strong' steering ay Jax? lol

Ran a little short '68 GMC 9500 single axle, 6-71, 5&2 with 30' Wilson side loader for McMinnville Auction out of McMinnville Oregon in the late 70's-'94 hauling livestock. Hauled wild horses out of Nevada for the wild horse auctions....James

About 40 yrs ago I helped remove a truck body from a truck frame. Horace ,70 years old at the time, got under the truck, and in 20 minutes cut off 4 u bolts with an old fashioned Hand Powered Hack Saw. He thru them to a guy who said we needed to torch off and it couldn't be done by hand. btw....i got tons of battery powered tools myself, but not a battery band saw!! You got a great channel Jax.

I'm the daughter and a granddaughter of lifelong truckers. I've heard lots of stories of them hauling Cattle to the Omaha stockyards back in the 50's and 60's. My Dad started driving an old 1949 GMC stock farm truck at age 12 or 13. Dad went on in his adult years to be an over the road trucker for Pepsi-Cola in Omaha. He was with Pepsi for over 30 years. Like your Dad mine never had an empty load. The would haul flower and pasta from Omaha to the caves in KC and then bring back a load of empty pop to Omaha. We lost my Dad in 2016. Thank You so much for sharing your adventures. My Dad would have loved this channel and watching makes me feel closer to him. Thanks Again.

Farmers who can’t necessarily afford Vet visits…well…they do their own inoculations. From what I’m hearing we are looking at a National penicillin shortage with none to be delivered until late November? Talking with some peeps…they simply cannot find essential medications for their stock. Any issues for you and yours? Going to be a tough year if pets, livestock and people cannot obtain essential Meds. Ok…on the bright side…kids look great! Wife looks great. Grandpa looks stellar…saw some blue sky… Me? Thanks for asking…. I’m all over Amazon trying to find that shoulderbladed black jacket…pronto-like. Have a breakdancing gig on Thursday…need it…it’ll help me nab a lady or two.
