    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.

      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

    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

    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.

  • @mikesilkebrilliantstuff.2997
    @mikesilkebrilliantstuff.2997 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

      @europa2000man 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You said it lad. Feck the ad-blue. It's not a proper truck if it needs ad blue to run. Bring back the good old 143
