I remember lots of those gone by trucking outfits, I always felt bad for those guys driving single cab. I would never drive a truck like that! I often took family members, along for company. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Wonderful looking rigs! 🤩 I saw many of these growing up in WV...cabovers ruled the road back then. I even saw a few drom boxes on rigs.😳 What a walk down memory lane...shame I didn’t get to drive many of the old trucks. My dad even had a 60s K100 that burnt up after it caught fire out on the road. I was a sad 4 year old when that happened.😩 My Dad was an agent for North American Van Lines back in the 40-50s.
Some of the best KWs I’ve seen! 🥰 Love those old rigs! Most of those companies are gone now. That was a good North American rig as well...my dad was an agent for them back in the day...Porter’s Transfer in Huntington, WV.
The twin steer PIE rig w/ drom box was special. This had the Cummins diesel laying on its side like Crown Coaches had, called pancake engines. I think some of the half cabs were made w/ 'cavelike' sleepers, jutting out the side of the cab.
I worked as a janitor for Viking freight , there now Fed Ex,and Con Way is now under a new name X.O logistics I think . Both firms truck for our Company the Bierson Corporation.
O.K., the music isn't the draw here,like the Earnhart fan says,"turn it down(or turn up your own music)",and just enjoy the pics! I like the photos....thumbs up!

Great old trucks and flags!
Classic trucks, classic music, classic times.

I think the music and the trucks both represent great art in different forms, that might be the point.
Oh how the trucks have changed! Love those cabovers! 🥰 Those KW half cabs were really unique...I’ve never seen one at any truck shows. Do any exist?
KW is the best on the road love the old cabovers
Music went great with these old pictures. Loved it.
Who put that peterbilt 352 in there, HEY

KW and peterbilt are made by the same corporation Paccar as was Kelvinator
Were the old ones better than the new ones? My assigned '19 T680 is the biggest hunk of junk I've ever driven. Absolutely horrible.
How do you do a pictorial history of Kenworth trucks and not include Monfort of Colorado?
