Orange for safety, blue for contrast! Roadway. Worked there for 18 yrs. On the road and in your way! Lol
Great photos of trucking history, particularly with the drivers. Thanks Phantom!
I agree Bruce!
I think the tractor at 2.08 what ever it is still looks ten times nicer than the fugly looking Mercedes actros that is available today. Loving the channel and your effort you put in to it.
Nice
I love the Safeway truck @3:03. My dad drove for Safeway from the late '50s to 1995. I drove for Safeway from "80 to "85. So. Cal.
Love those lod trucks. So much character in the designs.
Great show of the great days. Good job mr. Phantom.
Dang I'm glad that I come across this channel. Makes me wanna get my old truck drivin Albums out and give em a listen
O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 Another fine job of giving us nice pics & then colorized pics as well. Interesting how some of the trucks progressed over the years. They sure made some fantastic looking rigs back in the day!🥰 Some of the trucks were great from the get go & others eventually got great looking! Well, that’s from this Hillbilly’s perspective. 🧐 I like what I like & I love what I love! To all of the trucks were equal.😳 Some of the roads were quite TOUGH! Let’s hear it for our paved roads nowadays! 😎 Thanks for sharing.🥰😎✌️
Awesome video! Thanks for great trucking content.
Love the picture of the Olsen Freight lines tractor trailer as they were pretty big in Wisconsin when I was a kid. To this day you can still find some in storage or junk yards in the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin. Also probably noting the towns or areas they served just like Green Bay Chicago lines with clean polished equipment and probably one of the last where the drivers wore uniforms. During recess the teachers could never figure out why I kept staring at the freeway. Sure beat dodgeball
I was 8 year's old in the late 70s all I wanted to be was a truck driver how tough the trucks and how macho the drivers. Had I been 8 in the 2016 I don't think I would had any interest in trucks or drivers whith flip-flops..
We wore jeans and cowboy boots bought in Texas they had the biggest selection and best prices, I liked Cowtown boots best!
Me and this old truck , we are going to make it, cuz it's a long lonesome life of a trucker,
@ 3:00 it's good to see Delta Lines!
At about a minute in, there's a picture of a Pozas Bros. truck loading. PB still exists. And they take real pride in their rigs, as well.
Nice to see PBT! I was told they were Security Truck Lines
*also. They also operated RAM Trucking. They had some sharp Peterbilt cabovers!
@@eki63595 RAM is still going. They're in Soledad, Ca.
That right there at 0:30 I believe is a 1942 Ford COE Twin Engine very very rare
Interstate Distributor Truck at 2:17 should have been colorized the same as the truck at :57 in this episode and the LTI truck in your other posting would be all green with a white stripe Interstates old yard was on Durango behind the B & I store in Tacoma Washington In 1 of your other episodes you have a truck in front of a Heidelberg sign on the warehouse that picture was taken on the hillside in Tacoma I loaded out of that very dock the brewery name was Carling That brewery was later bought out by G.Heilman brewing and closed down and the beer was then brewed by Rainer Brewing in Seattle (another G Heilman company)
Enjoyed..... 👍👍
How come I never see any Yellow Freight Trucks?🤔 I currently drive for the remnant of Roadway and Yellow. We recently changed the name from YRC back to Yellow cuz of name recognition. Most people didn't realize YRC stood for Yellow/Roadway Corp
Nice Rigs
I am seventy five and I wish I could remember the name of the rolling ramp front end coe in the tractor only photo . It has a moving company name on the door, anybody know what manufacturing company built it?
Moreland Motor Truck is what i get when i searched that photo 🙃
Back when “Coffin” Sleepers were attacked just about the Factory Standard available from the Manufacturer.
Drivers were skinner we unloaded all our loads! The good ol days!
Coffin sleepers were ABOUT... Damn IPHONE; I want my Android back.
It all makes sense now Henry.
Thank you.
PANAMA CITY 😀😀😀

Interstate truck and trailer was not blue and in 1 of your other postings the LTI truck was not red
Thanks, Gary, what were the correct colors?
