Steve, I gotta admit, of all the trucking videos, from all the truckers on the road, no one come close to the videos you put out. You explain everything, your funny, your a family man, and you produce other videos as well.
Excellent job, brother. Thanks for sharing your time on the road.
I dont know yes love his channel hence y am here whilst sat in a truck in the uk. But i recommend wee yourkshireman trucking his channel is fun and informative
That's a big 10-4
That bridge was speaking the truth.
Nobody who spray paints overpass bridges on gods green earth would read, let alone 1984
George Orwell 1984 and COVID gotta love that
Steve, at your age and experience level you should know that putting a driver in your truck usually does not end well, I owned a 1989 k100 for 10 years hauling steel in the youngstown area, sold it at 864,000 miles it was a great truck, I'm an old school flat bed driver with 45 years , now retired in the phoenix area, enjoy your channel
Youngstown, Ohio? if so, then this going to be weird... I am from Phoenix, Az. now living in Alabama, planning on moving to Youngstown, Ohio.
Small time thinking. How do companies grow with that attitude? They don't
My grandparents used to run a small company who delivered for Coors. I was 12 or so. I remember they had a K100 with just under a million miles. The rest of the trucks were KW conventional. The coolest truck for me was a W900 aerodyne. 3406B. I’m not a driver, but it does my heart good to see an old truck with the 425 Cat still getting it done.
Back in 1989 was the last time I drove long hall. I had a K100 Aerodyne with a Detroit 12.7. I loved driving that rig and it served me well till I went into the Army. I have not driven since and I still remember my days of driving all over the US. Sure was a sweet rig for the time. Missed it a lot while I was in the Army. So many good memories.
Watching your videos is like watching a movie. I would love to see you film the people's convoy. Your views and subscriptions would be astronomical
The thumbnail says it all. Thanks for your vid’s. I can role play in my cascadia while listening 🤪
Oh and for otr I think most people would like a conventional for the space.
I always give trucks more then enough room to do there thing. I once had a trucker driver follow me into a fuel station way out of town to shake my hand and thank me for respecting his space. I know how heavy these trucks can get and I know it takes a long time to get them stopped. I do not wanna get hit by one so the easy thing to do is RESPECT there space. One thing about the jake brakes. If you run them in the city I live in in Canada you are getting a $1000.00 fine.
379 Pete. I drove a mid 90's for a while and but I no longer driver for that company and now I have a bunch of expensive parts for a 379 sitting in my garage that I bought for the truck waiting to be used... And you gotta love when those cars that cut you off like that.. And DOT always feel the need to "educate" truck drivers
No drama, right to the point. GREAT CHANNEL AND GREAT DRIVER!
Great video, Steve. I was born and raised in Houston, back in the early 1940’s. Lived there until 1975, when I moved to the Fort Worth area. Now, I live in NW Arkansas, and haven’t been back to H-Town since 2004. Lots of memories from Houston, but it sure ain’t what it was when I lived there. Thanks for the great video, and helping me bring back memories of my years there. Look forward to the next video. Drive safe.
Jawtooth. Lol. "But wait, there's more! Of course there always is!"
ONE > more comment,, your camera performance is much better than those Men and Women that use their camera for a living( fantastic work Sir)
Be thankful you have your parents lost my mother last year and miss her dearly she was my #1 supporter RIP
18:24 that dudes landing gear almost got caught!!!
Hey Meathead you got the best videos out there I watch your videos all the time, take good care of oil well, good blessings for you and your family.
Thanks', Pushed a truck (3/4-ton pickup-service body) Air Conditioning Repair Service truck, and sometimes Vans. You handle yourself well, but I'm aware many drivers don't want you or me out there on the road! Lots of patients Brothers!
I'd run a 99 Argosy. Detroit 60 12.7. I'm running a 10 speed deleted 579 at the moment, but I'd run an Argosy over this Pete any day of the week. I'd love to be able to find a carrier with even older trucks like Orwell to drive, but that's literally impossible. Thanks for the content. Safe travels.
My favorite kind of video today, just driving. Thanks Steve.
Hey Steve I see you started your video in Katy, Texas your close to my old homestead. I leaves in Waller TX. Witch is north from Katy. Glad to see you in my old stomping grounds.
I've made several trips to Huston zoo from Jackson Wisconsin. You talk about fun trying to get in and out of a zoo in any state with a 389 long nose pete with big sleeper and a 53 foot flatbed spread axle.
I drove a 78 K100 big cam 400 with a 13spd Eaton for eight years. Honestly, as far as comfort, today’s rigs are so much more superior and easier on the driver. Being retired I guess that’s my two cents. 😂
Steve I cannot get enough of the sound on that truck! It makes me want to get an old-school truck also just to have fun with on the side when I’m not on the road.
Most definitely a cab over steve... like I could drive again.thanks for the thoughts...a fan in Oregon.
Wow what a great vid FSC. You captured it all.. As you know a driver just does not see the world through his wind shield. Those side views, back views, all the views really shows what is going on around Orwell. We got to see and experience it all. Thanks Steve what a great ride it was..
You need a load on that flatbed, and make money. great view from the go pro's and a good sound !!! with the jake brake also...
H-Town born and raised. Haven't been back for 12 years but I miss it. Most culturally diverse city in America. It's all love no matter who you are or where you come from. ✌️
EDIT- if you get a chance. I think the southern Pacific 982 was moved near minute maid field.
My Dad was owner operator for more than half of his life .I owned a couple sleeper trucks . 89 Western star big bunk got from original owner had 625ooo when he sold it to me. Running the Road takes a certain person to make it work. Its a life styal not a Job .My dad ran refers. Never forget what he taught me. He was like you Worker. Give Respect Get Respect. Keep On Trucking Brother you the Real Deal.
Steve take a look at Waco,Texas when deciding on a place to move. The Magnolia Network has me drawn into that location. Chip & Joanna Gains work on DIY home improvement projects in Waco, Tx. Their show is outstanding. ( Fixer Upper Welcome Home)
IF you picked me to be a driver, I'd be happy in any old truck you put me in! Especially if it was a Superdog or an R.
You are so right, so many will not understand the "Covid 1984".
Can't sleep, so glad you uploaded. I live up around Frisco Texas. Glad your enjoying our weather! I'm a Hoosier so I feel your need to get out of Wisconsin! Take care!
I like the old cabovers but I'm retired and now I had rather watch you Driver's I don't have to put up with the fools on the road another good show 👏 KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛 🇺🇲 👍
I would definitely want a cab over. Working corners made easy brother.
Hi Steve,
Love your videos where you went thru Houston, TX. I don't live far away but Houston is my hometown, so it's great to see the skyline and roads..
Seeing that "COVID 1984" that someone has sprayed was awesome. Couldn't agree more !
I only stumbled across your page yesterday and have enjoyed what I've watched so far. I love big trucks.
Love that you named your truck Orwell since it is a 1984 year model.
(I named my 2007 yr. model SUV "007". I just took the 2 off )
Now I've got to get caught up with your videos !
You're an excellent narrator of your trips and everything.
I think something like the old T2000 Kenworths would be good for putting a driver. Reliable and comfortable for drivers. Aerodynamic, too.
One man and a truck, does Steve get a Amen on that.
The most iconic rail bridge in Houston. Welcome. Next time you’re down I would like to see Orwell and yourself Steve. Safe travels
FSC Trucking, Loved here in England.
My first truck I drove in truck driver school was 70 cab over in Walpole, Massachusetts in the 80's
Freightliner Classic XL I Would Drive Anything Honestly
Running an otr cabover would be tits. I run otr freight in my sprinter now. Running 2500 to 6000 miles weekly. No logs, just running wide open for 5-6 weeks at a time. Thanks for the videos!
Good spot on the twisting of straps, they can certainly hum a tune. 🎼🎼🎼.
Great video as always Steve. 👍
Thanks for sharing.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the camera angles and the commentary. Really enjoy all the scenery as your drive safe safe.
Good video, I worked in Houston its big with lots to do. As far as trains go, I found a spot in Houston called the "5th Ward", 3 major railways cross on a massive interlocking; KCS, Union Pacific and BNSF, also Amtraks Sunset Limited passes through with a station 5 minutes down the road and a local brewery as well. Again good work buddy.
Great job Steve and thank you for the insight on what really goes on in trucking.
Any old truck is fine.
I drove for 30+ years. My dad and I restored and worked 3 trucks,
#1) a ‘71 KW conventional, originally had a 280 Cummins/13 speed, which we later pulled out and built a small cam 400.
#2) a ‘72 Conventional with a 350 small cam and 5x4 trannies.
#3) a 62 Pete conventional with a 335 Cummins and 5x4 trannies.
Right now I’m starting on a 74 Pete model 352!
3406B with a 13 speed and it’s a single screw.
My point is as far as what I like, I prefer the older trucks. More character and less electronics.
My dream truck is a mid 70’s Extended hood KW. Big horses with a 5x4, pulling a flatbed.
Most of my experience was flatbeds/drop decks hauling anything that can be tied down.
A lot of oversized, and a lot of pneumatics.
Doing what you’re doing, getting in and out many times to drop trl and gooseneck, I would prefer a conventional. That’s a lot of climbing up! I’m too old for that.
Love the cabover. I got to say though, that truck would look better with some polish on it. Good looking truck though. I'm liking your video's. I am a follower of Gentry and Son's Trucking. That's funny you spoke of Jawtooth. I watch him too.
Just as bad in Buffalo ny for the snow and cold tundra would love being in warmer weather be safe and love the truck
You was right down the street for my job
You were VERY kind to that mixer.
When I drove I drove a 389 Peterbuilt extended hood. It had a 60 series Detroit with a 10 speed and 411 rears non cut.
Always good to see you in Texas 👍🏼👍🏼🐂🤘💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️
a Mack r700 with the mack e9 V8 would be the dream
I would drive an Argosy... flat floor of a conventional we the maneuverability of the cabover. The best of both trucks.
Love the ride along. Be safe out there.
Any second truck will be prepped and maintained by you to the same standard as Orwell, so choose what you are happy to work on. Enough good people have seen what you are about and will have decided whether they would or would not like to work for you. Like Tim, you will get mostly decent folk respond and you'll easily smell out the rotten ones.
Nice trip - thank you.
I am 69 years old today. But if I could drive, I would prefer the cabover. I drove a 84' Ford Cabover CL 9000, pulling a reefer. It was about 6 years old. Not my truck. My first semi, after 5 or 6 years driving straight trucks.
Thanks Steve for the great video
Fld classic. I'm to tall and to big around midsection to be able to get into the sleeper of a cabover.
I like the old International Transtar. That was good looking cab over also.
If I was still driving commercial, I would like to own the GMC general W/sleeper like Cletus snow had in Smokey and the bandit 2!!!
Like the channel love the through windshield views keep them coming be safe and keep on trucking
Mercedes cabover. 1000 hp. Automatic. Self driving get this 12-15 mpg. Best truck ever.😁🇺🇸
One last thing here even if don't hire or get the chance of working for you company some day still keep watching your videos Peace.
Hey MR .STEVE U WAS CLOSE TO HOME 🏡. I AM A BIG FAN OF YOUR CHANNEL 45 AND THE BELTWAY AN IMPERIAL VALLEY GREEN ROAD
Railfans call that a shave and a haircut when engineer blows his horn like that. They love it.
Great video Steve...wish I had known you was here then would have met up with you and bought ya dinner...you also came thru Houston during the easy hours....love the videos keep them coming
When I started out in the driving trucks. The company I worked for was getting rid of all their International cabovers. I was one lucky driver to drive one. Loved to driving them an backing into tight spots that conventional drivers could not do them.
If you are looking for boating, there is the Houston Shipping channel, Clear Lake and Galveston.
I was living in Cleveland OH (not Texas) and working on a project in Houston. One of my fellow Clevelanders brought his 32' Bayliner down and we spent a lot of weekends on the water.
Argosy I bought one this year nice that you can stand up in it and they have most of the newer options cruise air can ride nice to
Houston is my hometown.
Dang i wish i was a Driver so i can work for you Steve, ill go for a conventional long nose W900 i love those Trucks 💖😁
Tying a heavy load right is a skill !!! cheers .
LOVE MY 2010 ISUZU 4X4 CREW CAB TRUCK
JOY YOUR VIDEO AS LIKE TYPE TRUCK THAT IS DRIVING LOVE PETERBILT
FROM AUSTRALIA
Thanks for info on chaining an strapping down my brother hauls cranes an don't talk with him much
Hey Steve! I live in Houston. Thought I may have seen your truck driving through a while back, turns I did. Orwell looks even better in person!
I hauled oversized precast for parking garages out of Brookshire there and we use to come out on that Pederson road next to the Loves there to go into jobsites in Houston, lived in the truck down there for two years working out of there...
That's two of the prettiest trucks ever built the k100 the A modle
You've got followers in Houston. It's cold here sometimes but only a couple of days at a time. Lots of lakes in Texas and from Katy, where you were, to Galveston Bay or the Gulf coast is only an hour away. I move from PA a long time ago any haven't missed the ice and snow once. Houston is a very, very big place with lots of job opportunities.
One like Orwell with a cab and sleeper that is stretched behind the fuel tanks or a w900 long hood and wow that trucker going over the tracks with the train horn blowing is just mental to do on the truckers part
I just had my class B in Maine but I used to help my cousins that have a construction company move equipment with the low bed and I'll be here if you use A3H chain and you break it up running across the equipment you just hook the 3H chain to attract with a binder to let you use one chain broke up
I'm actually smiling at the former Be Someone railroad bridge now being so Orwellian :D Nice to see the Pierce Elevated fixed up. It was in bad condition for a very long time! If you're ever in the Spring area, you should go check out Spring Junction at Old Town Spring. There's a big parking area there where you can park Orwell and get trains on UP's Navasota and Palestine Subs. And if your real nice, I might show up and meet you!
Hardboiled eggs are a great source of mobile protein!
beautiful 362 Orwell!I would drive similar found the right price condition of a respectable unit !!
Steve I always liked the Ford L9000 with the Cummins they were popular here in Australia in the 80,and 90s nothing flash but they made a lot of people good money I worked for a national car carrier in the 90s and we used L9000 with series 60 Detroit's pulling 3 trailers of cars from Adelaide to Darwin .like old cars old trucks just have something special about them ,if I LIVED in the States I'd like to drive for you I love Orwell he sounds great.
Cheers Kym
Adelaide
Enjoy 😉 the warmth for Me. getting a big Bulldoze!!
Hey Steve them new trucks can't hang with oh oil well out there you know they can't do that. Especially them company trucks, the PO po have a problem with that too. Keep the good videos coming.
I am getting into the industry soon, but it's a goal to own an older truck in the next couple years. Experience is experience I suppose, but I'd love to get it in an older, well-kept rig like Orwell or similar. That's an opportunity I'd love to have, but no experience means nobody will trust you to care for the equipment like you own it. Keep up the awesome content, makes me feel like I drive for ya already!
With my heart attack in November 2012 lost use of my right foot. Can't pivot between fuel and brake unless it was automatic.
Arizona department of transportation pulled my license in 2015.
Sure do miss driving
Covid-1984....do many get the reference?
It would be great to have you in Florida I live in Dayton in Michigan at the V.A. for a little while can't wait to get back home my son and I love your videos stay safe Godspeed ps love your train videos also keep them coming.
I like to see and drive one of the late 70s model International Eagles either a cab over or a conventional.
If I wasn't retired I would really consider driving for you, when it comes to trucks(cabovers) I like early 90's believe it or not I actually like the gmc Astro's, fixed right they could be sweet. I'd even relocate if need be. Wouldn't care what I'd drive I just want a decent paycheck. 10/4
If I were still able to drive I'd give my left nut for either a K100 or 352 CO for sure! I love Orwell!!! That is my kind of truck!!! Love "riding" with you!! Keep it safe Bro!!
I would go with older truck 70's or 80's. International Transtar II with double sleeper
Texarkana is a beautiful place and is near water. Big beautiful lake.
and beer
Great Video.
