Enjoyed the CB conversation that you had with the other driver he was an old school guy and those guys are getting few and far between and it's sad because when all on you guys are gone an era of great truckers will be gone forever
Miss this with Cb radio here in Sweden. I have drive trucks sense 1990 so 33 years now and lots have changed tro the years. No truckers ower here have CBs in the trucks now day's. The Cb die out in the end of the 90s when cellphones get cheaper to buy and youse. What i can miss is the camaraderie that was between drivers in the past. Now more and more it feels like there is no professional pride among drivers here anymore. Just go inside a truck stop where you sit by yourself with your phone. we used to sit at a long table and talk to each other. how is it in the usa Ps sorry fore my bad English spelling. Best regards from Snowman in. Sweden
Many of us still use the CB all the time. My whole channel is dedicated to CB live streams from South Carolina along with some how-to videos with CB stuff.
I may not be a trucker but i always run a CB in my personal vehicle an old General Electric 40 channel that actually works better then my previous and newer Cobra 29 WX NW ST.
Im not gonna lie, i do miss be out there on the road. Hearing that old Cat put in work, to the CB chatter on the radio. Good times! Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
@@Dieselmachine4 right now the solar cycle is making it easier and easier to talk "skip" or long distance when mother nature allow you. I gurantee if you set up a decent antenna and turn to channel 6 you'll hear voices. Hope to hear you on the airwaves!
Love the CB talk with one of your fans. That other crap was annoying. Anyhoo, be safe on the roads. Here in Wisconsin, we never know when Winter will end.
My biggest detractor of keeping my radio turned up is hard drive whining all day that he gets no respect. Some of you would say tune him out but he hits my radio no matter where I’m at. Pretty much if your chasing skip or anything other than relaying emergencies or truck to truck chatter there are 39 other channels to do your business.
Awesome looking cabover! My Mom and Dad drove a 392 cat in their 1982 Freightliner. I never became a trucker. But I sure do enjoy the videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
In California 5 years ago they were cutting holes in all the cat blocks and cutting the frames in half. A company in Mexico was buying up the truck and putting the frames back together and patching the blocks up and running the trucks in Mexico.
I was getting flash backs on the CB chatter,have spent miles chatting on CB(not on sesame street channel) helped with the monotony of 500 miles at 55 mph
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary. It's kinda nice having the chat back and forth with your CB radio. While driving in the snow stay safe Steve.
About 30 years ago I use to go on drives with my father in his rig, was always on the CB chatting with other drivers. Didn’t realize drivers don’t talk much anymore
Nice relaxing video FSC. Your videos bring back some memories for me. What I don’t miss is waking up and there is snow everywhere and it’s cold. But that’s part of trucking. I wished I could still do it but reality tells an entirely different story. Anywho FSC times have changed. Even when I was out there chatter on the CB was getting way out of control, the content was for adults only. The CB was starting to loose its appeal it once had. Well FSC have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.
So Steve, I seen you today at about 2:10PM 03/22/2023 when you were heading north out of Cusetta, GA on Hiway 280 heading towards Columbus, GA. I flashed my High Beams at you. I didn't see a load but I did recognize your truck with those stacks.
That's correct. The three cylinder diesel in the APU is tied into the Cat's cooling system so as the APU runs to create heat in the cabin, it pushes the coolant into the engine block, thus warming it up for easier cold starting.
Had no idea the roads were that torn up. I think that may actually be worse than Kawlifornia's "freeways," which are falling behind in repairs. Also, the very wet winter has the base getting mushy, and sinkholes eroding out under the lanes in a lot of places. Thanks for the sights, Steve.
I live in California and drive a truck and will tell you, I go through a bottle of Aleve every month because the roads are so bad you back starts to feel it. I call California the never ending construction zone.
🤠 FSC Orville DRIVER ! AND GREETINGS FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. I enjoy your TH-cam videos and it's nice to see an old school Pete cabover still getting it done. I'm a retired trucker, former flatbed pallet hauler, touring band member, and farmer. I trained to drive CDL but my music career conflicted too much with the schedule. But I did own 4 flatbed straight trucks and pickups for a little while. The pride of my fleet at that time was the 76 Louisville form truck converted to an 18 ft flatbed. Keep the and the Rubberside down.
In the Dead of Winter when I Ran in Nasty Driving Conditions I turned the Music Radio Off the Squelch Dial Volume on the CB Radio turned to the Scratching sound came Up & C B Radio Volume turned Up too
That purring of the Cat, gear through gear, brings me back. I've been retired for some time now, OTR. As much as things began to be a PINTA, I do miss it. I enjoy watching your vids. Nice job driver,
Talk about contrasts in weather conditions - you and Orwell freezing out there, while #TimGentry is nice and warm in Tennessee trying out his new heavy-haul Pete!
Was cool running into you, some time hope can actually meet you, can talk cars or trucks all day. Sorry didnt realize you were trying to eat while was talkin to you
Drove for Sam Tanksley when they had the new Pete's, White with the Blue stripes. Loved those double sleepers & 13 Speeds. Sam died and the partners wife took it over. It was the Harris Corporation that owned a Pete dealership in St. Louis and a Dorsey Trailer dealership in Cape Giraudoux, MO. It was nice to have new Equipment. Thanks for the ride along; sure brings back memories. In the early 90's most companies were converting to long nose. I'm one of the weirdos that like driving in snow and ice. Sad these days, only the old school drivers can throw a set of chains on. I'm glad my first few yeah over the road was for a small company and an O/O. The small company sent us to the northwest with a single screw COE Int'l (small cab) pulling doubles. THAT was fun going from Spokane to Lewiston in the dead of winter. Thank goodness there was no storm. I was so glad when the conv. cabs took over the market. It wasn't long before the sleeper door opened up so you could sit on your bed and get dressed LOL but I would buy a Double sleeper Pete in a heart beat, but I'm aiming for retiring from trucking soon.
It's been a while since I didn't use CB. ... I finally subscribed. Even if the subtitles are automatically translated into Korean, I can't understand everything. Haha. (늘 안전운전 하세요...^^)
Back in the seventies my dad had a cb in his Bronco. He'd use it during our annual trip to Moab and that's how I learned all the cb lingo. I didn't hear either of these guys say breaker or say their handle.
Steve I love watching your videos and the sound of Orwell when you're rolling through the gears it's just so relaxing to me listening to that Caterpillar engine purr
I still run CB in the truck 👋 Rocking a heavily modded cobra 29 classic with an RFX installed + Astatic 636 mic. Only thing I’d really like to change at the moment is the antenna I’m running.
I still have my cb in my Pick up and still use it when I'm going out of town. Aka long trips. I couldn't see doing anything else. Sometimes late at night I will find someone to bs with while I'm just traveling on. We'll Steve be safe and I will see you on the next one.
Most vids about trucking are boring to me. These are like you're sitting in your sleeper and you're co-driver is driving. Like you say, relaxing like you're along for the ride. :)
Man you started your day out just north of where I work and the cab over that has been sitting in the same spot for years. Needed to take that Germantown exit and jump on 175 south. From there you see it then you go to Q turn left back to 41
Those cold weather days I would take it easy for a few miles and let the Trans and axle warm up and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and 😂
We used APU’s on locomotives for a while. Cost must have been an issue. Anyways can’t even talk on the CB around here anymore due to the Mexican & Indian chatter. Still have my cobra super29 boomer 250 and a Wilson 5000. She will talk!
Obviously just driving around Milwaukee! Through the North side of the Zoo Interchange a couple times and then down to the Airport and on the Airport Spur…. Where else did you go?
I find that a good deal of the newer breed of steering wheel holds don't even have a CB. Some that do don't speak English and talk on a channel other that 19. When I used to live in Vermont way back when I used to catch the Canucks from Quebec on 14running power just to talk to one of their buddies less than a mile down the road.. I used to run power back then as well but i used to go up to a tall mountain to talk to people 50+ miles away. So far so good and unless something drastic happens I will be at MATS. Stay safe.
Just remember: Steve'll be at the Green APU booth and Tim Gentry will be at the SH Tube booth. Here's to hoping "Johnny Cash" will be there along with "Orwell"

Rookie here what’s the truckers channel on CB ?
@@Kanon-fq5fh Truckers are always on 19
Absolutely my C B IS ALWAYS ON
Yup mine sits on 27.185 allllll day long, unless Harddrive gets on there and starts blabbering like he does from down in New Mexico
I may not be a trucker but i always run a CB in my personal vehicle an old General Electric 40 channel that actually works better then my previous and newer Cobra 29 WX NW ST.
I do enjoy coming across an older school driver and holding a good conversation running down the highway. Doesn’t happen too often unfortunately.
Today as I was heading N. on I95 in Ga. oh who did I see heading S......the mighty Orwell.Awesome to see for sure.
God bless you truckers. You keep the country running. I could not handle the stress of driving a big rig.
You need a deck broom. Nice to have a friendly chat on the road. 💡
Nice start with that green APU keeping the Cat warm
That’s the way it should still be! Always loved talkin on CB 10-4
Im not gonna lie, i do miss be out there on the road. Hearing that old Cat put in work, to the CB chatter on the radio. Good times! Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Get ya a CB for your house, people use CB to talk all over the country every day. There are more and more of us that are coming back to the hobby
@@DutchmanRadio i have definitely thought about it. Was always cool to hear the base stations out talking to us and god knows who else.
@@Dieselmachine4 right now the solar cycle is making it easier and easier to talk "skip" or long distance when mother nature allow you. I gurantee if you set up a decent antenna and turn to channel 6 you'll hear voices.

Good to see cb communication clean nice talking between two drivers just like before which you don't see much nowadays always bad mouth talk 👍
Love the CB talk with one of your fans. That other crap was annoying. Anyhoo, be safe on the roads. Here in Wisconsin, we never know when Winter will end.

The Green APU may be the best thing since sliced bread...?

As far as I'm concerned it should be Gold APU. I love it!
That's good to hear a good clean CB conversation!
Had an 88 Pet, 3406B loved that truck.
There’s just no other sound like Orwell…..it’s beautiful🥹
Man, Orwell started up clean barely a detectable trace of smoke.
love that apu
Please no. Not the BOMB CYCLONE again!!!!
Orwell didn't sound cranky at start up. Great video and nice content.
The green APU has make life so easy for you both at cold starting eh , and keeping you warm
I remember seeing you starting or trying to start Orwell in the winter before the Green APU....what a good investment that was .
