    One thing Bruce (my dad) didn't mention about why he had such a long and successful career is because he always had the most immaculate rig in the fleet. Did a lot of his own maintenance and kept his truck spotless, detailed, and running great at all times. In case you couldn't tell, trucking was more than just a job for him! Thanks for this video!

    Great gentleman, great truck! The company my uncle worked for bought a double-bunk K100 back in the day. 425 Cat, 4:11 rears. It was everyone’s favorite because it would do 75 mph 24/7. The rest of the fleet was single-bunk COE “White” Freightliners with 350 Cummins.

    Jarrels. Yeah, we handled everything. Pallets stayed in the warehouses and customers. I was having this discussion with some people the other day. Even local peddling. "" High and tight"". Stacked in the trailer. But, most of the trucks could, would run. Some, better than others. Good interview with a driver who doesn’t recognize his legendary talent and experience that he is too humble to talk about. Caboose was at the back of the line, but always in sight. God bless and safe travels.

    You should put that its a Powerliner in the title so people looking for powerliner videos can find it as there arent many on the internet.

    I believe in the ‘70s any Freightliner COE with more than 350 hp got the Powerliner treatment.
