You are right it is a beautiful ride ..... especially through the windshield of that beautiful Peterbilt Orwell. The route you chose through Pennsylvania makes Trucking look like the greatest profession ever!
Hello there Steve from the Uk, as a retired Fuel Tanker driver, I enjoy your trips around the US, great roads for covering long distances, I notice that, when you overtake any slower trucks, none of these slower trucks give a headlight flash to say your clear to pull back in lane, as in the Uk all trucks give the ok flash, which is always acknowledged by a flash of rear lights by the over taking truck, keep up the good work get some new strobes on Orwell’s roof if you update, Stay safe mate
We do give a flash, us old school guys that is. The newer drivers here only care about themselves and don't pay much attention to anything around them.
The reason drivers don't flash there lights anymore is because drivers come on the CBS and cuss and raise hell for blinding them. I drove for 10 years and I stopped doing it early on in my ten years
Great video Steve, I live about 20 miles further up 220 from where you made the turn onto 87 north there in Dushore(Towanda, PA). The guy that has those wreckers rusting, he also owns a Pete 359 wrecker, with 8 lug pattern wheels on the steer axle, a front lift axle on the back, & as far as I know, still does work.
Damn Steve, you in da cut. Way out in dem sticks. That's what vehicles do best here in PA... rust away. 😭 From the moment you buy it. Around my way, we have roads just like that all over, what we call the back roads. Full of up and downs, round this bend and that one, with a few rollercoaster hills too!
That would be a good area to ride a bike thru. But so are large parts of Wisconsin, drop dead gorgeous. Wish you and Jen had the time to go on a road trip and take us along.
Been watching more and more trucking youtube videos lately. You, This Guy Trucks, and then JoeyWhispers livestreams. Makes me almost want to do it. But then I remember that you have an expensive license to get and if you want to have autonomy you have to own your own truck and your own authority. My grandpas side has someone who does it. Has 4 or 5 different trailers in his lot. Don’t know what make or model he drives though because he usually doesn’t stop in with the rig when he comes to visit.
@@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures It's been so long since I've seen an F model Mack or any Brockway truck that I can't remember. I seem to think that they were one in the same.
@TacticsTechniquesandProcedures I've been trucking since 1987, and I've seen more old Autocar and Diamond Rio tractors than Brockways. I'm talking 1950s and 60s Autocars and Diamond Rios.
@@allan9603I didn't know they were two separate companies. There used to be a towing company in my hometown that had two large wreckers for trucks. One was a big long hood Autocar and the other was a a Diamond. The Autocar was from the late 60s and I think the Diamond was made in sometime around 1957 or '58. The company went out of business in the late 80s and they sold both trucks to someone who wanted to restore them. If I remember correctly, both of them had more than one gear shift. I used to hang around their garage when I was a kid, and climbed up in them before, but that's way before I started driving trucks and I didn't know much about them then.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Definitely some beautiful scenery and hills out in the area your headed to. Thanks for sharing stay safe Steve.
That's a good camera view right behind your shoulder Steve , Orwell looks and sounds great , that big rig tearing through the back country is powerful.
Steve, I was hoping you were going to hit Route 6 & 11 and get a shot of the Nicholson Viaduct as you swung onto Route 6. You fooled me by taking 220. Tom
No shit something I never thought I would see on a youtube thumbnail is a picture of my town. This is awesome that town has the only red light in the whole county 😂😂
@@fsctrucking yeah i was out back with my dog im like wtf that’s steve lol i have a 5th wheel rv and a white race car semi trailer in the driveway and a new silver shop next door i just built 😎👍
I knew as soon as I saw that Dandy Mini. you were in Mehoopany. You should have seen the truck line at Proctor and Gable during the toilet paper shortage.
Except it doesn't get nearly as cold as Norway in the winter, lol. Cold enough, but not that cold. I've never been to Norway, but I have been to Denmark, by way of Germany, when I was stationed there in the early 80s. It was cold enough for me!
Mehoopany PA; Procter and Gamble has a very large paper products plant there. That roller is probably for a paper making machine, or the Bounty or Charmin lines.
That proctor gamble place will make you wait for hours 2-3 atleast. I hated going up there. Im now on a bread route going from wash dc to mebane nc 3 times a week. Orwell does damn good on them hills for the weight you got. happy truckin
Glad to see you in PA again! You're in God's country up there, man! I'm near Pittsburgh, so I see more "civilization" than up there lol. I grew up watching Brockways die in the coal hauling hauling business....it was bad enough that I grew up in the jump seat of R model Macks, hehe. I'm glad I drove Kenworths and Petes, but dad said they they weren't meant for hauling coal....not durable enough.....he died before I started driving so I never got to debate with him on that score.
Hey Steve, what's up? Just wanted to mention that I think your DD 12V71 in that Brockway you discovered would be a very good marriage. More or less, they are of the same era. Have you decided or said what you intend to put that in?
A customer paid us $$$$$$ to go up there and haul a really really old ???? I can't remember what it was it's been year's. And deliver it to a location where that company rebuilds truck's and dam they did a fantastic job. Customer was happy.
Hello Steve, in the last couple of episode's you havn't been yourself, there's no merch talk or no shop talk. Whats up, is everything okay in both of those ?
i think i remember that exact house in the thumbnail. At least they arent a huge shitty housing development with an HOA and management company but. even back in the horse and buggy days Pennsylvania dumbasses was like "yea lets build the house 2 ft from the road" 😂
Hey Steve how are you doing today my friend on this beautiful day and I like the content in the videos sweetheart and they are very good videos and keep up the good work my I love the content in the videos
I wondered 🤔 if the one beside and to the rear of the Ford was another Brockway or could it have been one of the last Diamond REO's before they disappeared.
@@thomasdragosr.841 I see. Thanks for letting me know. Did it also say Brockway across the grill as well ? I can barely see what I first thought was a grill guard but looks too small.

My pop drove a 1974 Brockway cabover, with a screaming 318 Detroit.
RIP in that big truck stop in Heaven pop.
Did those cabovers have the same body style as a Mack F700?

The angle on the trailer like this is TOP NOTCH. Nice Job Steve

Awesome to see you drive thru my area. Sullivan County is a beautiful ride anytime of the year, but special in the early fall.
Nice video Mr Steve Cool ride and pretty scenery thru the valleys and mountains different towns
I love your channel, Steve. You do a great job. I look forward to seeing your video's as soon as they come out. keep the video's coming.
Great video Steve of some beautiful countryside. Stay safe.

Great video, love running through the woods, thanks and keep them coming. Stay safe out there.
That was a really nice ride. Watching and listening to Orwell talk about it was definitely ASMR. Thanks
Nice Steve , nice driving , great attitude ,calm relaxed ,makes for great viewing believe it or not.
That downhill part at 20:58 with the right side curve had me screaming in my mind "hit the jake, hit the jake, hit the jake-" lol
No shit something I never thought I would see on a youtube thumbnail is a picture of my town. This is awesome that town has the only red light in the whole county 😂😂
I know you like railroad history Steve. There used to be a train bridge that went across over top of that old hotel that’s in the thumbnail
That's partly why I like trucking channels. Get to see places I never have.
What is your point ?
Go to that yard and put a name to all the trucks. Next time you’re there. 😊
@@treetrimmerify and what’s your point???
I miss driving a Pete cabover in diesel school it had a super 10 in it man I miss that truck.Keep safe Steve
Dbl clutch Ron, Thanks for taking me along for the ride--very enjoyable keep safe !
Awesome scenery this video had pretty areas on it.
A very scenic drive..nice one sir.
Nice truck Steve, when it comes time I would just paint and dress up Orwell, I wouldn’t replace it. It’s a beauty.
Hay Steve keep up your chances as I in joy still watch when I can your biggest fan Thomas from Ohio keep up your awesome work
If we need to hop a ride,,while Uncle Fez tell us stories and go flying it tight streets,,heck yes
Hey Steve! Interesting Stuff As Always, It's Amazing What You Can See. If Only It Could Talk, The Stories It'd Tell!
Hammer down. Eastbound, and trucking!
That is some beautiful country beautiful country
That was one of the nicest rides ive seen you on such a nice road/Route
That's some drag up that hill Steve.
Better late than never ..... like it when you drop older ones keeps us on our toes. Shit just happens sometimes.
dude you strolled right past my house here on 301 in florida just south of the starke bypass. you coulda picked up the match front wheels
@RDC_Autosports you must have saw me roll through.

Nice video. that cab over sings beautiful, I love these tyoe of videos.
Just imagine how beautiful that ride will be when the leaves start changing colors
I knew as soon as I saw that Dandy Mini. you were in Mehoopany. You should have seen the truck line at Proctor and Gable during the toilet paper shortage.
The backwoods of Pennsylvania looks like some roads and landscaps in Norway, where I live.
Except it doesn't get nearly as cold as Norway in the winter, lol. Cold enough, but not that cold.

Nice ride in he summer not so nice in the winter
Brockway sitting across the street from Battin's Body Shop on corner of PA route 220 and 87 (12000 PA-87 in Dushore, PA 18614)
That proctor gamble place will make you wait for hours 2-3 atleast. I hated going up there. Im now on a bread route going from wash dc to mebane nc 3 times a week. Orwell does damn good on them hills for the weight you got. happy truckin
The one close to me south of Dallas is horrible too
Beautiful scenery
Actually 2 Brockway's. Beautiful country and actually only 5 hours from my location. I'll have to take a ride out there.
Cortland NY they had a shop there. They are strong in Cortland NY.
Welcome to Ct Steve. Sorry for the idiots we have here brother. Be safe and hope you catch a load back.
I love watching your TH-cam channel as well as Tim Gentry's TH-cam channel. They both laugh my ass off sometimes.
In Orwell them backroads are beautiful no hood just views
Visibility is much better in Cabover's than in Hood trucks.
I have a question have you ever did a load to Thomson Georgia? because I'm curies.

Hey Steve it sucks when you don't have the closed captioning on. It's really hard to hear you sometimes with Orwell purring so loud.
Nice old truck these truck are to use
That was two old brockways, one a wrecker and the other looked to be a tractor. And the third truck was a Ford Louisville with a wrecker body.
Brockway truckes were fast, same cab design as a mack back in the day
Good job boy
Looks like the western Connecticut hills to me.
Man that trailers looking pretty Rough.
Orwell humming like a bee.
always great vid
It's a wonder there's no climbing lane on that long stretch.
🍭SWEET🍭Thanks Steve! Beautiful ride!🙏🏼💖👍🏻🇺🇸🌞
Спасибо за видео! как у нас говорят когда едут (ни жезла ни гвоздя)
Merhaba çok güzel bir video olmuş ❤
4th of July trip? Better late than never I guess.
What did the guy say over the CB at 10:40??
A New Clear Submarine? So, you can see all the way through it? Wont that confuse the fishies? Whales Watched Me In The Shower! How Embawising! Oh My!
I wonder how many miles Orwells engine has now done?
Pennsylvania is beautiful.
Good evning steve

The wrecker in the middle looked like an ol Ford
Yep--old L model
Brockway- they were made in Cortland, NY. Before being bought out by Mack.
Sittin here on my reset, getting ready for another great vid.
Excellent video the views are great
What is that lever sticking out of the dash with your sunglasses hanging on? I've never seen you use that control.
He has no reason to use that lever as that would activate his trailer brakes without use foot brake
That is the OH, SHIT! lever, you use it when the trailer gets squirrely to get it back under control.
As the previous comment said that is for the trailer brakes only and if you have to use that one something has generally gone very bad
It is common for those who drive trailer swaps with their own truck to use it to save on brakes.
You can blame California for the rubble strips. Along with the anti smog items on our cars and trucks
McCullough Mountain
AUTOCAR in the WEEDS + BROCKWAY - You just can't safe them all
Hello Steve, in the last couple of episode's you havn't been yourself, there's no merch talk or no shop talk. Whats up, is everything okay in both of those ?
I know there is nothing like driving a Pete but did you enjoy owning a classic xl?
Hi FSC
Gave rit 👍
Screwed up how? You were 1700 feet away!!
Route 87 in Pennsylvania looks like most of the f****** roads in Ohio you're lucky if you got a 6-inch shoulder there
Crap happens just gotta reboot.
Empty straight truck passing, easy prey. Probably has to rest after passing you!
i think i remember that exact house in the thumbnail. At least they arent a huge shitty housing development with an HOA and management company but. even back in the horse and buggy days Pennsylvania dumbasses was like "yea lets build the house 2 ft from the road" 😂
Has a DOT or cop ever asked if your bed was made ? Does that law/regulation still exist?
Almost 40 years in the trucking industry. That law is a myth! Never existed
From what I gather it’s an expression meaning they’re being ridiculously thorough 😂
Hey Steve how are you doing today my friend on this beautiful day and I like the content in the videos sweetheart and they are very good videos and keep up the good work my I love the content in the videos

Brockway, ford, Brockway
Where are you from
I thought you were going somewhere to drop something. Guess not. Just a ride down the road. Exciting as watching paint dry on a wall.
