- Truck Living at it's Best!
What a fantastic truck set up! We are talking to Stan today. He has a full kitchen and gigantic sleeper area in his conversion sleeper truck and has a phenomenal set up! His hard work has paid off. He lives full time in his truck with all the comforts of home! I hope Stan has showed you some great options for living in a truck full time!

Thanks for watching!
He's so proud of his truck. He worked long and hard earning what he wanted. I'm so happy for him.
Yup OTR for life 👍🏻😎. Be your own boss 😎👍🏻
He touches 9 mile a gallon.
And now that truck is ruined sadly.
@@MrZarewna how do you mean?
@@ldsmanglobal1617 Because he crashed with it.
Truckers are undervalued in our country. Think about how much this man helps our country vs a professional sports player. Thank you to our amazing truckers! We appreciate you!
We don't NEED sports people. We NEED truckers. He should be getting their pay & perks. Hence why i condemn professional sports players.
🌹Yes, we appreciate you so much, and you consideration while driving. I always give you a blessing when you pass me! God bless and thank you.🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️
Awwww thank you for recognizing us truckers
I spent 44 years working in the trucking industry and I wish this guy was one of my drivers. He is a complete professional and they don't come along everyday. Stay safe!
Guy seems like a real down to earth dude. We need more like him in this world
The most important he sounds really happy
@CR BZ omg shut up
@CR BZ where you from?
meanwhile european lorries are around 11 mpg ( imperial gallon ) so more like 15 US gallons , usa " trucks " are garbage
@Fmono • 38 years ago • Updated we dont need a bed ,and we save much more money on fuel economy
@Greatest Evar and we laughing we earn more than u ucuz our lorries do a way better km per litre
The amount of positive energy that this fellow emits is just unbelievable. I bet he's a great character in real life.
Tìz tru
he is called Stan and is brilliant, his YT channel is Sasnak. check it out
When your happy with your job , you never work .
Video feels kinda awkward to me
Stan/Sasnak, Super cool guy, I met him in quartzite this last winter. Spent a few night around the campfire hearing the story’s. Good times!
Games, Tv, Kitchen, bed, AND a toilet?? in a truck?
This guy is set for life xD
People like him are game changers . Great man . He is humble lively and hard working. America is built by such great people . Salute to him.
You’re right,it is built by people like.
Then it’s torn apart and perverted by wealthy bankers and corporate elite scumbags that tear the fabric of the average American lives.
Revolt
people like him are the backbone of america, without him we couldn't function.
truth is america was built by murderers who wiped out the indigenous population
@@Clamjammer You are right, the evil predators who suck the money from Americans (and the rest of the world - I'm British) need removing and putting to work in salt mines. I care about their welfare as much as they care about mine, and they would be delighted to see me being worked to death fo my earnings. It MUST stop, and the two party system that so many countries are saddled with is perpetuating it. Do you think the present incumbent is on your side? No, no, no. He is on his side, and lives a lot better life than you ever will. He is laughing at you, like they all are, because their bosses are the evil bank execs, not the people.
People don't give enough credit to truck drivers. They are what makes America keep going. Thank you for your service. The same goes for Veterans.
Everything is delivered by truck, except babies.
@ Kathy Newnan ... You hit the nail on the head, they sure don't get enough credit, and that's why there's a shortage of truckers now. With the rules and regulations now it just isn't worth it to a lot of people.
many so called liv off grid .. How about live where nothing U buy has not come off a truck..?
Kathy Newman totally agree with you truck keep our country "Australia" & basically the whole world going cause without trucks to haul products from factories to stores even to the docks containers have to be transported to the docks to be loaded onto ships! people just don't think about where things come from & process from making til delivery. Also a lot of road uses don't give them room they need let alone respect they deserve.
3 days with no deliveries and you learn who your friends will be.
Preppers are a tad more cautious
he looks like a cool dude to have a beer with , i bet he has tons of cool stories.
Hector R lol
most truck drivers do.
I love lisnting to turck drivers storys
I bet he does. He seems pretty cool. Im a multi millionare. And i got 30 rooms in my mansion. 10 bathrooms. It costed 5.8 million was pretty cheap tho. I got a double big rig. I payed 700,000 and it has 2 bed rooms shower bathrooms. A full kitchen. It has slides to expand the big rig. When my slide is fully out i got a grill i just make me hamburgers and steak everyday
@@narutosasuke4269 While others are homeless on the street starving
I been on the road as a trucker for 4 years i ran into this guy he is a way cool dude
you hit Stan with your truck? lol
Small world!
@@zanderboy hahahahaha the insurance on that tho...
Would love to meet him
He seems like an honest and hard-working humble person, happy and content with his profession. Very wholesome indeed.
If anyone cares, his YT channel is called Sasnak, he does trucking vlogs.
Mee töihi
This should be pinned
I thought I recognized him. Watched his other video where he talks about how to shift an 18 speed gearbox.
Read the about part on his page
@@BTArnold100 OMG really? Haha I recognized his voice but didnt remember where I heard it.
This guy’s RV actually earns him a living. Beautiful.
This video inspired me to do the same. Now I’ve been on the road living in my truck full time for 7 months. It’s a great life for a nomad
I can understand why he loves his truck! It's perfect. U don't need more..
Companion?
What I love about this is how passionate he is and excited and proud he is of his equipment. Bravo old boy. Ride her with pride.
Travis Beam hell yeah is. And every right to be 😂
every inch of chrome on that baby was gleaming! nice to see someone proud of their things
Travis Beam oh he def will ride her 😉
Travis Beam yes he is very passionate about what he does! Lives life to the fullest! He would be one to call a friend!
A guy who worked hard and did exactly what he wanted to. Didn’t live off the government and doesn’t hate his career. The American dream. Do what you love. Probably a great guy.
Yep. He worked for what he has. Unlike many people who think they're entitled
This is what i want to do when im older be a lorry driver and live in it basically and maybe start my own lorry company
@@colelockridge5816 what a good joke! :D I salute your amazing joke
There's nothing wrong with living off the government. That's what the government is there for. The government is here for US, not the other way around.
lol As a citizen you can't live off the government. they aren't just out here giving free money to citizens. you have to qualify. and you can't qualify unless you contribute, or contributed to society...
You are such a gentleman!! You sound more like a fine teacher than a truck driver!!!! God bless you and I take my hat off to you and respect all truck drivers!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Just a good hardworking man delivering our goods to us on timely manner. Thank you and all truckers for driving goods we all use. Stay safe!!
All the thumbs down are from jealous truckers who can't afford that
zeref dragneel I totally agree with ya, I obviously had to thumb down two idiots who were trying to eff up my kindness for the man in this video; there always exists those fucked up kinda people who are looking for a good drama-fight, I’m so sick of troll attacks😓🤥🤒😾🚫
That's how jealousy works with guys.I get the same reaction when I stand at the urinal. Have to stand way back 'cause that water is COLD. And I don't want to smell like that little deodorizer puck.
@@paulwilliams8555 lol nice
All the lot lizards that get rejected by the Truck Mansion.
Tf kinda sharingan is your profile pic?
me: “this guy seems like a really nice guy.”
me: *looks at comments*
everybody: “this seems like a really nice guy.”
great minds think alike
Same lol
Ditto
Hahahaha same exact!
But he seems like a nice guy
I love his work ethic and dedication to his truck I hope his still going strong
That's the trucker dream right there. I've drove company and had my own. I would love to have a companion that would do this as a team but I ended up in the oil patch truckin'. Having a truck with all the lights to show or a super truck like this is what most of us truckers want in our career.
Great video!
Don't know how I ended up here but this is pretty cool
same e40😭
Same tho
Me too. Then I get stuck watching the whole thing.
If you want to continue looking search stealth vans
Me neither but I damn well like it.
Its not difficult to see that Stan is proud of his truck and that he's a hard working man to have attained this incredible sleeper big rig! Thx for the vid!!!
We have a few guys my company has been using for decades that run material for us between plants. They have the conversion rigs. Basically they are in the same boat as him. They are private, and if they want to not go home and take a trip somewhere after delivery they can. The video really doesn't do these things justice either. The interiors are HUGE.
Never judge a book by its cover......what a great dude!
Thank you for all your kind words towards truckers. We appreciate it! People don’t treat us right on the road.
This fellow gave a first-class interview on the pros and cons of running with an extended bunk and living space. I don't think he skipped a beat, well done Stan.
@Hello Jake how how are you doing
I have always wanted to see the inside of one of these
Thanks for sharing!!
Follow us and Live I was just about to write the same exact thing!
Follow us and Live me too! How cool is it and shiney!
Follow us and Live same here
Follow us and Live 7 Gillis Way Antigonish ns
Follow us and Live
Really? All you had to do is search it. There are many of these videos showing these kind of sleeper trucks.
I respect Stan a ton, good ol hard working American!
The bathroom sold it for me 😂😂 thats the best thing ever !!!
He seems like a nice guy. I am really happy for him and i wish him all the best.
schemaia- Need more people like you in the world, genuinely happy for others. And the lie-detector test determined, you _are not_ a hater!!!
His channel is called “Sasnak”.
Triggered omg is that really him ? I only have seen one vid for Sasnak but will definitely check them all. Thanks !
schemaia you seem Nice too
I have never seen the inside of one of these trucks and I've trucked for 20+ years.
Great info. This guy would be a great driver trainer. He explains well and is very knowledgeable.
Rodney Simpson true story he seems like a good guy and god.lnows we deal with some butthead out here..
I couldn't agree more Rodney.
Rodney, if you get the opportunity, you should try to go to the Mid America Trucking Show, which is held in Louisville, KY every year. It's a huge trade show, which gives you the opportunity to check out all kinds of trucks, equipment, and up and coming technology in the industry...not to mention all of the show trucks. Highly Recommended.
mtnvortex, yeah I heard of it on 700WLW and XM148. It's definitely on the bucket list.
It's a great time. My brother and I used to go every year(I'm from PA). I haven't been there in a few years though.
is it weird that everyone has aspiraitons of getting that fancy house and property etc etc..and all i desire is to be like this guy and live like he does??? so many ppl wwould say its a lonely life but goddamn i like his complete liberty from all the trappings that hold us to these places. Just get in my truck, do my work and go.
Since the 50s, they've taught as kids that they're supposed to want a huge house and a fancy car.
.
Sadly, that led to speculative real estate investing and the housing market becoming a quagmire of over-priced garbage houses and people being in debt for all their working years just to pay that mortgage off.
.
Now, a lot of younger generation get that there are better ways. Maybe if enough of them go the route of RV conversions for vans and whatnot, the housing market won't be such a mess.
Weird, sure. But there's nothing wrong with that
That truck cost as much as a house.
He is delightful and proud of what he worked for
"this is my pride and joy" *points to toilet* that is a true american man folks
He's proud of having a shower on board.
That's straight luxury for a truck driver. Im sure all the thumbs down are truckers without a toilet and shower.
This video might start the next big trend in nomadic living. That tractor is way too cool.
I haven't gotten 9mpg out of my Class C yet. I'm pulling a small trailer which doesn't help.
Ripp Snortin' That's funny. You may be right.
Solo Roamin' Video but at a 150000 price tag I can't see this taking off
rookout75 Shelton Good point.👍
rookout75 Shelton not for the average Joe, but this mans truck also earns him money...
He’s a very good communicator. Very knowledgeable.
He should be proud. His truck is beautiful!
Well spoken, very amicable with a lot of common sense. This truck driver gives a good rep to his industry.
Stan was nice enough to let me tour his rig at the 2017 RTR. Great guy and stunning piece of equipment.
tiki lebby, Agree, he is a great guy and completely happy with his life. Plus he likes *Pace* salsas, I saw that. ;-)
Wow, I didn’t know any trucks can have all this. He’s got complete comfort while working.
I'm really happy for Stan. Beautiful moment here for sure with his encouragement too. I got my CDL for the first time a few days ago and I start out with my OTR trainer in a couple of days from now. I've always wanted to see the country and drive doing it. I'm sure there will be some challenges ahead but I'm definitely willing to overcome them all and hopefully be successful or just as successful as Stan. Thanks for sharing this moment with us all!
-Peace from Atlanta, GA. My name is Xavier. :)
Xavier. Happy trails to you.
Dude is sunburned on the driver side. Respect!
Yeah, needs a good shade, sticky window tint!
Part of the business lol
Sounds like a total flamer. Never tasted the nectar of a lot lizard. Oh man
My grandpa ended up with skin cancer on his left ear from the sun hitting him in the truck for 50 years straight.
I swear to God I just saw 360 games, this man's a legend.
First thing I noticed lol but he might also have kids he takes on the road I know plenty of truckers who have done that. He could drive and his kid can play video games if he wants.
@@carryeveryday910 my dad did that with me.
Halo games! mark @13:26
I went with my dad to New Mexico for work
11:18 look is a xbox 360 on top
This is pure genius I've always wondered if you could turn one of the larger semi boxes into a live aboard and this man just proved it possible. He took everry inch of space and made it into something awesome
We need a million more guys like him! True blue die hard AMERICAN TRUCKER !! Very proud and hard working
Wow he's got so much room!!
"Toasty as a bug back here" 😂😂😂😂
Button I believe he's said toasty as a button..
my dad's been a truck driver my whole 33 years of life and still going- he lost his truck after needing too many repairs during the pandemic. he was so proud to finally have his own truck. I wish I could get him something like this.
My brother was a trucker. He would have loved this!
I don't claim to know anything about trucks... but damn, that's one cool truck. I've had apartments that are less comfortable and less well equipped! Impressive.
Go man go
what a character, what a truck. good video
Dalton Bedore completely agree! I am amazed.
if you guys want to be like him then check out this book! it will help you get there thetruckerbook.com
Dalton Bedore he’s serious bout his work 💯💯💯
His channel is called “Sasnak”.
@@triggered8556
Beat me to it. I watch Stan on a regular basis. He's one of the goodens when it comes to trucking vlogs.
i love this video. god bless our truckers!
Love your series on dying malls
Dang, it’s Dan Bell. I love your channel
I smiled when I read the comment. Ty.
Love your videos Dan! Tell Rick hi 😜 lol
Amen. If you look around, EVERY THING YOU SEE has been delivered by truck in at least some part of its journey to you.
Positivity Breeds Success!
Notice how he said" he worked himself UP to this position to enjoy this luxury. Key word folks"WORKED".
Youre right, all the other people got their vans for free
dude bernie sanders can get us all a van and free birth controll and health insurance
Robert Williams the problem with socialism is you'll eventually run out of the other persons money.
Donald Parlett jr but i admired his life style just "Simple Things".
lol bullshit, almost every first world countries spends more than they receive in taxmoney. So by your logic the US ran out of "other persons money" couple hundred years ago (withouth being a socialist country)
@ 12:40 I like how he's got the old Halo games on the shelf on the left.
fucking respect to this guy lol, i already respected him for how he lives and halo games was the topping i needed.
Mr44nico44 oh shit! Never in a million years would I think this guy played video games, it make sense tho. Shit I get home and play video games so I don't get bored at night lol I can only imagine being in the middle of nowhere by yourself for months at a time
Well I keep an Xbox One in my rig. I'm more of a Call of Duty, World of Tanks, and Ghost Recon guy myself. But to each his own. I have my own internet hot spots, and can play just about anywhere.
Mr44nico44 4
He know wassup lol
What a genuine nice guy, a true American working man.
Bless our Truckers! Without them we would not be able to live our comfort lives. Beginning with food, ending with Luxury Goods 🥰😉 I just love this buildout. Stan! You the Man 🥰😉😉 . Icecream? Very important stuff *lol* Basis FOOD *lol* Great video, enjoyed it a lot.
“This is a drawer. You can put whatever you want in there.”
No, me wife forbids me puttng dirty socks in them,.
@NORTHERN LOCO MAYATE:: CHUPAS MIS BOLAS U SQAURES boy did that take a fast left turn real quick across traffic
@@mrh0ck3y right!! O.o
He's put his time and his hard work into that truck to own a sweet ride with a comfy home that he can take anywhere. Such a cool down to earth person who likes to share his works and his friendships. Congrats on making your lifestyle vision a reality that is for sure awe-inspiring for so many people that are planning and thinking of doing the same thing. As long as you work hard save save save then anything is pretty much possible.
I know this is an old interview but I have to say… Stan was a GREAT INTERVIEW!!! I enjoyed his video interview!!!
Stan, if you’re out there I hope you’re enjoying every single place you go and person you meet along the way…
The toilet and shower is what makes it awesome.
WOW HIS TRUCK IS AMAZING!!!
This is beautiful and the construction is so much better than in a camper or RV.
Good man, he deserve what he has, he delivers goods and products that helps us all, god bless u.
This is just the most wholesome channel on youtube, love tuning in
I drove a Freightliner for two years. It can have all comforts of home. I went out for six weeks at a time. It was a positive experience overall.
13:35 my buddy is a gamer. Look al the xbox games he has
😂 right
This is like a small apartment in the back of driver seats.
It is far from a apartment lol , more of the size of a pop up. Still very cool though
In some ways, his truck is actually nicer than my apartment.
larger than an Ikea studio!
I've seen videos of apartments in NY that were smaller, didn't have their own bathroom, and still cost $$$.
@@calebniederhofer6529 Not by New York City standards. I;ve seen apartments there smaller than this.
Stan: I’m glad that you showed the inside of your truck. I to drove a big rig for 2 1/2 years. I had so much fun and met wonderful people! I also had my truck set up like a home. I cooked, watch tv, & played video games did my log books. The only thing I didn’t have was a portable toilet. But, I didn’t have to get out of my truck for anything. Being a single women
I had another driver tell me how to be cautious at night walking between the truck’s at night... so I very seldom left my truck only to take a shower, wash my clothes and go grocery shopping. For a make-shift toilet, I went to Walmart and purchased a small garage can, and small plastic bags.
Smallest plastic bags.
I like Stan!!! I could listen to him all the time.
Awesome! I miss traveling along with my husband who’s since passed. ❤️ we had a 92’ Freightliner Conventional. Seemed like a mansion after trading in Betsy, the Cabover. I miss riding shotgun. I could cook a Fried chicken dinner flying down I-40 in the beauty! Good memories on the road..mostly
I like fried chicken!!!
#MAGA
mostly?? Sounds like you had some interesting moments
Sharon Hunter thanks for this
@@ranchersam69 Dumb
Nice setup. My friend took his Peterbilt to a company out in Chicago and they stretched the frame approximately 35' and put a custom body on the rig. The company employees the Amish folks to do the the cabinetry and such. Has a couple of slide outs, also self leveling system. He still has the walk through from his cab to the cabin part. Minus the truck, which by the way is an older Peterbilt because he wanted the look, he spent right at $180K. He also had a enclosed double decker caul hauler, maybe 30' in length, made to complete his setup. That was another $60K. Absolutely beautiful. FYI, I asked him about needing a CDL and he said since it's an RV it's not required. But I believe if he at a 70' plus length he's close, if not over the max limit in some states. Stan, if you're interested in his setup and the company he had done the custom work, just let me know.
The Road Dogs out there can appreciate what a truck like that can do for you when you spend more time in that driver seat than anywhere else week after week month after month & time is money
This guy is amazing! Him being an Army Vet makes me wonder if he was a 88M. I served as Commo in 181 Transportation BN in Germany back in the day. The trucks were nothing like this one! He seems like an awesome guy and extremely happy with his job. I’d like to meet him someday!
Go to the People’s Convoy. He’s been with them since Day 1, live-streaming. His channel is SASNAK. They will be at Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland until the end of March, then they have to move to another location.❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸✝️
He is a regular nice guy. Reminded me of my dad. He was also a trucker. Driving teaches you a lot of people skills and they are great story tellers. Stan has both feet planted firmly on the ground. He's a humble, gentleman. True Texan.
this is one happy looking man who earned something he really wanted~
Im not a trucker. I just love trucks and i could listen to stan talk all day about trucks and understand 40 percent. Still cool to watch loll chow lol
This guy is wholesome. I like him.
What a great character this bloke is. He is the sort of person who we British recognise as having made America great. I bet he works his socks off to keep earning and paying taxes to the leeches. Bless his dear heart, he is very good for the soul.
Wow he is really pleasant and he looks like he knows his stuff bless him !!
Adrian Buhac he has a TH-cam channel, “Sasnak”, if you didn’t already know!
He probably just got off on a lot lizard like me and my late dad did back in the 80s haulin rigs. We hauled a super dual carb muffler Right after I grab my GED I am ran cross country for 32 years. What a time
man that's a mansion! Beautiful!
its a truck mate
Soulware3D thought it was a boat
Given Name idk No... Pretty sure that's a plane.
Thought mansions were bigger?
That’s an American dream!
I watched this and found it so interesting, then about half way through I realized I watched this 2 years ago and remember I found it really interesting. Guess I’m smoother 2 years I’ll watch it again.
I love your truck. You've worked hard for this. Thank you for what ever it is that you're hauling. I appreciate each and every trucker out there. Thank you for your service Sir.
Dudes playing halo in there a lot of games on the shelf there
for a truck driver this is really total luxury and a greatthing, happy for you!
The conversion of your rig is amazing. Lots of room with all the comforts of a home.
What's a great Man...Proud for Him...Stay Safe.God bless you always !
Hard work pays off 💰
No he lost a lot of money. He did refrigerated transport of light weight stuff probably chemicals that need to stay a certain temperature. This truck is probably $200k. Not even 2 years of net income for a truck like this. I don't know what he's been doing but probably paying out the nose for a big mansion at home and a wife that filled up credit cards thinking that good money will never stop. You keep your head down and never spend a dollar more on your truck until you save up a mountain of cash and buy yourself a house. I've seen a lot of guys get brand new trucks and lose it all because operating, repair, and insurance costs are stupid. Nothing but cash in the bank makes truck driving worth it.
Mark M I'm pretty sure this guy is far into his trucking career and this isn't his first truck. He also likely doesn't have a home and uses this truck.
Amazing. I used to camp dispersed in Quartzsite, Yuma and Holbrook, Ca., in the '90's, then got my CDL and drove a million miles in 10 years. Now I am 70 with a small pension from Uncle Sam and thinking about dispersed camping again. Nothing like the solitude of the desert in the winter and the peacefulness of the mountains in the summer. Not being married, I took to life on the road like a duck to water. Camping or driving, nothing like being a Nomad. Nice video. I have to admit it....I miss my Big Rig, as hard a life as it was.
Hi great comment when you say you dispersed camp did you live in a van or you mean you lived in a big rig truck? you drove a million miles? for the truck company? where? congrats
+Past Famous I had a pop top VW Westfalia in the '90's. Yeah, drove a million miles as a company driver for Simon out of Salt Lake and Swift out of Phoenix. For the 10 years I was a driver, I lived in the truck, which had a 70-inch sleeper behind the driver's seat. Except when we had some time off. Then me and my dog would head for the nearest campground or National Forest and sleep in a tent.
+Richard, When you say it was a hard life could you expand on that a little bit? Thanks in advance.
Trucking is hard work. First, you have to get your CDL, and probably pass the air brake test and the doubles/triples test and the hazmat test. Then go out with a trainer for several weeks to learn the ropes. Then you get your own truck and try out your wings. Driving a big rig isn't much more difficult than driving a large car, except it is much, much longer and ever manoeuvre has to take that into consideration, especially backing and parking, etc. Everything is power....power windows, power brakes, power steering and this and that. But the transmission has 8,9,10, 13 or 18 gears and double clutching is the proper method for shifting. You got to know all kinds of special laws and know how to use the trucker atlas, know where all the low bridges are and authorized routes....all over the country,, etc., etc., etc. I paid $6,000 for my CDL and 18 weekends of training, 9 in a classroom and 9 on the road. If you are dedicated to a challenging, professional occupation, trucking can be for you.
Richard, thanks for taking the time to share yiur experience.
The best cabin I seen on a 28 wheeler yet
Trucking has saved me a few times from being homeless...my last husband thought he could just abuse me and I wouldn't go anywhere since he had control of the finances and just shut me off....dude I was good before I met you I'll be good after the fact...one call to my former trucking company and they said they had missed me 😆 put all our stuff to the curb and it was all gone in 60 minutes...now I don't feel like I need to settle down anywhere...I have no family to support or anything...it's just myself so why pay bills on a place I don't dwell at. A CDL was the best investment I could have made in my life and hopefully I'll have my truck paid off in a few months and then well...I don't know what then...I never made it that far 😆
People that live this way are the happiest human beings on the internet, and the world
He’s probably a veteran, god bless him
Likely
I think that is a tank badge on his hat. It's beem too many years since I served for me to remember.
GathKingLeppbertI thanks you for your service 😃
@@user-ou6dw3je8j you're welcome. My honor and privilege to have served.
@@GathKingLeppbertI - And I thank you as well, Sir! What branch were you in, and when & where, if I may ask?
@@GathKingLeppbertI thank you for your cervix
Thank you, Stan and all the other truck drivers who are the backbone of this country. Without you guys we would starve.
This guy is so positive! Congrats on that awesome rig! I wish every professional truck driver to have this kind of truck. Stay safe out there, folks.
Randomly found this excellent video
dave alders same here
The truck guy:
cool, honest, down to earth, easy going and friendly.
Stan seems like a great guy and it was a treat to see what he has put together for himself, I’m impressed.
I have driven a truck since 1970 off and on for many years. I finally had to give it up for health reasons. The memories you brought back are only for people who have done it forever like myself and you as well I'm sure. There is absolutely nothing like it anywhere in the world so satisfying as being a professional Steering wheel holder. The job was tedious in many ways that few can identify with. It will always be in my heart and will live in me for as long as I live. I still dream about delivering a load quite a few nights a week. My wife will never understand but I probably love driving my trucks almost as much as I love my wife!! Wonderful life!!
