This film, presented by The Ringsby System, is produced in 1964 by Trucking Activities, and written and directed by Marlowe. It tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday life while showing Ringsby System’s terminals, trucks, and agricultural machines. Official summary: "tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday." The Ringsby Truck Lines featured here was established by J.W. Ringsby in 1932. Over the next 30 years, Ringsby grew by acquiring other trucking companies. In 1969, Ringsby began experiencing financial problems which were compounded in the mid-1970s by a 3 year union strike. Ringsby recovered by 1981 but could not return to its former profitability and shut down for good in 1984. One bit of trivia: company founder J.W. Ringsby at one point owned the Denver Nuggets basketball team.

As a professional truck driver in 2023 with 20 years with a CDL I wish like hell we could go back to the old days no E LOGs no cell phone apps no email no fast food restaurants and respect and uniforms and no having our time wasted and not getting cut off on the highways
...and do away with brokers by going back to pre-deregulation days with established routes and guaranteed rates.
Dispatches back then are probably move effective and professional than most of today.
Neat clean, uniformed drivers showing pride and skill in their profession. Not a flip flop or Croc to be seen…
Flip flops and crocs should be outlawed.
Flip flops and crocs are not OSHA approved 😀
Flip flops are the new safety standards fir 2023 and beyond. L.o.l
And none speak Punjabi!!
And, they were all born in the U.S.. probably just a coincidence.
4:25 two Ford Thunderbirds in a row passed from left to right!
Love that Schnabel load
Love the Pete day cabs and the White city cabovers,not to mention the Fruhauf 27 foot trailers.
This film makes me want to "keep on truckin".
Literally one of my favorite channels on youtube
Glad you enjoy it! Take a deep dive on our submarine of filmic preservation at Patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm
12:00 stranded motorists. Don’t have time for that with my ELD. Gotta keep roll’n.
Digby Ringsby. I remember them. The Digby family is in Colorado. Now it’s Navajo Express, and Voyager Express.
Love that Loadstar dropping off the photo products. Superior design to most others.
Yes those IH Load Stars were great trucks and very popular I owned and run one for 18 years.
Beautiful machines
I remember Ringsby very well,l worked for Garrett out of Emeryville an Oakland Ca and ran along with the drivers up into Oregon and in the 60's sleeper teams East to Denver,wow such memories.Cant believe I've been retired 10 long years.Would I do it again,yep.😅😅
21:20 Rollin, Rollin, keep America strong 🎵
🚚 Thank you
Western Airlines, Boeing 720B, "Fan/Jet" taking off at :030.
Hope that driver at 13:09 didn't have any thoughts about competing in the Roadeo. Backing with an open door is a big no-no! Late edit for my Nor Cal brother drivers...Morris Drayage at 16:31. Big Del Monte haulers and Matson Container house carrier from 98th Avenue Oakland CA. Memories!
@13:52 0.04USD for 1 gallon diesel. Wow
Yup, thank the Fed and state governments for blowing that up. They saw an untapped gold mine and just couldn't let that go on.
I can remember my Uncle John buying 20,000 gallons of diesel about this same time period for $400.00 to fuel his fleet of dump trucks.
Quite an insight on this vital component of the US economy. Without them, "the final mile" would not exist in efficient commerce. "Soccer Moms may run on gasoline & EV's, but the economy runs on diesel."
Optimus Prime, is that you?!
Yo don't blow my cover human
That's his great great great great greatgrand daddy,pappy prime
The voice over sounds like Loren Greene.
A little at first, but then less as it goes on.
@@ArmpitStudios I kept going back and forth,and I believe you're right.
In 64, Lorne Greene was a big TV star....doubt he would be narrating an industrial film for a trucking company
@@jimeditorial You'd be surprised how many known TV and movie actors have done small film voiceover work.
@@ArmpitStudios Maybe, but he was the star of one of most watched shows on TV....commercials, yes, but this is pretty small stuff....and I'm sure they would credit him, as his name had weight....but maybe it was cropped from the print
17:04
I suspect this is not the original music. If it is, it represents _quite_ a character shift in the film.
Yeah, threw me for a loop I must say.
Back then, these drivers made more than lawyers did. Not that I blame them. They worked without power steering, ac, fridges, a microwave or air ride. 💀
Where is the clock tower that is shown in the beginning? Seems like this was filmed somewhere in the west USA possibly Washington or Oregon.
Smoke anyone?
Got to tell you, I grew up in those times in Pittsburgh,Pa. lots and lots of smoke from steal mills, factories, locomotives, and trucks. I’m 72 yrs old, still working full time. We didn’t have near the respiratory infections that they have today. 90 percent of the older folks in my family lived beyond the age of 80, some into their middle to late 90’s?????????😮
No ELD'S on those dashboards 😉
Did i see 21 cents a gallon on that pump i just paid 4.35 a gallon,send me back in time just 4 the diesel prices
More like under 4 cents a gallon. 2 gallons on the meter was around 7.5 cents.
7:22 El Centro or Brawley?
👍
2 gallons of gas for $0.07 I live in Atlantic Canada we pay 1.83 per litre.There is 4 litres in a gallon.8 litres for 7 cents.I wish!!!
Does anyone know what the song at the end is called?
Narrator sounds like James Earl Jones.
Not even close.
I thought so, anyway. Kind of had the same resonance. 1964, on second thought, might have been before his time.
The clock @2:55 is weird? The numbers are shifted clockwise by a half hour? Anyone know what thats all about??
The numbers are the light sections and are in Roman Numeral form, which explains their differing sizes. The dark sections of the clock face are the spaces between the numbers.
5:55 , Wow Mr. Brady was correct
We are still around what about you Ringsby.
THANKs A BASIN AT 10.25?
Why do I suddenly feel the need to pray to St. Peterbuilt?
They must not know about,j.i.t freight,just in time for car factorys medical, factorys where its on time or you shut down a line and get fines for every hour its down
"A tombstone every mile", "Six days on the road", "Roll truck roll", "Diesel smoke, dangerous curves", "Give me forty acres", "Pinball machine", "Convoy".....one life for ten >>>"Widow maker"
Phantom 309, wolf creek pass…
They had to do these bc they killed the rail lines
I think Goodyear had a part to do with that.
@@Dadsezso Firestone
Rail lines don't go to your door.
