@@daedaetinez6406 I drove truck for years I always honk for the kids. School buses always have kids doing it. I use to take my kid 20 some plus years ago. She was maybe 4 or 5 years old and every weekend I would drive from central oklahoma to little rock AR. So her momma worked on the weekends so I took my kid. she use to point at my rope for the horn then put her hands over her ears until I blew it. Wow was she cute. I even taught her how to do it to other trucks from the seat of mine. Almost all of them would do it then hit me up on the radio and tell me it made their day. But my favorite time I ever had someone give me the signal I was going across lake Eufaula on the I 40 bridge, it runs along the side the water for a few miles but once a dude on water skies gave me the signal and a thumbs up when I did it.
@@jvmiller1995 yes that is awesome it brings out the kid in us all the time. What a great story. And thank you for driving truck. It’s not a easy job, i give you men SO MUCH RESPECT! And thank you for “bringing it” No Trucks ,, No nothing! Thank you for being a Driver. Blessings from PA sir. Be safe out there.
I'm not a trucker and never thought about being a trucker. In fact, I don't even know why TH-cam recommended this. But seeing this beauty makes me come close to questioning what I am doing with my life. The fact that this guy and his wife basically get to drive around the country in what is basically a camper with a trailer attached and make money by the mile sounds very sweet.
Yea but it gets old....this guys setup would sure make it more tolerable. The most important aspect is that He has a relationship with Christ. I hated being a trucker,but I asked Christ to save me and instruct me in truth,and now I have peace. (But the fancy truck these guys got is the bomb)!🤯👍
Amen brother, the peace given by our lord and savior passes all understanding. Wish folks would get out of cultural Christianity and actually meet Jesus
I feel ya. I've had a lot of jobs throughout my life, including a professional videogame artist, and currently a full-time custom knife maker. Now I'm planning on taking a course to get my CDL within the next month. A year ago it didn't even cross my mind. Now I'm absolutely stoked.
@@stevecollins5290 Anything gets old. If you want to see the country, and get paid for it this is an great option. I've been doing it for years and love it. I'm also a retired cop. When my wife told me to go do something else if I wanted to, I did!
I admire this man. Living a life of his choosing, taking pride in his work, accompanied by a wife who seems to accept the life they have chosen. What a success. Self reliant, focussed, independent. Good Luck!
I love skepticism....." a wife who SEEMS to accept" I know where it comes from--but I genuinely think she does accept that lifestyle if he got her flooring for the truck on Valentines day.
rumpleforeskin73 a large part of the reason for everything you said is the loss of respect for a good truck driver. It’s considered a nonskilled position. The nonenglish speaking drivers are willing to do it for half the price as the guy in the video.
@rumpleforeskin73 this statement (and Mike Smith's) are 100% correct. Though I'm sure many will find it offensive, it is the absolute reality of the trucking industry in America today.
Oh and LOL @ swift. For years they have been the punch line to 90% of the bad trucker jokes, sadly they are becoming indistinguishable from most every other fleet driver out there. The whole industry is becoming the joke.
My uncle got his dream truck, a fully loaded Lonestar International just before he was diagnosed with cancer in his nose, His nose was removed but the cancer had spread to his eye and brain then with that he was given 9 months to live. I was given his Lonestar International in his will which i rent out to a great friend of the family and my uncles best friend and he uses it for his company and also takes the best care of it. When i see things like this it really does make me wonder what my uncle would have done thus far with his truck, probably would have loved that i own my machine shop and could make him stuff for it too. This rig is gorgeous, The work that went into it is insane, The frame work AND adding another axle to accomodate the sleeper is blowing my mind and to be working on it for TWELVE YEARS. ON THE ROAD. Absolute madman, thank you for sharing 😂😂
Yeah, same. But this was really kinda interesting. Good job TH-cam algorithm, ya weirdo. Neat surprise. He's a proud trucker, and interviewer great too.

I like how all the man is humble and realizes that God has put him where he it's currently at. even if you don't believe in God, I've never heard anybody to be humble and just listen before you open your mouth. and that man is a representation of that
This guy said something in passing here that no one is really talking about in the comments but it is GOLD for life. When asked where other people should start he said "Take care of what you have". Wash it up, put some stacks on, some fenders....take care of what you've got first" - that right there is words to live by. How many time do you see someone telling you how much they want (deserve) a new car meanwhile the care they drive gets treated like a piece of crap. Great advice for everything!!

Excellent xl classic, superbly done up right! That truck is some sweet eye candy! That man took his time n made that Freightliner exquisite,major kudos!
I'm not one to write in anyone's page like or subscribe, but I just had to say that was a really good interview. You asked food questions and he answered with truth experience and honesty..... the real truck way.. many thumbs up
Not a trucker but good content and that guy is the epitome of “credit where credit is due”just by his responses and appearance in that career field and handiwork 👍hopefully he keeps on trucking and is happy
So happy to see two American truckers one black and one white having a civil intelligent, friendly conversation!! This is what true Americans look like 👍🏾
Iv been a truck mechanic for 10 years in Australia and I can agree with this man is that I would rather buy a 20 year old truck and rebuild it.. with no dpf, no scr, no egr and no breakdowns
I’ve spent a career in white collar professional pursuits yet every time I drive by one of these big rigs, I’m jealous that I’m not doing that. My wife just rolls her eyes at me. God speed to all those getting stuff to where it needs to be! Stay safe.
Thanks random TH-cam. I know absolutely nothing about trucking and here I am fascinated about the details of both truck and the process of hauling goods.
You can tell when someone really knows their vessel. Whether it’s a car, plane, atv or a semi truck it’s always refreshing to hear someone explain the intricate pieces of their build, and the wisdom is consistently incredible
I’m a Sr. Engineer at the company I work for with a college degree in engineering plus a couple of other degrees. However as we all know , having a degree doesn’t mean you’re the smartest person around. I have met many blue collar workers that are a lot smarter than I am. My grandfather was one the smartest people I knew and he just had an eighth grade education. I appreciate people for who they are and not the degree they have. This man is very wise and talented, my hats off to him. I really respect him for abilities, his wisdom and his witness. Also, great job on the interview, I just clicked on it out of curiosity but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks
I think exceptions should be made for truckers with super sleepers in the weight thing. It promotes humanity and probably would make trucking more appealing. Since I feel everything economic needs a justification it also makes truckers better rested and so safer.
Dying Breed right there.... I've been in the game for 25yrs now and I learned a few things.... Keep on Keeping on Brother!! They don't make them like this anymore... Glad to see him share the knowledge...
I'm 23, I just bought my first truck. The last company I worked for was all about embracing new equipment with new technology...unfortunately it's been a huge downfall for them. They went the way of DEF and DPF and even went as far as to "invest" in trucks with compressed natural gas. That being said, every truck they had me in didn't last more than a month at most cause of issues with one of those 3 things. So that was a huge consideration when buying my first truck. I ended up going with an 07 international with a c15 cat in it. No after treatment on it. So I definitely appreciate what the gentleman in the video was saying, it's nice to have something you can fix yourself.
Daniel Gunsallus basically everything right up to around that time is still a drivers truck / car.. not long after that 2010- now.. technology just ruined so much and big brother is able to hack into your shit. I prefer more mechanical stuff.
It’s amazing how much you can feel the love and passion this man has in his lifestyle: this isn’t just a job to him this is a passion. I hauled for a very short period of time (started with an awful company)and just after listening to this mans passion it makes me want to get back into it. This is amazing...
WoW... this is one of THE BEST TH-cam videos I've EVER seen! I'm an older guy whose never driven a single mile in a big rig, but this video was totally fascinating!! Trucker Brown, you are an excellent interviewer. Mr. Snow is the most personable gentleman! WoW, just can't find enough wonderful things to say about this couple opening up their "Home" and telling their story. WELL DONE Trucker Brown!!! What I really want to know is what Phyllis (sp) was making for dinner!!! haha A+++++++++ Video!!!
A dying breed -- the real American. Ambitious, innovative and passionate about what he does, creating something like art from a humble working activity. No university diplomas or "expert" credentials required, just sweat equity and an unswerving personal vision based on real-world experience.
@DaveConleyPortfolio do they own a house, have kids, a mortgage? Or do they just live out of their truck cab? Living in your vehicle is certainly not the tropical American
Stan who's the first person you ever truly heard use the word caveat? I heard Casey Niestat say it a few years ago and had never heard the word before now I hear it everywhere...
@Stan Dalone LOL! 58 and hear and use it often. This is such an odd subject! Our language is fading with all these youngsters failing to learn it and coming up with their own dialect. My wife is a high school teacher and it's very clear, the future is very bleak for America when you see as a whole, the future citizenry and workforce. It's really THAT bad.
@Stan Dalone I'm 35 and Casey is almost 39. So unless you used that word at the age of 12, which you didn't. Your talking shit. I also hold a university diploma and don't appreciate your condescension. OK BOOMER 😁
I know absolutely nothing about trucking but holy crap, that interview was a master class! Both sides were well informed and such an intelligent and authentic discusssion. Always impressed when subject matter experts chat. Such a cool truck that I would've never appreciated as well and now I just want to check it out.
Daniel and Phyllis Snow and their truck is amazing! I have never heard of anyone building out his/her own truck! They are creative, knowledgeable, skilled, well-versed and a pleasant couple. They have the best profitable, well-built home on wheels I have ever seen. Above all, they love GOD and believe in prayer! I pray that they will be able to somehow continue sharing their knowledge with others. Great interview, Trucker Brown!
@@theangryitalian7922 if they over fill it, the truck can flip. Your brakes could give up, etc. Worse case scenario, but anything is deadly. You sleeping can de deadly
@@SpoilerAlert__ in California you can't get around a scale. Being overweight takes a special permit. And steep fines if you're caught without one. Unloading your truck at the scale to get the weight off. Trust me that couple knows how much weight is on that truck, and exactly how to disperse it across the axle.
Blessed rise I love trucking so much I love it more than anything so yes this couple as done a tremendous heartbeat work so that's the truck I need for my ride when I come to the state next year it must be red Peterbilt tho
Great to see this hard working American couple. These are the type of people that built America and keep it running today. Love this video. Thanks for posting!
I'm not a trucker, but I still found this interview very enjoyable. You did a fantastic job with the questions, and Mr Snow was the perfect example of a man's man. Between the two of you, this was a great illustration of what the real fabric of America is made of. Great job!
This Gentleman and his Lovely wife , are VERY much the real Deal . His Working , " Mobile Home , with Shed " , is a Work of Art . Total understanding of Load Regulations and Techniques for proper Load distribution . And he's Right . The BIG truck will fit anywhere a smaller one will . Just Care and Skill/Knowledge required .
I believe many kids get bogged down in college debt instead of taking initiative and working with their hands and their mind! This guy is smarter than a Harvard grad!
@@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13 Exactly, I'm wary of 'Christians' because most are beyond help. Most of them claim to be to hide their ignorant bigotry. As long as they keep the god talk to a minimum and stay decent people, I'm cool with them.
I could literally sit and talk to this man for a hear straight. Can you imagine the stories he has to tell? And he just seems like a genuine good ol' boy!
I sit behind a computer all day but sure as hell appreciate what truckers do for society. Since a kid I've been fascinated by trucks, so this was really interesting to watch!
Ive spent the last 2.5 total years of my short life wrenching on trucks and equipment for various companies, and id say probably 8/10 times a truck has gone down that I end up wrenching on something in the emissions control system has failed.
people break neck looking at ferrari / lambo but this thing goes by which is worth just as much if not waaaay more.... and no one knows wtf it is.... man these trucks are incredible and the people who make these trucks possible like this gentleman are incredible as well!
Wow. No idea how I came across this, but i can appreciate the driver, the interviewer, and the truck. For more than just the truck. God bless America. THIS is one way we can all get along.
I was just curious to see what a sleeper in a big rig looks like. I drive by them all the time and have never seen the inside of a sleeper rig. Your interview and the gentleman you interviewed taught me more than I ever imagined. So fascinating. Thank you, Trucker Brown, for the lesson. Moreover, that you, the gentleman and his wife you interviewed, and all USA truckers for keeping the country moving over the long months of this Pandemic. God bless you all.

Hello john
I'm not one to write in anyone's page like or subscribe, but I just had to say that was a really good interview. You asked food questions and he answered with truth experience and honesty..... the real truck way.. many thumbs up
Not a trucker but good content and that guy is the epitome of “credit where credit is due”just by his responses and appearance in that career field and handiwork 👍hopefully he keeps on trucking and is happy
Right?? Absolutley he deserves an award for being awesome
So happy to see two American truckers one black and one white having a civil intelligent, friendly conversation!! This is what true Americans look like 👍🏾
Iv been a truck mechanic for 10 years in Australia and I can agree with this man is that I would rather buy a 20 year old truck and rebuild it.. with no dpf, no scr, no egr and no breakdowns
lets be honest....
None of us searched for this.
Bandit LOL 😆
I actually did, I love trucks and truckers, and related stuff
Let's be honest.....you took the time to make a stupid ass comment which makes you look like a douchebag!!!!
What makes him a doushe? Seems like your the fucktard here
Honestly? Haven't we all been really searching for this?
I mean really?.
This trucker is the real deal! ...nothing but facts!
We need to respect and listen to knowledge and experience.
Great vid. Thank you 🙏
That's a man's man right there ,I could listen to him talk all day
Ah yep. Watched it two times in a row. Learned a lot both times.
he should make those ASMR videos. serious. very soothing voice
This is one of the most humbleness man ever. Everything is knowledge coming from him. Doesn’t mind talking to better someone
It’s awesome how he includes his wife in everything “we did this” “we did that” 🤞🏼 badass truck and even cooler owner
I’ve spent a career in white collar professional pursuits yet every time I drive by one of these big rigs, I’m jealous that I’m not doing that. My wife just rolls her eyes at me. God speed to all those getting stuff to where it needs to be! Stay safe.
@Hello Keith how are you doing?
Thanks random TH-cam. I know absolutely nothing about trucking and here I am fascinated about the details of both truck and the process of hauling goods.
Same here. I work in technology but this popped up on my youtube page and looked interesting. It was.
It's a good career. Most of us are making 50k+ a year. With the new bonus we got I'm making over 60k after taxes.
I just saw this truck in person today. Nice guy.
You can tell when someone really knows their vessel. Whether it’s a car, plane, atv or a semi truck it’s always refreshing to hear someone explain the intricate pieces of their build, and the wisdom is consistently incredible
This is when a man and his wife have mutual interests ... salute to you amazing family ....
This is a beautiful thing
Worth every minute of the time I spent watching it.
I’m a Sr. Engineer at the company I work for with a college degree in engineering plus a couple of other degrees. However as we all know , having a degree doesn’t mean you’re the smartest person around. I have met many blue collar workers that are a lot smarter than I am. My grandfather was one the smartest people I knew and he just had an eighth grade education. I appreciate people for who they are and not the degree they have. This man is very wise and talented, my hats off to him. I really respect him for abilities, his wisdom and his witness. Also, great job on the interview, I just clicked on it out of curiosity but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks
When the wife is down for the cause..
Life is good!
I think exceptions should be made for truckers with super sleepers in the weight thing. It promotes humanity and probably would make trucking more appealing.
Since I feel everything economic needs a justification it also makes truckers better rested and so safer.
Mr and Mrs Snow are wonderful people. So blessed to be such a loving and dedicated team.
Dying Breed right there.... I've been in the game for 25yrs now and I learned a few things.... Keep on Keeping on Brother!!
They don't make them like this anymore... Glad to see him share the knowledge...
@Hello Michael Dow, How are you doing
I know absolutely nothing about trucking but I just learn so much in a short time, thank you very much
This is a smart man older vehicles are stronger and easily fixed then the new stuff words all young people need to hear and remember.
I'm 23, I just bought my first truck. The last company I worked for was all about embracing new equipment with new technology...unfortunately it's been a huge downfall for them. They went the way of DEF and DPF and even went as far as to "invest" in trucks with compressed natural gas. That being said, every truck they had me in didn't last more than a month at most cause of issues with one of those 3 things. So that was a huge consideration when buying my first truck. I ended up going with an 07 international with a c15 cat in it. No after treatment on it. So I definitely appreciate what the gentleman in the video was saying, it's nice to have something you can fix yourself.
Daniel Gunsallus basically everything right up to around that time is still a drivers truck / car.. not long after that 2010- now.. technology just ruined so much and big brother is able to hack into your shit. I prefer more mechanical stuff.
Text them coz their ears f'd up
It’s amazing how much you can feel the love and passion this man has in his lifestyle: this isn’t just a job to him this is a passion. I hauled for a very short period of time (started with an awful company)and just after listening to this mans passion it makes me want to get back into it. This is amazing...
Trucker Brown. Nice interview man. Appreciated the simplicity!
WoW... this is one of THE BEST TH-cam videos I've EVER seen! I'm an older guy whose never driven a single mile in a big rig, but this video was totally fascinating!! Trucker Brown, you are an excellent interviewer. Mr. Snow is the most personable gentleman! WoW, just can't find enough wonderful things to say about this couple opening up their "Home" and telling their story. WELL DONE Trucker Brown!!! What I really want to know is what Phyllis (sp) was making for dinner!!! haha A+++++++++ Video!!!
"WERE GETTING JIGGY WITH THAT". LOL. THIS OLD MAN IS AWESOME!
A dying breed -- the real American. Ambitious, innovative and passionate about what he does, creating something like art from a humble working activity. No university diplomas or "expert" credentials required, just sweat equity and an unswerving personal vision based on real-world experience.
@DaveConleyPortfolio do they own a house, have kids, a mortgage? Or do they just live out of their truck cab? Living in your vehicle is certainly not the tropical American
Such a generous man with his time and knowledge. God bless.
This is a guy you keep a around. what a gem. Im not a trucker but I know wisdom when I hear it.
Facts ✅
I'd trust doing business with the Snow's. It all comes across sorted, thought-through and reliable. Great vid, thanks for sharing!
I love this guy, he’s all Red, White, & Blue......
And green, lots of green
And a touch of chrome
And some Arby’s
@@alexfranklin3502 🤣🤣🤣
Mike Oneill are you sure about that bud. Don’t get ahead of yourself
He has a point. The cost of repair does not exceed the cost of replacement.
Stan who's the first person you ever truly heard use the word caveat?
I heard Casey Niestat say it a few years ago and had never heard the word before now I hear it everywhere...
@Stan Dalone LOL! 58 and hear and use it often. This is such an odd subject! Our language is fading with all these youngsters failing to learn it and coming up with their own dialect. My wife is a high school teacher and it's very clear, the future is very bleak for America when you see as a whole, the future citizenry and workforce. It's really THAT bad.
@Stan Dalone I'm 35 and Casey is almost 39. So unless you used that word at the age of 12, which you didn't. Your talking shit.
I also hold a university diploma and don't appreciate your condescension.
OK BOOMER 😁
That's exactly how I feel about my Chevy cavalier but everyone talks shit about it and it's not even bad it just doesn't have ac
Foreigner here, first one i heard using it was Paul harrel. He is the best.
I know absolutely nothing about trucking but holy crap, that interview was a master class! Both sides were well informed and such an intelligent and authentic discusssion. Always impressed when subject matter experts chat. Such a cool truck that I would've never appreciated as well and now I just want to check it out.
Don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but WOW y'all are great people lol
Daniel and Phyllis Snow and their truck is amazing! I have never heard of anyone building out his/her own truck! They are creative, knowledgeable, skilled, well-versed and a pleasant couple. They have the best profitable, well-built home on wheels I have ever seen. Above all, they love GOD and believe in prayer! I pray that they will be able to somehow continue sharing their knowledge with others. Great interview, Trucker Brown!
My hats off to that gentleman and his wife true people and amairicans God bless .
That’s a career that became a passion. Combined with the schedule of being your own employer. Rare and deadly trifecta.
Well said sir.
How is it deadly?
@@theangryitalian7922 if they over fill it, the truck can flip. Your brakes could give up, etc. Worse case scenario, but anything is deadly. You sleeping can de deadly
@@SpoilerAlert__ in California you can't get around a scale. Being overweight takes a special permit. And steep fines if you're caught without one. Unloading your truck at the scale to get the weight off. Trust me that couple knows how much weight is on that truck, and exactly how to disperse it across the axle.
This is a great couple, with class A interstate license. They're seeing America, they love being together.
This dude has his shit together everything he said is the undisputed TRUTH
Blessed rise I love trucking so much I love it more than anything so yes this couple as done a tremendous heartbeat work so that's the truck I need for my ride when I come to the state next year it must be red Peterbilt tho
Great to see this hard working American couple. These are the type of people that built America and keep it running today. Love this video. Thanks for posting!
In this era of divisiveness I’m proud to see people like these two are out there.
There are a lot like this out there. The media doesn't want anyone to know it. Time to shut off the media and get out there and meet some of them.
I'm not a trucker, but I still found this interview very enjoyable. You did a fantastic job with the questions, and Mr Snow was the perfect example of a man's man.
Between the two of you, this was a great illustration of what the real fabric of America is made of. Great job!
This Gentleman and his Lovely wife , are VERY much the real Deal . His Working , " Mobile Home , with Shed " , is a Work of Art .
Total understanding of Load Regulations and Techniques for proper Load distribution .
And he's Right . The BIG truck will fit anywhere a smaller one will . Just Care and Skill/Knowledge required .
@Hello John how are you doing?
I believe many kids get bogged down in college debt instead of taking initiative and working with their hands and their mind! This guy is smarter than a Harvard grad!
I have so much respect for this type of Christian. Great man
"type of Christian"
Yeah christians are just normal people so
@@Paid2Win lol Not not all them.
@@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13 Exactly, I'm wary of 'Christians' because most are beyond help. Most of them claim to be to hide their ignorant bigotry. As long as they keep the god talk to a minimum and stay decent people, I'm cool with them.
Daniel needs to pause with a few "uhh, huh" inserts to sound like Carl from Sling Blade.
The kid interviewing him had no idea what he was talking about 90 percent of the time but he was a polite young man. Refreshing.
I could literally sit and talk to this man for a hear straight. Can you imagine the stories he has to tell? And he just seems like a genuine good ol' boy!
"Kneel at the cross. Christ will meet you there."
Love that little detail. Very nice machine.
Yeah you got it
This is as American as it can get.
Love it.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Nah its missin GUNS
I bet he’s got a gun in there somewhere. Ha.
I sit behind a computer all day but sure as hell appreciate what truckers do for society. Since a kid I've been fascinated by trucks, so this was really interesting to watch!
Safe Travels You Two
It's Been My Pleasure
Beautiful Truck

“As you can see we’re... kinda gettin jiggy wit that”...
Start by taking care of what you got. Words of wisdom.
YOU CAN TELL HE TAKES PRIDE IN HIS WORK... RESPECT
I like hearing these two speak trucking. My newer truck has been towed more than any truck that I have ever driven. DPF system is usually the problem.
Thank the epa for that. They're a mafia.
Ive spent the last 2.5 total years of my short life wrenching on trucks and equipment for various companies, and id say probably 8/10 times a truck has gone down that I end up wrenching on something in the emissions control system has failed.
Sub freeze weather, northern states, seems involved more often, at least from comments...
@Hello Brad Roberts, How are you doing
people break neck looking at ferrari / lambo but this thing goes by which is worth just as much if not waaaay more.... and no one knows wtf it is.... man these trucks are incredible and the people who make these trucks possible like this gentleman are incredible as well!
What a polite christian couple. Jesus bless them every day. I wish I could be there to pray with them.
Amen !
8 miles per gallon is amazing for a truck of that size
Scores Man if I could get above 4.8 it would be nice
My Ford E250 van gets about 10. :(
scores man is about having fun!
Yeah. I'm in a 2019 cascadia standard size sleeper getting 8.2. That's wild. And he has 700hp. Crazy
@@kevinwalsh4 what's your average speed?
I don't fully understand. I do respect this man.
This is a very talented man. He may not consider himself a mechanic but he certainly has the brain of a mechanical genius.
Wow. No idea how I came across this, but i can appreciate the driver, the interviewer, and the truck. For more than just the truck.
God bless America. THIS is one way we can all get along.
I was just curious to see what a sleeper in a big rig looks like. I drive by them all the time and have never seen the inside of a sleeper rig. Your interview and the gentleman you interviewed taught me more than I ever imagined. So fascinating. Thank you, Trucker Brown, for the lesson. Moreover, that you, the gentleman and his wife you interviewed, and all USA truckers for keeping the country moving over the long months of this Pandemic. God bless you all.
I like that guys attitude. And how he feels about the industry
