There's some series out there with the punchline being "A world without X" and dramatizing how it would look like. In the "a world without religion", the first people to be thanked in the food prayer, after mother and father for buying and preparing it, truck driver and farmer came right away. Haven't checked the comments but they are very civil I presume
I do remember a bunch of license plates on trucks when I was a kid and when I started driving I still had a bunch plates on the truck and a 3 ring binder full of paper in one way it is easier than use to be but in most places trucks are considered a source of revenue
Ward Bond. He was one of the best and most prolific movie and later television actors of the 20th century. Nominated for 13 Academy Awards. When he died, John Wayne wept when delivering the eulogy at Wards' funeral.
Story... As a young lad on my motor bike I turned into a haulage yard to dodge some idiot with an Air Rifle, immediately confronted by a angry dog with an equally angry yard manager. "What do you wan't this is Private land" not wanting to be on the bad side of the Dog or his owner I said " I am looking for some work" thinking I was safe the reply came " Ok lad those three trailers need painting the jobs yours" from that day to now I never ever want to see the name Freuhauf ever.
The U.S. soldiers noted the German Autobahn they were amazed at the double lane roads. So when Eisenhower became president I think they started the interstate highways.
Some of the PA turnpike was open before WWII and parts of the NY thruway and Mass Pike not to mention freeways in California were done before Eisenhower signed the national system of defense highways (Interstates) into law in 1956. Eisenhower was also a moving force behind the US system of highways after WWI.
Eisenhower led a mechanized military march across the US in the 1920's. I believe it took something like three weeks. He, and others associated with it, recommended a linked series of highways back then. But interstate transportation was still underfunded. No state wanted to pay for another's roads. The interstate highway project he started as President was financed largely through the Department of Defense. It was sold as being needed to quickly move troops in case of war. There are also requirements that along a set distance there is at least a two mile long zone that is straight and flat, so it can be used as an emergency runway.
One of the Fruehaufs owned some gas stations around detroit back in the early 70's. I started working at one as a pump jockey at age 14. The station was co-owned by Ricky Firestone who would use the tire machine to mount tires on his race car. After awhile they ley me do simple mechanics like belt replacements and such. I think it was a gulf ststion because I remember the little clock that ran whenha customer drove over the driveway bell. I had like 20-30 seconds to sprint out to the car. Checked all fluids and oil, washed the windows. Miniskirts were in fashion and I lingered on that windshield a bit longer than I should have a few times. 😅 Yes Ma'am I made sure it was spotless. 13 Mile and Middlebelt.
Everything he said still reigns true today. Everyone still bitches about trucks being in their way without thinking about the fact that everything they own came on one. Even the car that they're driving. They bitch about trucks wearing out the roads, but they still want their stuff delivered to them.
Great. My original experience with trucks goes back to the early 60's. Oh boy l saw some changes over my 45 year career. My slogan l adapted and have held onto is. "If you've got it, a truck brought it"❤❤ Thanks for posting this interesting video.
I knew an old man he was about 80 in 1970, he said he drove trucks from Chicago to Los Angeles for 3 cents a mile in the 40s. Trucks have always been rolling piggy banks.
😊😊 I heard my uncle say many years ago be 4 a highway dept people plowed the fields up and got the rocks off the ground and ran them through rock crushers 2 make gravel 4 road and on old roads around the farms they used railroad ties 2 put in the roads 2 keep them from getting so bad 😊😊 OMG 9 12 2O24
And 70 years later we still have restrictions in different states along with restrictions on the drivers themselves! I live in Texas where Autonomous Trucks are now in limited use! That's the new mantra in transportation....eliminate the human element! Of course...created by humans.
Look at it this way we can go from e end of this country now with 80K gross weight and with just one fuel sticker and a dot number not to mention just one license plate !
I'm 72yo, but remember crossing Colorado Blvd in Pasadena my Mom's hand keeping me in the crosswalk, the loud scary trucks had a dozen or more license plates on the bumper..., all different states
Esta clase de videos tendrian que pasar en las escuelas. Pero cierto que en las escuelas estan mas imteresados en difundir cosas como la identidad de genero y otras mamadas.
Intermodal hadn't hit the scene, when this came out. Look at all the container ships that ply the oceans. Much of the food that you find in grocery stores today, wasn't even produce or manufactured in the United States. That isn't good, in my opinion.
Proof of Devolution. The Roman Philosophy that each generation is a little more shit than the previous. This WAS the U.S. in thought, spirit and deed. How the Mighty have fallen! Peace.
Those are when logs or timbers(I believe length as long as road is wide - back when a lot were built probably like 16 feet or so) are laid down right next to each other crossways of the road. Generally across peat bogs and other problem areas back in the day. A lot of them logs in peat bogs are probably still in service 130 years later.
@@modee-b9s I assume they were covered in gravel or dirt at the time. I just know about this because I have been told that the Township roads that go over a couple of miles of floating peat bogs near me were made this way.
Macadam as they said was named after Scotsman John Loudon McAdam. It’s a process of applying layers of mixed size gravel that will interlock and form a solid base. Apply tar to the surface, and you have Tarmac.
Under the administration and states we have why are we even paying any taxes? Just prolonging the inevitable? Festering like a sore instead of nipping it in the bud.
Got food??. THANK A TRUCKER AND A FARMER!!

And that was 1960, the same year John Wayne had one lung removed.
From one history buff to another, I thank you for these videos!
As a truck nut, this is awesome!👍
Glad you found it!

lol good memory.
Dont bite the hand that feeds ya. Those kept your family fed & the lights turned on.
Were they democrats? Because, now, I don't ever want to see another democrat again.
GOD BLESS THE ROADS AND RAILROADS!!!!

Look at the semi-trucks of the '50's compared to now!
Amazing, huh?
Good production quality solid video thanks

My first truck rides were in 1960 with my friends dad. First paper then Christmas Trees. I loved the simplicity of it then.
After all these years of watching them pass by I finally know how to pronounce FRUEHAUF.
and what is said in this movie is so true in 2024
I absolutely love the animation in this period and also that very very sugary music whether it's proud music sad music or sentimental music

You’re preaching to the choir brother!! HAMMER DOWN!!
This movie's ideas are the way things should be done today but thats back when people took pride in the jobs they did
Back when there was incentive to do a good job and be proud of yourself, your job and your country
I totally agree with both of you well said 👏
Do your best
Always grateful😊keep it rollin❤
Keep on trucking
Dont cuss the truck??? Hell they give me the middle finger and cuss me out.

As true today as it was back then.
There's Perry White from "Adventures of Superman" 1950's tv show and Seth Adams from "Wagon Train"
"Great Caesar's ghost!"
"Don't call me chief !".
Good grief. Next time I'm pissed because I have to stop at a weigh station, I'll have to remember that I'm not having such a bad day!
It must have been great to be able to bring a bottle of liquor with you in the truck back in the day.
Heavenly Father God, please humble our nation. Please remind us how far YOU have allowed us to come. In Jesus Name. Amen
All those post war truckers are wearing war surplus Army A-2 jackets and fedoras. Truckers always have had their own style nitch.
I thought this was about Fruehauf. I turned it down and watched it for the Old Iron.

Amen hes telling the truth .in 2024 its worst
And the roads today are still horrible in some states.

Hey Brendon
I like those times, tho I'm glad I didn't live back there, the smoke was terrible I think
If you were around back then you’d never even notice it
@@michaelwills1926 not true, i remember those mornings when i was going out and the air was filled with smoke

Damn, this is some heavy duty propaganda. When he jumped the shark at 16:46 with the old “national defense” schtick, I about lost it.

Corduroy roads?!

Generally across peat bogs and other problem areas back in the day. A lot of them logs in peat bogs are probably still in service 130 years later.
It was also a type of fabric :)
@@wdmm94 Bumpy ass ride on them corduroy roads. Practical solution at the time.
@@modee-b9s I assume they were covered in gravel or dirt at the time. I just know about this because I have been told that the Township roads that go over a couple of miles of floating peat bogs near me were made this way.
If they already paid for them. Then why am I paying road taxes.
Maintenance and repaving, I’d imagine
Macadam as they said was named after Scotsman John Loudon McAdam. It’s a process of applying layers of mixed size gravel that will interlock and form a solid base. Apply tar to the surface, and you have Tarmac.
And tolls are truly worthless expenses on paid for roads
