This is a pic I took of Dave a few years ago, when we went to a Volvo Dealership to review one of the new Volvo's. It took quite a bit of convincing to get Dave to stand close to this Volvo to take a photo! LOL.... You can see the look of disgust on his face. 😉😂

"2015 — Dave's truck. 2026 — Jamie's truck. Photos taken by me, at the exact same spot, same love for this old girl... but it's Dave's good friend in the driver's seat now, keeping his memory rolling."

Just a pic of my buddy, The Lettuce King posing with Old Blue, at our local Car + Truck Show. We had an awesome visit and had the chance to record a few videos..... Nick will do some edits to remove some the 'trucker talk' hahaha.... and we'll post them in the upcoming week on the Channel. Keep the Rubber Side Down Lettuce King.... and we'll see you on the Backhaul. ❤️❤️❤️

A trucker in 1980 took home the equivalent of about $131,000 in today's money. Today's average driver earns less than half that. Read that again. Here's exactly what happened 👇

For all of the CONVOY fans......

In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs"

Here I am at the Clifford Truck Show a few years back (Dave was the photographer). It was about 5 Celcius that day... frigging freezing cold and raining! But we were determined to check out those cabovers! This year's show is July 3-4... if you get the chance, it's a good deal for only $5 bucks.

Based on our recent article "Freightliner Cascadia vs Peterbilt 379: A Real Driver's Honest Take" ... which truck would YOU not hesitate to hop in and drive to the West Coast tomorrow?

Someone mentioned to me this week that they thought our brand, Smart Trucking is an 'oxymoron' 😄 www.smart-trucking.com/peterbilt-379-vs-freightlin…
This week I put out an article .... a veteran driver's (Dave's) honest take on the Peterbilt 379 vs. the Freightliner Cascadia. (The Driver's Experience)
Old school iron vs. the new breed.
Manual vs. automatic.
I guess I hit a nerve somewhere. A few people grumbled but they didn't say exactly why?
So I'll ask you — which truck would YOU take out on a long run?
👉 Read it,tell me what you think? 🧐😎 www.smart-trucking.com/peterbilt-379-vs-freightlin…
