    My father drove Class A Trucks between 1975 or 1976 & 1986. He told me that he mainly limited his work to local runs in California so that he could spend time with his wife, kids, and his parents. Based on what I have seen over the last 12- 16 months, you have matured a lot in this time frame. This observation is mostly based on the move to Tennessee to work with the people at FCR. Then you revealed a small piece of your personal life in the beginning of this specific video. If my dad was still alive, he would talk about his two kids (me (age 51 today) and my younger/only sister who is just over 7 years younger than me). He would tell you that your observation about your family members will always be applicable to the rest of your time with them in the Earthly Realm. I survived a Type-B Aortic Dissection (similar to what killed actress Lucille Ball) in February 2010. Fortunately for me, I didn't need a surgical procedure to heal the injury to the abdominal portion of this main artery (near my kidneys). My dad was there for me and my wife. He guided my wife in dealing with the hospital paperwork and my recovery after I was discharged from the University of Loma Linda Medical Center in mid February 2010.
    He continued to give me advice about my marriage through the last day at his final home in the Earthly Realm before he died during an operation to amputate a portion of his lower left leg. He told me to take my wife out to go bowling (a shared hobby for the two of us). I didn't want to leave him unattended for the duration of time that we typically spent practicing for the next week of league bowling. I told him that I was very concerned about him because I knew he was ill and I was scared for him if he suffered a fall in his home with nobody to help him. He told me that my taking the time to take my wife out of our home to do something to do something that we really like was more important to him than staying at home to watch out for him. The outing really helped my wife in the way that my dad predicted on that fateful night. When we returned home, my fears about leaving my dad unattended came to fruition. I found him on the floor next to his bed. I dialed 911 for a non-emergency assistance call to help me pick my dad up and put him in his wheelchair or bed. After they did their triage assessment, they told me that he needed to get to an Emergency Room. We sent my dad to the hospital. He died some 10-14 days later.
    That is why I tell you that your comments about your son's recent medical scare got you thinking about the importance of taking time to do things with your family and your dad IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT YOU ARE MATURING AS A MAN. I AM ONE FAN WHO IS PROUD OF YOU. We don't know when God will call our relatives, loved ones, friends, and business associates home. My dad would agree with me in telling you to cherish the time you have with your wife, kids, friends, ect...

    I’ve got 3 kids, and have been married for 13 years this November. Back in September, my wife, and my 2 boys were in a head on collision, my daughter had just been dropped off at school. My wife spent 3 weeks in hospital, still trying to recover, kidney removed, completely reconstructed ankle, and shattered arm. Will probably never be 100 percent. My oldest broke his arm damn near in half, and ankle. Youngest boy collarbone and rib. My outlook has changed since then. Less phone time, less work time. Always choose family dude. I may not have back then but I sure will now.

    Just re-watched the original Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy. The opening seen has a cab over crashing into cars in Detroit.

Its never a question to be with the school of family especially you having young kids and wife.I retired at 63 to be with my wife who has health issues and is also retired. Its like the old saying, you can buy a new car, but you cant replace your family. Time with family is worth more than gold!

The awesome thing is you get to incorporate them in to this and teach them and make them part of it. That is awesome brother. Enjoy the ride! Glad your son is OK. I know how a scare like that can turn your lives upside down.
    Keep doing what you're doing. Been here since like 10K subscribers. Block out all of the noise, people get jealous 😂

No matter what people thing Bruce in my book you're a good guy and I'm happy to be a longtime Subscriber.

    When I see that truck it reminds me of TV and movies like "Breaker Breaker", "BJ and the bear" or "Convoy". I came 77 ant the age of seveb to the US and stayed for six and a half years. Thats when I got hooked on trucks. I would love to see "Hank the cab over" roam the streets of Europe. He would gather a crowd at any stop on the Autobahn.

    Myself being in the UK, always been cab-overs, certainly as a kid with my Dad in a Volvo flatbed (Think it was an F10), with a HIAB crane on the back, delivering paving slabs and similar.
    Roll on today, used to work up at a retail complex just outside of Nottingham, with a massive B&Q (British version of Lowe's etc) next door to where I was, and myself being the head warehouseman, often used to be out back, and just watch some of the most fantastic big rigs coming in.
    We do actually get Peterbilt's in the UK (Rare though!), thanks to Paccar's UK arm, DAF UK, and I have been past the factory in Leyland, Lancashire.
    This, is a grand Lady for sure :)

Idc if it takes you a week to post a video life is life. We all thrive in different ways. Spend time with family enjoy that time we all I hope should understand. I mean if I honestly wanna know what you’re up to or how life is treating you all got to do is dive the hour dive and stop in on my way to Buc-ee’s

    Bruce, the answer is semi easy when it comes to taking time away. When you need time for you and yours. Let someone else or others record vids and what not, you can have final approval before uploading. Not every video HAS to have you. Heavy D does this on his channel. Not ever video has him, it'll often be just his crew working on stuff they have recovered and or bought.

    My grandfather the man that had me driving an 1989 international transtar cabover cummins big cam 350 with an 10 speed where he turned 10th gear around and it gave it an extra 10 15 mph he taught me how to drive in it when I was 10 years old he taught me how to drive in the front meadow of his farm in Bristol west Virginia memories I never will forget!!!!! The last truck that he died driving was an cabover peterbuilt I was only 12 when he died and I've tried to find the truck and about 25 years later I tracked it down to a truck salvage yard they tour out the engine it was a kta 450 with a 13 speed transmission and then they cut the rears out from under it they cut it off right behind the cab nothing left to buy 😢😢 I was broken hearted but life goes on, I will try and put some pictures up on here of his truck but in the meantime if you guys are going to be doing a raffle or a giveaway please let me know I could never afford to build one of these old Pete cabovers because people have priced them out of sight but I would damm sure enter one of your giveaway for it I would be so proud to drive that thing right to my grandfather grave site and show it to him!!!!!
