freightliner cabovers

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porters shout Happy 2024🇺🇸 Cabovers Rule! I come from a trucking family & so enjoy the old trucks & cars! Cabovers have a special place in my heart. That mainly comes from dad’s 69 K100. He started Truckin in the 1930s! Thanks for sharing these pics! Great stuff! Blessings. 🥰🤩✌️

These bring back memories, mostly how much I hated those rough riding things, more than once I put over 1,000 miles on one in 24 hours and when I got out of the truck. My back hurt for another 24 hours. I do have to admit I did make a good living.
To be fair, all cab overs were rough riding not just Freightliner. International, GMC, Pete, KW, Marmon, Ford . One thing about the GMC, and Ford had the best heaters of them all. The newer ones from 1970 and up the older ones were about the same as the others cold. Would keep from freezing not real comfortable like today's trucks

I was driving one like this Mack! no AC! no power steering ! no phone! no computer! no bullshit!

Hello and 👍 from Russia

[@kevinrichards3288]

Back in the day when the length limit here in the USA was shorter, cabovers were the king of the roads & whenever anyone heard anyone say the word "semi", a cabover was the first thing they thought of. But when the length limit increased, the number of cabovers decreased & conventional cabs took their places. Today the USA is one out of very few countries they no longer sell cabovers in anymore.

[@Southlander1000]

Wow. Someone's got Freightliner Fever! Some real purdy rigs in this vid.

[@Axle69e]

Brings me back to my days of driving truck & blasting this song going down I-70

I love the cabovers there American old school trucking no matter what people say or think they made America they always will be American truck my dad drove cabovers the style the look it what made America great in the trucking industry

[@mikewasfaret9563]

put many miles on in one of these. Get nostalgic, but then I remember having to wear insulated coveralls and boots in the winter .

[@jimhayden5798]

Yep... Drove a '64 Emeryville. I remember wrapping a moving blanket around my legs. More frost inside the cab, than out.😁

[@bertgrau3934]

Never drove an Emeryville, but the others were as bad crackerbox GMC, and others

[@argerinejordan9152]

My dad drove a cabover. Thanks for the video. Memories😀

[@darrylpruett1099]

Cool

[@gnrsamboy]

finally some good music on a truck vid. freightliners used to be a real cool truck.

[@popacap21]

cabovers have always been my favorite style of truck

[@reignhubble9713]

Nice dude

[@reignhubble9713]

I love cabovers to

[@lynlewis8606]

Same love them

[@kevinrichards3288]

@TNOutdoorsGuy same here, not many cabovers are left here in the USA nowadays.

[@bertgrau3934]

If you put over 2 million miles on those you might have a different opinion. Rough riding, and hard to get into and out of. Being young that part wasn't too bad, now not so easy. I'm 65, and retired after 44 years of driving.

[@the.porter.productions]

These cabovers are ROCKIN ! Cabovers rule! 🥰 These rigs had style!

[@stanleybaker3400]

Freightliner fever rock on

[@jimhayden5798]

Just remember what they say: If there's ever a wreck, you'll be the first one there...😁

[@markarmstrong3394]

Thank you !

[@highwayman2008]

Great video thanks

[@the.porter.productions]

Looking at this video again...really enjoyable!

[@falcondriver100]

Need to bring them back to American roads.

[@darrylpruett1099]

I hear that my inners feel it

[@kevinrichards3288]

falcondriver100 I agree, I've always liked those cabover semis because they were easier to turn in, park, & get around obsticles while backing up long trailers into loading docks than the other kind with the engines mounted in the fronts of the cabs.

[@ThePjweezy]

@1972modd what are you talking about and its peterbilt not peterbuilt

[@DNKStore]

Thanks for the cool vid, obviously you get it unlike some of the clueless commenters on here!

[@flights47]

[@JK-uy8yi]

Oh man that truck at 2:21. Looks like it could be roomy on the inside but those mirrors are so tiny. Not to mention the rest of it....

[@user-uj2lb8yx4g]

👍👍👍

nices trucks

[@Roadmasterism]

Trucks are nice but truckers failed to band together now the shippers have them all begging for a load at the cheapest pay. The fast food workers stick together better than drivers they are demanding $15/hr. If you are an OTR trucker if you count all of the hours on a truck either sleeping or working they actually get paid $4/hour. They are better off to go to a local mall get 2 jobs work all day everyday and make more money than they do on a truck being going form the family all that time. Atleast they would be home at night and they could get a shower 2x a day. Truckers work for free.

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

YOU SAID IT MAN!!
Plus It's The NUMBER ONE MOST THANKLESS AND MOST DANGEROUS JOB IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!
HIGH WIND WARNINGS And These HIGHWAY PATROLS Are YOUR WORST MORTAL ENEMIES!
And You Gotta Put Up With These TRUCKSTOP PROSTITUTES And PANHANDLERS, Who SCAM YOU DRY OUT OF YOUR MONEY! And The PROSTITUTES CAN STILL REJECT YOU EVEN WHILE TAKING YOUR MONEY TOO!!

[@darrylpruett1099]

Your right, but that's not driving, your a highwayman.

[@bertgrau9246]

Roadmaster
That was under Obama, today if you haul a load for less than. $2.75 a mile your nuts. Many times we get over $3 a mile .
As for the fast food folks, if they stick together, they will be replaced by robots.

[@garethifan1034]

Boring basic Yank trucks..just a shed on wheels, noisy cold draughty things. I much prefer European cabovers. Just look beyond all that chrome and you'll see they're waaayy better

[@diomazo]

como se llama la cancion que pasan? que grupo es?

[@Bozukoviy]

What model is that Freight' at 3:09 to 3:15 ? I love it.

[@captainmorgan1107]

Powerliner, only made for a few years. They put high horsepower diesels in them and they hauled ass. The biggest downfall was that there were hardly any parts on them that were interchangeable with the standard cabs. They were definitely sharp looking trucks.

[@drayhazel]

Good tune, don't like Frieghtliners.

[@fabi57iamracer]

hey have all the cabovers the same doors?

[@didierfaudry5174]

Génial!!!, j'aime les camions américains!!!, et certainement beaucoup plus que Biden et ses faucons ou MC-ROND et ses sbires!!!
