Roberts a mug end of, what better doing 500miles a day and being home with your family or being away for weeks at a time 😂 don't be daft, being home with family wins every single time! Companies are laughing at people like robert, bet he used to get mugged off on the daily
Hell yeah Robert is one of the good ol boys that run the roads and built this country!! Holds a full conversation while signaling at every exit and turn and never misses a beat on the old 18 speed hell you could give him an old 6x4 twin and I bet he would be the same way !! Roll on brother!!
I don't think people know how trucking used to be. I knew an old trucker who would tell stories about getting a bag of pills with his paychecks. And cops just mailing speeding tickets to the company and not even pulling you over. So I believe the 17-1800 miles a day. These dudes help build this country. Cool to see people showing appreciation.
Hes not lying i been draging trl around sence 1987 use to do west coast turns leave ga on monday in ca on wed back in ga friday home sat keep it rollin robert
Robert seems like one cool dude! I don't even drive trucks like that but I can tell he's a genuine guy with alot of years and skill behind him. Hats off to him!
Robert is a dying breed. The young guys at the yard need to talk to him and listen to him as much as possible. He’s full of knowledge and experience, I wish I had listened and talked to experienced guys more when I was coming up. I’m not in trucking, I’m in electrical line work, but it’s the same concept when learning a trade.
This guy is a dying breed! I could ride accross the country with this hard-working gentleman and listen with intrigue to every story he has to tell and I'm sure he has plenty from over 30 years of truck driving! You just dont see too many of the old-school American truckers like Robert out there anymore. Hope he is able to retire soon and enjoy the rest of his life and also reflect on all the places he has been to. He should be proud of all he has accomplished in life and this is a testament that hard work can and does pay off in the end! God bless you Robert and all of the other hard working truckers out there on road today! You are all the backbone of this great country! We all owe a major debt of gratitude to this man!
Hats off to you brother Robert. I'm a 35 year trucker and remember the good old days on the road till this day. He ran 2 log books and broke a few laws of Lord O Mighty. Just so you know, I am still trucking and refuse to drive a automatic. Still double clutch too.
Kenworth T800 sexiest truck on the road. Had the luxury of running a brand new 2022 heavy spec day cab with an 18 speed and 550 Cummins. That truck will always hold a special place in my heart lol. Was my dream truck as a kid. 63500kg loaded both ways 24 hours a day (ore from the mine and backfill back to the mine. when I left trucking it had nearly 400,000km and never had an issue with it since new.
I have NEVER seen a newer cascadia with a manual transmission. So much so, that i wouldve bet my life that they didnt exist!! This just blew my mind man i swear!
My brother and I got a brand new cascadia a couple years back. For 2 weeks we got it the bunk heater went out in -30. So yes anything can happen to a brand new truck. Negativity is not welcome anything can happen. Thanks for making us smile Robert. Your a true legend 😊
I love this dude! I'm new to the channel, but i suggest you make him a reoccuing guest on your videos. He is the definition of a trucker. His style, his swag, the way he talks. I love it! He reminds me of my grandfather, who passed away. Actually happened on the job. He was getting off his rig slipped fell, and hit his head. Turned out he had a brain aneurism, and it happened to hit him as he was climbing down off the truck. So fucking sad was only 56 and had been trucking since he was 18. The company (Dimond and Bacorn through NorthAmerican) they paid for all the funeral costs and all that. So many memories riding with him and doing overnight rides we him and my older brother. Miss him so much...
I drove from norther NH to Edgewater Florida straight through in 23.5 hours and I got lost in NJ and NY for a few hours. It was 1600 miles, so yeah. Back in the day with 2 log books, you could do all sorts of shit. God bless the truckers. They keep everyone up and running, fed, housed, clothed, and everything else.
I swear we all know a man just like Robert. Same raspy voice from the years of smoking cowboy killers, the no bs attitude and the “my work ethic is second to none” type personality gotta love him 😂
My dad has been driving truck for over 40 plus years. 1800 miles a day is very do able. He drove from eastern Pennsylvania to California and back in 5 days in a cab over mack. He also would drive from Atlanta georgia to maine in 24hours

As the firstborn of an OG truck driver Robert is a lot like my dad with all his anecdotes and over exaggerated talk 🤣 I could not hold up how the OGs do I got them “soft hands”
Don’t really hear truckers say shift gears, the ones I know take it as an insult if you know about trucking. They will tell you real truckers float 18 gears
Rob is the shit! Part of that generation I love workin with. "Stop bitchin make the money, support your family, pay your bills, spend your play money wisely."
As a driver for over 28 years I can relate to everything he said!,If this company had regional positions to be home on weekends I would apply ASAP!,due to my situation at home to help my 76 year old Mother I can't be away from home for 3 to 4 weeks at a time,other than that great channel.
0:55 I drove a uhaul for 24hr recently through rural canada with shit roads, the big rigs could clear the roads at 80, i was stuck going 5mph over some por holes. I made 1000 miles in that time.

Thank you
The thing with seeing a lot of whichever truck your driving is a real thing, but it's cause you had no mental connection to them before but when you get one you start seeing them cause you now have a reference point to compare it to! It's like you weren't looking for it before but when you get one you subconsciously start acknowledging them
Id hit i-40 7pm run from Asheville NC to Detroit at night in the 90s. no traffic and Kentucky the hillbilly state had the best roads in the country by far. Radio stations coming in fading out. Heard Dukes of hazard theme song 7 times or more. Good ole days .
I drove from the panhandle in Florida to the UP in one shot (1100 miles) at a constant 80mph in a car. Took 22 hours not including stops for gas. Done it 3 times. It’s absolutely horrible and you start to hallucinate
Legend has it Rob just celebrated his 35th birthday

Common sense should tell you 1700 miles a day is impossible. Simple math would prove it
Things were different back then especially in the 90s the whole world was like that.
Good to see people still ordering manual transmission
Hell yeah… my opinion manual transmission are better…
They can’t believe when we ask for manual! I guess most companies now order automatics only
@MerdzicTrans yes they trying to attract everyone to drive I been back in a manual for 2 years after autos for 10 years and I love shifting
@MerdzicTrans it's because of the lack of drivers
