I think you have a unique trucking channel because not only do us non truckers learn what your day-to-day driving is like, we learn the hands-on repairs and the family life you choose to share with us. I truly thank you for the time and effort you take to do your videos for us. Be safe out there.
Steve I watch because I can relate to what you're doing; my Pappa was a "bedbug " for 40+ years, and I would ride with him during school breaks in the summers, loading and unloading household furniture.
Atlas Van lines, Republic Van Lines, North American.., were a few companies he drove for.
Papa always drove cabovers, Macks, Brockways, Freight Shakers..
In the summer of 1974 he was given a brand new K-100 to drive with a screaming Detroit 318; we hit 23 states that summer, my last summer before I went into the army for the next 24 years.
Those memories will never fade Steve, and your channel brings them back.
Papa passed away in 2014, and is now resting in that big truck stop in Heaven😢
Thank you for your service bro..
@@charlesbennett8700 you're quite welcome. Was happy to serve as both enlisted and as an officer.
@@allan9603 I also served in the Marines for 20 years, retired in 1992 as an E-7.
I like riding along, I'm a 76 year old lady and I love the sound of Orwell
I watch because I've always been fascinated by trucks (and planes, trains, ships, any large equipment. Basically the mind of a gear head). I love to drive, but I also know that doing that for a living is a different animal. This channel lets me see the road and enjoy the sound of the CAT without having to deal with all the stuff a trucker has on their plate. One other thing I realized from watching this video, Orwell needing a rest after huffing up these West Virginia hills; there's no battery out there that has enough energy to do that, so electric trucks are a pipe dream until a better battery can be invented.
Hey Steve. As a former cabover driver I enjoy the views out the window... The sound of that CAT is a definite plus . Be safe out there!!
I too love the view out the window. I drove a '96 362 with a two piece windshield. It's one of the reasons I started to watch the channel.
You covered some of my reasons for following your channel. My dad started driving trucks somewhere between 1975 and 1977 to 1981 and most of my 8th grade school year (1985/1986 (year round schedule started in July 1985). Most of the time, he drove Cab Overs. One of the main reasons that he discouraged me from following in his footsteps was to shield me from the dishonesty that still plagues the industry. My dad did mainly local work in California and mainly worked for owner independent owner operators. The living vicariously idea holds some water with me in the remembering experiences of riding with my dad. The long drives that I did with my dad mainly happened between the day my mom died and then my dad died. The cross country drives happened in December 2002 (to attend my maternal grandpa's funeral mass) and August 2003 (for one last visit with my maternal grandma about a month before she died). My grandparents lived in Harrisburg Illinois (the town where Steve delivered the skid steer to on his way to MATS 2023) and my dad and I lived in Fontana California. My grandma buried the hatchet with my dad. My grandma had a hatred for my dad over a blatant lie that she bought hook, line, and sinker from her mom in December 1972. My mom lived vicariously through me in regards to a lack of money in 1970 that prevented her from earning at least a Bachelor's Degree from her preferred University in Northern Illinois (they lived one a farm outside of Morris Illinois that was in her dad's family from a point prior to 1850 to December 1988). I worked in my chosen field for a while. After each of my parents died, I briefly pondered using my education background in a different way by getting in the industry. During the first consideration, I picked a fine time to bolster my resume doing a job that most people do prior to or during their time in college. When I married my wife (we met and married in the spring of 2005), we did alright on the three incomes. The unusual job allowed me to stay close enough to my dad over the last three years of his life when his health declined. The second time I pondered getting into trucking, both my wife's and my health started declining. Becoming my wife's caretaker both inspired me to get my health in better shape. Diabetes is no joke. My dad never took the disease seriously. It ultimately killed him at age 60 in 2010. I almost lost him a few times in 1998 before his 48th birthday. Of all the stuff that my dad went through in 1998, I only had a mild version of one of those problems when I was 46: a mild cellulitis problem in my left leg. My dad deliberately ignored his cellulitis infection in 1998 and started all of his near fatal events before his 48th birthday. I honestly don't know if I want to fly a desk again. The job I had (in my original chosen post college profession) when my mom died ended 3 weeks later when the owner of the company closed it down during the time that we had to relocate the business. In some ways, the unusual timing of a job I took to get back on my feet and resume that career ultimately inspired me to find other ways to use my education in something that would be of my actual choosing. I have marched to my own beat and haven't ever worried about telling me I am bucking what's considered to be normal.
I hope the younger commenters can learn something good from my story and somehow apply some of it to their lives. The never say never is no cliche because nothing is impossible.
I am a retired driver . I had health issues that forced me to retire so I enjoy watching you go over the roads I used to travel. I drove COE s for years and I loved a 1693 CAT.
I started driving in 1990 and majority of trucks were cabovers at the time. Drove many back then until hoods became so popular
I miss the old trucks .
Hey Steve, you asked why I keep coming back? For me, I'm a simple man: I just love listening to that Caterpillar sing. For some reason, there isn't a better sound in all the world, than listening to a finely tuned and oiled old-school diesel with it's turbo working hard, singing with the turbo whine and Jake brake.
Plus, I'm a sucker for old trucks -- especially ones nearly as old as I am!
Second, I like the commentary and informative nature of why you do what you do, and how you deal with situations on the road as you work and haul your loads. It's a good reminder of what makes America the best country in the world: Work smart, work hard, get a bit lucky, be competent at what you do, and you can build a decent life for yourself. And you represent that very, very well.
Be safe, Steve. Keep the rubber on the road, and the hammer down!
Love the sound of a diesel engine pulling a load, love those pipes, reminds me of day's from my past, those are fond memories.
I have been watching for a while now and I like that we have someone showing us trucker’s in a good light, as well as the day to day stuff we deal with on America’s roadways. I think a lot of people have forgotten what truck drivers do for this country and how important we are, because it is definitely a dying breed in some ways. Also at time’s a lot of bad press due to some very bad people that shouldn’t be driving a commercial vehicle always makes people think we are all bad but that simply is not true. You show people that we are hard working everyday people trying to make a living supporting our families and providing for our country, so thanks fellow driver for all you do. I’ll give you a shout out if I see you on the highways!!
Why I watch? Lots of reasons. I love that you keep things largely trucking. You're not vlogging your walk around the truck stop or some local amusement, it's all trucking, or mostly. I like watching that scenery go by to the sounds and sights of a great classic truck. I really respect you for working hard and doing things your own way and succeeding at it. It's just a all-around great watch, the B model in the background just makes it that bit better.
Orwell didn't do bad coming down fancy gap! Very pretty up that way. I used to drive it all the time about 10 years ago.
Interesting watching how you manage to keep the classic Orwell going, and running a business, and the realities you face doing it all. Truckers keep Americans supplied with all we need, you're the heart that keeps it all pumping in my opinion. Don't think I could do what you do, I have mad respect for the hard work you put in.
Drove from NJ to PA and back.Not one cabover in sight. Got spoiled seeing Orwell working in 2023 on YT.
Hey Steve, I've watched your channel for a while now and the reason is this. You show people that old trucks can get the job done and that you don't need a brand new one. Orwell is 39 years old going on 40. You also show the trucking industry that in order to save time and money you need to be a hands-on driver and not just a steering wheel holder. Keep doing what you are doing!!
Why I watch your videos is because I am old school. Your old school, Orwell is old school. I loved doing RGN work. I like your commitment and dedication. I like you shift gears. I like everything about your videos. They speak loudly to an old school RGN driver. My motto when I was driving, The Bigger The Better!!! I like that you actually drive your truck, it doesn’t drive you, ( nuts ) with bells and whistles and warnings. Watching this vid I was dreaming me in a 359, 425 air to air twin stick. The old school people have an air about them. I love that you tie your loads down. I like that every load has a new set of problems. Anyone can pull a dry box. I like all the different signature FSC shots on the camera’s. You talk and walk old school, and drive like I know lived and experienced. So every time you put out a video I strap my seat belt on and take a ride in the jump seat. It’s a dying comeradery . Something I miss very much.! Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.
Orwell barkin up a storm today sounding good
I wrench on rigs for a living and love old iron. Orwell puts a smile on my face. When all the new stuff is down getting Nox sensors and DEF heaters, he's just puffin away without a bother. I can't wait to see more 2 storey Ford videos🤘🤘
You've said it many times Orwell's the star of the Channel.
I could listen to that engine all day long!! You can hear the power!
Pulling oversized uphill pass brand new riggs with a fraction of the load weight. Absolute beast!
I like the truck. I started out 41 years ago in a 1967 Kenworth cabover with a 335 Cummins with a two stick 4X4 transmission hauling cows. I remember when Keen was running that truck new.
Truck you passed hauling covered lumber on the flatdeck is Avery Construction is from Sault St Marie, Ontario. My stomping grounds! Keep on trucking,
That guy in the big fancy green Pete was an a hole, playing with ya. ✌🏻
I like watching independent driver owners. I like the scenery have always loved to travel. Rode with hubby a few times over the years then he passed 10 years ago. Most of all tho I’m impressed and amazed at the driving talent. Handling and confidence in wet poor weather. Those things bother me if I drive a lot now that older. Wish was a free spirit and could live on the road.
So a bit of vicarious as well. I honestly do like it when you chat talk. A lot to offer.
Hi Steve, I watch your videos for the 1. Tour of the countryside, the scenery, watching the world and traffic go by. (especially preferred is forward facing over the cab). 2. the way your cat purrs. Sounds good. 3. Your insights on how the trucking industry is functioning. The economic impacts from the ground level viewpoint. 4. What it's like to be a truck driver. I wanted to be one when I was 14, but my talents took me in a different direction.
It s good job you ve got those flags, nobody would see you coming otherwise 😁
Do you think you'll ever replace the driver seat it looks like hell
The gone in 60 seconds clip was a nice touch. Orwell needs a "go baby go" switch.
I ENJOY WATCHING YOU, AND I MUST ADMIT SOMETHING SEEMS TO CHURN INSIDE ME WHEN IM WATCHING YOU, IM 81 YEARS OLD AND I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR OVER 50 YEARS, AND IM SO GLAD IM OFF THE ROAD. NO MORE LOG BOOKS, AND NO MORE DOT INSPECTIONS, I HATE THE ENTRANCE OF THIS ELECTRONIC LOG BOOKS, I WAS LEASED ON WITH MONFORT OF COLORADO, AND IVE DRIVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM CALIFORNIA TO PHILADELPHIA IN 3 DAYS, HAD TO TAKE TIME OFF SO LOG BOOK COULD CATCH UP TO ME. WELL STAY SAFE, ILL BE WATCHING.
I like the old iron doesn't matter cabover or conventional. Also the securement tutorials are helpful
😊 Thanks Big Man, put me to sleep, the sound of Orwell, that cat! 😮 that and it is after 4 a.m. 😅
Rain and lightning! Got to love it, ❤️ . See you next time, Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 stay safe out there.
✌🏻🧡 🇨🇦.
I watch because I like to travel, but I'm unable to these days due to disability. I never realized how important the exhaust sound is until I watched the video in that loaner truck. Way too quiet. Be safe out there Steve, and thanks for the entertaining videos.
I missed Orwells pipes when it was down .
I Like your channel because of Orwell being an old cab over. I am 29 years old and grew up watching all the nice ole trucks running down the highway. I am always watching your videos as I find the stuff you haul interesting and intriguing. plus getting to see an old truck like that still running and making $$$$$going down the road is neat to me. I am driver myself I had to take a break for personal reasons but am getting back into the industry this week. and will be starting my own channel in the coming weeks. keep up the good work and keep producing great content. I look forward to maybe running into you sometime out there. Stay safe Orwell and Protect your driver. He's awesome. Zach
Steve, I love your channel, I set in my recliner and watch the scenery go by and pretend I'm right there with you,.. when you flip the Jake brake,, up goes the sound ,,, love those pipes.... RED Mi....
I came for the truck, stay for the industry insight
I watch because I used to drive truck. Before electronic logs and Def. Used to run loose leaf logs. And drove ungroverned Freightliner
Love the exterior camera that films forward over the top of the truck. Seeing that 3406B roll a puff of coal when you get on the throttle after an up or downshift is extremely cozy. Beautiful countryside, too!
I love listening to ole Orwell 😎 he sounds damn good.. U ought to give him a good polish an put some aluminum wheels all around him 😎😎 he would look damn good
Why don’t you buy him some !
Well I found you because I like the rumble of the old diesel engines, it's probably weird but I find it a bit soothing. I stuck around for the commentary. You're the good kind of a-hole, blunt but not insulting.
Haha. That's one heck of a compliment. 😁
That’s one of my favorite rides going down 77 into NC it’s almost like flying in a plane ☺️
Like Orwell and Steve's cool attitude. Best Wishes!
Looks about the same as it did when i retired in '15. Spent 40 years chasing that white line.
The reason I watch your videos is a veriaty entertainment, the education also your videos are so we'll put together and the camera angles are great your videos are never ever boring I watch a few different trucking videos you are I must say by far my favourite its also the truck and you that goes without saying keep up your great stuff its awesome 👍👍
Hey Steve, thanks for another great video. The reason i watch is all that you mentioned, and it brings back good memories of my dad. When he used to take me on the road with him, i basically grew up in the passenger seat. He passed away in 2020
I like your travels through the different parts of the US. Also, the life of a trucker draws my curiosity. Thank you for posting your videos.
It's all of them bro, vicarious living, see the country, entertainment and it's almost like driving around with a good friend in an old truck, and these days I'm short on friends.
I really enjoy the road footage. It’s like I’m riding along.
you remind me of an old driver I meet when I thumbed coast to coast, old cab over and a driver that told ya what's on his mind. so you bring my past back to life of an old man
Man that sound gets in the blood and it stays there, I love riding these old trucks. 🐾✌️🇺🇸
Its good that Orwell has “jake brake” with all the hills you ran in the video
Orwell use to be a cressler truck that was the company keen bot cressler trucking was out of my hometown if shippensburg Pennsylvania I love all the old truck they had
Shout out from the Big Rig Becca
Living vicariously through you
Wow, you got grabbed by 2 weigh station...glad they just passed u thru.👍
Steve it's your work ethic, your determination in your talks, it's your love of older but better trucks, its the way in which you respect equipment, you brought Orwell back to life/ work you know what it can and doesn't like doing. Your just an all round good guy, you'd know you were an owner operator they way you want to give your rig a rest and to cool down all liquids.
Steve, I watch to see all the interesting loads you get and go remind me of my days on the road before my forced retirement.
i think i watch because 45 years ago i truck 48 states and you run most of the roads i ran back then, thanks for refreshing my mine from back then, yea i see some roads have never change, be safe............
Nice clip from "" Goodfellas ""! Yeah, I've been living in PA since 1997. You can take the boy outta NJ, but not NJ from the heart of the boy! No matter how old 😜 you are! Actually, I always liked starting early. 1-3:AM. Especially if it's a long ride. AKA, just a day for driving. Deliver and everything else tomorrow. Beautiful part of the country you're in at the moment. Safe travels and God bless. Me? My best years were in a COE Transtar 2 and a Frieghtshaker COE. The Frieghtliner didn't have power steering. Yeah, it's memory's and vicarious living at the moment.
Trying to catch up with your videos tonight. So why do I watch? I drove OTR in the early nineties and I miss a lot about it. There’s hundred of truck driving UA-cam videos to choose from though. I keep watching you because first and foremost, you’re a stand up guy. I like how you shoot from the hip and don’t sugar coat things. I also like that you’re a regular Joe, and I like your content. I can sort of re-live my cabover days from the 90’s vicariously through you & your content. You, Timmy Gentry and Justin from Just Truckin are pretty much who I watch. Keep up the good content brother, and stay safe!
I’d say it’s a bit of all of it Steve. I like to see the places you go and things you haul. I started watching when one of your videos showed up in my feed and you talked about Orwell and how you named him. I find the shop work educational too. I get a kick out of your sense of humor too. I keep thinking about the “I’m the manager” Karen clip on that one. Keep up the good work Steve!
Its the cool sounding cat, your commentary,the scenery, just the whole package, all well done.
I like the scenery and the sound of the pipes. The loads are cool too.
Hey Steve, watching your videos from Germany. I am interested in seeing the differences of the life of a truck driver in Europe and the US. I am also interested in old equipment like Orwell and how you keep it running, plus the now and then added historic stories about old railways, highways and industry. Thank you for what you are doing. Stay safe.
I've been to Germany, and I used to observe the trucks driving on the Autobahn passing our military convoys.
It looked like mostly big box trucks pulling a trailer ,and sometimes a Volvo or Mercedes tractor pulling 3 axle trailers.
This was over 40 years ago, so I don't know how much it's changed in Germany, equipment wise with trucking. I've been trucking for the last 36 years in the USA.
@@truthseeker2321 Yes, still the same, but a lot more trucks, its as almost all the right lanes belong to the trucks. Most of the major Autobahns have 3 lanes now, 40 years ago it was mostly 2 lanes. The usual tractor has 2 axles, except for the ones hauling heavy equipment. And we have these articulated trucks, I cannot remember seeing them in the US. Here is an example www.spedition-hoehner.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/koffer-planen-gliederzug-spedition-hoehner-1024x683.jpg
All three the learning, teaching and the true
Steve thank you .I enjoy your videos of your travels i am a retired truck drive and you make feel like i am on the road with you be safe your friend from Azle ,Tx
To answer your question., Grew up loving trucks and the life of a truck driver and wanted to be one growing up and your Chanel is unique and attractive to us truck guys being you run old school equipment and let those live vicariously through your vids
I watch your channel for both entertainment and interest. I like the in cab view the best (the others are nice too).
I also notice that you always use your turn signals. A lot of these newer drivers don’t ever signal their intentions (pet peeve). I guess everyone is supposed to be a mind reader.
Stay safe out there. Remember someone is watching (1984).
👍✌️
Glad to have you back in WV...64 can be a mess between Huntington and Charleston!!
I like watching the different loads you get and I really like watching the videos on truck maintenance. I do a lot of the work on my 2010 f250, and am try to keep my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee going as long as I can by doing my own work.
Uk viewer. Nice truck cat❤. Looks cool different camera angles, loads, locations and how the USA truck industry works. Plus Steve is a good role model driving and working the truck he rebuilt. Good work Steve.
I really enjoy your channel. It’s a good mixture of educational and entertainment. I love old trucks, Orwell is a great example of when things were built. Your also a genuine good hard working American, keep on truckin’ cheers!
Your truck maybe older but it will still be working long after these new so called trucks. I always loved Cabovers and Peterbilts are the nicest. Love the truck
I love to see the parts of the country you travel through. once thought I wanted to buy a truck and drive independent with my wife in retirement. I realized that wasn't possible with my health, after my wife passed with cancer, so finding your channel allows me to see some of that life. And also realize that it wasn't something that would have worked for us. I do love Orwell hope to see him pass trough my part of NC some day. Stay safe and keep on posting for us.
I watch for basically all the reasons you asked about. I love Orwell both as an old truck and as a cabover. I am entertained by the content. I also live vicariously, because I have to drive modern trucks with all the nasty DEF and the shitty elog.
I watch from the UK, so it is interesting to see everyday working life in another country, plus I do like to see older trucks working for a living rather than sitting about looking too shiny.
Always loved cabover trucks, plus you seem like a cool but hardworking guy.
Reminds me of driving the old cabovers when they were new.
Yep my father had a brand new black one loaded back then
Paper logs makes trip planning so much better! You can do what you need to do without worries of exact timing! Great job, Steve!
I watch because I love Cabovers, but when I was a teen we use to travel a lot, I been as far west as California, I been as far north as Missouri, and I been as far east as Florida, but my favorite state is Colorado, I love that state, Louisiana is ok, but it's no Colorado, lol.
Hi Steve. I watch because it is a real working channel and you use an old truck for the job.
All the best.
Yeah this is Larry Walker from St Louis then I really love your show I love your your truck or well keep the good work going on my brother happy trucking to you
That was so funny with the green peterbilt😊👍
I watch your videos because you have great camera views, you speak well and your truck is cool as hell💪
64 through Virginia and W Virginia is gorgeous. Drove it last week.
It's been many years but have you ever stopped at the 76 Truck Stop they called it the Paul Bunyan Eatery
I love Orwell. Also, i enjoy the content you put out.
What a prat in the lurid green truck at 29.00
That guy should've had a inclosed trailer for that tractor, that's a nice looking black Peterbuilt that past you Steve, that was a nice looking Green Peterbuilt,looked like they chopped the top of the cab a little bit
The best videos to me are when hauling heavy (Stryker) I like hearing the legendary 3406b work especially since he got the new stacks
Good morning, Steve! What I enjoy about your channel is:
1st. I enjoy getting a glimpse of life on the road most days. I was an OTR Owner/Op and had my life jerked from under me by a serious back injury. I sure do miss the life!
2nd. I love the cabover trucks! When I was shopping for my truck, I was actually looking for either a Freightliner Argosy or a Pete 372. I found a 372 about 75 miles from my home, but the engine, trans, and rear drive all needed major repairs, and they still wanted $15,000 for the stupid thing! I found a '99 Classic for a good price and put just a little short of a million miles on it before the back injury.
3rd. You have awesome content! Little to no fluff, just good content! Thank you for that!
Consolation. You run kinda close to my area fairly often. I hope to bump into you sometime out there! I'll even buy you lunch!
Thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
Another very enjoyable ride along - keep trucking
Very nice video keep them coming 😊 39:18
I love the actual trucking videos the best. It is amazing that Orwell is still doing the work any other truck is doing. Very reliable at the age it is.
Turbo sounds good on that cat when it completely spools all the way up 😀
Man Steve, you sure beat the s**t out of that clutch when taking off. I see a clutch job in the future. Lol
I like the old Peterbilt cab over ! My name is Sam from Indiana and been driving for 34 years! I also heard on Steve Sommers Overnight Drive, and old 700 WLW.
Great question to ask us. I personally like you Steve. When you chat with us, even though you're just talking to a camera! Joining you for a ride-a-long in a cabover is a true bonus. I have definitely learned a ton from you, and you have my full respect. You explain things well too. It doesn't go unnoticed. Love all the extras you put into your videos and all the camera angles. It sets your channel apart from others for sure. Don't forget to add that other bracket on your left exhaust pipe I believe, maybe both? I forget now, damn. Definitely fill up on that blinker fluid! 😎 Catch up with you on your next one.
I like how not only that you drive your own semi,but you also work on it and have a love for it. My son Rylan and I look forward to your videos and love the sound of Orwell rolling down the road.
Keep on attracting and be safe and be careful.
