That intro gets me pumped up every time 👍
I recall rather recently he honked for me while on US-23. Mr. Davis, if you’re reading this, thanks for blowing the horn!
33 years running one truck. Simply amazing
This driver has the best sounding radio you have interviewed, PERIOD!!
I think you may be right
Love the old timers. So much respect for them.
I met this gentleman personally today at a shipper and he is genuinely a great guy. We talk for about a hour and I considered it a honor to meet him. I even got a chance to show him a flatbed truck I learned. Keep on trucking mr davis. Hope to see you again. Keep on trucking sir. Be safe heading back to W.Va
His explanation of the troubles with ELDS is spot on. The government needs to seriously consider the driver's input.
Sadly it won't happen
The government thinks that we are all a bunch of idiots who obviously can't be trusted to do our jobs.
The old days of trucking were the best, I rode a many a mile with my Pops as a kid before I got behind the wheel, & I've enjoyed every minute I spent in a truck.
I've watched this 4 times in the last two days. I absolutely love this Rig. Maybe one day I can get one to build like it, or maybe even buy this one off of Mr. Davis and be the next steward of this beautiful truck.
Mr Davis should be the president of trucking . I agree with what he said .
Good story everything he is say is so true. I respect and admire the old school truck drivers.
So cool to see Bob in one of your vids Chris!!!! Honored that I got to meet him for a bit at New England Truckstop last summer. My friends and I run old trucks like that to carry on that old school tradition and work ethic. Keep up the great videos!
I’ve seen this truck before and it was just so nice to be riding side that truck for awhile just looking at the sweet old looking rig 👌🏽👍🏽
Love listening to these old time truckers. Wish trucking was more like it used to be back in those days.
Seen this driver this morning in Grinnell Kansas. Knew I recognized this truck. Pretty cool guy to chat with. 👍🏾
Love seeing the oldies still running the road. I'm only forty, but all the trucks I've driven were and currently are as old as I am. Love what you do chris keep up the good work.
That's a beautiful K-Whopper, it's a blumin' shame they don't make them like that anymore!
I really enjoy watching your interviews you are a good man Chris keep up the good fight
Wow now that's awesome!! That truck is Beautiful 😲! And good ol WV boy yes sir!! Rep us well I must say thank you Mr Davis!!
Amazing truck, amazing driver/driving! 😀🏆🏆👍
If DOT would change one rule ELD would work fine in my opinion just change it so I can stop the clock. If I'm at a loading dock for 3-4 hours or the highway is shut down or even to take a hour power nap I should be able to stop the clock so I don't lose any driving time for the day
megapeterbilt1 AFREAKINMAN!!!!!! Dang at the times I've been held up 4 hrs or more at a shipper. Should be able to "clock out" just like any other job. ELD has a place in trucking, just needs to be more fair to the drivers. Imo, that's the dumbest rule in trucking. And, these shippers and receivers art to be made to pay you the driver atter 1 hr of detention. I ain't never delivered to any place that ain't got enough lumpers to eat a fully loaded trailer in less than an hr.
It's not the ELD. It's the hours of service that would need changed.
He speaks a lot of wisdom. I myself miss being able to stop and relax take a nap do whatever while waiting for rush hour traffic to settle down. Now drivers are forced into sitting in that traffic on ELD.
Trucking has changed but thank god that truck still rolls rock steady!!
So much awesomeness back 2 back!!! I can’t handle it 😎 @bigrigvideos
Straight up iconic piece of timeless classic Americana cool!!!😎👍👍👍😎
Good one. Miss the old days. Good times.
The last part of the video at 15:37 when the rig fades off to left....Priceless👍🔥
That man spoke the truth... Cheers to you sir and Chris, for the awesome interview
WOW !! Love that truck. Now that's a truck you don't see very often . I would like to see the inside. Great interview. Thx.
Good ole boy from West Virginia.
Just realized that you hit 100K subs. Congrats!!! Keep up the great work. Love the vids.
This man is 100 percent correct. Truck stops are always over packed and so is the shoulder of the road.
I love these interviews please keep it up guys!
The 10 HR mandatory Off Duty reset clock has killed more motorists than any other HOS rule.
Gorgeous rig 😍
One of my favorites, the sad thing is that those implementing these regulations happily sit behind a desk and don’t even have a cdl.
Thank GOD someone finally realized not everyone is the same with the same work habits
I got the opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Davis this morning in West Branch Michigan
Dam this truck is beautiful!
Gah-dayum what a gorgeous KW
That is a good looking truck..
I'm a fan of the big sleepers. It would've been nice to see his set-up. Great conversation.
I.love these videos for two reasons one the trucks featured are really cool and they are fascinating so yeah I subscribed to this channel
Beautiful old school KW
The driver is the best manager of his time in his truck...not an eld.
This is a beautiful truck my favorite brand of truck
Great video again.. I love these.
That truck is badass
hey bud you should come out to Idaho and interview some loggers
I love your videos, keep up the fine work sir.
West Virginia represented
Mr. Davis is exactly right, the ELD takes the driver decisions which are superior to computer out of the equation, assuming he/she is mature. Professionals know when they need a break, and when they can drive...
beautiful truck...
Talking about Mom and Pop places I can't remember if it was in Virginia or Maryland on 301 i think. Campbell's. Remember stopping there as a kid with dad
God Bless you brother beautiful Truck
Hands down good video, and you are so right about the change thing and how their were small diners every where, more places to park and see less trucks on the road, and cars, and that everyone was your friend on the road, now a days no one will stop to help, and yes so true, on the elog cant stop anywhere to take an hour power nap etc, take for instance, me and my father had the shims break on are lowboy and the shims got jammed solid so we were like a sittin duck at are pick up zone already loaded with a garbage truck on, we got their at 9am to load and left their at like 3:30pm count of the shims breaking, and only had 4 hours of driving left, we were in Cambridge Ontario and would have made it to Montreal so about 3 quaters home because from where im at its a full 12 and a half hour trip to montreal if we didn't lose out on so many hours just from being down, hands down this elog crap needs to come to an end, it's hurting every driver out their and all the company's, in the world, I'd give the person a weak lickin (punch) across the face to who ever created this non sense shit it needs to stop because it's useless, my toy truck at home would be more useful then this crap for crying out loud and that's not a joke either
Put this guy in charge
A lot great trucks out there
Beautiful kenworth
Very cool truck
Chris want to thank you for the rolling interview with Bobby Laws he and I are fb friends
My personal preference but this is THE best truck i've seen on the show. I also love the the topic at hand, E logs is an embarrassment to the "free enterprise" that America was founded upon. I feel all sectors of the industry suffer from the mandate but more than anything the Drivers do....and more than that in my honest opinion...FLATBED Drivers take the biggest hit...to spend so much time doing manual labor and only be paid for tarping and driving is an injustice...not to mention so many shippers and receivers burning a drivers clock out while not paying detention...and carriers not enforcing it on their customers to stay in "good graces"....the customers enforcing no parking rules on their property put alot of drivers at risk of tickets and fines when they run out of time and have to drive away for parking.
St. Vick yeah that’s one thing I hate is companies will get on our asses about staying within your hours and not being in violation but as a flatbedder if you’re at a shipper/receiver and you get there within your hours and end up waiting then your out of hours and still have to get loaded/unloaded and companies don’t care about that
This one is a Gem 💎 33 yes one truck
Nice Professional from West Virginia
What mic/cb does he have in that W9? Sounded so crisp!
Got to live those old a model kw's
Nice ride
Sharp old KW!!
tyler bowers I hate the word "old". Let's say " Sharp VINTAGE KW9A" LOL!
Great video!
Its clean💯💯💯
Took a lot of naps in Gary;)
Belo caminhão, muito conservado é um clássico kenworth.
OG triple OG
Im not a driver but I have a real good friend that does drive a truck and from what I have seen been in the truck with him the E log is making driver's stop on the shoulder of the road and ramps to rest because the truck stop's are full and so are the rest areas here in Illinois witch makes it not safe for the driver or anyone else driving because they either have to move over or watch to see if a truck is leaving from a pot on a ramp not safe at all for no one
You know guis the things will just be as shitty as we have here in Europe.Nobody give a damn if you have your driving time or rest time screwed,the only thing the police want is to pass you a ticket.No excuzes are admitted and those tickets are havy sometimes.They make a good things though by forcing companies to pay for hour/day wage, well,no kilometers anymore.Bosses are so screwed by that but they,and a lot of the cliens too b.t.w, had swallowed the pill,so when they wanted the delivery to be in time they talk to the driver first to know if he has a possibility to get the job done only by LEGAL way.And thei introduced "points" to your driver licence,12 for two years,and if you have some serious violation you start to loose them too.When,if,you get the limit-adios el carnet,you loose your CDL.So,the good thing for us,we can officially send the bosses/clients to the jorney to far-far-away)))if we can't our job in the legal way. All the best.Greatings from Portugal!✋
What! 4 millions miles and counting!!!
don't know if they make them like that anymore.looking real new after 4mill. miles.
Chris look up Ira Forbes on u-tube and look at his zombie apocalypses freightliner
Wicked intent 🤘🤘🤘
Love the old girl.
Concerning ELD's he's addressing the hours of service. Not the ELD itself.
This w900 is the shisnit.....one of a kind
Funny pronunciation. It's like they sing songs there -)
In regards to eld The government wants robots. That’s my opinion. Lol. 😂
Yup, make it so hard to follow the rules that everybody will just switch to self driving trucks.
My question is ? Does the fucking government follows any rule..im sure they dont
More like government robots controlled by industry titans want robots.....
Great w9a
Ermosos camiones
✋👍👍👍
Was gonna buy a new truck until the E log became law.
Whats the name of the intro song?
The Super Clone Last of the Cowboys by Tony Justice on his new album Stars Stripes and White Lines available at Petro and most major fuel stops
To the four dislikes!!!... You all probably would not know how to drive that truck!!!
And eld forces the driver to do nothing. That driver still is able to stop for that nap on the other side of Atlanta. It's up to you if you work for peanuts or not.
I completely agree with the eld. Its a political eyeball
I hope the government is hearing what he is saying they mess everything up
This driver sounds like Gene Tracey
At what point do electronic logs FORCE you to drive? If your tired STOP DRIVING!!! Electronic logs have nothing to do with how a person drives. Its based off of when you pickup and deliver. Electronic logs help the driver. 7 minutes on paper is 15 minutes! 7 minutes on electronic is 7 minutes! But, lets except what the problem really is... YOU CANT CHEAT ON IT
J Breez Trucking
The trucks sleeper looks good but really don't like the design!
it looks good its from the good old days
Then go look at a volvol shit head
John Andrew your trying to take the piss out of my English and you can't even fucking write it properly, fucking idiot
John Andrew why don't you just a fucking personality

Nice truck but F that flag.
Get an education. This old timer is everything that flag ACTUALLY stands for!!
If a black man can happily interview and film it, that's all you need to know. Dont instantly get your mindset off the fuel tank flags. You dont know anything about this man. Dont be so quick to judge. It's the same premise of racism, dont judge. Ain't like he got a swastika on there
That flag represents the people who freed slaves!
