A.C. seems like a man of his word and a damn solid set of gentlemen to work for. You are a lucky man Mike, to have people that value and reward your work ethic and commitment to the company is almost a thing of the past.
I'm very lucky to work with such a great family!
That whole family seems like a stand-up crew. Love the attitude and equipment.
That is a unique job you have Mike like myself you came from freight and you know how crappy those big freight carriers are you would never get the opportunity to help spec out a new Semi Tractor that is so rare Cum Loudi !!
My dad told me when I was younger that the swan on the hood mean you finally paid the truck off and fully own it
He's right.
My wife's grandparents started that shop. Top notch😎
That's really cool!
Who ever is going to get your truck your driving now is going to be almost as lucky as you in getting the new one. In going through the process with you from the time you set down and ordered your new truck to the tour of the factory to getting it in and now seeing the process in getting the custom painting done to match the classic Cardillo paint scheme. Which I really like a lot because it is old school at it's finest. My opinion when trucks had character. Hopefully you will take us along to see the custom pin stripping done as well. Mike you are one lucky guy to have a company that has not only recognized how great of an employee you are but to present you with a brand new truck as well. Most companies in my opinion could care less. Have you ever heard of a company that was out of Eddystone, Pa. named Robbins? The owner was just like your companies owner and would go out of his way to make the driver super happy with his truck like you boss does. My brother drove for Robbins for many years (mid 70's through mid 90's) when I was very young he started with them and I would go out with him all the time. Robbins had the blue and white 1979, 359 Peterbilt that was in Smokey and the Bandit part 2 in the draw bridge scene. Which was my brothers truck at the time before they bought him a brand new W900 which was Robbins green and gold strips. There company colors. Sorry about the book I just wrote but can't wait to see the next step in the new truck process. Congratulations again on the beautiful new KW.
Wow Chris this meant a lot to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my process. I don't remember Robbins but I do remember Joe Klecko in your brother's big ride!
Im from Pa. Aswell I remember that old blue Peterbilt with the white stripes Robbin,s transport saw it many of times in eddystone Pa. Marcus Hook also going down 495 in Delaware! every where I saw it. I drove for Apple House Trucking out of Scranton Pa. They had the nicest truck,s on the road at one time. The owner was a old school truck driver and he would often run one of his trucks down to Fla. And back up to the northeast. A well known man throughout the country he could really order a nice KW to his liking,s! Then he would have his own garage put his Patented paint scheme, put on it! Sadly he passed away a few years ago and the company no longer exists.
Painters and tradesman that have experience and been in business a long time are hard to come by!
I know you're right!
I drive past that place every day. I saw it sitting out front, that is a beautiful truck!!
Thanks Greg
Nice new beautiful rig Man you've earned it ain't too many genuine cats around like you anymore
I appreciate that Larry thank you
YW
Love that interior...WOW 😍😍😍❣️❣️
You're lucky to get a new truck good for you. I wouldn't worry about moving the tanks two inches forward
Thank you
Awesome ride. Anthony is a Friggen riot.
Thanks Doug!
Anthony is a chip off the Ole Tony block!..Great to see him and all the going's on.....Be Safe, Carry on....Now go Jake something....God Bless...
Sure is, thanks 👍👍
You got such a cool boss! Great video and beautiful truck my friend
That's nice of you thanks
I was never a red vehicle person till I started watching your channel. I love all the red. What a beautiful truck. Good for you! Can’t wait to see what it looks like after paint then on to the next step.
Awesome! Thank you so much, stay tuned!
The new seats are more forward. We have been getting the base plate to move back even just a few inches
Good to know thanks, I was thinking they're just not broken in yet.
Is the seat against the wall already? Some seats you have bolts on the tracks you can move the seat back
Thats truck will be sharp when its done! I cant wait to see it.
Thank you Mike 😁
Center of tank red straps and ends polished
👍👍
Mike you killed it on the interah!!!!
Thanks Barry I'm happy you like it! 👍💯
Love it
Thank you
Its gonna be nice!! Can't wait to see it
Thank👋 you
“He’s got a goose on his thing too” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Mike 🎉 The truck is gonna look large I think the tank idea with the black end caps is gonna look awesome!!!! I can wait till the truck is painted 😅!!!!
Thank you Robert for trusting me and your support! 👍💯
Love the White buttons ! Old school cool !!!
Thank you for understanding that. 😁
Mike now the real fun begins LOL
Oh yeah buddy!💯
The fuel tank's really stand out against the red frame. If it were me I wouldn't paint them !
Thank you
The old truck is still a beauty!
Sure is!
@thebostontrucker you guys need to do a diecast run of the new truck and trailer, I think they would sell!
Love it 👍💯
Kinda excited to see how this new truck turns out. Best of luck Mike.
Me too!
Mike i was thinking the same thing as you and anthony i was like thats a french truck and thats a ryco you must be over the moon excited for your truck because just watching im so excited i cant wait to see the finished product so happy for you buddy
Thanks Nick I'm happy for your support!
Everyone has their opinions and it is what it is…but if that’s what YOU like…then that’s what matters! Believe me there’s WAAAYYY worse trucks out there as far as looks or mechanics goes….very nice truck Mike….can’t wait to see it finished and on the payroll!
This is very true!👍💯
What a truck wont miss this burnin down route 2
Thanks
A lot of good looking Pete's!
Hello my favorite old school singing trucker! You certainly know good looking Peterbilts!
😂😂😂😂23:07 Anthony definitely didn't want to get into the conversation about the dummy stacks. Quick change of subject back to painting the truck 😂.
That's just how he is, we're a lot alike.
@@TheBostonTruckeryou could always get it hooked up. Wouldn't take much just some flex pipe and a y joint more or less.
PS also ignore negative comments from anyone saying oh I don't like this or that cause at the end of the day it's your truck and the way you like it. They can do what they want to there's. Everyone has different tastes. Looks like a beautiful truck Mike congrats 👏
Mike got to get that other stack working nice truck
Why though?
@@TheBostonTrucker got to have it come on now
Semi casual makes a def tank that is hidden under the hood, it’s a smaller tank but it looks better because you can’t see the tank.
I see that! Thanks
A lot of different companies make the hidden def tanks in different sizes.
Fine lookin Truck there Mike . just thinking of the Kenworth legendary crushed glass . Would look good in lettering and pinstripe ,would have a different look than flake . 77 here today AZ desert .our 3 days of freezing nites are over till next winter . U are lucky to have owners that care about excellence . I could tell U about bad employer some other time .have a good one .
Thank you so much, enjoy that warm weather! I've never worked for someone id consider a bad boss but I've a few bad coworkers over the years
I like those backlight on the supreme fuel truck that’s cool that they switch colors
Yeah really cool lights
Dual revs lites are what they're called
Great video Mike. New truck looks good now it's going be awesome when finished !!
Thanks Pete for your support! Nice to talk with you this week, enjoy your home time and say hello to the misses.
@@TheBostonTrucker 👍
Badass I can’t wait to see you trucking brother
You and me both!
The interior looks awesome Mike
Legendary black fenders would pretty cool!
True it would
Still need to decide on the quarter fenders. Brunt! Dane Scott owes Anthony a cup of coffee! Anthony is a big kid! Start it up in the guy's shop! You can tell he's completely into trucks and has great pride in his trucks. Did he say "" Trucks""!?!
I like driving in the Cold when you got a good heater 😅
17:51 well that truck has a free flowing exhaust. Listen to that turbo!!
Mike a lot of the comments are saying how lucky you are. You are blessed you are not going to beat that old school Italian upbringing there is nothing that compares I miss it you picked the rite people to put your loyalty and ethics to work for. Give your Father and Mother a big hug they did a good job. can't wait to see the truck the only thing I am not liking is paint on the tanks 👍😎👍
When I was in high school, shout out to Shawsheen Vocational Technical High School in Billerica Massachusetts. My trade was autobody. I believe Rose went to the tech also. But in a good quality paint job,isn't the paint. Its what's under the paint that matters. A good custom hot rod,or truck might have thousands of man hours in body work. But the paint itself might take an hour.plus buffing to a mirror finish takes time.
You make a very good point!
That is a very nice Pete Roger 😊
😂😂😂 I like how you said you were going to bust Anthony’s balls about being late.
Then he says “ohh you’ll quit again?”
Hilarious
PS- I definitely agree about moving the tanks forward. Now is the time.
He's funny! I don't know what I was thinking. 🤦
Awesome video, Mike.....hey, your "thank you" light button is on the end of turn signal lever.....blinks lights whether they are on or off......also, push lever down to flash your headlights, when headlights are off.....it won't flash the high beams like a car will but will just turn them off/on for a sec.....you'll see what I'm talking about once ya start messing around with it 👍🏻👍🏻.... excited for you 👍🏻👍🏻....oh yea, get ya some window chops on your side windows since visors are gone.....id paint the backside of visor also....just a thought
Oh okay, yes mine now has the thank you lights on the indicator as well.
Not into the dummy stack. But I'm a one stack guy. I keep them cut short too, too many jobs where I have to get under low stuff
👍👍
Mike you might want to consider window chops for your doors being as you have no sun visor it will keep the morning sun out of your eyes. You can get chrome or have them painted they look pretty cool. Personally i would leave the DEF tank chrome but im all about the chrome myself. The truck looks awesome be glad to see the finished product 👍👍👍
I don’t like window chops. I would leave DEF cover chrome, tank’s black, ends polished ,to match the front fenders.
I'm not a chops fan, probably tint them and I'm leaving the DEF tank as is.
It'll look good when it's done.
Bob is the real deal!
Sure is 💯
Just a thought maybe some mudflaps somewhere in front of the tanks to protect the paint on the ends if you decide to paint them and pinstripe
There will be mud flaps just not sure where yet but it's a good tip. Thanks
You could add window chops to help with the lack of a sunvisor
We'll see, might tint.
Great video, love watching customization of trucks!
Glad you enjoyed!
I have all the chrome buttons in my daily driver
Shout out to New Bedford Welding Supply and the the city of Champions Brockton, home of Coe's Mobil, and The Boston Trucker.
Right on brother rubber!
The ryco truck in the back round. 🔥
Except it's not Ryco but my next video will be from Ryco.
@@TheBostonTrucker wow I definitely thought it was. French has incredible fleet of equipment. I’m local 4. I’d love to get in with them.
I really liked the red bumper on the French truck.
You don't need sun visors, that's what the big visor and window chops are for.
10-4 driver
I grew up in Middleboro, Adams always has nice trucks there
Hi Tom 👋
@@TheBostonTrucker hey Mike. I love the flat glass on your new truck. I think when i was a kid Adams used to do bulk hauling and they restored the fleet.
Sweet Ride !! You talked about carpet for truck shows. How about VCT so it's easier to keep clean. The wood steering wheel is classic, not as classic as bakelite but add a touch of class. It's not mine so it don't matter. You make it nice for you in your office Mike.
I never heard of them but I'll look them up. Thanks
Why the dummy stack? Going with exhaust underneath instead of stacks? Is that legendary paint like Imron? ""Sparkles"" in the light. That empty space on the dash needs a pyrometer . AKA exhaust temperature. Very cool and old school. If you can get one.
I love the truck but I think painting the tanks your going to regret it
Your old truck looks so nice because of all the polished aluminum and chrome I has
We shall see
Blinky light button is on the end of your signal arm (stick) left side of steering wheel
One of the pitfalls of ordering a new truck and not checking specs after the engineers get done changing things . The salesman gets notified and has to sign off on changes and should have kept you in the loop .still a very nice truck.
They kept me in the loop, I saw the plans but I'm not an architect so maybe I saw them differently.
Hai, was een interessante vlog mooi te zien wat de spuiterij allemaal kan doen, hoop dat jou truck helemaal naar jou wenswordt gespoten heb ervan genoten bedankt en tot de volgende vlog gr carel uit Nederland
Red is good, it wards off the evil eye
Hahaha
You only get a swan when the truck is paid off, supposed to mean “Free as a bird”
We'll just say it's a jailbird waiting on bail money!
White buttons,fake stack,add blue! Think you’re gonna miss the old girl !
Add blue? I'm not adding blue.
Red is my least favourite color ever…. But this truck is gonna look great once it’s done. Love the ideas!
Right on! Thank you
I personally like the interior. I see your vision with the hood. Can’t wait to see it done! So, with three new trucks is yours being being sold now?
I'm really happy to hear that. Yes, mine will be sold. Maybe.
Be cool to see shtube do all your accessories
I'd love that, I don't think my bosses would go for that but I'll definitely be running it by them.
I think it's about $800 but it allows you to place cross members where you want them , within reason because the engineering department at paccar will approve certain placement, but I can help tighten up tank spacing etc etc
I never heard of this, im intrigued but we're gonna leave it.
I think the truck scene must be completely different up there. I live in south jersey I don't ever see customized trucks. Up there everyone has a distinct look on their trucks and can be identified by color of red. Wish this culture was more prevalent here.
I'm surprised to hear that, I thought I remember seeing some nice rigs back when I worked out of Glassboro and Westampton but that was a long time ago.
Oh Mike! You are looking like my kids in the candy store! It’s just soooo hard to make a decision! Lol
It's very hard, do I go with the peanut butter cups or the Kit Kat?
@@TheBostonTruckerThats an easy one! Both! Lol
Definitely do the legendary paint that's what mine is
Not this time.
have bob paint inside stacks black .. (i'll bet youd be the only one) lol good luck ! better stock up on turbo and black smoke footage now! but new is new gotta move forward ! good work mike. and skinny jeans too!
I mentioned that to him off camera, he didn't like that idea, said it's the first thing that'll get the DOT's attention but I'll prob do it anyways. 😁👍
bob knows his s$#t something you only get by putting the hours in!! good luck on your venture! tell anthony stock up on the hoodies.
Tell Anthony to order an 18 speed Kenworth , I’ll come drive for him ! And that Pete is sweet ! Highway princesses…. Haha them fuel haulers are going to be on you now lols 😎🍺♥️
This will probably the last manual he ever buys
@@TheBostonTrucker …..😢🍺😎
Two more trucks? The plot thickens...
Yes sir, 3 new ones on total.
How did I miss the Boston Trucker coming down to where I live? Lol I’ll have to keep an eye out for the rig
Next video from Ryco 💯
Can’t wait!!! It’s a truck show every morning when they roll out see them every morning
Wright weight Scale gauge in the blank spot for tractor on trailer axles
That's what I have on my current one
paint def tank brackets red
👍👍
Please 🙏 put 0n live stacks
I love the look you guys are going for
The stacks 😢Please
my fave is legendary black cherry 🔥
Oh copy that
I ordered a brand new KWOPPER W900L in 1993 one of the first truck,s off the assembly line in Washington State. with a Black lilac Pearl paint job, had to have the back of the cab repainted after 2 months the paint never dried correctly you could take your finger nail and scrape the paint right off it in many spots. Under warranty they repainted it the 2nd time came out great. One of the nicest paint color I've ever seen. Always driver's were asking me what color is that 👍🏼
No painted tanks, to much red, and no 12 gauge stuff, no window chops, you'll thank me later. 30 thousand miles on mine now and the paint on my power divider is gone, and no skinny jeans in a kenworth either 🤣 I would like one of those hoodys lookin good buddy 👍
I'll agree to 3 out of 4 and no skinny jeans as a bonus.
U can put body panels on back of cab . Semi casual does that mike
I'm going to do that.
Paint guy was all bidness!…he didn’t know nothing about the beantown twuker!…I know you know what’s hot…but not sold on those white buttons myself…at least not yet!
Hahaha thanks! Cross your fingers 👍💯
I always thought Cardillo’s fenders were dark blue.
Black
Since you won’t have your sun visors you should do window chops for the doors
I'm not a fan of them but you're right now you got me thinking about it. 🤷
Hey Mike how about black Rino bed liner coating on the ends of the tanks for durability.
But I want them shiny
Go to grand junction colorado and get ya some really nice Kenworth mud flaps.
Oh really?
On my way!
Truck is gonna look awesome Mike! Where can I get one of those Cardillo Hoodies that AC has? Do you guys sell them?
Thank you! They don't sell merch but hopefully someday soon. Get a job here and get all the hoodies you want to wear! 💯
Great to have a boss that wants to accessorize more than the driver.Are the bottoms on the upholstery bigger on the new truck.
He's the guy who buys all the chrome that he can put on the truck!
Could you have had a slightly longer cab? This one seems so tight. In case I missed it, what brand engine and hp did you go with? What size rear drive?
What is the average life span for your truck?
Hi Mike! I'm super curious but don't want to cross the personal line regarding financials. Do I have this right in thinking Anthony Cardillo has invested company money in you and the new truck including the customizations being done to it in exchange for your 6-7 day a week commitment and performance in terms of making his successful company money? Does he do that for all his driver's or just a select few dedicated and committed tenured driver's? No matter the case, Anthony seems to be a Blessing to the industry and a 1% of the 1% of terrific Bosses to work for. Love your work and love your youtube content! Thanks for doing what you do.
We didn't have trucks or bosses like that growing up in North Quincy in the 80's.
You're not crossing any lines and that's an interesting way of putting things. I'm committed and he knows it and trust me that I'll take care of his trucks because I have a track record so that's really all it is.
It's a crying shame to pay all that money and not have it come from the factory as you EXACTLY ordered it. A definite sign of the times...
It is how I ordered it, pretty much.
I can't wait to see what the 2 new trucks are, a tractor and a triaxle? Did Anthony have his skinny jeans on? Asking for a friend!
3 new tractors all Kenworths
Anthony need any tri axle drivers!
We have one triaxle, it works a lot on the warmer months but it's a seasonal gig really.
Nice Trucking
Thanks 👍
You're Welcome
Anthony’s late because he’s putting on his skinny jeans. As for the DEF tank have it wrapped in vinyl.
He's just never been on time, it's his thing, we adjust to it but he's a great guy to work for.
i wonder how long the second stack stays a dummy,lol.
Good question
