    The day I turned twenty one years old, I started a job driving one of these with a co-driver, from Minneapolis MN to the east coast. The route was between Boston and Baltimore. These trucks were, in my humble opinion, the worst pieces of crap that existed at the time. I think they were known as Transtar trash cans. They would shake apart with the screws that held them together inside them backing out and dropping parts of the interior on you. The sleeper was too short. You would have your head touching one end and you feet touching the other. I was supposed to sleep while the other guy drove it down the road. I lasted nine months until I was fired for being crabby to the customers. The guys that took over for me, drove it down a mountainside somewhere in NY.

      I put on several hundred thousands of miles on some of those, they were junk but cheap. After about 2 million miles on cab overs, I was glad to get out of those rough riding junk . Doesn't Matter what it was, International, Freightliner , Pete, KW, Ford or GMC. One thing I will say, I drove a 77 Ford and GMC they both had better heaters and A/C than the others of 1977 year models.

      I drove a transstar for years it had a 350 Cummins in it and you are correct on EVERY point you hit on, the fun part was for relaxation trying to find where all the screws on the floor after that day of driving go and try to get them all in place! The good old days?

      Good old days? Well, they weren't real fun but I made a good living, in retrospect, they weren't bad. I retired in January of 22 the last 2 years were the worst for me. I had to deal with some really bad truck brokers. I was just glad to get away from the non sense.
      I hope you are having a good time if you're still driving. Stay safe and well

      Hello to you who are reading, how are you?
      I have a Word for you.
      I want to tell you: There is a God who loves you and wants to save you.
      He already proved his love for you when Jesus died on the cross.
      This GOD is Love, He is Merciful, He is Good, but also a Holy and Just God.
      HE has a law, and we cannot obey it, we disobey it and sin, sin is like a crime before God, our sins bring eternal damnation upon us, so we are not innocent before God.
      But even so, there is hope for us, there is forgiveness for us, because God sent his Son Jesus Christ to this earth, he was born of a woman, he was born under the law of God, he fulfilled all the law, thus being perfect, and being here, he did good to all and healed those oppressed by the devil, he performed miracles, signs and wonders, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the lame walked and the dead rose again, because God was with him.
      Jesus was a man who stretched out his hands to the fallen and did not step on them. Jesus came to save and seek what was lost. But HE was rejected, offended and condemned to death and death on a cross, but that's where God shows his love for us, in that Christ died on the cross for our sins, HE died for us, it was an exchange, HE suffered the condemnation in our place, and after three days God raised his Son Jesus Christ from the dead, because death could not stop him, because in him there was no sin.
      He defeated death and today we have hope, God now announces repentance to all men.
      JESUS ​​CHRIST is the Judge who will judge the living and the dead, what GOD is now announcing to all people is repentance.
      Repent of your sins, turn from your sins, and believe in JESUS ​​CHRIST, your sins will be forgiven and you will be saved.

    Bruce, this truck brings back some memories to me. My dad ran trucks here in Australia (but not International ) and had a driver named Robert Winwood who would later drive one of these for Knights fuel haulage. One of these trucks is featured in the film Mad Max near the end. His truck was powered by an NTC 335 Cummins. The one in yours looks like it is an NTA series as it has an air intercooler on the block. Good luck with it. They were a really good reliable truck.

      é uma baita de um trabalho.
      Tenho uma Palavra para você.
      Quero te dizer: Existe um Deus que ama você e quer salva-lo.
      Ele já provou seu amor por você, quando Jesus morreu na cruz.
      Este DEUS é Amor, é Misericordioso, é Bom, mas também um Deus Santo e Justo.
      ELE tem uma lei, e nós não podemos obedecer, nós a desobedecemos e pecamos, o pecado é como um crime diante de Deus, nossos pecados trazem condenação eterna sobre nós, então não somos inocentes diante de Deus.
      Mas mesmo assim, há esperança para nós, há perdão para nós, porque Deus enviou seu Filho Jesus Cristo a esta terra, ele nasceu de uma mulher, ele nasceu sob a lei de Deus, ele cumpriu toda a lei, assim sendo perfeito, e estando aqui, fez o bem a todos e curou os oprimidos do diabo, fez milagres, sinais e prodígios, os cegos viram, os surdos ouviram, os mudos falaram, os coxos andaram e os mortos ressuscitaram, porque Deus estava com ele.
      Jesus era um homem que estendia as mãos aos caídos e não os pisava. Jesus veio para salvar e buscar o que estava perdido. Mas ELE foi rejeitado, ofendido e condenado à morte e morte de cruz, mas é aí que Deus mostra seu amor por nós, em que Cristo morreu na cruz pelos nossos pecados, ELE morreu por nós, foi uma troca, ELE sofreu a condenação em nosso lugar, e depois de três dias Deus ressuscitou seu Filho Jesus Cristo dentre os mortos, porque a morte não podia detê-lo, porque nele não havia pecado.
      Ele derrotou a morte e hoje temos esperança, Deus agora anuncia arrependimento a todos os homens.
      JESUS CRISTO é o Juiz que julgará os vivos e os mortos, o que DEUS agora está anunciando a todas as pessoas é o arrependimento.
      Arrependa-se dos seus pecados, abandone seus pecados, e Creia em JESUS CRISTO, Seus pecados serão perdoados e você será salvo.

      We started one that sat for over 35 years and I drove it from that location to the new owners home about 5 miles away it rode like hell from the flat spots on the tires and they still run it as a yard truck it was a 69 international transtar similar to the one here I believe the one in the video is around a 74 to 79

    I certainly hope that grand old truck doesn't get scrapped. I always thought how cool it would be to take one of those old Trans Star cabs and put it on a newer chassis with an ISX Cummins/13spd and all the new style trimmings trucks have today. I know it would take a ton of time and a pile of cash but the outcome would definitely be a one-off classic of epic style.

      How selfish do you have to be to do that? Kind of answers itself, I guess. It's sort of akin to saying you love your wife, but then threaten to lock her in a basement and set her on fire if you even _suspect_ she might not love you back.

    parked up the year after I passed my 4 wheeler driving test. trucking here in the UK probably went down hill in the late 70's to early 80''s, then the doomsday came in from about 86 - 91 with a lot of companies calling in the creditors, which killed off a lot of small trucking companies due to the freight being moved but the shipping was paid a month behind with their bills. then if that didn't kill off trucking then the introduction to 24 hour shopping in the late 90's did, as now can't even drive anywhere without seeing a lot of car traffic in the early hours of the morning which was the best time to move freight without idiot car drivers.
