I love these Antique truck shows. I'm 79 and started driving in 1960 when I was 16. I started out delivering produce to Great Scott Markets. Then I got a job delivering beef for Eastern Beef Company. In 1965, at age 21, I got into the Teamsters Union and started driving for different companies, Roadway, Adley Express (purchased by Yellow in 1977), CF, Associated, Interstate, Spector, Rand, Hemmingway, etc out of the union hall. I landed a full-time job in 1966 with Wooster Express and worked there for 5 years. In 1971 I left there and made the list at Lombard Bros. until things slowed down. In 1972, I made the list at Smith's Transfer Corp./ARA Services until 1988, when American Freight shut them down. I then went to work driving an R-Model trailer end dump and DM690 Mack's. I finally retired in 1998 because of my health. These old trucks bring back many memories. Thank you.
As always, you did a great job on the video. Perhaps I will have the opportunity to meet you at the May 18 show there in Foxboro. Keep up the good work, Mike. 😊
Wow that's some of the most prestine collection of beautiful old iron I've seen! What an amazing collection of macks right through the years. Thanks so much for showing us.
Thanx Mike...good coverage. If you happen to run into Bob Greene in the future...tell him I still owe him for a parking ticket, from 1988...back when I drove for him. His trucks were red back then. His shop was on Lincoln St in Alston. He may not remember it, but tell him anyway...lol
I was doing some work in that industrial park few years and Greene’s mechanic gave me a tour of the shop amazing collection. Last summer we installed the gas line to the new building they said he was going to be keeping stuff there too.
Carbide lamps on the old Mack. A couple of rocks of carbide and a small water chamber that drips water on the carbide and you get acetylene gas that they light for night time. Also used smaller ones for bicycles.
Cool thing is Greene and D Rounds had scale models commissioned of there Superliners a company called heavy haul replicas produced them and they are for sale now in limited numbers
Hey Mike back in the 80s this Contruction CO in Bristol CT they had a few older Macks R I think and they had pinstripe also I think the name was Mistrot. They were yellow.
That Studebaker tank wagon was for washing streets down when people were still riding horses in cities there was a bar across the back that would spray water on the streets
I love that idea of signing one’s name on the firewall. Great idea and some great conversations will come out of that when lads are hanging round the shop with the hood open.
@@TheBostonTrucker don’t underestimate the impact you have had on the trucking community. I have sent your videos to lots of lads and ladies with no interest in trucking and they are now making annual treks to truck shows. You show people an honest view of what it’s like for a real driver in todays world with old school values. I grew up around trucks as a young lad in Ireland surrounded by real men talking trucks and life and general and in doing so imparting valuable knowledge to myself and other young lads that we still carry with us today. I bring my son to the yard on Saturdays after his Karate to wash the truck and trailer and he goes in the shop to hang out with the mechanics and watches them at work. When we are done he backs up my W9 and he is only 9 but I believe that if you give them responsibility at a young age it will stand to them later on in life. I don’t look at you as a celebrity Mike but as someone I would get in my car tonight and drive out to the Mass Pike to give you a hand if you were broke own. I know I am not the only one who watches you that thinks like that. Safe travels my friend and I will make an effort this year to meet you at one of the New England shows.
Those old Mack trucks are awesome, they definitely don't make them like that anymore. Great video as always. Stay safe, and have a great week.

Couldn't agree more!

Will do. 😉
The levers on the real old trucks, that for ignition timing. Sometimes, like on model T fords. The throttle was also on the wheel,not on the floor.
Oh okay yeah it's Greek to me
Old Harleys, too

Mike, The gray and black RD tractor in Dan Rounds yard came out of Bergen County NJ.
Oh cool I was wondering where it was from
The 717 is huge. Lititz is in the northeast part of it
That was pretty dang cool. Thanks for takin us along!
What a nice surprise for middle of the week! Thank you Mike!
Awesome piece of history in those old trucks for sure.
Carbide lamps on the old Mack. A couple of rocks of carbide and a small water chamber that drips water on the carbide and you get acetylene gas that they light for night time. Also used smaller ones for bicycles.
Dude you guys out East got the best trucks!
Absolutely 💯
Cool thing is Greene and D Rounds had scale models commissioned of there Superliners a company called heavy haul replicas produced them and they are for sale now in limited numbers

Hey Mike back in the 80s this Contruction CO in Bristol CT they had a few older Macks R I think and they had pinstripe also I think the name was Mistrot. They were yellow.
All those Superliners are great to still see in use.
Another Great video Mike. Thank You 👍
You bet, thank you
You would been just as hooked as you are today. I started on a 68 Brockway and was hooked with that. Haa
Look into Nelson Freightways they had a large amount of those C model Macks
That Studebaker tank wagon was for washing streets down when people were still riding horses in cities there was a bar across the back that would spray water on the streets
Very interesting
Mack Bs good to see em restored.
I believe the corrugated fenders helped to keep dirt, mud, and snow from sticking to the fenders.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for the visit
The B-83 B-81 love them and I to watch from N.C. as well
I love that idea of signing one’s name on the firewall. Great idea and some great conversations will come out of that when lads are hanging round the shop with the hood open.
Except the value of the truck went down when I signed it. 🤦😁💯

Mike so cool that you got to autograph his truck..are you going to autograph your new truck also?
That was a lot of fun!
Greenes R Model and Superliner are outstanding
No doubt
First class family and company
All the way!
Now that your doing autographs you need to legally change your name to Boston Trucker like the Ultimate Warrior did 😂
❤❤❤❤❤ good videos, I love looking at them Australia, you have a big following over here?
Thank you so much mate I appreciate your support, spread the word! 💯☺️
Nashua Corp. , Nashua NH, I the 60’s early 70’s ran a fleet of C model Macks
I want an autograph too #legend 👍
Yeah sure 😁
Mike, ask Sosa if he has a 1693 in his KW , sounds like one
Super💯video
That’s a great looking old Super Dog I’m thinking about joining the ATHS Metro Jersey Chapter
Awesome !!!
Thanks!!
They only made the C model 3 years. 63 to 65 I was lucky enough to drive one for a few months back in 75
Corrugated fenders look like basement window wells
Mike you didn't say anything about the chain drive truck.
See you at Texas Motor Speedway
Absolutely 😁💯
I was to lazy to make the 55 minute drive down, I should have hitched a ride with Dennis lol
Should have, everyone was talking about you the whole time. 😁💯
Greene is getting to be like Takaberry
Collecting a little bit of everything. LOL 🤣 Must be nice to have lots of money to do that . .
He's got a long way to go but two meticulous collectors who love trucks more than most people.
Mr.ward son trained me at tmc .
That's pretty cool 💯
No def here!😂
Should’ve took my ford L900
Bring it to the Bolton show
Will you be up at the swap meet at the Brooklyn fair grounds on Saturday?
