Awhile back someone posted a flat awesome video of vintage semi trucks rollin down the highway. I have searched to no avail. Does someone remember what I am talkin about?
 
Wish I could help you Rob. Was it a YouTube video by any chance?
 
I think it was. I have searched there, too.
 
I don't know if I originated the thread but I think it was me that posted one where they were hauling an antique train on vintage semi's. There's a BUNCH of that on the "You"

Wow...this made me cry! I started driving when I was 16. 60 now and I miss those old days!
 
Logging in WA state

You guys understand why loggers can make those tight switchbacks on hills? It's because of the "reach" at the rear of the tractor, steers the trailer wheels to the outside of the turn
