Make sure you show or give your dad that extra love, no matter how old you are, they are always around giving their child that extra hands of theirs. I miss my father, RIP dad.

Like chuck said... Give your dad a hug for all of us that lost our dads. God bless our Dads 💕💯💪

I have to say your dad is a good man, always right there to fix the problem nice and honest man

Those Orange one's should be named Game Changer 1 and Game Changer 2!

Holy crap .50 cent a mile . Well that's just bending a guy over the barrel and breaking it off in them for that kinda pay you aren't making much . And I know you said that's where you start . But I start at that pay 10 years ago.

Due respect to last comment. No doubt you and your son love Dad! I love/miss the life/enjoyment share to me

You know you're in it when you resort to "sweet talk" and negotiating with your rig to make it home... And it's amazing how many times it works. 😋

And. I thoroughly enjoy the sound of a 12/71....

I’m a Pete guy all day long but I love these FLDs I don’t blame you for watching to keep it to yourself and I’d probably due the same

Just got my permit and Hurricane Ian just smashed my entire city up. So now I am waiting for the word on when I can start the school. I'm paying for all of this on my own too. I've always loved trucks and your videos gave me that extra motivation to actually go out and get my CDL. So thank you for that. Hopefully things get back to normal around here soon.

Tim, those kinda drivers are few and far between anymore. When I had my company I was damn fortunate to be able to hire a lot of multi platform drivers that would pull any trailer I had (RGN, Flatbed, End and side dump, etc) plus be able to operate any type of heavy machinery..

Many a driver has had to sweet talk a rig. That brought a smile to my face

Aside from Cabovers, I love those FLD Freightliners. Good old trucks.

I was always thought.. Look after the small things, and the big things will take of themselves ! Hence.. How a 50c washer can bring a monster motor to its knees.. Loving the new truck guys, It’s so good that you are keeping theses American icons rolling on down the road 🇮🇪🦅🇺🇸🚛💨

yes put a driver in it

That truck is lucky to have a new papa like you.

Wish I was younger I sure would love to drive for you your smart - kind - great family man don’t ever change love your channel ! 68 retired auto shop owner always wanted to drive a big truck - you have a great son !

Now your talking!!!! That truck is in great condition. That’s when Freightliner actually built good trucks. Love those FLD’s.

Awesome addition to your fleet..as happy as you are to watch your company grow ..great pitch at the end looking for drivers and stating your work philosophy and ethics.. continued success on your journey 😇🇺🇸🔧

Man I wish I could drive truck because I'd definitely love to drive for you. Mad respect.

In my opinion FLD is the best truck ever made. They ride good, maneuver decent, and look good.

Old Truck's beings back some good memories 10/4!!!

If it were me I'd build a bracket just behind that drier and make a shield so it won't get road splattered while driving in wet and snow.. it does help the drier last just a little longer.. also those driers are rebuildable..

An FLD with a series 60 is a direct path to profit in trucking.

Wish I had found your company when I was driving, would love to drive for you. I love trucks, love taking pride in my work and truck. I have been known to pay out of my own pocket to wash a company truck. I can tell you all are good people Tim, God bless you all.

Tim a big congratulations to you your family and the team keep it trucking and keep growing 🎉🎉🎉

Now that's one slick FLD! Between this and the cabover I'm so tempted to come over to Gentry and Sons !!

Put a drop axle on the blue FLD and floater tires up front and keep it for your heavy haul stuff with the RGN that's what I would do. Keep up the great work guys and stay blessed

Pretty good old Truck's drove one for a while back in the day only trouble I had was the Brakes would stick a little but never had any trouble with that Detroit engine .

Looks like a stock blue freightliner to me.

Keep your Pete give me that FLD with the Detroit all day long. 50 cents a mile to start is a good rate 2000 miles a week which is easy is a $1000 bucks a week you won't start anywhere for that. Getting veteran drivers will be a little tough. When I did livestock we got paid by the day $300 and that was good money.

The hardwood floor is a classy touch 👍👍

Hey Tim. Love that Freight shacker. I got my class A back in 1981 in a Ole Long Nose Freightliner. Big cam 400 Cummins with a 10 speed. Those were some good days. Keep up the good work and God Bless.

SO MANY OPTIONS TIM Geez what to choose what to choose WHAT TO CHOOSE

Don't give up on the Peterbilt it's a beautiful truck

That's was one of the first truck I learned how to drive and then my road test brings back lot's of memories

Just have a museum for all the trucks you buy. You love them all.

Hey Tim, you mentioned you had a stepdad too. Not sure but I hope your real dad is the one we see always on here. He’s such a cool pops & grandpa too! Our country needs more dads keeping their kids in check. Y’all keep up the great work 💪

I have a shit ton of miles in those FLDs and those monitors are pretty dang accurate from my experiences. 6 mpg is real close to your loaded average in one of those. That's about what I used to average. I drove for over 30 years, We "My dad" farmed a couple thousand acres in Indiana and I hauled my very first load of corn to the Gold Proof elevator in Louisville Ky on my 16th birthday. 1980. Those 60 series are without a doubt the best engine that Detroit ever made. They saved that company from bankruptcy that's a fact. I remember it well. Detroit was just about ready to go belly up after the newer Cats and Cummins came out then they released that 60 Series and everything changed. Don't run the hell out of them and keep 'em serviced and there's no reason you can't get 2 million mile out of them.

Great seeing all these videos coming so quickly,really appreciate it Timmy 👍

Loving these 3 back to back videos!

Tim, this might be long, so I’m sorry for that. But I’m riding shotgun with my dad this week because I broke my hand and the company we work for flew him out to Long Beach to get me and the truck. I’ve been watching your videos this week and yesterday he glanced over at my phone holder and asked about them argosy’s, when he saw the fld he about went crazy in this truck. When I was 10-15 and would ride with him he had an old arrow fld flat top painted the same color blue. Had stacks behind the door and same style bumper just not as tall. He started asking me questions about your trucks and for two days now he’s been trying to peak at my phone when I’m watching to see what your working on. This video is great timing because we’ve been reliving them me as a kid days (I turn 35 the day after he turns 67) this video just made me determined I gotta get this hand healed so I can track down two flds one for him and one for me so he can “semi retire” and run when he wants and we can have two nice trucks. Thanks man.

I definitely think the FLD would look super awesome with side stacks. I wish I didn’t live in Kentucky I would love to drive for you. The cab over would be my dream ride

I admire what you do I love truck's I'm retired military and I use to drive trucks never commercial wish I did now at 61 probably not a good idea but I can definitely understand being picky about drivers your business is important especially for the next generation for your family if that makes sense definitely gonna subscribe

That’s my luck break down on the way home. I bought a brand new Gatormade trailer and one of the plastic hubs busted and came off going down the interstate. Thank God for potato salad and duct tape 😂

You know Tim, if I was a driver, I'd be honored to work in one of your trucks knowing it is well taken care of and that you're not bullshitting me about the truth of getting honest good people to work for you. I really like the interior of that FLD, I never would expect a truck like that to have a wooden floor or be a nice blue color. You sweet talking the dryer valve was cute and gave me an honest chuckle especially when I heard Braxton getting a fun laugh out of it and you giving a really sweet smile

Hello guys always like your shows and the way you do things. Really proud to see how your son takes to working with you side by side. Good young man. I seen your heading says your looking for a driver. I've got 35 plus years experience.

Can’t wait to hear what you guys have going once your brokerage is up and going.

FLD ,that was my first truck I bought, and I loved it.

I like the way you look past all the little dents and dings, the bent up bumper and see all the possibility of and older truck.

Just love me some FLD! When they are kept clean they are one clean looking truck

Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that talks to his truck. LOL.

Always a great time when Gentry & Sons uploads!!!! Amazing new rigs btw Tim!

I watch a lot of other channels but you explain everything so simply.

That bumper is pretty much the only one I like on FLD's . Your fleet is getting nice with the addition of the argosies. Keep up the progress!

This truck definitely has the look!!

Gracias por los videos Tim. Bonito tu FLD 120.

Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching it keep them coming and be safe out there on the road

Man. Your a good dude. Hotshot world hasn't been near this professional.

Another great video !!! The old FLD is a good looking truck . And I am really going to love it, when you get the stacks on it and it is going to look awesome when you all get it all decked out . I am hoping that everything continues to keep going so great for you all, the new (old ) trucks are going to be a great addition to the fleet . Take care and stay safe out there working on the trucks and putting the pedal to the metal moving down the highway . 🤗👍❤️💫

From one truck driver to another I really hope you don't ever get caught with that phone in your hand. I love that FLD though

Wish I lived down there. I would apply. Awesome trucks. U would be a great boss. keep up the great work guys.

Love that blue truck good luck with the trucks see you soon

Keep it coming bro, really looking forward to the w900 restoration vid

Oh dear... just like the Argosies, this truck needs some TLC... oh well, can't wait to see what happens next!

Love the sound of that turbo

I’d turn that one into a show truck for sure! Pete’s are really nice, but there a dime a dozen. Haven’t seen many of those at shows. Especially with a flattop roof

I'm amazed that you can run older heavy vehicles with today's emission standards.

Don’t feel bad! I got a 2023 Volvo vnl 860 auto trans. Transmission started leaking at 7k miles and had to put it in shop get it fixed . Warranty toke care of it but loss revenue for few days . You are on right track with your family, keep on trucking driver

Awesome video Tim appreciate the channel buddy 👍

Love and enjoy the channel and video’s alway’s remember to do what you love and what makes you happy 😊😊😊

I drove a1998 Freightliner almost exactly like this one, had air in the sleeper, twin 6inch chrome stacks and 18 speed and a Detroit, absolutely loved that truck. I say you keep it for yourself.

Love those FLD freightliners ! Especially the flat tops

You have some great videos enjoy them Can't wait till the next one👍🚛NC

Dang that is a sweet FLD id leave the weed burner exhaust looks pretty clean that way.

looks good, now to get it load ready

kudos to you for maintaining a high standard for hiring your drivers!After all a bad driver can damage your reputation and business which is yours to maintain! Great video, as I love seeing the old school trucks like you have there. This video of the fld you just bought and the IH Cabover you have bring back memories for me as I have been fortunate enough to have operated both in my days of driving! If I were younger and able to drive I would love to be able to drive for you as you have set the bar high for the kind of elite driver that you want to put in your equipment! thank you for your contribution to the trucking industry and please maintain that high bar you set for hiring the kind of driver that will only enhance your business! Take Care And God Bless!

DEFINITELY NEEDS A SLEEPER FARING ON THE ROOF to keep air off the trailer! Definitely Saves a lot of fuel ⛽️ to make it more aerodynamic in the wind.

In great shape for a old truck that! Sure it will give great service on your fleet Tim! Sure you will have the right man for it in your team of drivers and give new starter one of the other fleet trucks!

Sending ❤❤❤ Gentry and sons love the videos

TIMMY YOU MAKE ME LOL THE WAY YOU TALK TO YOUR TRUCKS...BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE...WE ALL DO IT...

I just noticed an old cabover with a stretched frame at an old truck sales lot near my house. It strikes me as the kind of lot where trucks go to die. This truck has Gentry and Sons written all over it.

Tim Like those cab overs you got and the Peterbilt is a cream puff, good luck with the new trucks you and Brax are going places.

Tim I’ve never seen a video our you pulling a cattle trailer. Make one brother. Love the FLD👍👍👍

Tim another home run congrats brother. Hey brax

The bumper that darn it looks good

Hey Tim awesome videos congrats on the new trucks I'm from North Carolina I love driving older trucks it's tough finding jobs around here considering all I know is driving

Look out ol tim Tim is moving on up in the world really been digging the content keep em coming

I don't blame you Tim!

You love and now you got me thinking of a truck to get one

Loving them Freight Shaker's

I would love to see a complete walk around of all your trucks

Great job showing and telling, hope you find a good driver like me one day. Keep on trucking see ya next time see ya bye.

That fld is the nicest truck I've seen in a long time. Ive not seen a truck with that aesthetic before.. its like a mini peter. Super lucky to have that beast. ( made this comment before all the alarms started going off...ut oh)

Badass Bullet!! Keep Vids Coming!!!!

Keep up the good work to all of you great but you guys did god bless you all

Wish I was in your area. Working for a company like yours is what I've always done. I'm a gear head at heart with a nerd's brain. 2nd generation driver with 16+ years' experience driving. Never pulled a pot or any kind of flatbed that was more than a crop sprayer trailer. But have years of Hopper, Van, End Dump and a year of truck transport experience. Maybe one day I will convince my wife to move LOL. Very few small company's honestly care about a driver, just like very few drivers care about the company. Good luck finding a few good drivers. They are far and few between, seems most of the drivers anymore don't carry any kind of tools and have their truck in the shop for a simple light replacement. Heck, I replaced the air dryer 2 weeks ago in a NAPA parking lot and replaced 2 brake chambers this Wednesday sitting in a DOT scale lot.

Love the Fld shaker.

The FLD was probably one of the best Freightliner that they built

Man I need to get my cdl. I’d love the older trucks. I bet we’d get along so well. I can talk about trucks forever
