Before the Interstate: When Truckers Ruled the Old Highways | Trucking Nostalgia

Before the Interstate: When Truckers Ruled the Old Highways | Trucking Nostalgia What was trucking like before the Interstate Highway System changed North America forever? In this nostalgic clip from Chords & Chrome, we look back at the days when truck drivers traveled two-lane highways, passed through small towns, and relied on roadside diners, service stations, and local knowledge to get the job done. Long before GPS, bypasses, and multi-lane freeways, truckers built the industry one mile at a time on the old highways. Join us as we remember the roads, stories, and experiences that shaped trucking history and created a unique culture that many drivers still miss today. What do you remember about the old highways?
