Kids find their first day at work a huge change from schoolwork that it’s no surprise that Ginny is tired at the slightest effort.....and expect parents to fork out for everything.

That cabover prime mover would be quite valuable now days

The diner they frequented is still on highway 10 just south of Caledonian, Ontario.

Jerry would be happy with a tie and a carton of smokes ?... Throw in a case of Molsen Ale and she got herself a deal .

Those two drivers would have been fired for violating TSA regulations. No stopping along route, no hitchhikers, no loose lips. Make sure your cargo is secured...etc

When I was a driver, I once carried exactly that run. Hazmat, Radioactive, only contained in a solid steel cylinder that weighed 400 lbs. They didn't tie it down. And did that cylinder roll around like a gorilla got loose. It was all one piece , I think the cylinder itself was a cell. Like a big lithium battery. So no damage could happen to it. I had to take it to some power plant . Took us an hour to get it off my truck with a lift.

Useful! Thx Dan

Dang. This was a great show, as a kid.

Good wholesome entertainment. The kind sorely missing today. I search these shows out. Better than anything out there today.

The show sucks same plot every time they come out of a coffee shop to get hijacked😅😅

Panzee trudeau should watch this,he could learn values and respect for working class,but his queer lifestyle has destroyed his brain cell

Was this directed by Ed Woods ?

Notice, the Canucks never contributed to western culture. Yea hey der.

I drove a truck for twenty five years. Some of this is different because of the era that it is set in. Some of this is unrealistic but some of the things are exactly what real truck drivers have to deal with. One of them is taking a told that you are told will only take you two hours and turns into much more.

Can you tell me which model this is? There should be a number on the housing, greetings Oliver

Great video really enjoyed

I grew up watching the original series. I sure hope that this 660 series "Jimmy" made up its mind whether it was powered by Cummins "J" Series as it left the terminal, or the 8-71 while it was going down the highway. lol PS: The 8-71 was still Not in production, "if" the tractor was a Pre-1957 model. Actually, the 8-71 was Rarely installed in this series GMC, "if" ever. They were even fairly "rare" in the "Crackerbox's" that followed. The 6-71 was the predominant engine in this 660 Series "COE", and the "Crackerbox".

I watched this show with my older brother when I was a kid. I was amazed to see it here on RUclips. Great memory.

I'm new to all this. But it would be nice to buy the internal shifter hub with the wheel. I've googled it multiple times and couldn't one.

I loved this series when I was a kid. Thanks for posting this. What wonderful memories and not to mention the great theme song.i used to sing along to it . 👍📺

Believe I 'Loved' every episode of 'Cannon Ball' that I watched as a ca 10/11/12 year old. Every truck passed had a hero in it in my imagination, on our long distance bi-annual vacations (family reunions) . . . Somewhere along the time road line we lost him but some Canadian Truckers have recently brought the 'old spirit' potential back.

Talking about their valuable load. No lock on the trailer door. No lock on the box carrying the deadly radioactive material. You don't need a Geiger counter to detect the naivete.

I used to love this series when I was a kid, (born 1949) in Somerset, England, the area had a lot of stone quarries which employed the majority of the men in the locality either driving trucks or maintaining them. All the trucks back in those days were British, the 'S' type Bedford being the most commonplace. The 'S' type had a cab shape similar to the GMC used in the series, Bedford was owned by GM BTW. The only two stroke diesels we heard were three cylinder, six piston units used in Commer trucks and the occasional Foden..Happy Days!

I remember two particular episodes that I would love to see again. One was about a guy who was handling a “gun,” and the audience was left with the impression that he was seeking “revenge” on Mike for a wound he received during the war. The other was about a truck “rodeo,” featuring skill contests.

Their dispatcher was a jerkoff too 😂

More like the Laurel and Hardy trucking Co.

Cannonball had that Detroit Diesel 2 stroke right up to max RPM's on that intro distinctive exhaust notes like no other engine, so cool "Yeah,cobalt,it'll kill you in 3 hours.It's perfectly safe,see I tested it"

I was always. Taught to keep.mt mouth shut in the military, you know loose lips sink ships,ge eats donuts a d coffee and runs his big mouth ,crap u would have tryed to steak that thing myself, big mouth trucker,from a trucker

There's going to be a new series.. A.I. cannonball the truck drives itself....then the radioactive element causes the AI computer goes crazy and the truck goes top speed in reverse...theres a regionwide emergency. Then finall a teamster pulls along side and shuts the AI system bringing the truck to a harmless stop.....

I remember this on the tv over here in the uk when I was a kid. I was born in 59 so we must of got it later. That has given me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing.

What a great show, Thank you for posting this such great memories. !!!!

Beautiful cars, beautiful trucks. All so wonderful to see. God those were the best days. .......if I could only enjoy it all again.

Wow looks like a film or TV show with real trucks, roads,... from over 60 years ago, and in black & white.

It's too bad this video didn't get more credit. 7 years later, I wonder if you still have that chair. LOL

US had 'Route 66', Canada had 'Cannonball'. I rest my case.

Those guys shouldn't be driving nails.

Most expensive load I ever hauled was cigarettes and liquor and you can bet I never conversat over it either lol

Obviously they dont lock up the truck.Do these guys ever have one day without a drama or disaster?

William Campbell here as co-star played several guest roles on the original Star Trek. Trelane was one, Koloth rhe Klingon Commander at station K-7, during the tribbles episode, was rhe other one.

watching this i want run the lionel that was looped around the Christmas tree

About an hour ago, I opened an old 3-speed Sturmey Archer and found that three of those four prongs seen at 6:30 had broken off. No idea how that ever happened, but it did explain why the bike decided to fully lock up at speed. Thanks for the informative video!

I wish they would have had a older lesbian trucker in this show. There were some back then.

Two drivers , no rush , wow nice job, not realistic

Radioactive load and no escort?

Great show i was born in 59 i missed all the good shows . thank you for the video s

As a 7 year old , I wasn't very interested in Cannonball .. It was boring ... The only thing I liked was the opening song .... My father wanted to watch it , so I found something else to do ..Canadian programming was awful .. Except for Forrest Rangers ...

I must’ve seen this show as a child because the theme song drew an immediate memory. Fun show! Thanks for sharing

I remember back in the 80’s through the mid 2000’s I’d be loading my car hauler at Fraser Wharves with vehicles for northern Ontario, I’d see and hear the Princes Superior outbound on the Fraser River heading for Vancouver Island. On a nice late summer afternoon I’d sometimes wish I was on board for the ride too. She came from the Great Lakes before her route was canceled. I think the ferry that ran opposite to her was the Sea Span Greg ?

Kids, This is why you use discretion, rather than tell the public at large, about how valuable your load is like Jerry & Cannonball, the two geniuses!
