A Family Legacy Built On Hard Work| John Polillio Sr.

Pull up a seat in an old-school Autocar dump truck with John Polillio Sr. of Stoughton, Massachusetts, for a conversation about the good old days of trucking, construction, and building a family legacy! In this episode of The Boston Trucker, John takes us back to a time when construction equipment was built to work, trucks were built to last, and if something broke, you grabbed your tools and fixed it yourself. No computers, no plugging into a diagnostic port, just experience, mechanical know-how, and a little New England ingenuity! We talk about his family's history in the construction business, how the company grew, and why he raised his son with the same work ethic and values passed down to him. It's a conversation about more than trucks and equipment, it's about family, hard work, and keeping a legacy alive for the next generation. And of course, we get into the Blizzard of '78 and what it was like working in construction and contracting during one of New England's most memorable snowstorms. From old Autocar dump trucks to Caterpillar D8 bulldozers, heavy equipment, hauling materials, and the days before computers took over the shop, this is a trip back to the way things used to be. If you love antique trucks, vintage construction equipment, old-school mechanics, bulldozers, Autocar tractors, and the stories behind the men who built New England, you're in the right place! This is the kind of history you won't find in a computer — you have to sit down with the people who lived it. 👍 LIKE the video if you love old-school trucks and construction equipment! 💬 COMMENT BELOW: What was your favorite old-school truck or piece of construction equipment?
