Description: Subscribe to Naked Science – goo.gl/wpc2Q1 Denis Yaworski, a dedicated trucker who became fascinated by the history of trucks, built up a collection of over 200 classic vehicles that span almost a century of trucking. His family has been in the trucking business for over two generations, with Denis spending most of his time restoring trucks and rescuing them from a rusty grave The very first trucks were used only for local deliveries inside the city because they weren’t powerful or tough enough for rough country roads. The first truck was built by the Daimler Company in Germany in 1896. A few years later the American truck building industry was established, but it wasn’t until World War I that the truck really proved its worth.
