[Matthew3777]

Whats the song playing at end?!

[H0ldmyst0nes]

Your doing great Canuk... maybe you could show some great sunsets or touch on the various types of flatbed freight and what it takes to secure them?

Or how about pointing out some of the differences between Canadian and American truck drivers ey?

Lol drive safe!

[samedeepwater2]

why do you tarp lumber load

[somerandomguy143]

@samedeepwater2 in case of bad weather rain, humidity, & the sun are all things that can ruin the load, and when there is 50k worth of freight on your back, its best to not do anything to hurt it.... thats not a guess that is my job, im a broker, and @athfromatruck, your videos are amazing, shout out from texas!! thanx for coming to see us

[weez3131]

when will you have new videos

[deathfromatruck]

@weez3131 Not too sure what to video these days! :( Been busy trying to figure that out.....

[iPhronz]

robotic narroration much?

[deathfromatruck]

@iPhronz Yeah it is kind of mono-tone eh.....I should have picked that up when I edited the video, but it was a somewhat sombre video due to the fact that a driver from my company died tragically at the beginning.

[smallsbeef]

i love big rigs.... i wana get my CDL... and every time i seen a trucker trying to make a turn i give then tons of room cuz i knw u guys have to make wide turns..... o and i love your videos....

[ShakerCuda71]

Great vids. I drove cross country to CA and back a couple months ago. Drove through NM and TX. Of course I was driving a car, but I pushed myself to average almost 900 miles a day. One day I drove 1150 miles. I look back and wonder. I should have just put on 500 miles a day. Shouldn't have pushed myself so hard.

[louielamson2000]

[braceyoself777]

Whats up man! I am really enjoying these video's, my father in law is a trucker and he travels from California to New York. I am thinking about joining it because I just love driving and being out on the open road. How much does a trucker man anyways?

[meyerd1]

I'm thinking of becoming a truck driver, what are some of you ropinions... i'm 26, single, and i got laid off from my job, i have two years of college, but i am only half way done with my degree...i need to make money, and quick!!!

[paininspain]

[7mitch7mitch7]

[north60star]

Awesome :)

[deathfromatruck]

Thanks sweety, still waiting for you to tell me who that Big Freight driver was. How much do you want for the tape? Anything bad on there that I can use to blackmail said driver with?? :)

[north60star]

lol nope, just passed him once sitting and met him at the bottom of Peterson hill.

Hang tight, I *think* I have one shot up, and one still on the camera, lemme find it.

[north60star]

2:25 on my Part 5.... I'll find the other one later, it may show the guys face.

[CyberPassenger]

You are such a good story teller ! Great video again fellow trucker.

[deathfromatruck]

Thank you Cyber! I'm glad you are enjoying it! Stay safe out there buddy, rubber side down!

[perkinsgap]

dave

these flims r great and glad you told me about them keep them coming Garren

[deathfromatruck]

Thanks Garren, really appreciate you lending me that Ice Road Truckers series. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it!! Makes me want to run th winter roads this season for a little taste. Looks like the promise land up there! See round' the yard buddy, you and the Mrs. stay safe out there!

[north60star]

Unfortunately, there isn't much money to be made on the ice road anymore :( The season is very short, something to do with fuel being hauled as close as possible now all year. Even when I was first up here the guys were gone almost 3 months, now its 5-6 weeks. Hardly worth gearing up for. =\

[Combo2049]

hey great vidios like always.. 5 stars for sure.. you do great videos and great editing.. I like the fact that you explain your trip with details and show the view while your in the state.. thats awsome.. I get a chance to see how the stated look like.. very very great video.. keep them coming :-)

[deathfromatruck]

Thanks Combo!! I appreciate your comments! I might as well give you a little talkup on my surroundings, or there's no point in showing you anything! I don't mind a little silence in movies, but when I'm supposed to guess the point to wht I'm watching I lose interest, so I try to always keep it interesting :)

[242eagle]

i feel sorry about the driver that pasted away great vid i hope trucking is more golden for u more often

[deathfromatruck]

Thankyou eagle!

[aid2003]

great video like your others..You are a inspiration to all Truckers holding a camera..like me.. Im sorry about the trucker..You know my father die also at a accident with his truck..So take care bro and be safe on your golden trips..

[deathfromatruck]

I'm sorry to hear about your father aid. That must have been a terrible time for you and your family. I'm happy to learn that you also make videos on the road! I think that for every trucker spreading the message the more people willunderstand what its like out here. Take care buddy, safe trips, rubber side down!

[Jepp300]

You are incredibly good to make the video was sad in the start.

But you have a great trip will hope to get more great trip :)

[deathfromatruck]

Thankyou Jepp

[berriederooij]

Hello Dave, I know where you talking about, I was a proff truckdriver for 40years, and I'm very happy, I did'nt have made,fatally accidents, I don't say I'm a very good driver, no, I always had luck, to be back home again, Everyone thinks he is the BEST driver of the world, my question is , why happen so much, accidents????????? It's for 1% driving and for 200% watch out!!!! Dave you made a really good vid again, it's just a good documentary, Dave be care. Greeting Berrie

[deathfromatruck]

Thankyou berrie, you're right, people get distracted and do stupid things out there. Its all about paying attention to your vehicle, those around you, and those ahead of you. 40 years is a long time my friend. Glad it was good for you. I'm sure you could tell us a lot about it.

[ZoeToots]

I can see JDogg is watching this too! HI JDogg! I love active share.

[deathfromatruck]

Active Share?

[ZoeToots]

Yes...you can turn on "active" share and people can see what you are viewing. New thing here on the tubes. :)

[deathfromatruck]

Interesting :)

[Newfieguy89]

Another great episode...keep up the great work!! Cant wait till the next one!! Yet another 5 star video!!

[deathfromatruck]

I'm a little annoyed that youtube further crops my video. I had adjusted it in widescreen format, and I guess youtube did too! Hope you can live through the tiny picture, my apologies.

[ZoeToots]

It's an awesome video and you did an excellent job! I faved it!!!

[deathfromatruck]

Thanks again Zoe! You rock!

[ZoeToots]

I don't rock NEARLY as much as you do. LiL ZT and I watched this video a few times...I had to explain, why and how he died. AWESOME video.
