 or even started it that is impressive that's gonna be very bright there is my camera blurry this phone hey guys uh... i'm live if you're watching this later uh... this is filmed at uh... nine just before nine thirty a m saturday may fourteenth just waiting for a couple of guys to get in here i'm just trying to organize my videos for the week so that i can uh... start editing them i put them all

friday didn't get as much content as i wanted this week uh... morning uh... morning guys there's your comments are starting to come in this window is a little bright there i don't want to sit in darkness so we're gonna have to deal with it i like the light south texas hey guys newfoundland south wisconsin there from jordan cool england north dakota seattle cool and you guys are all over the place astral shot you're yeah absolutely oh hey that's brit hey brit are you on your way home yet? i'm bored brit's at uh... getting some work done on her car she should be home soon i got bored have i heard anything have i heard anything about the w900 what w900 i haven't mentioned any w900 on my channel but if there was one no i haven't i haven't heard anything about any w900 yet still waiting i was supposed to know on friday yesterday but uh... i'm gonna have to wait until monday now i guess we'll see youtube doesn't uh... we'll wait a little sec on that you're from steinberg but you come down to texas you're enjoying it thanks richard reimer i am not revealing anything there mr kruger yeah i do want to go on rob i always do uh... right now our rates are really good i know in other places people keep talking about the rates going down down down and fuel prices going up up up everything i've seen around here yeah fuel prices are going up they're going through the roof absolutely but so are the rates rates are through the roof right now there's not enough drivers for anything people are desperate to get their freight moved and rates have increased along with fuel prices here so the the drivers with us are making more this year than they were before the pandemic they're making like twenty thirty percent more i've talked to several of them i've gone into our uh... uh... payroll department asked them if the rumors are true i've talked to our dispatch i've talked to our sales i've talked to everybody in the company including the boss himself and uh... yeah it's our rates are doing great uh... we've kept up with fuel prices so yeah the fuel prices keep going up but uh... that cost gets forwarded down the line to the consumer so you'll see that at the end of the line when you buy the finished product when you buy uh... stuff off the shelves whether it be a wal-mart or uh... uh... anything parts for your car parts everything everything's getting more expensive yeah but uh... maybe we knew this was coming it's not like it's a big surprise when you spend trillions of dollars you just printed out of nothing we're like i think prices are going to go up everybody's like no no no everything's going to be fine no it's not it might be fine but things are just the numbers are going to adjust really quickly but we're doing good we're doing fine uh... things are going great with us guys gotta hold on a little tighter now well i think brit might be home now but yeah for owner ops with us right now uh... that's why we're looking for owner ops so bad right now right because we don't have enough drivers to haul all our freight and our freight needs to be moved and they want to move it and they're willing to pay to move it i hear a lot online uh... coming from i think a lot of people just like to complain though like i don't want to downplay what they're saying because the rates may be low where they're at maybe they don't have good contracts like we do maybe they don't have clientele i don't know maybe their rates are low even before the pandemic when everything was good when everything was going great uh... we're always always complaining complaining complaining why is everything digging low rates low rates so you can't make money you can't make money i'm sitting here like yeah you can yes you can what are you talking about maybe they're just in the wrong region i don't know our region is really good for trucking we're right in the center of the continent so uh... any freight moving from any point in the continent to anywhere else we're sort of right in the middle of almost every freight lane for canada maybe that helps i don't know i like to talk that's right that's why i have a blog channel that i can talk and yap all i want but no uh... there's always been the people out there always been those negative people out there saying oh there's no money all the rates are low all the fuel is going up all this all that you can't make money we're not going to make money without attitude yeah uh... on my own truck one day is going to uh... what's are you talking about what's are you talking about no i'm talking about rates right now for all operators uh... they're making good money it's a good time to be a trucker here everybody wants freight not enough drivers after the pandemic everybody's like a ramping up uh... production and uh... there's always a shortage of drivers and then with everything going on with the border yet and that's shorten the driver supply even more so people can cross are just doing good to good time are you guys doing see your comments where your comments go i don't want to drive long haul uh... no because i was starting a family right that's priority number one we've got that uh... motion started we're building a house soon uh... so i want to be i'd be close to home i wouldn't be like on weeks at a time like i was when i was uh... younger it's not a tough time with the cost of fuel now the rates cover the fuel the fuel price goes up the rates go up they're actually making more this year than they were last year now they're they're netting more our drivers they're netting more this year than they were last year even with uh... the price of fuel we've got an excellent sales team excellent sales team and uh... excellent uh... so we've got a good thing going on gotta look for the cheap fuel well good luck finding that all fuel is expensive now house diesel enjoying the land ownership i think it's going quite well he's been quite relaxed and chill about it uh... he's requested a top hat uh... a pipe and uh... some brandy that he owns a square foot of land in scotland that's what the deed says i got sent it i got sent it got it sent to me here he comes himself hey hey boss man come here boss man hey guys you're a landowner look at them don't look at me look at them look look at the camera oh well your eyes roll you gotta do your hair in your eyes before you come on cameraman he's old he doesn't care diesel how's it feel being a lord or a lord of a scottish estate it's quite thrilling actually quite nice dream comes true it's very nice when you're building a state you have my own dog house very nice anything else nice at all he's gonna go and get all the ladies alright diesel you're not too old for that are you bring them down to your penthouse show them your big screen tv i don't know if you guys saw my video or not on that there's a nature preserve in scotland and the way they preserve it is they sell off all the land one square foot at a time so it's impossible to develop anything there right britney's in the comments there hey diesel yeah she says diesel be eleven years old in august yeah she's answering your questions there how did we all that's a story for itself diesel's always been with me wieners always been with brit uh frank was uh a foster that uh just became permanent and uh chevy was our wedding dog uh chevy when we got married we took our presentation money or is that what's called presentation we do money from our wedding and we went and bought a dog i got chevy and he has the same birthday as brit so he's gonna yeah we call him chevy because he's the the color of the chevy emblem and we're chevy fans we're simple you guys like my new shirt brit's watching right now brit got me this shirt yesterday or day before i'm wearing it very nice it's got a pocket just in case wait i saw a comment up there i wanted uh a super chat how old is diesel the black dog okay brit answered your question uh sorry i missed that there uh z 12 yeah eleven years old in august well gray and morgan maybe where you're at not where we're at we're doing good we're doing good we're keeping up with uh the current market current fuel rates uh current fuel prices current uh cost of operating business we're keeping up with that like i said we have an excellent sales team we have an excellent uh company that we're running under and they're taking good care of us well it's a good time to be a truck driver we're more essential than ever right now with everything so far behind like have you uh the one thing i will say that is frustrating for our owner operators is that parts are really far behind right now uh you know uh production in everything is far behind because everybody's shut down a couple of years ago now they're all still trying to catch up it'll take a little while for everything to uh get caught up then things going on in other parts of the world right now are slowing down that process of catching up but as things are catching up uh we need drivers more and more and more to move this freight to get everything caught up and there's not enough drivers there's never been enough drivers that's not a new thing there's always been a shortage of drivers always is longer than i've been alive this isn't a new thing or anything to do with the pandemic this has just always been but now the economy is just surging up here at least where we are i don't know i hear complaints from other parts of the continent south of us i don't know up here the economy is roaring back to life we need drivers we need them now and people are willing to pay to move their freight and pay pretty good because everything needs to move we are more essential than ever right now you need your parts for your truck you need your food for your fridge you need your materials to build your house you need your tires for your car you need stuff everybody always needs stuff and they need it right now and there's just not enough drivers to get it out there so everybody's trying to tell people you need we need drivers really badly because people are paying for us to move their stuff and they're paying really well at least where we're at i mean that's why i say i take it with a grain of salt when people complain about stuff because they've always complained that's one reason i started my channel was because there's so much negativity in our industry so much negativity always complaining complaining and i get why guys get depressed out there i've been out there nine years i was out there for weeks at a time i know what it's like being out there for weeks at a time it it gets to your soul depressing where there is no positivity to find anywhere you see the negative in everything because you're just so sick of being gone for weeks and weeks and weeks at a time and the balance between home life and work life is not there so if you don't balance that properly yeah it's it's tough to stay positive and i get why people get very negative then and then they start complaining like oh maybe their truck broke down they've got an expensive i've had this too you you have a very expensive repair and suddenly oh the industry is terrible can't make any money well you're going through a rough stage right now absolutely there are risks no one becomes a truck driver to get rich we're not going to become elon musk by driving trucks uh we do because we love it and it's it's good money compared to what a lot of people are struggling right now a lot of people are struggling to pay their bills housing prices in canada are through the roof that's one thing that nothing is keeping up with housing prices the average home for a family in canada right now across our country is eight hundred thousand dollars it's over eight hundred thousand dollars for just an average house i gotta put you guys down i'm shaking too much so that's something that that has been skyrocketing and inflating past everything else our rates are keeping up with us we're fortunate enough to have a small house here in manitoba that's affordable but if i was in ontario this house would be worth six seven hundred thousand dollars and it's probably more than that it's a tiny little house here in manitoba we're a little bit more fortunate a little more undesirable but uh housing prices have gone through the roof and that's uh bad policy on behalf of our government and stuff that they're they're you have a lot of people and supply and demand and they're not keeping up with demand really we have so many people looking for homes no one's building homes build some homes flood the market with homes but now they're in a pickle because now people are paying a million dollars for a two bedroom bungalow a million dollars i'll say you just pay a million dollars for a two bedroom bungalow and this year the government's like okay we're going to take care of this housing price and they go out and build like uh five hundred million homes that's way over exaggerate let's say they go out and they build five million homes and that floods the market with new homes and all of a sudden all the prices of homes go down now you just paid a million dollars for a two bedroom bungalow and in two years it's only worth three hundred thousand so you owe the bank a million dollars for a house that's only worth three hundred thousand dollars now you're in a big problem so that's the that's a whole different issue i'm not i'm not in the housing market let's stick to things that i that i and i'm actually a part of like in trucking because truck is doing good right now everybody needs truckers uh on a massive interest rate spikes have slowed house sales and i'm not surprised we knew that interest rates would go up when you flood the market with money that you printed you print trillions of dollars and you just flood the market with free money that nobody earned they didn't produce anything for it it's just money that just flooded the market suddenly all of those bank notes are worth less the only way to get those bank notes up is you got to get them out of circulation how do you get them out of circulation you raise the interest rates you raised interest rates so that the money comes back into the bank but that's really hard for the people who who have loans and stuff right no we knew this is all gonna happen nobody believed us you're a truck driver you don't know anything about this called this you're two years ago i told you this is where we'd be well no don't listen to me i'm just a truck driver i'm just rambling one of things what is dingy here i keep bumping something and it keeps dingy what's going on but it's true uh i don't really have any ground to stand on when it comes to houses i just sort of understand how money works a little bit i'm not a housing expert i'm not an economy expert i'm i'm a transport expert i'll tell you how to tie down a load of steel and get it across the continent on time without damage that's what i'm good at so uh the rest of this is just me predicting and spewing things hey guys hey dodge how much uh the average driver makes in your company uh so for a company driver uh you could predict let's say you're making a driving at least 10 000 miles per month i would expect you to be making over 60 000 a year uh close to 60 000 depending on how much you drive like you you want to keep your miles over 10 000 miles a month maybe more on 12 000 miles a month i would say that you should be making over 60 000 i've always been able to pull in over 60 uh as an owner operator you'll be able to uh pull in uh you depends what you're doing if you're on flatbed you should be able to pull in like 25 30 000 a month with the cost of fuel then depending on your fuel habits if you drive if you drive crazy or a fuel economy is not your biggest concern because when i buy a truck i want it to be a w9 so i'm you don't buy a w9 to get the best fuel economy but you still want to be decent you don't want to uh throw thing throw money into the wind too much but sometimes you can pay an pay sometimes you want to pay a little bit of extra money per mile to have a nice shiny classic truck i understand that totally i do that but uh 10 000 a month in fuel you can expect to spend and if you're pulling in 30 you have an extra 20 after that to pay for registration for insurance for plates for whatever else you need uh where we're at the owner operators all of those things are all covered by the company they cover uh they take care of your plates your registration uh i mean you still have to pay for through through the process right but they'll take care of it make sure that it's all up to date make sure that your truck is registered insured uh that your ifta stickers are up to date that uh your permits are up to date if you're an owner operator you're gonna have to pay for your own tolls though uh depending you have two different pay packages last i checked with owner operators you can get paid by the mile which is something that you have to negotiate with them or you get paid percentage i always go with the percentage myself because i think you'll make more with percentage especially with the contracts we got going on right now but that's just me uh i have an uncle right now or i shouldn't say no from what i've heard drivers looking at rates around manitoba where we're at right now Keystone is ahead of the pack in pay they they pay the highest and uh they have the most how do i say that we isn't really good things going on right now i have a friend that's been looking around at companies around manitoba and uh he said hands down Keystone pays the highest any company in manitoba for what we do for what we do but then and you got to remember we haul specialized freight we don't just haul drive and box freight whatever you can throw in there and safe for we don't haul just safe freight we haul specialized freight like uh classic cars for for instance uh atv side-by-sides uh double-decker trailers that are custom built trailers for what we do um hauled glass you remember years ago i don't know if we still do that i haven't seen it come through the yard in a little while but uh we used to haul glass uh that was those were always good pain loads i like those uh so it's not like we just haul the basic stuff that you just throw on the deck tie down and go you have to know what you're doing and that's why we require experience to work here one match like do you think youtube could become your bread and butter career that'd be a dream come true wouldn't it that'd be awesome if the goal of my youtube channel i'll be honest with you guys like i make money off my youtube decent money decent yeah uh if it wasn't tied to trucking maybe i maybe i could live off it for a while it's very close that i could maybe live off of it uh but the thing is it's tied to trucking and i'm tied to trucking so i wouldn't be happy unless if i was trucking and the channel wouldn't be happy unless if i'm trucking remember i've tried that before i've tried coming off the road for a month no one was happy about that i wasn't happy about that you weren't happy about that and uh the channel starts going down because that's what my life is based around uh my goal though with my youtube channel since the beginning has always been i want to get to the point where i can drive truck because i want to not because i have to i would love to make youtube a my primary income source that'd be that'd be awesome not there i'm not at that point but uh you know maybe if we doubled doubled views but in order to do that i think that uh i need to change up my content a little bit i need to go a little bit further in my trips than what i'm doing right now uh right now i'm local and around winnipeg because uh we're trying to start a family and family's always going to come first always that's uh something that was pounded into me as a kid and uh not just that it's what's most important to me so britt our dogs our our children not in that order britt our children our dogs our family in general they will always come first but in order for me to grow my channel i'm thinking i'm probably gonna have to go a little further uh show a little bit more of the continent especially if i'm trying to attract drivers to do what i do i'm gonna have to show you the kind of things that we'd be doing uh overnight's maybe as an owner operator i could just give you an inside look then of what life as an owner operator would be again i've done that already a couple times and it's not that i failed at that time it wasn't right the truck wasn't right the timing wasn't right and that's why i got out of it it's not that anything went wrong it's uh we were making good money we also had a lot of expenses come up all at once but that's that's not the the the main reason why we stopped i stopped because i needed to be home and uh we were uh you know we're trying to start a family and we're having a little bit of delays in conceiving and having having a child so i didn't know what was going on we were talking with the doctors at the time trying to get this whole IVF thing uh on the road and i needed to be close also the pandemic happened and britt uh my wife her her she has a compromised immune or compromised lung system we didn't know what this was all about they were uh scaring the living daylights out of everybody when this thing first rolled out they were telling us we were all gonna die and this was gonna be the end of the world and you know anybody with compromised lungs is gonna get it and they're gonna end up on a ventilator and and uh i'm not downplaying at all i mean my mom got very sick too and she ended up in a coma in the hospital and uh she made it through because she's very healthy and very strong thank god uh i still haven't gotten it but uh that's that's a side note anyways that's part of the reason why i came off the road because this pandemic was scaring the the daylights out of us and i didn't want to be down in georgia and have my wife suddenly get very very sick way up here and maybe three days away with everything going on we were freaking out so we i decided i needed to be home every day and that's when i started looking for uh for what i'm doing now but uh now that uh for the most part it seems this pandemic is behind us at least here anyways in manitoba things have opened up for the most part life is back to normal uh i know in other parts of the world the life was normal all the time but here in manitoba uh we're getting there now uh things are calm down about that the news has stopped going on 24-7 about it it's kind of nice i hate to see the news the the news coming out of ukraine right now i hate to see the devastation and stuff especially since we have so many ukranians living here around us uh it hits us it's close to home in this region a lot what's going on there i hate to see that but at the same time it's it's nice that the news is talking about something else other than covid uh that that's that's nice so it's really brought people like out of the pandemic i think you know it's a terrible situation it's just there's always something bad going on right uh i'm getting to your comments guys i'm getting i see them there uh anyways we i came off the road because of the pandemic mostly and we didn't know what to expect we didn't know what was going on and now that we do uh yeah uh i don't want to be back on the road for weeks at a time uh not right now not while we have young children possibly on the way and especially as they're growing up the first four to five years of their life are very influential they're very transformative they're very important so for the first like five to ten years of their life i don't want to be far away i i want to be a big part of their life and i i want them to have memories of their dad being home regularly regularly i may not be home every night maybe i'll go out do some regional stuff uh go out for a night or two at a time but that's going to be very important to me at the same time as they're growing up i want them to have that same experience of going with dad on the big truck that i had i had that experience when i was a kid i would always go with dad on the big semi uh in the summer times uh great time i want to be able to give my kids that experience too so i've got to find something uh a happy medium to balance the home life and trucking i think i found something but we're gonna wait a little while to see if uh things go through before i talk talk more about it but i do have plans have i ever went to see sergeant no i never saw him again i never saw him again since then the dogs are here big answer is a channel with over a hundred k subs seems grown maybe do reaction vids from the internet i can do that yeah we have yeah we have about a hundred and fourteen thousand uh five hundred people that follow and we're not growing very quickly and i'm okay with that i don't need to grow i don't need to become super big on youtube i'd rather slowly gain a close following that that actually enjoys watching my content and about 10 percent of viewers or 10 percent of subscribers watch every day and that's i'm happy with that with the audience we have i'm not here to make uh big big moves on the internet i'd like to but if not then pep mitts thank you bud thanks is wishing both of you a great future as you begin your family thank you thank you uh i would love to see the channel grow faster obviously that's the whole point of youtube i'm here to uh grow a channel and it is a business it's a it's a registered business so i do make money with it uh those google ads that you see in my videos that are so annoying uh thank you for putting up with those i appreciate i don't care if you hit the skip ad button i don't know how those all work google takes care of all of those i don't even control which ones get sent to you but thank you for being patient with them uh and it does help out because that that's really what has gotten us through the financial side of this ivf process if you want to know where my profits from youtube have gone that's where it's gone it's gone into building our family uh and uh i'm very appreciative to everyone who puts up with those ads uh they are free to watch so it's not like you got to pay to watch them but uh they can get annoying and i just i appreciate your patience with they're helping us out with with a lot of things here you should do a reaction video to some of your old videos henry says i should do reaction some i have done a few of those before when we were in saskatoon for uh our little wiener dog surgery we're doing reaction videos then uh i should probably do some more though that's a good idea i need to shave look at my beard i'm looking pretty scruffy yikes oh well you get the family life but i you do miss the otr with diesel big hand says and i miss it too man i'll be honest the brit knows it too she's watching right now and i don't know if she's still watching she's at the at the shop right now she's getting her uh summer tires put back on her car uh but i miss it too i i miss the highway that's that's career wise that's where my heart is i i love the open road i love traveling with diesel and i i try not to tell you guys what i have planned in the future until the plans are actually set in stone because i don't want to say i'm going to do something and then have it not work out and then have to explain to everybody why it didn't work out but i am right now trying to position myself where i can be regional where i can be on the road again in my own truck with diesel and still be home you know once during the weekend every weekend that's what i'm working towards right now i was hoping to have an answer on that to reveal to the the channel this weekend but uh things are dragging out they're taking a little longer than i and i thought they would uh so we'll have to wait till monday i guess to find out if it went through and if it doesn't go through i don't want to have to be like well we tried it didn't work out but yeah i uh have i ever been to central usa i've been to every continental us state the only states i haven't been to is alaska and hawaii i've been to every province and territory of canada except for nunavut i haven't been to the southwest of the u.s in a while i haven't been through new mexico but that was when i was a kid we do have freight going down there but no to mow the land yet nate says not yet i haven't thinking about it though it's gonna come up soon it's kind of swampy right now everything's kind of flooded so i'm trying to hold this camera steady it's not really working maybe i should go set you guys down on her since i'm gonna be yapping i was just gonna hang out till brit got home but she's she's been there for two hours they must be they must be doing something in the car where can i put this gonna put this up here i'm just gonna put you guys on the shelf wow there we go yeah no that's too high isn't it yeah that's all right yeah that's all right there we go and i don't have to hold you cool now where's the comments where's the oh they're there waddy says do you realize bro any children brit and yourself have are going to have 114 thousand aunts and uncles yeah yeah oh we also gotta figure out what we're going to do with our children and my youtube channel are we going to show them are we going to include them uh i want to of course i want to want to share that part uh as they grow older though you gotta gotta think like they they also have to make their own decision as well as they grow older when they're young kids obviously they can't make decisions for themselves that's what parents are for parents make the decisions for them as they get older maybe they don't want to be on youtube maybe they don't want to be well known you know i look at families like the shea tarts i don't know if you guys know them or not they used to be on youtube uh but uh they're a big family and you know as the family grows older those kids grow up and they're very well known they're very well known around do they even want to be famous or do they just want to be like a normal kid that can just go to college and not have to worry about you know everybody like running after them i don't know i don't know how big my channel's gonna get right now i don't think i'm very i don't think of myself as a famous person at all uh but maybe one day it'll get to that point i'm not doing this for for the fame but sometimes that comes along with it i gotta think when i have kids are they gonna want to be a part of that or not so britain i've got to britain i've got to talk more about that yet hello from singapore hello what year is the peterbilt the peterbilt i'm driving as a 2007 uh in the description of my videos uh i have that listed there and all uh why are my comments not like staying up on here all messages are a bit ah there we go how does diesel deal with the fame from his ah i think he handles it really well it probably confuses him a lot he just thinks that he has uh i don't know he loves everybody he's just happy that people love him back who is my first subscriber i don't remember i don't remember it says diesel have an only pause account that's funny if i do i don't know about it diesel in florida california uh susan wants to know what the next step with ivf is uh i'd like to discuss that with brit here because she knows a little bit more than i do but she has to go in for another procedure yet uh which might be a little bit painful from what i've heard and what we've heard uh but there's one more procedure and a couple of more prescriptions and stuff and we're hoping that the first transfer will be in june next month my chat keeps disappearing why does it do that the best youtuber i don't know who you're talking about that couldn't be me jacob diesel misses counting cows i do believe he does diesel you missed the cows his eyes just popped open uh besides tim hortons what's another big canadian fast food chain that's all over canada well tim hortons is uh owned by a brazilian company right now i think or an american company i don't know but uh other than tim hortons what would be a big canadian food chain everything that's here is in the us too word anything you find in the us you find here for the most part wadi you were one of my first subscribers yeah way back in the day i was 11 years ago man yeah i've made some good friends off of youtube here what youtubers do i watch honestly i don't watch a lot of youtube i know it's weird right i don't watch a lot of youtube um i don't know i i i'm drawing a blank right now well there's obviously my friends you obviously want obviously like troy and angie on beyond 10 31 uh i watch them uh i watch honestly i've i don't have a lot of time to watch as as a lot of people do in springtime you see views go down always or or at least stop growing as fast uh because most people are outside as soon as the weather warms up less people are on youtube and on their phones are outside doing outdoorsy stuff in wintertime that's when the views

again uh if you don't mind don't hold on to it so long next year that'd be great uh we missed it uh which is better freight liner or Volvo freight liner i am not a fan of Volvo not a fan i'm very passionate about not being a fan of Volvo remember i leased that Volvo once never again okay that is one company that if they ever ask me to do ads for them i'm not the guy they want to do ads for them okay i will do the opposite don't buy one okay they come standard with an engine light people want to know where i stand on volvos passionately against them i don't like them they are problems you buy a Volvo like it they should just change the the logo of Volvo on the front of the grill just change it to an engine light that would make more sense that would make more sense i don't like them problems okay josh them fighting words don't be talking about my leafs everybody likes to bug toronto everybody likes to bug toronto he has a 2022 peterbilt he's a company driver okay so you've got one of them it's hard to get a whole of a brand new truck nowadays here in manitoba the whole new line of 2022s or whatever they got right now they're all sold out and they're not even taking orders for next year yet people are buying trucks like crazy and they're not making them fast enough what's your opinion on the cab size of the scania i want to be careful here because i'm not a european so my opinion doesn't really matter on this but i'm not a fan of the european trucks i sat in it at truck world i got in there and honestly it felt like i was sitting in a minivan it's uh i'm sure they're great trucks for what you use and i know you can't have our big classic hood trucks in europe in some places there uh so they're the best you can get i understand that you don't have a choice you have to have these cabover trucks i'm just i'm not a fan of the the looks of them i think they look funny without a hood they don't look right when you're driving them it feels like you're driving a minivan or when you're sitting in it i've never driven one uh but they're probably very luxurious for what you guys use them for out there and i am just peterbilt kenworth to the end okay and i don't mind uh the other trucks here either i have nothing bad to say about international i've never driven one never had any problems with it uh actually i've driven lots of internationals what am i talking about never owned one nothing bad to say about international my dad's a big freight liner guy you you talk freight liner and you you'll have a conversation all day and night with my dad he loves freight liner he's a big freight liner guy he's always had freight liner when i was a kid and i went on the road with him he had a 97 freight liner fld and he also had a 99 freight liner classic and now he's got a 2003 freight liner classic he's that uh that he still owns he's a big freight liner guy he loves freight liner he's also owned western star western stars they're a very rough ride they ride like a tank like if you have western star it's very rough all the time from my experience i'm not a big fan of the ride quality of western star i think they have a lot of improvements to go there as a truck i like their clutch better than the like their automatic clutch if you got to drive an automatic i like their clutch better than the peterbilt clutch because the peterbilt clutch when you put it in reverse and you try to just gently bump a dock it's all or nothing it just lurches you back all the time their automatic transmissions at least on the transmissions we have in our trucks are they need improvement on peterbilt but uh that's good the volvos drive really nice they're nice trucks inside it's like a condos very comfortable smooth quiet ride beautiful trucks right beautiful until the engine light comes on five minutes after you leave the yard but other than that they're great trucks great trucks i mean i don't want you to think i hate the volvos i just wish that they wouldn't have so many electronic issues all the time from my experience just going through your comments sorry if i've missed a few here they keep disappearing on me just watch my last video jay says uh what is the worst experience backing a trailer in that you've ever had anyone unload you off the street because you couldn't get in the door yeah i've been unloaded off the street before uh it's hard to say what the worst would be in winnipeg that's definitely the worst dock that i had i've had to get into that's uh terrible you need a straight truck and we have a straight truck that we usually send there but sometimes they need a full trailer load picked up and the straight truck just isn't big enough so they have to send a truck in there that's why i was there even though i didn't have a full load i picked up what like nine skids i don't know why i was there then but there i was maybe the straight truck was busy i don't know but uh i went and picked it up and that's probably the worst one to get into and i it actually went really smoothly because that could have gone really bad that could have been very frustrating because it doesn't matter what you do you could have someone flagging people down on the road telling people to stop when you're backing up across the road people aren't going to stop they're just gonna they're in such a hurry it's that city mindset like everybody out of my way only all that matters is what i'm doing right now you just got blinders on they don't pay attention to anything around them and they're just go go go go go and they see a truck backing up and they just they'll just quickly try to get around because they don't want to have to wait 30 seconds for a truck 30 seconds they're gonna be late for their starbucks frappe dappuccino appointment it's that city mindset where everybody's just go go go go it drives me nuts uh so you gotta be careful on the city because people don't care they don't care they'll make a dangerous pass just to save two seconds on their commute and they'll cut in front of the drive aggressive so when you're backing up you you have to expect everybody to do the craziest thing you could think of because if you think that that if you think like oh they I mean if they were super crazy like not paying attention they could do this just assume they're going to do that and uh drive defensively portugal is watching freight liner is a good built truck i'm going through your comments here now uh clean sweet papa clean sweet papa just reading your username uh good built truck are you used to working factory building those suckers right here in North Carolina yeah freight liners are really good trucks i have nothing bad to say about them my dad's trucks the the 97 fld that he had had a detroit engine in it and that thing that thing go and go and go and go and now my dad's 2003 freight liner classic has a cat c15 in it and those engines just go and go and go he's had so few well he's had problems with it every truck has problems but yeah it's been a really good truck for him it's a 2003 and uh you know you just can't uh you take care of them and they just keep going susan have i ever had an accident all answer that was saying this year i was awarded with 1 million safe miles at keystone i had to go to chicago a couple of the trucks are reading your comments here hello uh jeggy from india hello i see your comments there wow guys where's brit she's still there and this shop has taken a long time to switch over a set of tires i know they had to switch some lug nuts and uh it changed some of the valve stems on the tires i don't know what's going on there is he still trucking my dad is still trucking yep i am pretty sure that uh he's only gonna retire when the doctor tells him he has to pretty sure that's i'm sure he's gonna keep truck until that day here's to another 1 million accident free miles bro thank you hope i can get there call brit make sure she's okay i'm sure she's fine i'm sure she's fine she can handle herself she just made a post on instagram like six minutes ago so she's just fine she won't be watching this the whole time that'd be boring why would she watch me she's got to come home and deal with me all day why would she watch me on youtube when she's getting this is her time away from me i know she tuned in at the beginning of this live for a little bit but i doubt she's still in here if she is maybe she is i mean she's super awesome she's the best wife ever the bestest of the best hi from the uk the united kingdom hello hello from grassland alberta that's awesome how many other drivers with geese don't have a million clean miles there's quite a few we have a lower turnover rate with us because i think that the company really treats their drivers really well i mean there's obviously going to be a few disgruntled people here and there we can't get along with everybody i mean some people just don't drive but we've collected a really good group of drivers both men and women to to come and drive with us and there's been a lot that have been there uh for as long as me or longer there's a guy I work with he's doing sitting work now too he's on band division he's been there over 20 years he's been there longer than the CEO not longer than the boss he's uh quite a few drivers like our tire guy too he's been there what did he say 20 years 20 25 years more than that and then we have new drivers like uh kate and that you met in last week's videos who just started he's 20 years old driving truck up here as soon as he turns 21 and he'll be crossing the border into the US too and uh there's guys at keystone who have been working there longer than he's been alive and now he's here trucking with us he's a great guy I like him I gotta have him over for barbecue this summer uh he's gonna go places he I like to see young guys like that because I remember when I was 20 I did not have that same mindset if I had the mindset that he had right now and going good hard worker good kid man I'd be a lot further I probably have my house built I probably have a second house built who knows probably own a fleet of 10 trucks or something uh did I get your letter in the mail yet Christopher it must still be on the way or maybe it's there I'll have to go check I don't think I've gotten one from you yet but uh I'll keep checking the day I hate your two years for your license the day I will apply to Keystone that's awesome Matt uh if you want to it doesn't hurt to apply earlier too I mean two years is the the standard that we asked for for experience and and that's because we haul all of that specialized freight right where we want to make sure that the guys who are hauling like uh this very valuable specialized stuff know the basics of what they're doing right they but we do hire less than two years experience too it's not a rule set in stone I mean look at Caden we hired him with uh I think he had a he's been driving truck for a year now or has it been two years off to ask him again but uh he wanted experience in flat bedding and we trained him up we took him on to our city crew and we had a guy to run with him for about six weeks or was it three months might have been three months trained him up in uh how to tie downloads how to chain downloads brought him up and uh mentored him into the position he's in now now he's out on his own doing city work he's doing some regional work now he's got a sleeper on his truck so he's doing some overnights and we're slowly you know gonna broaden his horizons and he can haul anything I can haul now so he's done really good he's done really good so it is on a case-to-case basis don't think that just because uh oh we need we say two years experience on there that that is the standard but it's a case-by-case business we're we're not gonna throw your resume out because you throw because you have a gear experience or something just as long as you got something this doesn't hurt to apply a little earlier and and if the answer is maybe not right now the answer isn't no it's maybe maybe just not right now you can come back later you must be new here jagie uh do i meet any indian drivers you mean like east indian drivers well here in canada yes there are lots of east indian drivers absolutely uh lots if you
