Salamat for the peaceful ride through the coquihalla! There’s a great video showing the building of this highway. “ The Coquihalla: 20 Months Through the Mountains” I’m glad it’s not a toll road anymore!
@@filipinotruckercanada5997 thanks 🙏🙏🙏 you are welcome to come back again and don't forget to visit my city is khenifra in center 😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️Atlas mountains
but u definitely got fucked up at snowy roads... especially at Coquihalla where the Assholes just wait for Truckers to put chains on and clean roads for commute... I m Long Hauler... have seens these Motherfuckers running their Snowplowers running wasting Diesel and doing Nothing... Welcome to BC...
Awesome.. I am a Kenyan and truck driving has always been a passion. Any leads on how one can be a truck driver in Canada. Any assistance is highly appreciated.
There's a lot of break checks.. Never heard of that here in Finland.. I started driving trucks in the late 70 's.. Now I drive bus..ako si Stefan.. Taga Finland ko.. 😇
@@filipinotruckercanada5997 & @roysoderlund3185... Brake checks are not only a "Canada Policy" as @filipinotruckercanada5997 so erroneously responds. Brake checks are mandatory requirements both in Canada and the United States. We find them both, within the Rocky Mountain States and Canadian Provinces, but also in the East of the continent, notably in Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont and Maine, as well as in Northern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador. However, the main purpose of a Brake Check is hopelessly lost on the so-called "professional" driver,s including @filipinotruckercanada5997! In fact, I would recommend that the next time he takes that mandatory stop at such a location, he walks over to the white/yellow sign posted (and visible on a few of these stops in his video). These signs describe quite clearly what components the driver must verify during this stop, i.e. it's mainly an "in-cab Air Brake Verification", in as much that the driver must check... a) if the air-compressor is able to generate sufficient compressed air in the system within a prescribed period of time (which differs for a single-vehicle lorry, a lorry for a pup or full trailer, or a tractor with a single semi-trailer or a tractor with two or more semi-trailers. b)...pump-down the brake supply to the level when the low-air warning buzzer & gauge-light activates; raise the idle to 1,100 RPM and check how long it takes from when the air-pressure gauge needle is at 80 psi until the governor kicks-out at between 120 and 125 psi. On a single lorry, it may not take longer than 2 minutes, on a truck & trailer or tractor and 1 semi-trailer, the maximum time is 3 minutes and on a combination with two trailers that limit is 4 mins. c)...with full air-pressure gauges (between 120 and 125 psi), perform a full-brake application and hold the pedal down for 1 minute sharp. Check how much air has leaked from the system within that 1 minute (i.e. 60 seconds)? Again, the limits are 2 psi for a straight truck (single lorry); 3 psi for a truck and trailer or a tractor with 1 semi trailer, and no more than 4 psi for a tractor with 2 semi-trailers. d)....check the proper working of the tractor-protection valve. (this is required in case the trailer glad-hand becomes separated from the tractor's glad-hand). For the purpose of this verification, the driver must disconnect the (red) trailer supply airline from the tractor and verify if the (red) trailer parking-brake button on the dash in the cab pops out, i.e. closes the valve (before the tractor looses too much of the compressed air in the system). It pains me to state that @filipinotruckercanada5997 didn't perform this mandatory series of verification once during each of the brake-check stops, which was evident because one could not hear the increased idle of up to 1100 RPM, and one could not hear the low-air warning buzzer! Only if the tractor passes all these tests, may the driver continue his journey. For all intents and purposes, drivers are supposed - by regulation - to perform the in-cab air-brake system verification during their daily vehicle inspection "at the first change of duty-status past midnight" (which, usually, coincides with the shift-start time).....but, it's my experience as a 37-year fleet-driver trainer that very few drivers actually do perform that test.....but, if they get pulled into a road-side enforcement check, and the officer decides to perform a so-called CVSA Level-1 inspection, the driver will be forced to perform that test....needless to say, if the driver is in the habit of performing that test, he'll know what to do without being mentored by the inspection officer. The idea of that mandatory brake-check is simply to ensure that as the vehicle descends a steep grade, and the driver isn't on the ball by choosing the proper speed, which will provide them the highest engine-compression to slow the vehicle down without needing to use the service-brakes, that will also allow the compressor enough power to re-generate freshly compressed air in the air-tanks and also in the parking-brake chambers (parking brakes require compressed air to release these brakes and keep them released, whereas service-brakes require compressed air to apply the brakes, but if the compressor isn't working properly, the driver will run out of air before running out of the grade, i.e. brake-loss. Alternatively, if the driver uses too much brake pressure, they run the risk of overheating the brake-drums, which results in brake-fade. Consider the foregoing as a "Public Service Announcement", since this description just saved you about $100 for a formal Air Brake Verification training ;-).
How does that brake checkpoints work? You stop only for a second, and if you stop succesfully, you start again; or you go out of a truck to check temperature of wheels and basic visual check; or there is some special metering/checking equipment?
You to go out the truck. Check for an air leak, and adjust the brakes by doing 6 full brakes applications and the brakes will adjust automatically then after the adjustment you need to visually check the push rod if the brakes are properly adjusted.
I tried to get a job as a trucker but they wouldnt accept my 5 year experience from EU. I was in Canada for 1 month and went to 3-6 interviews about trucking and I didnt success for the sole purpose I didnt have the canadian truck license.

Yes , we’re allow to play music. It’s just me not to play music , even before because I want to hear what is happening outside , specifically if there is unusual sound with my truck so that I can stop the truck right away.
@@filipinotruckercanada5997 You are gorgeous . You must be ready to accept the occurrence of any defect in the truck or any part of the truck, and to avoid ignoring it, you must be listening to all the sounds coming from the truck and the load that you have in the trailer. Well done and a comment.
you didnt stop for a coffee in Meritt? what kind of monster are you lol .. I always stop in Meritt for a coffee and a pee break before heading on to Kamloops
