Canadian Trucking Isn't What You Think 

I'd like to see a video about Canadian logging trucks, they're big, impressive vehicles and are interesting to talk about.

While I’m very happy you’ve covered my home country here, I’m also kinda disappointed you didn’t mention logging operations in British Columbia. Perhaps in the future we could get a video on Pacific-Northwest logging in general?

Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public.There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, maximize it

Im suprised a channel name Yukon isnt from Canada.

The highways here get so bad that we have 2 reality TV shows about truck rescue services in Canada. Heavy rescue 401 [Highway 401 in Ontario], and Highway Thru Hell [Coquihalla highway, BC]

Was just about to head to bed, what a nice gift.

one point of interest NOT mentioned is Canada runs HIGHER weights then the USA AND on the prairies they will pull 2 53 FT trailers with ONE tractor and a "conventional turn pike" set can weigh in around 141 thousand pounds

I live near the Canadian border, now I understand why all of those Canadian trucks are going so slow on the interstate.

Really cool video buddy! I'm from the UK and I'm hoping to come to either Canada or the USA, but first, I've gotta pass my trucking license over here and get me 2 yrs experience, before I can make the move. I loved your video, only issue is, it's too short! I was really getting into it and enjoying the content and then it finished..lol..Can we get a longer and more in depth version please? 😅

Keep up the great vids man!

Can we expect a Chinese Trucking video any time soon?

Awesome and video, can you please make a video about Italian and dutch trucking? I'd love to see a video from you about those 2 countries

A similar trip like Vancouver to Tuktoyaktuk would be like from Nuremberg, Germany, across Germany, Sweden and up to the North Cape in Norway, which is like one day trip further north than the Norwegian city of Tromsø which is about as far north as Tuktoyaktuk in Canada; Would be a 37 hrs long drive and a bit longer ferry ride in between Btw European long distance cabs have a bed, microwave, fridge and TV as well, but no doubt, they offer less space

I was literally just looking for a video from you about Canadian Trucking and look. They deliver

Interest point about trucking as a lifestyle here but a job in EU, I recently saw a clip about how it’s the exact opposite for heavy equipment operators, here it’s very much a job, barebone machines as they come off the line used in construction and farming, apparently in Europe, construction companies will outfit their loaders and backhoes to the 9s for comfort and style at the requested of the operators! It’s their machines they use it 10-12 hours a day!

i live in ottawa and that convoy was the worst they blocked off so much of the downtown core and made getting anywhere sheer hell

Just yesterday, there was something in the news about a trucker in Northern Ontario who committed 24 infractions in 24 hours. That’s dedication.

Love your videos. A bit short for my liking but it's not like you can do 40 minute documentaries of this topic.

Thanks for a wonderful series. Do you have a video on Australian truckers? Namibian and Botswanan truckers also lead adventurous lives. Zimbabwe is just plain terrifying

Canadian trucker here. It is a job for me. I run day cab with turnpike doubles between switch points. I hate paperwork.

During the freedom convoy, there was a guy that got so fed up with the noise that he went outside with a frying pan and a wooden spoon and smacked it for a long time no matter how many times people said to stop just to annoy them

Don't forget about the fact that one have one road connecting the east and the west. South Park nailed it with that one.

Really hope you cover trucking in mini Australia AKA trucking in Michigan with 42 wheelers

I'd like so see something about Ghanaian trucking would be very interesting

Wait, its not moose's dragging sleds through the snow. They actually have trucks?

I'm a Canadian trucker and I'd say you got most things right. I'd say the majority of the freight is east-west along the major highways or going south, 9/10 I'm on a divided highway. Since a lot of freight is does south of the border, we usually just use the US weight limits and tandem rules, since they're more restrictive than the Canadian rules. Quebec also has the 105 limiter rule :( I'm based out of Nova Scotia, and you can always tell who never needs to go to Quebec or Ontario because they'll be casually going down the highway at 120km LOL. US drive time rules are way more restrictive and limiting than Canadian, since they don't let you recap hours (system for keeping working without resetting) and in the US you must take a 30 minute break after 8 hours, while in Canada you can do your full 13 hour drive time in one 13 hour burst. As for weather, most companies will shut down trucks (order them to park and not move) in very poor weather. It's VERY common. The convoy protest is also pretty controversial among truckers. A lot of truckers (especially those hauling the Michigan/Ontario auto makers) HATED it because it blocked roads which blocked them from making money. Every Canadian trucker I've met is either hardcore pro or anti, split about 50/50.

I have several years of driving experiences. i will be glad to explore my potentials in your country Canada, if given the opportunity.

I'd like to see one about Canada's towing industry

Man I love your vids, good to see ya back at it after the break

I'd like to see a video on canadas oil field, and logging trucks as the backroad trucking they do is also very intresting

How about a video about truckers who regularly use ferries? Maybe the Greek islands or something like that? Would be a nice truck meets ship episode

I’d like to see a video on Chinese trucking

Ah, we got my country. Thanks! I gotta deal with snow on my route today.

Nice video! I actually recognize some of the locations in the video from Alberta and BC! It's a great trip on the Trans Canada Highway

I love that freedom convoy simply because of how many people came together for the truckers. Good to know the people are united and a good reminder to corporations that they need truckers much more than truckers need them.

Thank you sir for this informative video

Still waiting for trucking in the Republic of Turkey

truckers in the British Colombia rocky mountains Will pass you at 130kph on a double solid. its pretty wild

so early. This is a monring treat usually.

Here in New Jersey USA on Route 78 you can see truckers hitting 90 mph and that is insane not only that, you will see the 3 highway lanes used at the same time cause not only truckers can use the slow lane and the middle lane but also the fast lane evenwhen is illegalto do so for them, every other week there is an accident, at the same time the truckers are not at fault cause there are tons of crazy driving here by regular car drivers that they think that the highway is a racetrack, it's a love-hate thing with truckers with me, I hate when they cut me off or take me out my lane or pass me over 90mph when I'm going 80mph, I love them cause without them I wouldn't have food or items to survive in this crazy world.

waiting for Malaysia since we had our own terms which is "pilot darat"(Land Pilot) which had alot of stickers at their mirror

Even in northwestern Ontario the logging or wood chip hauling are usually done with Western Star Trucks heavy spec 4 wheel lock and always liked big cat motors in them I always preferred westernstar trucks for Bush road heavy haul just built tough either hauling chips with super bs or 4 axle straight trailer for logs most if not all are hauled tree length on 5 axle or 4 axle usually licensed for 63 500 kgs and in winter get extra for snow build up a lot of mills lumber mills have closed so not much 16 ft logs just usually tree length soft wood or 8 ft soft wood I know the logging and chip hauling is always better in winter well when winter was winter you can get farther back when swamp roads freeze but this winter first green Christmas ever

Love your truckers , farmers and fishers, with out them there would be no food

A Mexico trucking video would be cool too. Not only are the roads narrow not maintained and unforgiving with big American trucks. Something worth mentioning, cartels or other groups of people make makeshift checkpoints and sometimes steal your load. I know someone it happened to personally lol

The North American trucks are also aesthetic. I guess growing up with has I have makes feel warming feelings see them though not when I'm driving/ride next them.

I'm Kenyan driver living My country for fifty years driving American trucks for ten years experience, like it. It comfortable for long distance.

i would love to see a video on norwegian trucking. i think its maybe the most challenging places to drive in western europe. due to steep and small roads. also in norway truck drivers drive standerd eu times. except tank drivers that collect milk from farms, and animal transport. due the need to get milk in the dairy factory to avoid that milk collects bacteria and welfare of the animals.

I'm a new driver but I do my best and learn as much as possible from the older truckers. Many of them have respect for other truckers, the highways and the trucks they drive. Let's keep this up were all in the shits out here together and just putting it out there, our highways are not a fucking racetrack.

Weird thing about the speed limiter. I've been passed by trucks on Canadian highways while going over 120km/hr and a quick google search shows it's not a requirement.

In that clip of the road at the last few seconds of the video, do you know where that is? I believe I know the exact location of that place and i’m super interested

Love these

You could cover Indonesian trucking next. I think it may be interesting because of the country's many islands and the overall difficulty of driving.

man why are these videos short wtf i want more.

You should make a video talking about Italian trucking

The one thing the Minister of Transport needs to really really work on is rest areas. Not talking about truck stops. Just simple rest areas. With just simple parking and washrooms. It is something America has Canada beat in. I drive Sudbury and back 3 times a week. Other then few truck stops there is no where to just stop and take a break safely. Stopping on the side of the road to take a break is not a safe place especially when you start getting into just 2 lane highways and people are travelling at speeds 90km/hr or higher.

Hey Yukon. I just wanted to ask if you can make a video on new Zealand truckers:) thank you for the good content you make bye

It is just few days since I started watching your videos. Being trucker my self I'd like to see consistent info in each video for every country you cover. For example in the video for India you gave info about truckers salary, but in this video for Canada you didn't.

The truckers in the freedom convoy are international heroes of freedom. This American salutes them!

I live in Alberta and a family friend of mine used to be a Trucker. I once travelled with them from Edmonton to Kelowna, passing through the Rocky Mountains. It was beautiful. This was about 15 or so years ago.

That was a good vid, thanks!

so it was exactly how I think it is, thanks for confirming

I watched highway through hell and decided based on that small tiny snippet of the entire country of Canada that it was terrible to drive there lol

I love your videos bro 👍👍

Should look into trucking in NZ, we transport about 93% of all freight on the road. Work big hours, move big gear, and are tiny. Fun times driving here I'll tell ya

I drove through the Yukon last summer. Spent about two weeks in Tagish and Whitehorse. Beautiful landscape.

1:37 European daily driving limit is 9h vs. 13h in Canada.

Have you done a video about Scandinavian truck driving

Do Finland / the Nordics, our HCT trucks are awesome.

120 kph on the coquihalla trucks too

Two things: it's hard to broach this topic without a mention of NAFTA. This bolsters the number of truckers in Canada due to the volume of freight that is manufactured in Canada and sold in the US. Also, Canadian truckers, after delivering their loads in the US, are welcome to pick up a backhaul to return to Canada. What they are NOT allowed to do is move freight point to point within the US. Interestingly, this is sort of a Jones Act flavored rule.

I was hoping for at least 1 Yukon reference in this video, I hope to hear it in the ice roads video :)

I have some friends who are truck spotters in Canada, from what I've been told the aftermath of the freedom convoy has not improved the relationship truckers up there have with the public, as most people living in the cities see truckers as dumb, dangerous, or unnecessary. Apparently Kenworth and Peterbilt drivers are at elevated risk of negative public/police interaction because those were the two brands of trucks most often seen at the demonstrations. To quote one of them, "anyone driving a fancy Peterbilt in Canada is public enemy number one". On a lighter note, Canada's truck manufacturing industry has a very interesting history, which most people don't know about. Many Canadian truck manufacturers had close ties to US or British manufacturers, either using their designs or using their parts. Sicard and Canada used cabs from Leyland and Dodge, respectively. Western Star had very close ties with White before leaving Canada, as did Garford with their American neighbors. And there's the trucks that Canada's most known for, their off highway logging trucks. I've heard it said that you can't call yourself Canadian if you don't know about and/or appreciate the trucks built by Hayes, Pacific, and Challenger. The off-highway logging truck manufacturers all died out by the late 90's, but the fact that a lot of them are still running after all this time is a testament to how well they were built and the craftsmanship of Canadian designers and assembly line workers. Additionally, American, French, and British manufacturers have all been active in Canada, creating a more well rounded market than what we have in America.

Yes! This is what I wanna see

You should really cover Trucker Cats because they are just adorable

The Alaska Highway would be cool

Cab you do Puerto Rico since is smaller than Jamaica?

i love u

0:51 that bridge is 10 mins drive from my home

i feel bad for truckers along the 401 who've seen the population shit over the past 3 years. So many more cars and inexperienced truck drivers on the highway now. Its very scary out there. I dont know how the OPP can handle the amount of flow thats currently taking place.

As always great video! Topic / Country idea: Germany / central Europe I think it would be interesting, as there is so many countries close together, the highway networks are generally very good and the distances between borders or cities are small. And I would also be personally interested as I spend quite some time in Germany. Also, the infamous Autobahn xD

I’d like to see more about German trucking

The absolute worst thing that North America ever did was downsize and get rid of it's rail network. In Europe you can go anywhere by train and it's cheap and simple. From big cities to small towns all over the place by rail. America and Canada used to have this too. Not anymore, not for decades. All that traffic and all that freight was put onto the roads.

Ice roads and logging! Thanks for giving Canada a well deserved video!

ser camionero en eeuu es un estilo de vida, en europa un trabajo, en sudamerica y otros lados sin buen desarrollo economico es muy triste

I'd love to see a video about Trolleybuses. This one was great as always!

As a Canadian myself, those "freedom truckers" are just a small prestige of the total truckers in Canada. They still tarnish truckers to this day.

Are they "Lot Moose/Meese" instead of "Lot Lizards" in Canada? They must do better with the warmer cabs.

My home

That Ontario limiter is news to me as I rarely see a truck below 115

Québec also has an equivalent law requiring 105 km/h speed limiters. If you're behind a truck on an open highway you can set your cruise control to 105 and never touch it again, which is neat. The annoying thing is when a trucker sets it to 106 km/h and spends all day in the left lane trying to pass another truck going 105.

Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I’m 40 (a retired driver) and my wife 34 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive incomee

The truck on your screenshot is the one I’m currently driving.

bit worried about the frequency of these uploads

i'd like a video on ocean trucking in the great conventional cabs O' the sea

Our trucks aren’t limited to 105, more along the lines of 135kph, but cruise control maxes at 105 so they got their wish😂

how about a video about how trucking and inland shipping beat freight by rail into non existence apart from some international routes

As someone from Alberta, I feel I should let you know that the national guidelines on speed are not followed or enforced here, and semis regularly reach 120-130km/h on the major highways.

❤❤❤❤❤ i love this

Way of the road bubs, way of the road

For whom the trucks honk. They honk for thee.
