Finnish Trucker Visits America! First Impressions of Peterbilt Semi Trucks 

"You gotta talk more" Bruce, he wouldn't be finnish if he wasn't quiet like that 😅

That's a genuine Finnish expression

Small talk is not for us. You're better with it. We observe and learn. 😂 Hello from Finland. 🤣

Poor Ville. Probably heavily jetlagged and he has to put up his A game with all this constant small talk around him. He'll be alright in a day or two, and he wouldn't have flown there if it was unpleasant. Looking beyond the more shallow characteristics, what you got in Finns (usually) is honesty and dependability like no other. Ville seems exactly the kind of guy.

Got yourself a good set of buddies/workers and life. Why i keep seeing negative comments is beyond me keep up the great content my dude, love from United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Great to see he came to the US. He seems to be a great guy. Keep up the great work buddy 👍

This is the content that we want to see. Worldly. Genuine. In your lane.

I hope Ville had a good experience here in the USA, and that he has safe travels home 👍

Cool to see Ville again and hopefully enjoying some American trucks. Maybe one day we can see Bruce in Finland / Ylivoimala again where Ville can show him around.

Hello Ville from a Swede in Florida. Nice to see Ville again, but I could feel his pain and being polite about the us trucks, they all look cool with chrome stuff and all, good long frames for high speeds and durability for long hauls. But there are 30 years behind the EU trucks, US trucks need to be more fuel efficient and handle 120k pounds at the same time and have a better frame/body engineering. Compare trucks for two different worlds its like compare apples and oranges, I bet he had a blast going on the road trip and see different states on his visit.

Bruce : ”Ville , you need to talk more !” 🤣 Ville ; you’re the best ! Hi 👋 from Sweden 🇸🇪

We do have those kind of trailers in Europe. And even bigger ones too. But those type of trailers are for exeptional transport and are used for loads up to 400 tons (metric). But for the loads that the trailer in the video is rated for, we use smaller and shorter trailers for that in Europe.

Nice to see a new video! Finnish people are quiet most of times haha, i like the detailled filming of some cool trucks over there! Good luck with moving.

Nice to see Victor over here

Ville going back in time :-)

Welcome to America 🇺🇸

It was nice that Finland's Ville was able to visit you. It is allways nice to see reactions from finnish guy.😂 To see normal regular life and things gives much more than visit in some truck shows, at least for me.

The finish dude is happy my ex a good woman is a finn. they don't show much emotions I got friends here from there same attitude. I will say the older truck builder with the convertible turbo is different. you'll find one once and a while that will talk your ears off😂 had a great trip i can tell. He got the conventional Bug for sure. And he's right strong young man like him can easily open a hood with one hand. And could tell he likes the clean look ,not a million wires and huge square tanks. He was pumped really was excited seeing so many trucks. hope he can see some Freightliners, KWs, Internationals my favorite 😊

14:06 seen a trailer similar to that here in Italy, we do have them, but you only see them for very exceptional transport, when I've seen it it was transporting a giant industrial generator

For sure an exotic and very interesting experience for Ville. As a Swede I do not find Finns to be very quiet but I have some expericence with Finns not talking Swedish during the day. But then in the evening after dinner and some beverages I realised they were all speaking fluent Swedish. I like your videos Bruce, in particular with the comparison to the european trucks. You are good at talking while filming. One little criticism I have is that you move the camera a bit too fast for me.

So cool to see ville now in the US

Keep it up Bruce, your boys and employees need u

Bruce if you want to see more fancy European trucks you got to travel south of Nordics. The three main styles of customisation: - Scandinavian style. - Dutch style. - Greek style.

You should come to The Netherlands for the truckshow ‘Truckstar Assen’ one of the biggest truckshows in Europe with trucks from all over Europe

yeah its good to see him visit you in america he can see what its like in USA.

Saw you at the Cracker Barrel in Cookeville Saturday. Wanted to say “hi” but didn’t want to bother you. Welcome to TN my friend.

dude picked a Finnish person to sound opinions and talk.

Was great to see him come Over to the US.

🎉nice crew that sticks together

These american trucks are so interesting, please do more videos like this where you showcase different trucks and talk about their specs

Yes we have trailers that big and bigger in Europe, just search allelys, ALE, Heanor, etc We also have a lot of self propelled modular units that you can join together to build a perfect spec Each axle will be able to turn and lift / drop independently

I've actually seen Peterbilt trucks in Germany on the autobahn back when I was driving trucks for the Army. I'm sure they had as much trouble as I did in some places. The trucks we drove were 915-A2 and later A3s. They were basically freightliners with no sleeper pulling flat beds that were either covered with tarp, left open, or loaded with conex containers. The civilian Petes I saw were hauling standard looking flatbed trailers as well. Also, they have plenty of oversized loads to haul over in Europe as well. I've seen them hauling cranes and other oversized equipment on the autobahn many times. The truck drivers always seemed to be pretty mad at us 915 truck drivers since we had a lower speed limit that is always enforced, even on the autobahn. Our max allowed speed was 80kph which is 50mph. We weren't always able to safely pull to the side and let folks around either, especially depending on what we might sometimes be hauling. To say some of the stuff we hauled was hazardous was well... an understatement at least. But anyway, there are plenty of big trucks with massive loads in Europe. Maybe you should do a little exchange and see the difference. That sounds like a great video. I enjoyed the video. Great work! 👍

Safe travels villaye please come back again

Awesome job guys.

Awesome to see he came over to you :DDDD

I'm visiting Tennessee this summer can't wait 🤪

Stay safe out there buddy. God bless you!❤

Welcome to Cookeville, your new house looks awesome

Did you show Ville the bomb 💣 shelter at the shop, Bruce??? 🤠

good evening Bruce!

You need to get Ville having a go in one!

keep the clips coming

Thanks for sharing

That flat top sleeper is dope af.

Did Ville get to do test drive? Would be interesting to hear his impressions and comparison between European trucks.

Nice tour of cool trucks!

Good friends are always willing to help.Used to drive 500 miles to help my best friend in his shop for a week,some of my best memories especially when he is no longer with us.Would not trade those times for anything.💪👍

Wish you luck up there brother. I'm coming to visit soon

First! Because I’m your mom! Love ya babe! Love Mom 🥰😘

A fella that hauls feed with us has that new root beer color and it’s pretty sweet. Looks nice when it’s shined up

You guys are great releif to the life of trucking yall just do what yall have been doing just continuie enjoying yourselfs 🙂

Interesting that Peterbilt still have standing clutch pedal through the floor. The first truck I drove, a Scania 110 super something like 1970 years model had that, just some year later they got hanging pedals.

The scany boys in town so a take it your gone build the FSC channel ? Defo looking forward to the x3 scannys

Hey great video as always it's nice seeing all off them Peterbilt's some off them had really cool looking paint job done too them I really hope that your brother Aaron will come and work for you again because he has his CDL so that he can drive the Tratter Taxi while you drive Brutus and your friend from Finland doesn't really talk that much I hope that Ryan feels better soon.

I've been close to that Lambo before and it's a sort of rallie edition, adjustable ride height with a high off road setup and all kind of reinforcement plates and solutions to make it an off road. It's basically a rallie car supercool.

Some nice trucks there I wish I had

I was hoping for a Peterbilt factory tour

you are located in Florida Bruce I Heard you say something about punta Gorda Bruce I stay in Immokalee Florida Bruce my family harvest tomatoes and watermelon 🍉🍉 plus they Hauled everything Bruce God bless you brother and your Crew brother take care on the road and God bless you and your family brother have a blessed trip and enjoy your trip brother keep up the good work brother.

Yeah that red truck you showed him reminds me of a smiley face ford transit in terms of materials and build quality

Hi Bruce another great video 👌 you asked your finish friend about the big trailers in Europe well check out Allelys Haulage in the UK or Mammoet for monster trailers also possibly Colletts 🤔

When can the FIN dude drive the trucks like you did in Finland? Was looking forward to seeing his reactions.

Scania is my favourite truck to drive all day, and but if I had the choice of which American truck to spend the day in, I'd choose the Peterbuilt. Some awesome gear in the workshop. Watching in New Zealand

Welcome Ville on this side of the pound!

We have trailers like that in the UK for heavy haulage

Shout out to Aaron hes come a long way!

I noticed you left your truck in the fuel island when you went in to the truck stop

Lindamood heavy trailer is, likely, for the massive transformers. Secondary steering front and back

Tell that man that's from Finland my dad's family is originally from Finland

They do have some pretty long trucks and trailers in finland also, 34.5 metres long so not only usa has big trucks and trailers.

got a headlight out on tractor 🚕

Hi Bruce

I know who makes all the lights for trux accessories and the manufacturer in China has a website that anyone can purchase lights from for less than half the price trux accessories sells them for.

They haul large generators on those trailers. They are built less than a mile from my house. They come by here almost daily.

I wouldn't be who I am today 40 years later if it wasn't for my Finnish friend in high-school who got me ourside my comfort zone all of the time while saying the least amount of words needed. From building our own mountain bikes out of dumpster parts and riding across states at 15 to learning how to rapell which i still do. He was the crazy guy who locked his bike in the tree tops at high-school where we met. Kimmo, if you see this reach out. He's probably up a tree somewhere while I'm moving trees. I'll never be Finnish crazy but it's fun trying.

Yo Bruce? Why you gotta be putting your homi fingers all over your buddy's clients trucks and wait until Troy Massey finds out.😂

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love

Welcome to USA Ville

Hey bruce you need to get amber back on so she can tell us what she thinks about the move especially since you had finally just let her buy a house that she had been wanting…. Im just curious what she thinks or has to say lol lol

Not Keen on the one-piece windscreen. The windscreen reminds me of the Ford L9000

Don't mind Ville's lack of parlance. He's a typical Finn; quiet and stoic. 100% sisu. Just beware when the Salmiakkikoskenkorva flows tho... He'll turn into Mika Luttinen in no time flat.

Super cool video 🖐️👍👋🥰🇨🇿😉

Wish I got to see Ville drive a Pete! Maybe next time!

Bruce, you should come to Finland In summer, totally different than winter and maybe visit In Power Truck Show In Alahärmä... 🤔

There’s nothing unusual about the big Beam Trailer. We have them in Europe for carrying really heavy stuff like Transformers.

Nice 👍

"Worked that trailer all by myself" "OH HAVE YOU" shots fired lol

Love the content Bruce, But why you don’t expand to other shops that’s doing other custom trucks , I would love to see some content on other kinds of show trucks , You would be the first on RU-vid to do this

Good shit in finish is Hoover puscar.

We powder coated 2 steel trailer frames big mistake moisture gets under the coating and you realize how bad it is until it’s too late sandblasted both trailers now and painted them

Get the split tank for your hydraulic

Brian, When Bruce called U by yr name I thought... THAT'S NOT BRIAN,Never saw U w/o yr hat! 🤠

Bruce is not a camera guy . He moves the camera every seconds that we cant see anything. You need a cameraman dude.

that’s jake lindamoods low boy

Hi, there is youtube channel called Appalachian Finn, he is finnish truckdriver in USA, and drives truck across the USA.

I know your tired 😴 Bruce relocated to a new state and new 🏠 home & all 😊

Im out of work but looking to get back at it here soon then i will beter be able to buy stuff from the store to hep support the chanel unless yall gona put me to work 🙂

The black and white day can is Greg truck

Hey, you mentioned Punta Gorda. Lol

I think they actually found a way to make the 589 look somewhat decent 😂

I have a CDL, owner of a truck too, what I meant is like I wrote its hard to really compare two different markets, BUT you get a better milage in EU by the actually loaded carried weight, its different getting 7mpg or so with a load of 120k or even 150k pulled by one Scania with 770 hp compared to getting 7mpg or so with 80k load only with a 455hp US truck. United States has a lot to learn. Here we can only load 12k+34k+34 without a permit, its a waste of fuel for everyday trucks.
