This guy is the ultimate trucker. He does it all while driving figuring routes out etc. trucking isn't easy. If I can't sleep at night throw on a video and listen to that truck purr and I'm out.
Must be nice knowing Toronto roads. I seemed to be always kind of lost when i was OTR(Canada & USA), lol, new places all the times. Your backing skills are awesome. Keep doing what you do best Driver.
This guy is an absolute legend!! Just found your channel and definitely subscribed it's an art the way you drive that thing. Dude was probably taking a pic bc he couldn't believe you were there😂 I've been watching all these trucking channels bc I'm about to start CDL school and I'm pretty damn excited to have found your channel man thank you. Time to binge you're an absolute legend man holy crap lol👍🏻
The car at ~37:55 is a Ford Sierra XR4i (also known as the Ford Merkur XR4ti in the US) - it was the "normal" performance variant of the Sierra family car - there was also two even more powerful versions (Sierra RS Cosworth and Sierra RS500 Cosworth). It was highly successful in touring car racing in Europe in the late 80s, and also won the World Rally Championship in 1988 in a 4x4 version :)
I felt like this was me at work driving my semi down the same route. I could hear the stress in your voice at the bridges and turns. Gotta love those stress points. It was fun watching the video and not feeling the stress myself for once just enjoying the ride.
First time here ,my husband is a local truck driver for 10 years now and he loves it .I have being in to work with my husband and love it very much .have a nice day !!!
I ‘ am sure glad your driving Matt. I didn’ t know you were pulling a B - train with construction. material very good backing manuvere now your ready. for the Ice roads north of. Yellowknife too the remote mines in the northern NWT / keep on. trucking and if you go up there with your Peterbilt 379 make sure you got a good set of triple chains , winter front and belly. tarp and you additive for winter fuel. in the tractor. because it. gets pretty cold. - 40 or colder hard on equipment / keep on trucking. / Bill S
You’re an absolute joy to watch. I’m a truck driver for Sysco. I absolutely love the thrill of driving truck. Watching you make that right turn around the bus I could feel your excitement! 😂 I love that. You’re “WHOOOOO” after making the turn is me all day. Driving for sysco you gotta park and drive where no truck should ever me and all day long your hearts racing and the excitement is alive 😂😂 nothing in the world better than trucking!!! Your an amazing driver!! Defensive driving rather than having that typical trucker ego. I love it. You’re a breath of fresh air in the industry. Not to mention a beautiful truck sir

Your talent is remarkable. Smooth shifting and so calm under pressure. And so easy on the truck
As a Professional driver of some 26 years, I found your one-shot into that yard, phenomenal. If you always drive sanely, and assume that all other drivers, will do the dumbest thing possible, you’ll be ready when they do. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe.
Bro you are amazing! I drive downtown for work and also live downtown. Your patience and skill is unmatched, if you ever need routing or advice or an extra truck to block traffic let me know! Keep up the amazing work. I always wanted to drive big rigs, but my uncle who does it talked me out of it. I drive for TTC, love the respect on the buses you have!
You are awesome man. Very old school remind me alot of my dad before he turned his CDL in. He was one of the best and you are also sir. There are not many people left in the trucking world that care for the art of trucking, and do it just for a paycheck and it shows. Amazing driver and great attitude. Keep it up sir!
37:52 Hey 👋🏻 it is a Ford Sierra XR4i a 2.8 L V6 with 150 hp (series). The Ford Sierra XR4i was built from around 1983, and there were only about 29,400 units worldwide. It was manufactured at the Ford plant in Genk, Belgium. Enough about Ford - you're a smart guy with a cool Peterbilt! It's fun to watch you work! Greetings from Germany! 🇩🇪 😎✌🏻
@@MultiFreeMan1111 Hey! Yeah, cool, I've learned something new again. I actually only know the European version! Thanks for your addition! Ford still installs a 2.3L engine in the Mustang or the Focus RS today. Have a great day!
I thought I was good at driving a four door pickup with a 8 foot box and and 14 foot trailer downtown and backing into driveways minding my space and avoiding everything thats thrown at you. But you are the master of it all hands down.
It was nice talking to you, although only for a second, on the CB. As i said, it must be nice to have power and be open. My Pete has a Paccar, no power and castrated to 103 tops. Even empty, i lose power up the Wooler, Kingston, Port Hope, etc. I use to take that Yorkdale exit all the time with a 53' van trailer
I live 8 hours north of Toronto so im not used to driving down there. When I go im stressed out the entire time, I couldnt imagine drving a truck and trailer. Awesome video!
The Ford that you saw was a German built compact based on the European Ford Sierra and sold in Canada as a Merkur XR4Ti in the late 80s. It wasn't popular and was gone in 5 or 6 years.
I once watched another one of your videos where you delivered a load to the same location, and I never forgot about that. I drive an ambulance in Toronto and sometimes it gets really hairy and sketchy, but I always think about that ONE particular video of yours that I watched, and it somehow makes me feel better. Your videos are really cool. Thank you for making them!!!
I did downtown toronto in a western star with a long nose and sleeper at my last company, now im doing it in a daycab cascadia and I still hate going to downtown T.O. lol
I drive for Timmies...(20+yrs now big rig drivin) mostly in Scarborough and the downtown core....it’s fun to drive along as I’ve been on all those roads....and no one quite gets the stress of bridge heights...especially in the middle of TO and just north of Lakeshore Rd....oh, and the joys of ppl letting you in. They aren’t so friendly around King and Spadina 😞. I’ll wave if i see ya! We’re limited to 95 so i won’t be passing you anytime soon in the GTA. Rubber side down and drive safe!
Hey dude youre one coolest person up here.. my cousin is a trucker. And you show alot how this work is done. Im afraid to do this job but will probably have to
Sweet Merkur XR4Ti at the end there.... Had an 86 and then an 84 between Winnipeg and Vancouver. Another great video Matt! You're a fricken eh wizard with em super B's eh 😎🤙🏻 Keep it up. Best of luck making cash through this shit 👊🏻
As far as I know, this was the first video of yours that I've seen and I got up to you setting up at the receiver when I realized you had b-doubles. Dont know why I didn't notice earlier. fantastic driving!
Hallo Matt Es ist tatsächlich lustig, das jeder LKW Fahrer, der in einer fremden Gegend unterwegs ist, immer aufgeregter wird,je näher er seinem Ziel kommt...😂😂. Es geht also nicht nur mir so.....🙈 ...ich verfolge mehrere Kanäle von Truckern und jeder hat diese sehr menschliche Art, das macht dich doppelt sympathisch..!!! Und vom fahrerrischen.......keine Frage....mit nem B-Train durch die Stadt und dann noch die Abladestelle.......meine Hochachtung!!!! Den weißen Ford, den Du entdeckt hast, war ein Ford Sierra XR4i, das war in den 1980 jahren ein Auto, was in einer Rennserie, die bei uns DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft) eingesetzt wurde. Um solch ein Fahrzeug als Rennfahrzeug einsetzen zu dürfen, war an die Hersteller die Vorgabe, das von dem Auto eine Mindestmenge von zum Beispiel 10.000 Stück als Variante für den normalen Straßenverkehr verkauft und zugelassen gab. Du fährst doch auch einen Drifter als Hobby..??!!......dann schau doch mal bei YT nach: DTM-Rennen, Ford Sierra oder BMW M3, Mercedes 190 EVO...... Danke für die tollen Bilder der Stadt!!!! Gruß aus dem Weserbergland Matthias
I drive an extended ford transit and always try to merge over to make space for trucks, it's mindblowing how many people cut trucks off as they're trying to accelerate up a hill
Trucks in the Netherlands thanking people helping them manoeuvre usually quickly flicker their emergency lights once or flip their turning lights left-right-left and off again.
That car you saw was based off the Ford Sierra from Europe, Ford Merkur XR4Ti was sold in North America from 1985 to 1989. It used the same engine from the 1983 Mustang Turbo GT & Thunderbird Turbo coupe a turbocharged cast iron block inline 4 cyl.
Hey bud, loving these videos! Can I maybe ask if there's a way for you to explain to us newbs to the trucking world, how you exactly get hauling jobs, who your Fleet Manager is, what your pay is, how your hours work, all those details as to help us better understand, because to be honest, I think truck drivers are very overlooked and unappreciated. Have a good one!
I just watched you take my commute home, turn for turn. This was awesome, I can vouch this route is definitely one of the worst in the city seeing you learn it was wild. Some of the worst drivers Haha
Okay, this isn’t about you, well…in a way it is. It’s directed toward your parents. After initially watching a few of your videos including ones with the addition of your parents. I have to commend them for raising a son who shows respect to other truck drivers, is courteous to other vehicles, has friendly PG videos without derogatory remarks or crude language and has informative entertaining commentary in each video. His upbringing is evident in each video. So, thank you to your parents for the morality you exhibit and Matt, keep doing what you’re doing and you will go far with this venture and in life. This is coming from a 73 year old great grandmother who enjoys the videos….and is a 70s-80s music rocker!!!
Dont be shy, blare that air horn. starting to hate Gta/peel driving. I don't even rig haha! - love the sound of the truck and great driving skills! *also awesome to se you didnt have to unload the trailer or your forklift, nice to see a helping hand from others \m/ !
Would you consider putting some shiny caps on your trailer wheels? I grew up watching my dad always having them on his trailer wheels I loved it 😁💖 your an amazing driver!! I really enjoy watching your videos 💖💖 keep on Truckinn, stay safe!
