@@josephgilson1747 Thanks for the suggestion! We’re actually planning to bring him on the podcast-it’s just a matter of the stars aligning. Keep an eye out for that one!
I watch Josh's TH-cam vids every day. I like Josh as a person. Also love his professionalism. He's a good ambassador for our industry. We definitely need more like him
Very good interview Josh.. You come accrose as a very honest man.. Who's passionate about his tucking job. I watch your program till you run out of episodes.
Thank you for the great feedback! Josh’s honesty and passion really shine through, and we’re glad you enjoyed the interview. We appreciate you tuning in and hope you keep following along for more episodes!
i.ve been a subscriber to josh on you tube from his very beginning. I have said on many occasions that josh is an inspiration to every up and coming truck driver. His channel goes in depth about load safety. weight distribution. trailer and vehicle checks. the list goes on. As josh stated truck driving is classed as an unskilled worker yet we are classed as professional drivers
It’s amazing to hear how long you’ve been following Josh’s journey! He truly sets a great example for aspiring truck drivers and highlights the skill and professionalism it takes to be in this industry. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
I'm from Arkansas USA and Josh was first blogger i met. Way back I took hazmat totes from Mexico to Saguenqy QC and the lady didn't know English well and I didn't know French so we both communicated in what broken Spanish we both knew. Lol Like y'all said, we are All more similar different!!!
What a great story! It’s amazing how resourceful people in the trucking industry can be when it comes to communication. You’re absolutely right-we’re all more alike than we are different. Thanks for sharing that experience!
Absolutely, Josh hit the nail on the head! Southern Manitoba really is a key hub, connecting so many major routes. Glad you enjoyed that part of the conversation!
I'm 68 and have been following Josh almost from the beginning. Watched the brake downs flat tires getting hit in truck stops. When his fuel jelled and he and Diesel had to a hotel in Sib zero temps and many other adventures. I gotta admit I first started watching because of diesel but then that Josh grew on us. Some may not understand but Josh gave Diesel a voice and sometimes they would talk back and forth. Kinda like Jeff Dunham with his puppets. Latter on when he married Britt she had a wiener dog and then they got another wiener called commander and then a big mix lab? Named Chevy. All the dogs have there own voice. It's funny how he can keep the right voice with the right dog. I watch for the day commander gets Chevys voice. Lol It's a unusual vlog but you get hooked. Now he and Britt Theo both there moms and dads and sisters now are like extended family. Like when Josh's dad was in the hospital with fauchi ouchy. We were praying for his recovery. Family.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt comment! Josh, Diesel, and the whole crew have definitely built a special bond with their followers, and it’s amazing to hear how much their journey has resonated with you. From the adventures to the voices for the dogs, it’s clear that they’ve created a unique connection with their audience. We’re grateful for your support and the sense of family that’s been built along the way!
In Driver's Ed we are only taught to think about stopping distance for cars. Really they should include the information about trucks on the road as well. It's a safety issue for everyone. Thank you to all the truckers as we all depend on you to our food and other goods. Stay safe
You’re absolutely right-understanding truck stopping distances is so important for road safety. Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for recognizing the hard work truckers do to keep us all supplied. Stay safe out there, too!
Thanks for the kind words! Josh really does have a natural way with words. We’re definitely lucky to have him, and we’ll keep looking for ways to showcase his talents!
Trucking need to be recognized as a trade nationwide. Way too easy to get the CDL. I did a 5 months professional training in Quebec's CFTR school, which is a provincial government school. I think other provinces are looking at Quebec's model to modify their minimum training requirement to get a CDL. As You say, this is very dangerous. I feel I got a good training (started truck driving in feb 2024), but I (still) apprehend the winter's coming.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear about the comprehensive training you received in Quebec-it sounds like a strong model for improving safety and professionalism across the industry. Winter driving can definitely be challenging, but it sounds like you’re well-prepared. Stay safe out there!
You're absolutely right! Just like in any trade, safety protocols are crucial to ensuring everyone’s well-being on the job. It’s something we all need to prioritize to keep our workplaces safe.
No one should get a drivers license without 3-4 days driving a loaded truck. (Can do this now that trucks are available with auto trans). People are such non attentive idiots we would have to do this training on a closed course.
You’re right! Auto transmissions make it easier to get behind the wheel and focus on the road. extensive hands-on experience with a loaded truck could definitely help drivers better understand the challenges they’ll face. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Haha, you caught me! It’s always a bit nerve-wracking interviewing someone as experienced as Josh, but it was such a great conversation. Thanks for listening and for the support!
You need to get a trucker who go by the rules he park in fuel island instead of in parking lot he drives in middle lane doing 61 mph he going get someone kill in middle lane instead of getting into right lane drives with his bright lights on instead of dim he need to show more custody
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Safety on the road is always be high on everyone's mind, and we understand the importance of following the rules and driving responsibly. We appreciate your input and always encourage safe and respectful driving practices for everyone.
Thank you for having me on!
It was our pleasure, Josh! Thanks for sharing your journey and insights with us. We loved having you on the podcast!

Your right Josh. Southern Manitoba is probably the biggest trucking center in Canada. Seems like it's where East meets West and north meets south.
Absolutely, Josh hit the nail on the head! Southern Manitoba really is a key hub, connecting so many major routes. Glad you enjoyed that part of the conversation!
Well said.......
Thank You for watching. :)

Very articulate, Josh. You are a natural and Keystone should find more ways to use your talents.

Thank You.
Gotta get Andy the Kenworth guy on the pod.
Thank you for the suggestion.
It’s something we’re working on!
Keep an eye out
@Andy the Kenworth Guy, might be joining us in the future!

Trades have safety protocols

You forgot that MB has the largest mosquito in the world lol
Haha, you're absolutely right! Southern Manitoba definitely has some giant mosquitoes to match its trucking reputation. Thanks for the fun reminder!

You got that right. Can you imagine getting some of these idiots trying to navigate 18 gears ?
Poor guy was a nervous wreck talking to you Josh
