That guy totally missed the fact tim was basically saying get the fuck off my fenders politely
gotta get shit done...thing's built for work lol
Yes, I seen that too…..he should have known that something like that is an (no step) zone. I’m sure those expensive boat trailers have “no step” stickers on the fenders
I couldn't believe that I was seein' that! I reflexively took a couple of swipes at the guy to knock him off heh, heh. If his job is loadin' and unloadin' trucks he should be very aware of where to step, and more importantly, where NOT to step. Maybe he's the kinda fella who ya just can't talk to when he's workin'.
Some guy in a company truck probably told him to stand anywhere so now he does.
As a Canadian Thank you for your visit. Enjoyed a front row seat from my couch. I’ve never seen the inside of a truck very interesting.
I knew soon they entered Canada they be speeding lol they figured out the speed quick at least
As a Canadian I was like a kid in a candy store trying to figure out what roads you were on, glad to see Toronto traffic gave you a warm welcome. keep her rubber side down shiny side up!
Yr dumb if you can't follow them from the bridge
Hi Tim, I just watched your first trip to Canada and I see you came to Lakefield. That is my home town. I've been following you for a couple of years now. I'm a retired trucker and love seeing old trucks being restored. Keep up the good work and hope you enjoy coming to the north.
Good day boys, Just a heads up, in Ontario the speed limit signs say 100/kph but most trucks run at 105 and the cops wont usually touch you under 115. Highway 401 is the busiest highway in North America. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Lots don't believe that theres a busier highway than in L.A.
@butwhytharum I figure most would think New York but LA would make sense too.
401 is hardly the busiest highway in north america bud, i guess you haven't been up and down the east coast of the u.s. or been to LA
@@jimburdin Do a quick Google search.
Just from my personal anecdotal experiences I wouldn't think 401 is the busiest in North America. Maybe through Toronto it's close but the 95 through NY and Washington is pretty bad too
Tim did not like that guy on his fenders🤣😂 we’re testing, a polite way of saying come on dude! Really!!
Tim another country it makes feel little nervous great watching you definitely thinking 🤔 gentry Sons Trucking is on the up and up great video thanks
It's so weird seeing you driving were I drive all the time. Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦
Where are you going ?...Ontario , LOL , it take's 2 days to drive thru Ontario Tim.
Unfortunately
@@jafo766 Yeah, Ontario is twice the size of Texas and bigger than many countries
@@FrankBullitt390 There is a great video of train running north/west out of the Soo , TRAIN 185, see a small portion of Northern Ontario , the lakes and leaning telephone poles go on forever.
@@jafo766 Done it, rode the via rail Canadian from Toronto to Vancouver, everyone needs to do it.
Glad your first trip in was good. I am a retired trucker 35 years. Your delivery was up in what is known as Cottage country.
Welcome to the great white north boys. Friendly place , nobody owns a pew pew, but we have great whiskey , hunting and fishing. Always read your signs going down the road and you’ll be just fine.
LOL TIM IT's Cheaper To Properly refurbish a clean new trailer then an old trailer you should honestly be trying refurbish every year pick one or 2 for every month you have in equipment 12 trailer 1 a one month 24truck and trailer well 2 a month, spot painting, blasting, inspect everything and no one can complain you always keep one truck and trailer ready for them to take for a month and premium everything once a month for a year go thru repaint and blend all the scratch's, nicks, dings, rust inhibitor, blast then spray inhibitor so it want rust ever again! Powder coat the wheels somebody got an old oven you can build the oven with that but new cost more! everyone complains about maintenance cost but if its kept up everyday its cheaper the longer they go like rust it grows and grows but when new it last years before needing work! Just maintain a New state and simple it will last forever!
Everytime I traveled to Canada, it was like having a mini vacation! Had fabulous experiences. 😅🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
Glad to see u made it to canada and to ontairo wish i would of seen u on the 401. Welcome to the 401 traffic jamb everyday.
U got that right , CAN,NUK,S DRIVER ARE BAD , 401 WHOOP,BE
Busiest highway in North America.
Hi Tim it’s been along time since I have texted you but I have been watching all your video’s, great to see that you and the boys at HSTubes are working together you both are on the same channel, they have done a great job on getting that Pete looking good keep up the great work Cheers from Auss Be Safe Buddy
I hope to see more of these trips into Canada mate
Hi Tim. I work at Waltron Trailers in Ridgetown Ontario Canada. Been watching your videos for some time now. I remember building these trailers back in late 1998-1999 when i first started at Waltron. We build very nice custom boat trailers! (And many other custom trailers) Would be nice to meet you when you take a tour of the shop.
Aaaa Tim welcome to Canada I live in Sarnia at the bridge crossing in joy
Love these sort of travel vlogs, good work thanks for taking us along :)
That bridge is a beast 💪
Canada is beautiful and amazing regardless of Truedildo 😂
Hello
The lake area you went through in Ontario near your drop-off point is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Huron via numerous inland lakes and rivers and incorporation several lift locks. It is 386km (240mi.) long and is used for recreational boating. The water is cold now, but in a few weeks you can swim in it through 'til Labor Day and some years later than that. Glad you liked one small piece of our Heaven.
Are serious, we saw how Canada hates truckers
Lol that oversize wasn't talking to u was he
That certainly is a beautiful part of this world. I briefly lived in Campbellford, ON, which is also on the Trent-Severn and they had a wonderful chocolate factory there. The whole town was as pretty as a postcard and smelled of chocolate...very special.
@@billcrawford9905 I can't believe that there are truckers who operate without one and then there are the ones who have one installed but run without using it. I know that they have saved me from more than one potential disaster and they used to be great for local directions and such too. ANNND ya get to talk real cool with yer echo turned way up, c'mon. Hahahaaa!
No shit Christopher Columbus 😂
I drive in canada and if he was stepping on my fenders like that. i sure would not be as nice as you. Plenty of other places to step.
I believe I would ask the guy standing on my fenders, please don’t step on my chrome of any kind! Work fenders or not! Piss me off!
Pretty cool to watch, north Port Huron area is old family stomping grounds. You are crossing the newer bridge built, when you come back on the old bridge built 85 years ago it's pretty cool feeling the bouncing steel; when there are several semis crossing from Canada back into Port Huron.
Hello
I wish you'd haul more big boats. Thats how i found your channel.
Great to see you guys up here. Welcome!
Hi guys! I'm in Nova Scotia but please allow me to welcome you to Canada. I realize that you were here and gone so I hope you enjoyed your time here. If you ever deliver into where I am in Nova Scotia I'll certainly try to catch up with ya and treat ya to some Nova Scotia seafood. Your border crossing and the chit-chat between you fellas made me think about my first truckin' trip into the U.S. Of A. in 1996. We're not really that different from each other.
I was wantin' to smack that fella offa your fenders, I can't believe he did that! I used to haul cars and, at first, we used the high-mount trailers (using regular 5th wheel position but moved to the back of frame) so shiny fenders were a concern then. The stinger units have the 5th wheel behind the tractor and down low and we load onto the tractor too.
I had my own trucks and trailers, and other businesses as well, and I believe that some of the best business deductions are reinvesting into the business to make it safer/more efficient/more enjoyable. What you said about findin' a trained boat hauler is the same as car haulers, when ya meet one who is trained properly and even has experience ya try to sign 'em up.
I always get a kick outta folks comin' from the south when they are surprised by our weather heh, heh. When I was a kid, in the 1970s, it was NOT unusual to see cars with southern U.S. plates and snow skies on their roofs...in July! It has been a few decades since I saw that one, though, and please don't think that I'm hatin' on my neighbours. I poke fun and laugh at myself more than I do anyone else, I believe if we can't laugh at ourselves it's probably time for some reevaluating heh, heh.
Those rate cutters can be found anywhere somebody else is actually working and earning an appropriate living. The thing is, they're only around long enough to ruin rates for the next ten years because their ways are not sustainable.
Did you know that the 401 Corridor, which you partially traveled, is the busiest highway in North America? I was surprised when I learned that. I'm glad you had a successful venture here in the "Great White North" heh, heh. Keep 'em between the ditches with yer shiny sides up and keep on keepin' on, folks.
Oh yeah charged with assault I'm another country great idea
@@WillChandlerFLD120 I said that I wanted to smack the fella, not that Tim should. I think you must have misunderstood me.
Wait for 50 below and living inside a freezer for 8 months of the year! There is a reason that so many snow birds move south! I grew up a few hundred miles from Canada and remember bone chilling cold and 10 foot snow drifts !
12:10 you guys drove right by my work on the right hand side and home town that's so cool!!!!! Sorry about the traffic Safe travels enjoy your stay and come back for a vacation with the family. Cheers
I got a little anxiety when I saw that guy standing on your fender 😅. You handled that better than me. Hauling boats seems like a pretty good gig.
I live in Ontario, last year I drove across Quebec and I will never complain about bad roads here in ontario again.
I’ve been through there many times we used to go to Manitoulin island every year for a couple of weeks to go fishing and we would always take are ranger bass boat with us I miss going to Canada so ready to go back. I hope y’all enjoyed your trip!
I love your excitement coming to Canada. I live an hour east of your drop off location of Lakefield, in a little town named Madoc. This part of the province really is beautiful. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Tim glad to see your trip to Canada was great for you I love living in Canada somethings are great somethings are not hope you come over again maybe I can see you and shake your hand and go for a coffee take care stay safe G.Whyte
You're all liberals Id cross only if I had to. Then gtfo .
Got to cross in a bay just past Watertown ny easy in easy out
Welcome to our great country Tim, nice to see you come here finally .
The reason Michigan roads are so bad they allow semi trucks to have axles from front to back
welcome to Canada Tim the weather up here has been great for a while now. hope you enjoy it enough that you haul more up here.
Pre trip and end trip are so important for the longevity of your truck and trailers , my 82 w-990 A 3408 18 spd , big aerodyn sleeper 290 wheel base super 40s on kw 8 bag suspension, powerful , smooth , beautiful, and still shining like a brand new truck with some help from Jakes chrome shop 😊, that dang 389 sure looks crisp and new Tim , super nice edition to y’all’s fleet 👍🏻
82 w990 ? Never heard of that one, just sayin.
@@bonebusterpnw7181 my apologies a w-900 A of course pal , last year for the A models
Call up your cell service provider and get out of country service added to your plan. I got that added for when i went to Ca. It would be good to have atleast for calling, Im sure the wife would definately appreciate it.
You got Canada in the late spring with good weather you want see cold weather Canada look back at some of the Freedom Convoy videos that’s cold. Mind you for you folks the freezing point would be considered cold weather
As a resident in the Detroit area, hopefully you enjoyed it. We know our roads suck lol.
And rhe natives are dangerous
I love Detroit. I have crossed the Ambassador Bridge or the tunnel hundreds of times. I'm a car guy and a fan of Motown music and Art Deco architecture, so it feels very comfortable to me. But yes, agreed, the roads suck. LOL.
Welcome to Canada only a few minutes from where I live hopefully you come back soon
You guys just made me start missing my 379 extended hood dammit
That truck hauled Butane, Propane, and West Texas crude oil with me as the skipper for 3 years camping out in the Ultra.
Aint no feeling like Petermobiling
Man you boys lucked out on both crossings!!
I used to do that every 2-3days and NEVER hit it through as quick as you did 👍🏻
I never crossed in a truck, only in a car years ago when I was in my 20s and had a nice Camaro. I got searched in secondary every time lol
Good ol’ sarnia boarder. Amazed you made it through without the guards power tripping
Good job Tim glad you enjoyed your trip to Canada
I’m glad you enjoyed visiting Canada. I’m in western Canada but in Ontario there is a lot of lake country my personal favourite is the muskokas. It’s just a little north of Barrie Ontario it’s gorgeous there. If you want the mountains then you have to come out to western Canada. Stay safe tim
I watch a snowmobile channel with a guy from there. He spends most of the winter in Revy.
I'm in Nova Scotia now, but I lived in Vancouver and also in Courtenay, on the island, in the 1980s. I have always wanted to go back to live there again so I'm going for a visit this year and if I still dig it I'll probably just stay.
@@GTLees not alot has changed in Courtney. Besides the fact it's gotten much bigger and modern. I'm from Port Alberni but live in Nanaimo now!!! Only bad thing is all the drugs and cost of living has gone off the charts!!! Safe travels if and when you come back!!!!
Wow up in the Kwartha's! My backyard! Glad you loved visiting my country! #Welcome :)
I spent a lot of my youth in the Kawarthas, Lakefield in particular. He missed some of my favorite spots by a few miles. That's one of the frustrating things about driving a truck. You pass places and don't have time to stop and enjoy. When the truck breaks down and you do have time, you're always in a motel surrounded by cars, trucks, and noise.
You were in town. Didn't even stop by for a coffee. Next time bud. Next time
Toronto is always packed.
Love seeing real footage in my backyard, regonizing familiar roads. I'm an hour from Buckhorn
Soon as you said how bad the roads were my first thought was... "Gotta be Michigan." Not ten seconds later I heard "Almost to Detroit." 😆
The worst roads I've ever been on and I do them everyday are in Quebec. I don't care which part of Quebec, the entire Province have the worst f*cking roads in North America.
At the border in Surrey BC, there's a stone arch that is inscribed with "children of a common mother". That border should always be that easy to cross.
Things have changed since the 80s and 90s. The border used to be really casual. I watched a Canadian woman walk out of her house and take her dog for a walk in Peace Arch Park on the US side of the border. In 1999. These days there are agents waiting to pounce in places where the border is easy to cross accidentally. In Derby Line VT you used to be able to enter one Canadian public building from both sides of the border. Now it's a huge issue if neighbors walk across the road to say hello to a friend they've known for decades. One of the things we gave up with the overreaction to 9/11.
@@cageordie There is a town in Maine where they have a library. Half of it is in the US and the other half in Canada.
Id rather cross the Mexican border and deal with the cartel than talk to greasy Canadian citizens
Truck sounds nice and smooth....soothing! Glad you enjoyed Canada.
My wife and I ran auto parts from New England to Detroit, three round trips a week, crossing at Niagara and Sarnia. Wife loved the Blue Water Bridge...especially when they opened the second bridge. She didn't like waiting in traffic on top of the bridge as it bounced and swayed. Also glad when they opened the 403. That cut out having to take the 6 from Hamilton to Guelf to get to the 401. Great days, then. Thanks for the vid!
i think that you have to , put your phone settings to roaming if you want to stay connected outside of USA. but is at a higher cost though
I used to live outside of Detroit! You could lose your semi in some of those sinkholes! Don’t get me started on the potholes! I feel your pain! Now I live just outside of Knoxville!
Don’t you just love that 401 highway always under construction , the kawarthas are beautiful though l hate driving through Toronto and I live here
When the video started I thought to myself I bet that's i-75 outside of Detroit. That section of i-75 is the worst!
It was good to see you otr again Tim, too bad Braxton couldn't make this trip. Btw, I just got my new T-shirt (classic) and it's true to your word, great fit and comfortable. I'm already cruising the merch store for my next one!
ah up in my home province. ontario is huge and full of lakes! glad you enjoyed such a nice drive out to the kawarthas. the 400 series highways are bonkers though if you did not notice.(ps i love how you pronounced the names of places you sounded more like a local then from south of the border)
Tim I cannot Believe that man walking on your Chrome fenders he needs to stay off of them
When you refit that trailer you ever thought of air so you can raise trailer to clear ground like you had when hauled that big boat and grounded on crest of road plus could incorporate a lifting axle for when running empty as they run safer than a less weight on double axles.
Love. Those. Fenders. On. That. Truck
I see you going through Buckhorn, that is a stunning place. Where you crossed the bridge I have seen 40 inch plus muskie caught right under that bridge.
We used to send alot of our flatbeds to canada over ambassador bridge and into Saskatchewan. Detroit roads have always been a pain for our drivers and trucks. 2, we sent our reefers to California and our cattle trailers to texas and midwest. Come on back therr driver, be safe and god 🙌 🙌 🙌
Welcome to Canada! Lakefield is my hometown crazy watching videos of you and seeing you in my area.
We used to go into Canada from Buffalo N. Y. and come back into U.S. in Detroit. A very nice and beautiful ride.
I can't believe you let him stand on your polished fenders! That's the same kind of people that stand on your polished rims to get a boost. Then they can't figure out why you get mad at them. I used to tell them to bring their car around so I could stand on their hood.
There are many more beautiful places around the area you were in. You were in my neck of the woods. If you ever are visiting again, I’d be glad to share some places to check out or give you a tour if on vacation!
And now I know you will transport to Ontario! Awesome and love the channel..need anything in Ontario hit me up! We got you
like your videos my dad was a trucker before his wreck i'm watching you guys from alaska !! keep up the good work brother !!
You've likely heard the 401 (Windsor to Cornwall) is the "world's longest parking lot." Glad you were not slowed down on your visit here. Do come again.
17:55 such a polite way to tell someone to get the f off your fenders. lol
all of our semis and lowboys have that "d" sign
Yeah we got horrible roads here in Michigan
Not to worry wHitler promised she’d fix them for the last election
And as usual.. she lied
It was good to see you in Canada tim wish i would of come and met you i live about a hour a way from lakefeild watch your channel all the time love it keep up the good work love watching brax i started the same way with my father and family
Easy to get in....lets see how it is getting out...
Slogan “sh tube, we do shift better” lol
Took several vacation trips to Canada and spent 3 months in British Columbia it was amazing and beautiful and met some really nice people..BC is the Florida of Canada. Milder climate compared to the other parts but more expensive to live. Hopefully you got some poutine while there😎🛠️🇺🇸🇨🇦🍁🚛
That was awesome watching you drive past my home in Sarnia, Ontario!! I'd love to see more trips into Ontario!!
Welcome to Ontario Canada. Our cottage countries are very beautiful. Come back up any see more of our beautiful country. Doesn’t matter if it’s the mountains in the west, the prairies in the centre, Canadian Shield in Ontario, Quebec, Maritime provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, or our Territories. All different, all unique. You had good luck crossing at Sarina/Port Huron. Safe journeys
I love your new shifter! I bet it is easier to shft because of it's location to the driver!
Hey Welcome to friendly Canada. Always exciting to watch your Vlogs. Canada 🇨🇦
I'd rather cross Mexican border and fight the cartels than deal with (friendly Canadians )
Need another big fire for some insurance money Lol
You were about 300kms or 180ish miles from my home town.
Im out hauling to the west coast of Canada. Then I got a load literally going from esquimault BC to Gander NFLD (Newfoundland).
Glad you got to come to Canada. Hope you come back more often. Hope to catch you one day on the blacktop.
Our roads are bad up here! Great video Tim!
Surprised you didn’t say something to the guy walking all over your new chrome fenders with his graveled up work boots. You think about keeping a piece of carpet around to throw on there when workers want to climb on them? Seems like a quick way to scratch them up and ruin them…
You guys are doin' all the heavy lifting, but the local wildlife steals the show; welcome to Canada! 🤣🤣🤣
Great content guys 😊. Thanks for sharing.
Best conversations i ever had was coming back and chatting with Canada Customs
The cheapest bribe I ever paid was to a Canada Customs officer, to get the cheapest load across. Back then, it was common for them to make you unload your trailer if you were hauling produce, and I had a trailer filled to the roof with lettuce. The guard said "You know, my wife likes a good salad". I handed him two heads, and he stuffed them in his jacket. Down the road I went.
I never had any issues with Canadian or Mexican customs, but the good ol' USA can be a different story.
Getting into Canada is never the problem, it's trying to return to the United States of America. What's is even worse is if you are going from USA going through Canada and then entering the US again
I applied on the website. Ide love to hear from you guys. Love the content.
canada is easy! been there 100's of times go out west. its nice!
i like your black petercar with a detroit rare truck!
great video! ❤
As someone who lives near the marina you dropped at I loved seeing you travel familiar roads!
If I'd known you were coming up here I would have shown the both of you boys some hospitality!👍
I live in sarnia (the city you came over the bridge to) and I’m always using the bridge to go over to the states even if it’s just to put gas in my car cause it’s typically way cheaper. It was cool watching someone get excited going when it’s such a normal thing for me
In 1994/5 I worked on the building of the CN railroad tunnel under the St Clair River. We would nip over to Port Huron to the chicken restaurant and other eateries maybe have a beer in the L shaped bar right under the bridge, fill up with gas and head back over.
On tunnel breakthrough day I joined the tunnel crew and climbed through the cutter head and into the US. There was a small celebration with the mayors etc. But then a problem the safety dept would not allow us the climb back through the tunnelling machine. So a coach was organized to transport us back to Sarnia, problem two my UK passport was at my apartment on Front Street. We got waved through the US side but were stopped on the Canadian side and the crew handed over ID cards. The head count showed one missing card so, I explained my passport was at home and pointed to the Highrise I lived in. The officer then asked how I gotten passed immigration and into the US. The whole crew chanted as one. He dug a tunnel. We got waved on through and many beers were drunk in the downtown bars.
you can have canada you crossed at detroit i grew up in port huron theres two ways gettig into canada from michigan detroit and port huron i hated going into canada with the rig i live in las vegas now been in vegas 33 years still own a house out in the country not far from canada when in canada go to Tim Hortons
It’s the shysters big brother, big a** forklift
It would be nice if yours did like a 2008 Impala I used to have. A few buttons and the speedometer would changed to KPH.
