Josh "let's see where they want me to go"
GPS "Go straight"
Josh "no no not you Karen"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Marine Altanitc for trucks is $811 for dangerous goods premium booking is $1500 one way almost
Best part was when you were driving down ramp onto ferry and Karen says "Go straight"
Lmao 🤣 Karen telling you to go straight loading on the ferry😂.
Ikr?😂😂 That made me laugh too!!
Yes it is extremely nice being paid by the hour as a truck driver 😂 I'm paid by the hour and it's glorious lol
Trucker Josh on the Coquihalla Highway. Thats pretty cool.
Great videos bud.
No walk today?Josh are you slacking off? :) Great video as always!
I wish trucker Josh’s videos were longer!! I think he should have stories and be at least an hour long!!!!
On your right side is Robertsbank Coalport, I Think it's the largest one in Canada, funny when you set sail, you'll be going thru US waters, Washington State.
Was in BC 2010, the best trip of my life.
Merrit, Kamloops, Victoria, Tofino.
Cant wait to visit Canada again.
Cheers from Sweden
Did you know you were only a few miles away from Edison Motors they based out of Merritt (currently).
7:58 seconds on the left side of the screen there is a missing sign, that indicates that you have reached the summit of the coquihalla pass 1,244 meters or 4,081 feet above sea level.
When i was just out of high school 1984 I worked on Phase 1 (paving), Phase 2 I worked on a Rock crusher / test plant, and Phase III I worked surveying the route out. Then moved to the lower mainland and went into IT work.. now I watch truck drivers on youtube... who would have thought.
It's nice going thru the mountains with a light load. You'll probably have a heavy load going back home.
Come sail away
Stay safe
It’s always nice to have some company on the road doesn’t happen very often because a lot of companies are so big but when it does, it’s nice I find anyway makes the trip a little bit more enjoyable, especially if it’s a guy that you like
Truelly Gorgeous mountain view ❤️🌹❤️
Good old Vancouver island
They seem to have the loading procedure on the ferry well structured. What a thrill of a ride along THX Josh. One of my favorite vlogs you've made 💯👍 safe travels & good luck on getting a sweet reload 🙏
what big and beautiful country we live in, my son and i flew to Texas from Chicago to drive a 24 ft Penski box truck to the great northwest Washington state moving my sister got stopped in new mexico for dot inspection had a great trip through the mountains
The food vendor at Zopkios is great. (9:30 ) we stop there on every trip ! Oh, and technically, the actual Rocky Mountains end at Golden, after Golden, you drive around the north end of the Purcell range, through the Selkirks at Rogers Pass, then the Monashees to Sicamous, and finally the coast range through the Coq. Love the videos Safe travels !
The Coquihalla traverses the "Coast Mountains" also known in Washington as the "Cascades"
For anyone wondering, the movie selection in the theater was Jaws.
I used to take that ferry trip at least once every two months, I lived in Victoria and my family home was in Abbotsford I loved that trip, the last time I went on that trip I had my Mom with me and that was the last time my mom and I had that trip. Thanks for the memories, Love you vlogs, Have a blessed day a Fan from Calgary
We go to the island every year or two to visit family. I love the ferry trip.
Local Victoria viewer here! Welcome man! Been watching you for years
Think Positive Josh
This video was a Boat Load of fun.
We have runaway ramps and a break check near me in the Blue Ridge Mountains too.
Nice drive Josh! Good scenery again if the top and lower mainland.. I enjoyed where you merged back into Hwy1 from Chilliwack stop… My usual route…. It’s amazing how the ferry can take that much….
Great video mate let’s hope you don’t get stranded like the last time you were on a island take it easy mate
awesome video Josh ! Best regards, Chuck
Fun fact: Southern Irrigation was were Pick a Part was, there was a pink car up on the sign for Pick a Part that was there for decades before the owner retired and sold the land. Pick a Part was a salvage yard where you go to get used car parts in Chilliwack
Love the smell of the Ferry. Salty sea air, the black protective coating the peer, boat exhaust!! So amazing. Gorgeous T800 next to you on the Ferry.
Donner pass (I80) is closed far more than the Coquihalla in winter
I live on the island but work for a Winnipeg company. The Human Resources office is always jealous of how low income tax in BC in comparison to Manitoba. Our sales tax is par with Manitoba but property tax is also lower. Unfortunately, the cost of homes are significantly more though!
i left a message for chrome the van life guy to look you up he lives on the island too! i warn you he has a old dog & it slow & odd! ( he lives in a van but he has a shop he be making vans in & stuff for updates to people vans & he lives in a van nightly! like camping every night!)
nice exhaust brake
Looked like a beautiful day for a ferry ride.
Yooo Josh my yard is in Salisbury new Brunswick and I often go on the north Sydney boat to newfoundland. What a beautiful drive through Cape Breton. Unbelievable. The amount of dead moose on the roads in newfoundland is quite insane also. It'd be cool to run into you sometime
Very cool ferry ride!
Need to get polishing for the truck show still lookin good
All way points on the smasher are named after Shakespeare's works Zopkios,Desdemona, Othello, Portia, etc...it's a hold over from when the Kettle Valley Railway (cpr) ran through the Valley
Hi Josh, no panic at all, at these ferries it is first come first serve. Always good to know for the next time. Greetings from Navin, MB Jon and Rina.
Great vlog Josh!
Oh yeah that spot is one of the largest coal loading facilities on the west coast. Glad you took Twassen ferry.😊
It;s nice to see our area through trucker videos 🙂
Rid of top of the mountains. I’ll bet you can expect snow anytime in the year especially way up there.
Coq Pass is only 4,081 ft high, so very low mountain pass, but correct, snow can fall at any time
I was up there when it was still being built, I had to go down TCH 1, but it was nice thru there with the tunnels and all. Tunnels seem to be a pesky thing, no one wants to build em,, cept Norway, lol. like when you were going thru the snowsheds, minimal curves and tunnels . and you have any avalanche zones, with tunnels.
Best truckers in Canada are on Vancouver island
Man I really need to pay attention to the highway down here, I'd love to see Josh on the road in person!
Would be nice if the lower mainland never got snow, two years ago they had their Snowmageddon…I’ve even had the joy of working in -20 around Chilliwack.
Boy, did you ever get the perfect day for the ferry ride through Active Pass! It’s always a treat going through there!
Josh, when you get to Kamloops you have a choice of routes to the coast. The Coq goes over 2 mountainpasses and is a limited access highway with no services if you have trouble. In most places you can't even get off the travelling lane. If you stay on #1, you follow river valleys all the way to Vancouver. No mountain passes, easy in many places to get off the highway and also services along the way if you have trouble. This route has spectacular scenery, it will take about 45 minutes longer and you use less fuel. I never take the Coq if I don't have to. BTW, the mountains on the Coq are the northern edge of the Pacific Cascade range and at Hope you are at the southern edge of the Coast Mountain Range. You left the Rockies behind when you left Golden, the next range is the Selkirk Range, then the northern edge of the Monashee Range just past Revelstoke.
Josh, Thank You for taking us along on your first trip to Vancouver Island including the trip on BC Ferries . The great camera that you operate while driving Old Blue is fantastic when your rolling along is almost like the viewer is sitting in the passenger seat in Old Blue's Cab
Verry nice, Thanks
The scenery you took was amazing.
Ohhhh,,,,this is just beautiful!!! I especially love the mountains. Thank you for the ride,,,,,,so awesome:)
I hope Ol' Blue is making diesel on the way down the hill... Wouldn't that be nice? The scenery in BC on this trip is outstanding...even in the rain and snow... Thanks for letting us ride shotgun in the truck. Love being on a large ship on the ocean -- so relaxing. Take care and drive safely Trucker Josh.
Cool video prairie ferry boy! 😉 Did you travel Jamie Davis' "Highway Through H*ll?" Although I love farmland and prairie, I really love Alberta and BC. Happy trails freight shaker! Oops!! I mean Blue Crew!
You gotta watch the movie “Shoot to kill” from the 80’s, the end is filmed in Vancouver and on one of those ferry’s. Good movie
I used to take loads from Winnipeg (Boeing plant) to Everett Washington (Boeing plant) when I couldn't get a load home to Vancouver
Nice area think Highway Thur Hell is filmed near there. Nice vedioe!
Sure is! Jamie Davis has a crew up in Golden now as well and coming out with a new season starting soon.
Hey Josh,
I work for the competitor, we load trailers with hostiling trucks “yard goats” we back every trailer on the vessel without a truck and leave just the trailer and then unload on the other side on the island. Glad you finally made it over here to the island, Victoria is a busy place!
Hi Josh, I live just a couple hundred miles straight South of you and have often wanted to make the trip to Vancouver Island, I used to have cousins living there, they operated a dairy farm,, sadly now are all deceased,,
My parents made several trips there, during the 1980s and 1990s, and rode that same ferry boat. I rode the SS Badger ferry boat across lake Michigan 8 years ago, that was quite entertaining.
Looks like you had sun for the ferry ride..it can be pretty miserable on a rainy day. Was great seeing my province again. Being housebound for 7 years thanks for theviews tru ker josh
Happy you got to view this video. Bless you 🙏
460 Vehicles on the new Double Ended Ferries. as I worked for B.C. Ferries for a bit

I still remember the first time u went to NL u played the im on a boat song 🤣 im pritty sure it was the first time it was awhile ago so kinda forget if it was the first or second time

Even more exciting than when you got stranded at the ferry in northern Manitoba
Hello from AZ.. love your videos as I am a retired owner operator.. had a W900 also..THE BEST ! You need an extra speaker with your videos because so many of your videos are VERY hard to hear.. i watch other guys that use them and they clip in the front of your shirt.. very helpful and much better sounding videos.. good luck and keep up the videos.. ALSO glad you're a puppy family..mo the better.. you have AWSOME puppies !
Give a wave south across the straits of Jaun De Fuca Josh, I live in Port Townsend, Washington, about 20 miles away across the water from Victoria. Enjoy the NW! I'd be lost in the praires as you are in the salt air which runs through my Norwegian blood! Safe travels home to the family, Keep on Truckin'!
You live in a beautiful spot, I subscribe to the Tallo Ho. Lived in Lower Mainland for 10 years. Washington State was our favourite vacation area
Your Garmin GPS will tell you the altitude
BRAVO! Every video is an adventure with TJV.
That's very true .
Seaspan runs a commercial ferry from Delta to Nanaimo and Swartz Bay for transport trucks (your dispatch should know that)
Thank you for cleaning old blue windshield . 😄😄 Juanita
That was a really fun trip. I felt like I was literally right there too. I can't even fathom the size of that ferry. Thank you for sharing. The scenery was so beautiful. Stay safe❤
Water nice and blue. Island looks like a good place to live.
We still have snow on Pikes Peak in Colorado
All I could thinknof when you said you were taking Blue onto a ferry was the song "Around the world with a rubber duck" by C.W. McCall. Lol
You were pretty close to our farm coming through the Fraser Valley. Yes it’s pretty much green year round but the congestion makes it difficult for us too
Ferries Run every Hour on the Hour
Every 2 hours ,
You were about 1/2 mile of me in Chilliwack!!!............boo hoo!!!
Hey Josh, you need to use your C B, ask the local drivers!
From Hope to Kamloops on Hyw 5, it took 20 months to build,so it can be done. My home province!
Nice adventure Josh. 👍
232 ND street exit puts you on hwy 10 , straight out to the boat
Enjoy the trip on the ferry. Nice. Beautiful country you were driving thru. Thank you Josh.
Point Roberts is where they Ship coal out Bound for Overseas
Fact: BC's "navy" aka BC Ferries has the largest ferry fleet in North America and the second largest in the world!
The ferries there run more often than the east coast.😊
They run every hour to Vancouver Island. Don't know about the Gulf Islands though. They run two ships on the route that Josh was on
Nice video ! I will be doing the same thing in June, but I will be departing from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo, I will be driving my car from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario !
I think to take a passenger car across 1 way it is $50 or $60 CDN. Imagine living on the island and having to do the ferry crossing twice a day. Some days the ferries are cancelled due rough seas.
That would be CRAZY But the price you pay to live in paradise 💰
Hey I know this scale (hunter creek) I ran out of hours there about 10 years ago
At least it was a sunny 😎 day on your crossing 😊.
Love traveling with you. This place reminds me of Hallmark.
Nice ride across the water.
Are you allowed to bring a dog with you on the ferry ? Like could you have brought Diesel with you ?
Great video! Excited for you.
What a beautiful trip
The lower mainland goes get snow not as much but yes they do get some snow thats how the do the show highway through hell in Canada
Love Your Trip I Live In Burnaby Bc Did You Get Good coffee and did you see Jaws lol
