Just stumbled onto your channel. COVID is 2 years in, the gov't has declared an emergency and Putin is doing his best to start WWIII but your joy from doing your job shines through and is contagious. It's going to be OK. Thanks brother.
I like your video's , I have never been to Canada, and you take me on your way through to places that are really pretty., thank you for letting me tag along. I live in the U.S.A. even thro not that far from the boader but with everything going on here I am better off watching trucker video's to do my travels. :) stay safe and warm and thank you for what you do to make my life easier.
First time watching, I like this guy. Thanks for showing us the T680. The more I drive a Freighliner, the more I’m loving a Kenworth. It’s my next truck. It’s made for truck drivers, not just for business like the Freightliner. And yes I also love driving through small towns, like today I drove through 5 small towns on the outskirts of Kansas and Nebraska. It was just beautiful. I stopped and had a good breakfast. New sub 💪🏾
18:10, also slow down for refuse trucks! Nearly hundreds of garbage truck drivers die from distracted drivers colliding into them each year. Many rural areas are still collected manually by rear loaders and MSLs, hence the reason so many casualties. Just thought I’d let everyone know!
FWIW, Boston Pizza was started in Newport Beach California in the 1980s by a Jewish guy from Boston. It failed in the US but seemed to survive elsewhere
No wonder Josh is impressed, that truck is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything! See if anyone gets the reference Lots of love
This video made me happy. Your love for this truck is contagious. I'm working on becoming a trucker and I hope to drive a beautiful automatic just like that soon.
In the US atleast, most companies new trucks are the auto-stick transmissions. They are allot better than the original "automatic" truck transmissions.
So nice to see a Canuck truck driver. I was born in Winnipeg and where you are heading is where my great grandparents selttled. Im so looking forward to this video. Hi from BC
I love your Videos! I work for Paccar & work in our roadside breakdown department. Watching your videos gives me a great perspective of what you drivers have to deal with.
Josh you sold me on the 680, company sent two down from Calgary to the Maritimes with the two pedals, and gave them to 2 Hardcore 18spd 600hp Kenworth drivers...well I had to laugh when the two of them melted, and you cant pry the keys off them...
Kenworth’s are awesome. My husband and I just purchased a W900L Kenworth ✔️ 86” Studio Sleeper ✔️ 280” Wheelbase ✔️ 18 Speed Transmission ✔️ 500X15 Cummins Engine
Josh I have been watching your videos since the get go, I think I could find my way around Canada pretty good. When we hook up the trailer for our camping trip I always look for local roads so I can really see the country. God Bless brother
I've had to spread those plug prongs a few times myself to get a better connection. You're right about don't spread them too far or they might break. Another thing that works is to clean out the receptacles with a skinny wire brush which helps to clean the gunk out. Just put it in and twirl it around a few times. Sometimes a spark plug gapping tool has a skinny wire brush attached. Another thing that works is a rolled up piece of fine sandpaper twirled around inside the receptacle.
There is a reason that a lot of US carriers love T680s. They have good fuel efficiency, they work really well for van hauling and they have lots of space in the cabin. They make wonderful trucks for those that drive in teams.
Hey Josh, really enjoy your videos! While I am not a truck driver myself, I vicariously am one through your videos! I have been meaning to ask if you've ever considered using the driver and passenger seatbelts to secure the doors just in case somebody tries to break the door locks. I have seen other truck drivers do this for added security.
I'm in my young 20s. Started as a G class driver. Have been doing it for 3 years. Going for my dz this week then hopefully and eventually get my AZ. Would be cool if a company was willing to pay for it since it's very expensive where I am. Dz price is reasonable here 3750$ plus tax. These videos are great to watch and gives me an idea what to expect. I do love my manual trucks but I would be okay with auto too once in awhile. Rest the knee lol. Hope to do long haul as well.
Hi Josh . The law on passing cops and tow trucks should be for any one on the shoulder . I got a tire change on the 401 Toronto . Cars trucks passing two feet away from us at 100 km plus . The tire man told me go wait in the cab . No cense both of us getting mashed.
I am currently on (the final days of being on) my trainers truck which is a T680 and that upper bunk isn’t terrible to sleep in… and those storage pods do hold a lot! It drives alright but it’s a little jumpy… maybe I just haven’t had enough time with it yet.
Currently in a T680 from my company fleet. Bare bones, no table, no fridge but it is a solid truck except one thing in particular. That automatic. I HATE IT! Especially when backing up with a trailer it lunges back hard when you want to be gentle and steady. If I ever get a T680, manual and clutch would be the way to go and it will be perfect.
Hey there Josh, I've been in a blue T680 myself for the last 2 years. Very comfortable truck but they seem to be prone to DPF problems, in our fleet at least. I'll be getting a new truck sometime early next year, really hoping I'll get a 2022 T680, if not it's like to be a new cascadia. Great to see you like it, though I'd really love to have a W900 too!
Haha that's exactly why I refused the brand new t680 when they sold my freightliner. I'm only 6 foot and I smacked my head try to sit on the bed. Plus seats closer together and I travel with my golden retriever and knew she wouldn't like that. Freightliner have more space
I took a brand new KW like that on one trip and that was the worst truck I’ve ever driven. The doors flap in the wind and I had a headache the whole trip. Went back to my old KW T660 and pre-def and that’s the truck to have IMO.
The grocery company that I work for they use the same t680 kenworth their color are white and they have some sleepers a a lot of day cabs kenworth t680s
Josh you should see how much the new model goes for, 2022 t680. Some dealership down in the U.S. posted a video of one they had up for sale and we’re selling it for $235000 usd. Absolutely crazy, I don’t even want to convert that number to cad.
I don't know if it's just me but you might have to repost that video the audio for the majority of the video is completely out of sync with the video. Keep up the great work love the videos, keep them coming.
I'm sorry guys! RUclips is working on the issue. My hands are tied right now but it is getting fixed! Check back again soon! It should be fixed by tomorrow!
@@Trucker_Josh yeah cb's are on the way out. Now it's headsets that evey trucker has. I like to see a cb in a truck. Completes the look of a nice truck 👍
I know how much you enjoy the W900L. It's still my favourite video of yours. However, the W990 is a 2.1 m wide cab vs the 1.8 m wide W900. I think you'd enjoy the extra space.
You better be careful doing all these overnights you'll start to get an itch and it starts to put ideas into a guy's head about going back otr I've been there
The T680s are comfortable but not for me. My Freightliner M2 106 has been a great truck for me and where I work. But, if I ever get into long haul trucking, the T680 is def one of my first choices
Josh, do you guys have a seperate battery for starting the truck, and for the heater and light and so on when you are on your night break? We have it on our Scanias and Volvos so the truck always have enough Power to start
![Seungmin "그렇게, 천천히, 우리(As we are)" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kAzmhLHePqU/mqdefault.jpg)

"I m way too nice"...my man you re canadian ofcourse you re too nice lmao, you people are awsome
Just stumbled onto your channel. COVID is 2 years in, the gov't has declared an emergency and Putin is doing his best to start WWIII but your joy from doing your job shines through and is contagious. It's going to be OK. Thanks brother.
Josh, that antenna looking thing outside of Neepawa on the Yellowhead Highway is a purple martin birdhouse colony.
The thing I like the most about the T680 is the rotating passenger seat.
I couldn't figure it out
@@Trucker_Josh LOL!
I like your video's , I have never been to Canada, and you take me on your way through to places that are really pretty., thank you for letting me tag along.

Hey Josh, you should remind everyone to like the video in every vlog.

I start with CFI in January 2022…and they drive the Kenworth T680!!
like that slow down for emergency vehicle in ontario it seems like everybody speeds up not good Great channel!!!!
FWIW, Boston Pizza was started in Newport Beach California in the 1980s by a Jewish guy from Boston. It failed in the US but seemed to survive elsewhere
No wonder Josh is impressed, that truck is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

Lots of love
Kenworth is a nice truck I’ll keep my peterbuilt. I love Volvo. I hate freightliner with a passion
Well you were blessed with good weather, no bilzzard.

Automatic 😂 that's not trucking

the trucks you drive over there looks so comfy. here in Norway the beds are sooo small.
Love the t680 the 2022 design is so sweet
The company name on the truck are they still in going are they.

A truck driver driving a GM car. True american!
I'm not American. I'm Canadian
The trailer was the problem not the truck, love that sleeper
Kenworth’s are awesome. My husband and I just purchased a W900L Kenworth
✔️ 86” Studio Sleeper
✔️ 280” Wheelbase
✔️ 18 Speed Transmission
✔️ 500X15 Cummins Engine
Sweet truck!
Buttiful truck
New the the channel, but watching these videos are fast becoming an obsession. Love what your doing bro, and love that you love it too.
Thank you!!
Great job Josh
Nice little beautiful zombie town looks cozy to spend the night in that volvo keep the good work
I’m from boston watching this and when I herd we have boston pizza I said what?? Lol
Good vlog Josh, nice to ride in style with a Kenworth. Have a great day. Thanks.
I always carry a can or dielectric spray, use it everything that needs to be connected
Ok i'm sold! Kenworth wins!

I WANT THAT T680😍😍😍
Trucker Josh Ridin’ in style! KW’s are simply the best…. and I hope one day you can get your own.
Josh, the passenger seat in the T680 flips around so that you can use the seat and table like a desk.
Well somebody was very excited to drive that 680 and to be honest I would be too ! Thumbs UP to you Josh!
It helps you keep a smile on your face josh.
Thanks for letting us ride shotgun in your fancy Kenworth T680. It sure is a nice truck and you're right about it being a condo on wheels.
There is a reason that a lot of US carriers love T680s. They have good fuel efficiency, they work really well for van hauling and they have lots of space in the cabin. They make wonderful trucks for those that drive in teams.
I don't think there's enough room in any truck for two grown men.... I could never drive team
That Kenworth is larger then my first apartment
I want a KW😂😂😂It's luxurious.
Nice video👍

I've never thought about doing that. 🤔
Yea I got a t680 it's the best along with the pete
Thank you for mentioning tow trucks. I dispatch tow trucks for a living and have had several drivers get hit while trying to help people.
Get you some electro like grease it works great on trailer plugs trust me I know have a great holiday
I faithfully watched this forshimmeled video. 👍K(1000)th viewer. 😊 Good night Trucker Josh! Good thing I don't drink. It might have made sense.
Hey, Josh that Kenworth is a beautiful truck. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄.
Just wait until someone tells him the passenger seat swivels😂
That is one cool truck!
Found this video by random, turns out you were leaving from grand pointe, about 20 min from me 😂
Watching from manila.... very nice and beautiful truck.

Very comfortable

timmies, dons, and boston pizza are staples in canadian towns, if the doesn't have boston pizza lets hope they have a junior A team at least
I always hit my head on the top bunk in the international I used to drive.
I've always wondered what the sleeper portion of the trucks look like.
Hey there Josh, I've been in a blue T680 myself for the last 2 years. Very comfortable truck but they seem to be prone to DPF problems, in our fleet at least. I'll be getting a new truck sometime early next year, really hoping I'll get a 2022 T680, if not it's like to be a new cascadia. Great to see you like it, though I'd really love to have a W900 too!
Damn you’re gonna be spending at least 120k+ for a brand new 2022 . Pretty penny . How big is your company ?
@@DOAN1000 Fleet 1000+, generally a new truck every 3 1/2 yrs.

Very nice truck! 👌 👍
So Josh you have an new truck
For a couple days
Only the real OG’s will remember what happened in Chamberlain SK in the Peterbilt 386!!!
Good times, good times lol
A better way is get a zip tie wrap around the plug take the point end slide it in first then put the cord in an it takes care of problem
Nice to drive a largecar now and then. Bet you and Diesel miss having one.
handsome car 👍🏻👍🏻
Why is it in your vehicle your dash lights keeps flickering that drives me crazy just asking ? Love the video ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Blue 42 blue 42... Hike hike 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your a little too excited to drive that truck for a day lol,, but I do like your videos keep it up
I took a brand new KW like that on one trip and that was the worst truck I’ve ever driven. The doors flap in the wind and I had a headache the whole trip. Went back to my old KW T660 and pre-def and that’s the truck to have IMO.

Enjoyable
Finally got it !
Ur a real trucker now that t680 has a cb. 😆 jk ur always a real trucker.
Lol it never gets turned on 🤷♂️ no one uses them around here. No one uses 8-track players anymore either 🤷♂️ lol

Yes we have a few. Very nice trucks

The w990 is the truck he’s in, (t680) with a set forward front axle and a long hood. Otherwise identical….
No Dog Vlog!
The road from Tisdale to Nipawin is where the Humboldt Broncos bus crash happened.
You better be careful doing all these overnights you'll start to get an itch and it starts to put ideas into a guy's head about going back otr I've been there
Anyone els have problems with the audio not syncing with the video? Still great video and the best truck youtubeer
It's all fixed now 👍
We have Boston Pizza here in California
On the road again 🎵🇭🇲
I can just imagine Diesel claiming that passenger side bed window to keep an eye out for cows
My pap had a truck like that
Why did the blue truck have a different company name.
As long as it's got a cat in it
Just wondering how is the stereo in that truck is it decent or ah ok sounding
It's alright. It has Bluetooth connection
