Baptism of Ice- The road to the Mines

- Опубликовано: 31 мар 2024
- My first trip to the infamous mines in Ontario. This was also my first trip with my trainer, Dave at Big Freight. He has decades worth of experience driving in all conditions with all loads so I was definitely in good hands.

Well we loved that, the view from your camera in the cab is like we are right there with you. Great drone work. What an adventure you have embarked on. Thanks for sharing. We miss seeing you but can see you are doing very well in the snow.😊
Thanks so much!
Macho.💪💪 Canadian Trucker 😮
Nicely Done ✅
Very enjoyable drive and video thankyou 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Linda
Nice one Andy , those back roads look very slippery, are they as bad as they look? I guess the snow chains give it away😂😂. I wish Uk roads were as quiet as over there .when are you going solo? Great video again ,really enjoying watching them, keep em coming!!
Yeah it's very easy to start to spin even with the chains on. It's a case of hitting the downhills hard, 1 so you're pulling the trailer just enough so it doesn't catch up and start to slide,and also to have enough beans for the hill before the gear change. But too fast, and it won't steer round the corner. This road is 16km aswell! It's fun
I used to do bush hauling in Timmins. Hauling nickel ore from the mine to the mill.
Timmins was my final drop in Ontario on my last trip. Was a nice drive from Sault ste Marie.
@@sanganoutdoors hwy 144 is a nice drive, use to be a lot worse years ago.
Hi Andy, been watching your journey and what an adventure your having. Im currently a class1 driver in the UK can i ask how you came across the opportunity to work in Canada?
Sure mate. If you have a look at Big Freight Systems Facebook page they are actually coming to the UK end of this month! Get in contact with their Facebook page and get to an interview. Birmingham, London, Edinburgh and Dublin. I had to go to Munich. But it went from there mate
And thanks for watching. Got a new vid soon, first trip solo into the states. Iowa, wisconsin and illinois back and forth from Ontario
Thanks for the reply mate. Sent cv off so fingers crossed I hear back. Never know I might see you on the road. Keep the shiny up buddy and stay safe.
@roywilson7751 no worries mate good luck. The whole process only takes about 8 months! If you speak to Priscilla tell her I sent you 😉
@@sanganoutdoors will do mate. Thanks again.
didnt see you guys pull the tarps off and roll them up
Too busy freezing my balls off to film that...maybe on the next vid 🤔😂
