    I know you’re disappointed Josh but in my opinion this is making great RUclips content. It’s interesting seeing how things work up there. Thanks for sharing!

  • @carlthor91
    @carlthor91 Год назад +12

    Josh, I understand your grief, but it is better to be onshore wishing you are on the water, rather than on the water praying you are on the shore. You are in a protected bay, in the community, that is why it looks so good.
    The air strip is on the other side of the community from your location at the ferry landing.
    Best wishes from Thompson.

    I love it when Josh sits in his truck and talks to us! He used to stay overnight at truckstops and he would sit in the sleeper and talk to us I used to love that!! It always looks so cozy back there I used to think that would be like camping!!

    @Donald_Shaw Год назад +23

    Hey Trucker Josh... think of all the great stories you can tell your children about the time you were stranded because of no ferry service and stormy weather. With the moral of your story to your children should be; always be prepared with warm clothing, extra food and a positive attitude. However, I do feel your frustration and glad you're keeping as positive as possible.

    Josh, you know exactly why you accepted this load . 1: you never been and wanted to go,2: good content hopefully more views . you'll be okay, consider this as a reset and work maybe a longer route during the weekend if you need it

    Not sure what the company is paying you for this load trucker Josh but I would say they need to pay you at least five grand for that load in snowy weather or at least give you $1,000 a day for detention or something like that when the river freezes over I would love to see a big semi drive across a frozen River like they do on the ice road I'm not sure if it's Canada or something!

    Well if it's any consolation to you Josh, Australia got hit with lots of rain and floods this spring, and yesterday we had snowfalls in the mountains, very rare for late October. It looks like this weather pattern will be with us for the rest of this year. So far not too much sun here either. Take care.

    You need a wind defector on top of your sleeper cab. As your thumbnail shows your trailer is well above your sleeper, greatly decreasing your gas mileage. I realize your truck does not have the higher sleeper cab. Safe Travels.

    Hey Josh. Too bad your week is ruined because of this ferry. I have a personnal practical question. I was wondering how do you
    manage the washroom requirements (you know these no 1 and no 2) while stock there? Do you have to walk to the restaurant every time?

  • @kimberlyshalaby1134
    @kimberlyshalaby1134 Год назад +3

    I feel for you Josh. I hope you can get moving tomorrow. You couldn't have known when you accepted this load that you would be stranded in the inclement weather. You have taught us well with what to expect while being a truck driver. If this is the worst that could happen, then we should count our blessings that we will have better days ahead of us. So glad you are able to keep warm, sleep, eat, & walk out for a signal. Evan the Huskie loves Trucker Josh!🍂🍁🎃🧛‍❤🙏🎃🍁🍂
