It has to be reassuring when people give you a hard time still, like over this whole situation. They're basically saying "I've never watched this channel, and have no idea what this guy is about. Let me comment something!" New viewers! Solid work as per the usual 👌 keepin' it classy
I'm glad that Not a Wheelchair came to the rescue and the chairs will make it to Bruce. The joys of dealing with our Northern neighbors were stated in their remark about it being your problem if you ran into a difficult agent, not theirs. We used to go into Canada at least twice a year for many, many years, and more than once we've ran into someone that wanted to play the heavy and made entry a total pain in the butt - for no real reason at all other than they could. Sad but true fact - you are entering THEIR country, and it's THEIR discretion on you being allowed entry. Just glad you can put this behind you as one of those moments!
It's not that hard to call a customs broker and have your paperwork ready before you get to the border. I'm guessing Casey has never done international business before, or he thinks Canada is part of the USA maybe?
@@BillyHudson1 You mean, it's not hard to do the thing he did? TWICE? You are correct, it wasn't hard.. What IS hard, is holding a ball, and have an idiot say "that's a cube" even though it's clearly a ball. And he says "you don't have paperwork for a cube".. the answer is.. CORRECT, I have paperwork for a ball, because this is a ball..
@@AndrewAMartin I did, and on the first video Casey told the customs that they where ebikes, but that can't be a bike since they don't have pedals... That's why there are specialized companies that know what and how to do it.
Thank You Casey for all of your efforts to get these to Bruce Cook, much appreciated 😊 Your good heart and kindness is really something special. Stay safe ❤️🙏
I’ve crossed that border a hundred times and I feel your pain. Wait until next time you try to cross and they ask. “Have you ever been denied entry to Canada?” Then it all starts again. I have a us green card and a Canadian passport. I find it best to use Canadian passport when heading north and green card when heading south
I had a five year flag for crossing into America when I was 18 crossing to go shopping with a carload of friends at night. They tore our car down and took the panels off the doors. A power tripping border guard is basically the worst thing …
Canada border is rude and hostile to travellers, just like Australia. Been in US three times, not an single thing. They just ask questions and say welcome US. Never go Aus or Can again. Such assholes on customs.
@@H3110NU Same thing happened to me and a friend crossing back into USA around Detroit several years ago. They brought us into interrogation rooms, and tore everything out of my Subaru and left it all in a pile on the ground for us to put back in. We were early 20's and I'm sure they were looking for drugs. Fortunately, they didn't plant any drugs on us. On the other hand, about 10 years ago when Canada was a good place to go, they let me and my dog right in with just a couple of questions.
Im a retired truck driver and i agree with you on the aroma in the truck stops in the summer days 🤮 at least the electric chairs are getting delivered and will be used soon - keep up the good work helping others and be safe with the fires in your area 👍🇺🇸
Many years ago i was bringing in a laod of furniture into the US from Canada to a freight forwarder. I had 6 different bills of lading since it was being delivered to six different places. The agent took 1 item from each bill and said he wanted to see them individually to see a Made In Canada stamp on each. I explained to the officer that it took 4 guys about 4 hours to load the trailer and I would be awhile. It was about 85' outsde and pretty 100' inside the trailer.Some of the pieces where massive and heavy. Buy lunch time I had found two of thethem and he said he would be back after lunch. A other officer came up to me and asked me how I was doing and I told i had found 2 pieces. He said lets see them and I opened the boxes up and showed him and he said get out of her before the other officer came back. This was my first load to the US and never had a problem for 40 years after that.
Glad it worked out. Thanks to all involved. I know a tiny bit about what you went through, and can say some people will not understand it unless they go through it themselves. Looking forward to the next episode
Glad you cleared the timeline of events up now, because I too had some thoughts along the lines of some of the comments (which I didnt read) but refrained from commenting on it because you said there will be a more detailed explanation of what went down in another video. Lesson for us armchair experts: Hold your horses! 😅 But most importantly, the rigs go Canada now!
Where there is a will there is a way! Thanks for the passport info...I entered over 15 countries with an unsigned passport before checking mine after your adventure...LOL.
I've told this story before: When I was in graduate school, a few years before 9/11 (no passports required), I drove charter motor coach in Ohio to help pay the bills (even students have to eat). On one of my training rides, it was just me and the trainer who drove from Columbus, Ohio to Windsor, ON (Canada). Since Windsor had casinos, we had a lot of trips through the Detroit/Windsor crossing. So we crossed the Ambassador bridge into Canada, and they asked the two questions: did you stop at the duty free shop? Do you have any firearms on board? Of course no. We spun around to one of the boarder casinos, drove through the parking lot, then headed back over the bridge back into Detroit, MI. The *U.S.* border agent was board out of his gourd! There were only 3 of 8 crossing gates open. He stepped onto my coach and he shot the sh*t with the two of us for 45 minutes, while I, sitting in the driver's seat, on the log clock, watched in my mirrors all of the U.S. bound traffic back up all the way over the top of the bridge. He finally released us when he realized it was time for his lunch break. Just remember, when crossing any international border, the agents are gods! (Fun fact, Windsor, ON is south of Detroit, MI.)
Casey as a driver who has been to Canada many times, you hit the nail on the head . It's Bob's discretion at the gate . If he has a bad night or chitty lunch . 😮😮 He can make it hell to go on .😊
Just got back from my trip on part of your journey. Sacramento through Winnemucca, Wells then north to Twin Falls, east to Yellowstone, north to Bozeman, Miles City, north to Regina, Saskatchewan and back in the last 2 weeks and it was smoky or at least hazy from the smoke the entire way. From your 1st video, I made sure I checked our passports to make sure they were signed, mine was but my family’s weren’t. Thanks for the heads up.
As a Canadian, I'm sorry. I do admire your dedication to getting these NotAWheelchairs to the people that need them. Thank you Casey. Love from Prince Edward Island! Come visit sometime in the summer if you ever get time for a vacation!
You are absolutely right about the smell at truck stops or rest areas. We travel the United States in our rv and I can’t tell you how many times drivers would stand on their fuel tank and piss right on the parking lot. They didn’t even blink an eye if you were watching them.
That’s crazy that the border agent has the power to decide what he thinks something is. Sorry to hear all this happened. It’s just ridiculous. I want to personally thank you, after watching the first video, I went home and checked my passport that I had not signed and I’ll be going to Iceland in November so you probably saved me a lot of problems at the border. Thank you. Great video keep up the positive work Casey.
Casey. You now know what it was like landing in Vietnam and opening the door of the jet ! First impression lasts forever. Thanks again for the things you do for others. You do yourself and family proud.
hey Casey... it's a shame what happened at the border (especially after having you & the old car being rescued by Ben).... BUT.... if there's anything I've come to expect from you, it's TENACITY.. if it needs to be done, you'll figure out a way!!! Safe travels, friend ❤️❤️ Stay FROSTY....

Winnemucca, Nevada? I think Johnny Cash sang about that place in the song, "I've been everywhere." So, an overzealous Government Employee prevented a good deed. No good deed goes unpunished. GREAT VIDEO!
Customs and International Borders can get tricky. Canada is full of beautiful places, friendly people, and Gooses. Some of the gooses are employed by their border patrol.
Funny story… I have traveled all over the world to 30+ countries for both work and vacations and the only country that I ever had an issue entering was Cananda. I was traveling for work and I made the mistake of telling the boarder agent in Toronto that I was going to “teach” a class instead of just “attending” a meeting… Four hours later, after waiting in the immigration line from hell, I was able to discuss the issue with another agent who was able to look up in the massive NAFTA book what classification of work I was performing, I was granted a one-year work visa stapled into my passport and was allowed to enter the country. I did have a minor issue leaving China once but that was because the China Travel Service forgot to account for a layover in Shanghai on my return trip from Hong Kong to the States. But that just meant that I had to be escorted from my arrival gate to my departure gate by the officials.
I am at a loss to understand why Canada gives so much power to their border agents after telling you what you need to have it all in order and then telling you that you're on your own if an agent makes an arbitrary decision when you get there. That just doesn't make any sense to me.
I came back from Canada through Eastport (north of Couer d'Alene) and got a US officer on a power trip. Most places, it's a few questions and "have a nice day". This jerk was giving everyone a colonoscopy. Slowest crossing ever.
Definitely not strictly a Canada thing, nor a border security thing... too many service jobs / roles enable unnecessary and harmful discretion at the service member level.
I'm glad that you're a persistent person, especially when it comes to helping folks. This whole deal has been very costly just on your side. Doing what is right and needs to be done is always worth it. Rock on Casey. Rock on. BTW, Once again your explanation and clarification is fun to listen to, and informative.
You and Zack are both so kind to donate these buggies to the NON-PROFIT in Canada! I'm happy Zack will be able to ship them to Canada thru his business, and Border Patrol SWELLED HEAD "Official" can't stop them Now!👍🙏😇
Thank you for such a clear and complete explanation of the Rigs to Canada Expedition! Thank you for helping with the whole attempt and your follow-through! In 1976 I while in California with my New York driver's license, carrying my passport along with military ID. I got denied entry into a nightclub! Back then NY didn't have your picture on the dl. It was just a small heavyweight paper. The large sign above the nightclub listed acceptable IDs and my proofs weren't listed! It was such a stupid power trip that I just left, laughing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. People need not jump to conclusions. I am glad they will get to Canada. Thank you for at least trying. Great video!😊
Thanks for the tip! Just signed my Passport. (I'm 72, and just got my first passport last year, for an Alaskan cruise, stopping at Victoria BC - never got off the boat there though - very short stop.)
Just for the hell of it I would go together as a passenger... You worked so hard for the equipment to be delivered to a good cause ( and take Grumpy with you 😄😄😄😄 ) Bless you man, hope they were more like you in the world... it would for sure be a far more better place....
I traveled a bit internationally a bit after school. Went through 5-6 countries in europe with my passport. Needed it as a form of id to update my state drivers license... state dmv told me my passport was an illegal document because it used my nickname, not my birth name. Well, i just filled out the forms and realized the government _offered you that option_ at the time and used it. The rules changed 2 years later. My nickname passport was valid as issued, but was no longer be allowed *on new passports.* DMV was trying to hold me to a standard that didn't exist when my 'illegal document' was issued. Austria, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, and the US government had no issue with it... but THE DMV? Hell yeah!
Yes! There is a US veteran who is being hassled by the Tennessee DMV over the fact he was born in Canada to American Citizens. His Birth Certificat was not endorsed as being a legal American Citizen as it was not usually done at that time! 77 years later, they claimed he wasn't a US Citizen! The DMV, not the Federal Government! Just petty bureaucrat power flexing!
Some canuk needs to make sure the marshmallow head that made this PR nightmare for the tourist department of British Columbia and great Canada sees this.. And then is never allowed to forget it. Heck, make it a training point. NO one is happy but that boarder guard. Good job Canada, good Job.....
Oh this is intentional by Canadian bureaucrats. They want you to know they're just as "real" of a country as the USA despite having fewer people than California.
So good to see you are finally getting the chairs up to Canadania. It is also impressive to see the Speculative expertise of the Armchair Canadian Border and Customs Agents in action. ;-)
Casey, after the first video where you explained all of this, I went and looked at the wife's and mine. They too were not signed. Yes you did explain this well the first time too. I drove into Canada as a CDL driver for years. These border agents can be, *&%$'s. I had to appeal several action. And I won believe it or not. Thanks for telling Us about the signed pass port. Did not know it was to be signed. Been across the border once with it that way too. LOL.
I travel internationally on a nearly constant basis, and I can tell you that all the preparation in the world is gonna fall short if you bump into the wrong guy who is having a bad day or just mis-interpreting the situation. And there is no one more petty than a petty official, the moment you try to explain where he is wrong you're done. So no judgements or second guesses here, just compliment for keeping your cool and managing to get it done in the end.
I never had a doubt that you would figure out a way to get them up to Canada! Sorry that I missed you when you stopped in Hines, Oregon to get fuel. ;-)~ Yes, that is Hines, not Burns where you get fuel. I'll keep bugging you until I hear you give Hines the kudos on your videos... LOL. Great job, once again Casey! Can't wait to see you give that Lazy Bruce Cook a piece of your mind in person... I HATE Casey LaDelle!
Always a way to work around the issues, some times ya just gotta climb over the problem. Let the crap fall from higher up on his side... Calm & Calculated, lol! Thanx !
I had a crankshaft break in Winnamuca in 1973 and had to wait at the truck stop west of town for a week waiting for a new motor. one of the biggest cause of tire blowout is under inflation which really builds heat because of the tire flexing. Border crossings were always a pain.
Shame Canukistan pissed on your parade with the mobility chairs, it's awesome they'll get there eventually. I always loved doing repairs in truckstop parking lots in hot weather, especially tires.
We may have just missed each other in Winnemucca. If you're ever there again, try eating at The Pig. I always go there when I park at that Flying J. It's only a block or two down by Ridley's
Try living in Point Roberts and having to deal with Canadian Boarder Agents on a daily comminuting basis. Even if you have Nexus status they can take it away for the smallest of reasons. OH CANADA so full of......
I would suggest, the Border agents saying it is down to the "discretion" of the agent at that time translates as "He was wrong and we don't want to lose face"!
I drove into Canada with a bulk tanker once a week sometimes twice a week for about 12 years. I had a fast card which was issued by the United States and Canada jointly. Fast means free and secure trade. You never know what the Canadian Porter agent is gonna do. Maybe having a bad day and you pay for it anyways I’m retired. Keep the videos coming They’re always interesting
I too was detain at the Canada border for 4hrs because i used my personal daily driver dually Ram pickup to make a service call to a customer in Canada. They refused to believe the dually was my personal vehicle & not a commercial rig. A HOLES.
I've only seen a couple dozen or so of Casey's videos, but I can certainly tell he's a decent honest guy. He did nothing wrong. Power tripping border guard likely just has a small member.
I go to Canada once a month for the past 20 plus years I can totally see how this could happen with border agents. They live a very dismal life and have a tiny bit of authority to intentionally make peoples lives miserable like theirs
So happy it’s all working out. So sorry for our ridiculous government. Hope you’re still coming to visit once they arrive. Oh, and our government also banned bendy straws…. Cheers
Driving into Canada can be a pain for Canadians too. I got grilled for a few minutes when I was crossing coming back from my NEXUS interview that took place in the border crossing building.
Fun fact--that stretch of I80 from Wendover to Stansbury Point (Toole), about 99 miles, has exactly 1 fire station and no ambulances, so drive carefully. The one fire station belongs to the air force bombing range somewhere away from the freeway and will only go to car fires if they are not busy with air force stuff.
I commend you on your patience dealing with the Canadian border agents!!! I would have been so P Oed!!! Glad to hear that you and Zack got it figured out. Suggestion for a compromise... you each pay half of t.he fees and shipping. 😁
Just goes to prove that there are unhappy bureaucrats in all countries and sense they are unhappy they want to do everything in their power, which they have way too much of, to make other people unhappy. Sorry for the troubles you had and were not able to deliver the Not- A - Wheelchair chairs yourself but hopefully the people who were to get them do finally get to use and enjoy they. Cool that electric skate board saves some were and tear on the shoe leather and the legs it looks like. Neat Idea.
I remember years ago I was out west at a newly built truck stop. A truck pulled in and dropped his trailer. It was so hot the assault was mushy the trailer went to the nose. He was fully loaded. Had to have 2 wreckers to raise it up. About 40 years ago.
This reminds me of a snappy comeback meant for bullies but works just as well against power-trippers: "Breaking everyone around you isn't going to fix what's broken in you."
Bruce is special.person like you. Watch his few videos when he was testing his wifes 1st rigs, i was very impressed. As for as the birder agents, Lord could we borrow a few for our southern borders.
I’ve been watching Casey for a long while and I can tell you he’s not the guy that doesn’t do his homework people write video brother God bless you and your family
Wow that was crappy what you went trhough. Some of those boder patrol guys. A friend of mine pissed them off so what did they do said he was carrying drugs and they literally took his corvette completely apart didnt find anything told him hes good to go and he had to put hia car back together. Ridiculous
It was so hot last week while trainspotting Big Boy threw Winnemucca I ran threw park sprinklers. Can't wait til my next return visit to Crane Hot Springs in Burns Or
I probably should have warned you that being my friend is pretty annoying, expensive, or painful. Or a combination of them. Sorry, eh 😬
Don’t worry, he’ll have a new “I HATE being Bruce Cook’s friend” shirt out soon.
Not your fault, unless you tipped them off a dangerous nice guy was trying to cross their border and do a good deed.

I remember Winnemucca. Had a driver sell the tires and wheels off one of our trucks there. We drove after dark to save on tire heat.
You and Zack are both so kind to donate these buggies to the NON-PROFIT in Canada! I'm happy Zack will be able to ship them to Canada thru his business, and Border Patrol SWELLED HEAD "Official" can't stop them Now!👍🙏😇
You are amazing. Thank you
Thank you for such a clear and complete explanation of the Rigs to Canada Expedition! Thank you for helping with the whole attempt and your follow-through!
In 1976 I while in California with my New York driver's license, carrying my passport along with military ID. I got denied entry into a nightclub! Back then NY didn't have your picture on the dl. It was just a small heavyweight paper. The large sign above the nightclub listed acceptable IDs and my proofs weren't listed! It was such a stupid power trip that I just left, laughing.
Thank you for sharing your experience. People need not jump to conclusions. I am glad they will get to Canada. Thank you for at least trying. Great video!😊
Glad it is all going to work out. Kudos to all making it happen.
That Was So AWESOME What You & Everyone else Did For Them People, GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip! Just signed my Passport. (I'm 72, and just got my first passport last year, for an Alaskan cruise, stopping at Victoria BC - never got off the boat there though - very short stop.)
Just for the hell of it I would go together as a passenger... You worked so hard for the equipment to be delivered to a good cause ( and take Grumpy with you 😄😄😄😄 ) Bless you man, hope they were more like you in the world... it would for sure be a far more better place....
I traveled a bit internationally a bit after school. Went through 5-6 countries in europe with my passport. Needed it as a form of id to update my state drivers license...
state dmv told me my passport was an illegal document because it used my nickname, not my birth name.
Well, i just filled out the forms and realized the government _offered you that option_ at the time and used it. The rules changed 2 years later. My nickname passport was valid as issued, but was no longer be allowed *on new passports.*
DMV was trying to hold me to a standard that didn't exist when my 'illegal document' was issued.
Austria, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, and the US government had no issue with it... but THE DMV? Hell yeah!
Yes! There is a US veteran who is being hassled by the Tennessee DMV over the fact he was born in Canada to American Citizens. His Birth Certificat was not endorsed as being a legal American Citizen as it was not usually done at that time!
77 years later, they claimed he wasn't a US Citizen! The DMV, not the Federal Government!
Just petty bureaucrat power flexing!
Some canuk needs to make sure the marshmallow head that made this PR nightmare for the tourist department of British Columbia and great Canada sees this.. And then is never allowed to forget it. Heck, make it a training point. NO one is happy but that boarder guard. Good job Canada, good Job.....
Oh this is intentional by Canadian bureaucrats. They want you to know they're just as "real" of a country as the USA despite having fewer people than California.
Wow, so many judgemental people. I couldn't deal with them with the grace that you exhibit on camera.
So good to see you are finally getting the chairs up to Canadania. It is also impressive to see the Speculative expertise of the Armchair Canadian Border and Customs Agents in action. ;-)
Casey, after the first video where you explained all of this, I went and looked at the wife's and mine. They too were not signed. Yes you did explain this well the first time too. I drove into Canada as a CDL driver for years. These border agents can be, *&%$'s. I had to appeal several action. And I won believe it or not. Thanks for telling Us about the signed pass port. Did not know it was to be signed. Been across the border once with it that way too. LOL.
Casey I am glad you guys figured out a way to get those to Canada is the most important thing
Incredible story of what you've been through.
Love your explanations
I travel internationally on a nearly constant basis, and I can tell you that all the preparation in the world is gonna fall short if you bump into the wrong guy who is having a bad day or just mis-interpreting the situation. And there is no one more petty than a petty official, the moment you try to explain where he is wrong you're done. So no judgements or second guesses here, just compliment for keeping your cool and managing to get it done in the end.
🙏 so glad those chairs are gonna make it sooner then layer, byly now I'm betting they're a lot closer if not there now. Awesome. Good people's man 🤙
Sad that plan got interrupted. Glad you found support for your plan. 👍
I never had a doubt that you would figure out a way to get them up to Canada! Sorry that I missed you when you stopped in Hines, Oregon to get fuel. ;-)~ Yes, that is Hines, not Burns where you get fuel. I'll keep bugging you until I hear you give Hines the kudos on your videos... LOL. Great job, once again Casey! Can't wait to see you give that Lazy Bruce Cook a piece of your mind in person... I HATE Casey LaDelle!
Casey, an honorable person in every metric!
Always a way to work around the issues, some times ya just gotta climb over the problem. Let the crap fall from higher up on his side... Calm & Calculated, lol! Thanx !
I think there is a song about Canada that’s very fitting for this situation.
You’re a great man Casey
I had a crankshaft break in Winnamuca in 1973 and had to wait at the truck stop west of town for a week waiting for a new motor. one of the biggest cause of tire blowout is under inflation which really builds heat because of the tire flexing. Border crossings were always a pain.
Shame Canukistan pissed on your parade with the mobility chairs, it's awesome they'll get there eventually.
I always loved doing repairs in truckstop parking lots in hot weather, especially tires.
We may have just missed each other in Winnemucca. If you're ever there again, try eating at The Pig. I always go there when I park at that Flying J. It's only a block or two down by Ridley's
Hey Casey I unfortunately was born in WE THE NORTH and I think you are a ROCK STAR keep up great work.
Try living in Point Roberts and having to deal with Canadian Boarder Agents on a daily comminuting basis. Even if you have Nexus status they can take it away for the smallest of reasons. OH CANADA so full of......
So, when do the "I Hate Canadian Border Patrol" shirts drop?
Or a Canada border patrol hates Casey Ladelle.
More like "Canada border patrol hates Casey Ladelle"
😂😂😂
just dont wear it at the Canadian border eh
As a patreon contributor, I've been looking forward for this video. 👍
I would suggest, the Border agents saying it is down to the "discretion" of the agent at that time translates as "He was wrong and we don't want to lose face"!
I drove into Canada with a bulk tanker once a week sometimes twice a week for about 12 years. I had a fast card which was issued by the United States and Canada jointly. Fast means free and secure trade.
You never know what the Canadian Porter agent is gonna do. Maybe having a bad day and you pay for it anyways I’m retired. Keep the videos coming
They’re always interesting
Got to love the keypad warriors.😂
I too was detain at the Canada border for 4hrs because i used my personal daily driver dually Ram pickup to make a service call to a customer in Canada. They refused to believe the dually was my personal vehicle & not a commercial rig. A HOLES.
I've only seen a couple dozen or so of Casey's videos, but I can certainly tell he's a decent honest guy. He did nothing wrong. Power tripping border guard likely just has a small member.
Glad you got it done
I go to Canada once a month for the past 20 plus years I can totally see how this could happen with border agents. They live a very dismal life and have a tiny bit of authority to intentionally make peoples lives miserable like theirs
So happy it’s all working out. So sorry for our ridiculous government. Hope you’re still coming to visit once they arrive. Oh, and our government also banned bendy straws…. Cheers
Good luck! You make a good job.
I hope notawheelchair got a ton of advertising out of this! Please link their video when they show the finished facility! 😎👍
Driving into Canada can be a pain for Canadians too. I got grilled for a few minutes when I was crossing coming back from my NEXUS interview that took place in the border crossing building.
Fun fact--that stretch of I80 from Wendover to Stansbury Point (Toole), about 99 miles, has exactly 1 fire station and no ambulances, so drive carefully. The one fire station belongs to the air force bombing range somewhere away from the freeway and will only go to car fires if they are not busy with air force stuff.
50 / 50 on shipping. Stay safe.
12000 firefighters in OR and WA. Crews from Australia and New Zealand have arrived. Currently 55 wildfires in OR.
There are 28. 3 of those have been contained.inciweb.wildfire.gov/
I commend you on your patience dealing with the Canadian border agents!!! I would have been so P Oed!!! Glad to hear that you and Zack got it figured out. Suggestion for a compromise... you each pay half of t.he fees and shipping. 😁
You are just a rebel. :D Great work. Keep up the great work you do.
Thank you for sharing - discovered I do not have a signed passport. 😯♥
Casey, you're doing amazing work and that is cool that they will get the chairs. But I do feel we need Canadian broader guards at the US border. 😂
I remember years ago all we needed is your driver’s license. Sorry you’re having a bad time, good luck if you go again. 👍🏼😁
Just goes to prove that there are unhappy bureaucrats in all countries and sense they are unhappy they want to do everything in their power, which they have way too much of, to make other people unhappy. Sorry for the troubles you had and were not able to deliver the Not- A - Wheelchair chairs yourself but hopefully the people who were to get them do finally get to use and enjoy they. Cool that electric skate board saves some were and tear on the shoe leather and the legs it looks like. Neat Idea.
You see even the border agents hate Casey Ladelle!
I remember years ago I was out west at a newly built truck stop. A truck pulled in and dropped his trailer. It was so hot the assault was mushy the trailer went to the nose. He was fully loaded. Had to have 2 wreckers to raise it up. About 40 years ago.
Talk about keeping comments respectful how about keeping them truthful RUclips
I have no desire to go into Canada anymore. Casey now has his picture at every border crossing. “If you see this man call, and detain”
This reminds me of a snappy comeback meant for bullies but works just as well against power-trippers: "Breaking everyone around you isn't going to fix what's broken in you."
Bruce is special.person like you.
Watch his few videos when he was testing his wifes 1st rigs, i was very impressed.
As for as the birder agents, Lord could we borrow a few for our southern borders.
I’ve been watching Casey for a long while and I can tell you he’s not the guy that doesn’t do his homework people write video brother God bless you and your family
Wow that was crappy what you went trhough. Some of those boder patrol guys. A friend of mine pissed them off so what did they do said he was carrying drugs and they literally took his corvette completely apart didnt find anything told him hes good to go and he had to put hia car back together. Ridiculous
It was so hot last week while trainspotting Big Boy threw Winnemucca I ran threw park sprinklers. Can't wait til my next return visit to Crane Hot Springs in Burns Or
