Thank you, I appreciate you watching the video. 👍😎

Absolutely love your critique of vehicles.. Hilarious. 😂🤣 But honest and genuine. I agree with you when it comes to the Tokyo Brothers. Too bad the Tundra went to sixes. RAM is the only choice when it comes to buying a durable "pickup." I am a GM guy, however will admit that I miss the GM platform of old. Never been a Ford guy. Very easy to see that current day GM and Ford pickups are basically Boulevard cruisers. That said, I would take all the aforementioned trucks before buying a ridiculous cyber truck.. 🤣 Thanks for watching the video. Greatly appreciate it. . Drop back again. All the best in 2025👍😎.

Thankyou I was hoping that Mack would produce a pick up truck for the general public use they would be smart to team up with Nissan & turn that Titan into a P/U truck Mack already uses the Titan monicker on one of there big Class 8s

@3:16 that wasn’t a W900, it was a T800 high hood!👍🏾

Thanks Keith, just been back and had another look, yep T800, great spotting 👍

@ you’re welcome my friend and they do kinda look alike! Have a Blessed Holiday!👍🏾🙏🏾

Personally, I've never seen any outtake video. Every entry into this montage were first run commercials on my cable package. They repeated daily for a month or two. Thanks for tuning in.

Happy New Year, Vladimir. All the best to you and your family in 2025. Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I was sick throughout the entire holidays. Hope you're doing well. I always appreciate you tuning into the videos. Cannot thank you enough, Vladimir.👍😎

Happy New Year, Ray. Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I was sick with Nora virus. Basically a stomach flu going around Canadian cities that makes one feel like they were 6 feet under. Haven't time to write further, just wanted to thank you for always tuning into my channel. Always commenting and making me chuckle, or teaching me something valuable. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2025. Stay safe out there, Ray. Chat soon. Chester😎🙏🎉🎄

Happy New Year To You & Yours with a better year ahead for 2025 Chester. Sorry to hear you was down bro that's not good, hope your on the mend now though. I had a bonus this festive season where I managed to stay out of hospital given the last two. Always a pleasure having a chat about a shared interest and other things bro. Take care for now Ray.

Happy New Year, Wilson. Sorry for the delayed reply. I was sick for quite a while with a stomach flu over the holidays. It's making its way through Canadian cities here on the west. My first time experiencing stomach flu, I wanted to plant my head in the Earth and not have it appear ever again. 😂 Not a pleasant thing. I haven't much time to write since getting better, only being healthy enough to post a few Instagram shots,, but do you want to thank you for always tuning into my channel. I always look forward to your entertaining comments and letters. Truly hope you're doing well and the weather is cooperating with work. Glad you had time off to spend with your son. Quality time with family is everything. Ironic, I just removed the bull bar from my RC truck. I spent US$300 on a new aluminum, handmade grill so I want it to be exposed. 😀 I hope to have my RC truck completed this year so I can show it off. It's been in the works for five years now. Sorry again for the delayed reply, Wilson. Just wanna wish you and yours all the best in 2025. Chester😎🎉💪🥃

Hi Joe, thanks for subbing to the channel. I greatly appreciate your viewership. I'm an amateur at video creating, however I greatly enjoy filming and editing. My favourite trucks are log trucks.. Love their rugged yet Boulevard appearance when decked out with chrome and aluminum. Thanks again for watching. Chester👍😎

Hello. Thanks for the question. Yes, for the most part logging occurs throughout the entire year In Canada. (The majority of logging companies are in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.). Winter is the prime season for harvesting timber. Each spring some regions reduce logging to a trickle or entirely shut down for a few months due to winter/spring thaw. Logging endeavours still carry out In different aspects throughout spring breakup. Thank you for watching the video. Much appreciated👍😎

I'm trying my best to live life to the fullest. You do the same, Harry. Thank you for watching the video. Much appreciated. Stay safe out there. 🙏. Until next time.👍😎

I always appreciate your comments, Harry,👍😎

Nice hearing from you, Vladimir. I always appreciate you checking out my videos. Cannot thank you enough for watching. Hope you and your family are doing well. Stay safe out there.😎👍

Hey, Ray, thanks for connecting. Summer 2024 certainly was a dry season. We enjoyed some spring rain, however intense 37-40°C heat of July and August totally depleted what little moisture there was in the forest floor. Around 85% of the video footage was filmed this past summer. Thank goodness wildfire season passed without doing much damage around the North Okanagan region. I wasn't looking forward to relocating had warnings gone up.. Wildfire however did devastate some regions of northern British Columbia. The entire province desperately needs a wet 2024/2025 winter. so far Fall has been much cooler and wetter than last season.. There's 30 cm of snow already at the higher peaks surrounding Vernon. A cold winter will help kill the pine beetle infestation which is destroying British Columbia's softwood resource. As much as I dislike winter I can put up with a few cold months, as long as the cold temperatures do their thing. Our local ski resort needs a profitable season. Last winter was not the best. Not much new with me, Ray. just trying to remain healthy. Hope to post more videos out soon. Stay safe out there. We'll chat next video. I always appreciate your kind words and viewership. Chester.👍😎

Thank for the info in your reply Chester and for what it is worth I think its the same weather wise for most parts of the world. I look forward to your next video when it come, am glad your keeping well at this time. Cheers Ray.

I am really well, Harry. The fall weather is sunny today. Beautiful afternoon. Hopefully you're doing well. Stay safe out there. 👍 Chester.😎👍

Hi Ray, i'm doing OK these days. I apologize for the repost video. The economy is not the best so truck traffic is not what it used to be around Vernon. Fewer trucks on the road compared to five years ago. The cooler, fall air has kept me somewhat indoors. I'm not looking forward to winter. My mind is already set on March. My hope is to post a brand new video within the next few weeks. Getting old is a pain. 😉 Hope you're doing well👍😎

All good still enjoyed it. With the economy like it is your right not as much happening for most of the world. Yeah keeping well thanks and with slightly warmer weather now it helps but better if fine though. Yeah know that feeling, old and not as well as we would like but yet much wise which helps. Stay well till next time bro.

All these videos are from British Columbia, Canada. Thank you for watching. Greetings from British Columbia.

it certainly would be nice to have a Carl and Ray animated movie. It would sell tickets👍😎

Sorry for the delayed reply, Wilson. My ageing eyesight overlooks messages. Fall season has set in. Near freezing overnight temperatures. Low temperatures in the 4C-5C average for the afternoons. Beautiful sunny skies today. I attempt to get out whenever the weather is dry to capture trucks as they pass by my camera. I have slowed down somewhat. Truck traffic has slowed over the past year. Poor economy.. Already looking forward to spring. I hope the weather has improved in your area even though the harsher elements are on their way. Glad your health has stabilized ....just be safe out there. I always appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching the video. Chester👍😎

I'm sorry the "Crash"i videos are turned off. My hands are tied due to copyright restrictions. I have one strike from KZbin regarding the crash videos.. A second strike will harm my channel. Wish the copyright laws were less restrictive so the crash videos can be viewed. The 3 videos remain on my channel in hopes there will be a compromise one day.. Thank you for supporting the crash videos.👍

@@coolbigrigs ah, that's unfortunate. is there no option to upload them to another site or possibly to something like Google drive?

Thanks for watching. Greatly appreciate the comment! 😎👍

@@jaredmccoy3296 I totally agree! Jared has Tom, Brian and the other boys covered. 🤣👍 I'm sorry the light of dusk wasn't enough to continue filming when you made it to the party that evening. Only able to film a few trucks due to the 30+ min turnaround time to Armstrong and back. Dusk disappeared fast. However, I must say I rarely spotted you when out filming daily. Not sure why, just works out that way. Since 2022 I haven't filmed as regularly. Health tissues have kept me bedridden. But I still film when feeling good and hopefully catch you on film in the near future. I appreciate you watching the video. Stay safe out there, Jared.👍 Chester a.k.a. Sofa

@@coolbigrigs Hang in there! OK

@@jaredmccoy3296 I Appreciate the compliment. Wish I captured more footage that night. Yep, all the boys did a fantastic job laying down the new surface.👍

@@coolbigrigs Will do. But man I got to say that I worked grave yard not but a few weeks ago and I don't think I would even back up to a paver like that. That was so Pro stuff there!

@@jaredmccoy3296 Jared, I totally agree with Tom's skill. Total professional.. A seasoned driver and one heck of a nice guy too. Total gentleman. Tom and Brian are always accommodating with me when filming. Plus they never fail to give a wave whenever we cross paths on city streets. 😀 Wishing you a great weekend. Chester👍😎

@@kaushikghosh257 thanks for watching the video. I greatly appreciate it. I have another video coming out soon. Always appreciate your viewership. Stay safe out there.👍😎

@@vladimirshatalov7265 thanks for the kind words, Vladimir. Always appreciate you tuning in. Hope things are going well with you and yours. Stay safe out there👍😎

@@wclearwater1 Hi Wilson, glad you're doing well. When I first approached the Volvos my thoughts exactly, "These Volvos have a few million K on them." All appeared in great operating order. Volvo quality. You mentioned "trailer comparison" from country to country. It certainly amazes me how manufacture companies approached their trailer design. But this argument goes for all trailers spanning each province, state and territory. Here in Canada, each province has mandated regulations for axle spacing & weight capability. I would think regulations would be universal across the country. Would make things easier on manufacturing and the operating pocketbook. Yes, General Motors reintroduced the GMC Hummer in 2022 after a 12-year absence since their discontinuation in 2010. The year GM went bankrupt . Still hard to believe such a company could go bankrupt? Takes a smarter brain than mine to that fiasco out. Lol. The 2024 Hummer EV is priced between CAD $250,000 and $300,000, depending on options. The Hummer weighs 4500 kg, ...1500 kg alone for the battery. 1000 hp. Depending on which Drive mode is chosen. Happy to read you're still transporting autos. The trip down to Darwin must be a pretty good one.👍 I watched a loading of nine cars once here in Vernon. Very impressed with the diligence and effort to get all 9 loadedin their spot for a height and weight logistics. I really respected the driver. The weather was 36 Celsius with no shade. The last to go on the trailer was a Ford F350 crewcab Dually. The biggest challenge of his day. I helped a little with visuals, and eventually he was on his way. Much respect to you, Wilson, traversing Oz to get new vehicles to new owners. Stay safe out there.👍😎

@@blinkie1523 Thanks for watching the video, Ray. All is well here. Been doing a bit of offloading in my power wheelchair. Can't take the dirt biker out of me. Lol. I go places I'm not supposed to, this is what makes life interesting. My next video will be on transport trucks so they'll be a greater variety for you to look at. But I might sneak in a logging truck video before the highway haulers. Hope you're doing well. The weather here has become much cooler around 14 Celsius for the afternoons. The blue summer skies are gone, now mostly gray overcast daily. Not a fan of fall nor winter, already looking forward to spring. Lol. Thanks again for tuning in. I always appreciate your viewership. Stay safe out there. Chester 👍😎

Slowly but sure on the mend I think Chester though we now in middle of a mainly wet windy Spring with an increase in temp has been good, bring on Summer I say! Hey Chester I'm glad you do mange even if a tad difficult to get out do what you enjoy as I tend do likewise. Till next time have fun and keep well Ray.

@@vladimirshatalov7265 thank you for watching the video, Vladimir. I always appreciate your viewership. Hope you and your family are doing well. I always look forward to your comments. Wishing you a great day ahead. Stay safe.👍

Wilson, I apologize for not replying to this message. Totally overlooked it. Always appreciate your comments and thoughts. Life is busy today, Sorry, I cannot write at length. Next video I'll have more time. Stay safe out there, my friend. Hope you're doing well.😀👍

no need to apologise Chester, we are all busy people these days, take care mate 👍

hi Wilson, thanks for watching the TransCanada Highway videos. This trip occurred in May. Took a while to get it edited. Thank goodness traffic is low at this time of year hence the lack of transport trucks rolling down the highway. Another reason we don't see Jamie Davis. Lol. It's only a short 4 Hour Dr. from my place to the destination in the video. Also, Severe thunderstorm drenched the mountains along the Coquihalla section of the TransCanada washing out major Bridges and embankments. A lot of road construction visible in the videos. The female voice heard is my friend Megan. Her son Robert is driving, resting in the backseat is their dog Roman. The dog is heard sneezing at one point. I leant my GoPro camera to Robert so he could film the Trip. I have travelled the highway but not during Summer. . Thank goodness the weather has cooled down. We are experiencing pleasant 24C afternoons which is great to get out to film trucks. At this moment Im editing two new videos which I'll post either today or tomorrow. Cannot believe the price of a new Ford F350! Wow! That's the price of the 2024 Kenworth W900 loaded with options. shipping down under certainly is pricey. I agree, the wise thing is to look for preowned trucks. at least you'll have something left over to buy a wheel or two. I hope you're doing well? Sending positive vibes down under. Chester

Glad you enjoyed it, Wilson. It's something different. I'm working on new, regular truck videos. With the economy not doing well it's certainly shows on the highways with fewer transport trucks. Forest industry is suffering. I'll keep making truck videos as long as there's some trucks on the highway. Thanks again for watching.👍😎

Glad you enjoyed the video, Wilson. I realize this genre of footage is not what I usually post. Wasn't sure how it would be received. I love truck traffic however the main reason I wanted to post this video was to show the beautiful BC mountains. They're not the highest, they're not the most scenic, but they are beautiful, as are the flatlands south of the Kamloops area. i've always wanted to take a bus ride but I think time is running out. Thank you for watching the video. Always appreciate your dealership, Wilson. Hope you're doing well.👍😎

Thank you for the positive words, Wilson. I am always so critical of my editing. I basically use editing programs that are simple for my ageing brain lol.This is why there's no fancy graphics or transitions during the videos. I'm just trying to keep it simple. Thank you for the positive words. They reassure I'm doing OK.👍. Hope this note finds you well.👍😎

Mate, I felt bad that you couldn't view the time lapse videos so I made a point to re-edit the video so you can see the trucks drive at normal speed. Glad you enjoyed the video. I wanted to show everyone the area in which I live. The video was filmed back in May. It took a while to get it edited and posted. After a long summer of 38 C, I'm glad the weather has finally cooled -- the average temp for afternoons is 24 Celsius.. I'm back out videoing local trucks however the economy isn't the best. Tractor-trailer traffic is down 50% from two years ago. I'm trying to capture many trucks as possible. However, many are basic fleet trucks with very little coolness. Soon, the logging industry will be back in the forest and all the new trucks will be filmed for everyone's enjoyment. There's some really nice new loggers out there, beautiful chrome and paint schemes. Thanks again for watching. Hope you're doing great, mate. Sending positive vibes down under. Chester 👍😎

Thanks bro that was pretty neat of you to do that but hey no need to feel bad either. Hope all,s well with you and yours at this time now the weather is getting cooler to. Things are still a tad changeable over being Spring. Thanks for sharing Ray.

I gave that a try in editing. None of the royalty free music I use was long enough for the entire trip. But a great idea for the next time I do time lapse, I'll indeed incorporate music. Just need some music to meet the video length. Thanks for watching.👍
