I was just thinking, US is full of nice wide and straight highways and interstates and what not, and then they send him through a tight urban area? Surely there must me be a better way to get to Canada than Downtown Mt. Vernon?

@danishpuma unfortunately the US (especially northeast) is full of low bridges and narrow lane construction zones

If it wasn't for the wacky reroutes to avoid highway maintenance (and such) we would probably get less interesting video out of it.

All the other traffic is so chill. How many folks in this video were just going about their day when suddenly you show up with this big boy in all its glory. If I was stopped because you needed to roll through an intersection I'd feel like I'd scored free tickets to a show. "Oh you want me to wait five minutes while you pull out in your beautiful truck hauling massive trailer? Don't mind if I do!" Every time your cab rolls from the torque as you accelerate makes me marvel at the engineering that makes this stuff possible. Great video. Love the truck. Amazing crew. Cute doggo!

But you’ve got to get the pup some Sun-block for his nose out the window!? He’s lovely, glad to be with his dad out on the road! You’ll have to teach him to bark “keep on trucking!” He’s got the voice for it! You had a fantastic crew for this assignment! Eager to please and skilled at doing it - worth their weight etc!

Hi Doug. Love your new truck, and the colour scheme. And your lovely bassett hound, he's gorgeous. The reason I don't have one is because I do prefer cats, mainly the Mainecoon variety. I have a cat that's 23lbs (13kg) in weight. I always promised myself that I'd get a bassett and name him Fred, as we have a cartoon strip in the Daily Mail, which apparently has been running for over 60 years. And its basically about what the dog thinks about his owners. The pyramid looks amazing. Could spend a week in there just browsing. Have to smile at Fred, looks to be teething😊. We too have a pyramid in Stockport, and the flights coming into Manchester Airport use it as a marker, as its part of the flight path as the planes come in. Bad day when its market day and you have to drive a big rig through the middle of it, It was bad enough when my hubby took a wrong turn, we ended up right in the middle of a market in a French town. Hardly any room to turn around. It wasn't good🤣. Normally, the local police close down the local streets so it wouldn't happen, but not on this occasion. The pilots were brilliant, especially Elka(?), she was awesome at her job. That's the type of job I would love to have done way back.
