It'd be cool if you did an video about the history of mail trucks like the llv used in the us.

[@TheLegoPerson]

Ooh yes! It would be cool to see how they changed from the beginning of the post office moving by rail to now, that new semi electric one

[@WormBurger]

I'd watch that.

[@-NGC-6302-]

ooh yeah

[@LocalConArtist]

The Grumman long life vehicle

[@matthewbarymow4402]

Ooo Love the idea!

[@adamspencer3702]

I like it how you always give thanks to the workers at the end. It's a shame it even has to be said but without these hard-working people actually doing the work society wouldn't work for very long, they deserve more respect than a lot of people realize. Great video as always!

[@Blitzumi]

Trolleybusses would be a good idea to make a video about because of their interesting history, i would like to see one!

[@nintendo.revolution]

This channel is proof that you can still find your niche on this platform. Thanks for the great content as always

[@antiquatedideas1107]

Always excited when I see one of your videos pop up. This was another interesting one. I love the "or he fell off the face of the earth bit". Your sarcastic remarks sprinkled on occasion add a nice touch. Keep up the good work man :)

[@owmylehg7811]

Ah street sweepers, my favorite.

[@Gewalt1984]

It's 3:08 am and I'm watching a video about friggen street sweepers.

[@lyrooo326]

Aaaah yes Garbage management one of my favorite topics.

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

I'd like to see some videos on snow removal. I've seen some crazy contraptions myself as well as a bunch of other stuff other used by municipalities far away. My state will often hitch up trailers behind snowplows that are diagonal to the truck, so a single struck can plow an entire highway by itself. I've seen videos of other contraptions that collect snow in a large trailer and then flash melt it or mix it with seawater to melt it and then dump it into the water drainage systems.

[@conradkolo]

What about an episode on tankers (like, trailers for carrying liquids) or maybe the history of cement trucks?

[@Hybris51129]

I use a street sweeper at work regularly to clean the parking lot and dock areas of the property. As it stands I have major issues with the lack of repairability of the modern equipment I have but good grief these early sweepers look even worse unless you had your own smith and/or machine shop to make parts for repairs.

[@Goldenwing117]

Those big ass cranes with all the wheels would be a good video 👀. Like basically a semi truck but a crane. No idea what they’re called.

[@sirBrouwer]

are you aiming at a mobile telescopic crane? they are indeed fascinating

[@anatolydyatlov6182]

@@sirBrouwer i like cranes, like trains but theyre cranes

[@benlanahan5277]

IDK if you would ever do this but a history of snowplows would be so intersting

[@bahnspotterEU]

My city has a few interesting sweeper trucks, which can run both on the road and on rails to clean the tracks of the tram- and light rail system. They even have a third headlight at the top which they will turn on when running on rails (all rail vehicles running in Germany must have three headlights).

[@alexdart]

hey Yukon, a video about Zambonis would be pretty cool! Keep up the great videos

[@The-Urban-Goose]

I love these videos and I'm so happy you showed up on my homepage. Your videos are always top quality, and offer a great insight into something I otherwise would've known nothing about. Keep up the great work :)

[@DUBUND3AD]

Great video as always my man, hope you're doing good

[@77chance]

Its 3 AM, Im sleepy but not tired. Then I hear it, the soft hum and brushes swirling. A late night hero has arrived, sweeping the away the everyday filth and protecting my home.

[@HistoryHype1]

History always has something valuable to teach us. Thank you for sharing this informative video!

[@MrDaeniboy]

awesome video. i wish you good luck on YT!

[@MikeV8652]

The "Horse Manure Crisis of 1894" had me rolling! 🤣

[@kennorcott7074]

Could you do the history of small compact busses? Like shuttles and such

[@ktcottrell]

This made me think: Is there any relation between street sweepers and the invention of the Zamboni machine? They look very similar and it seems that the Zamboni works very similarly.

[@laurenceoverwijn7847]

something something Deadpool reference

[@MikeV8652]

The first Zamboni machines were mounted on Jeep chassis.

[@nicholassilvestri1804]

Great Video, FYI- Trucking in Somalia, or that region of Africa in general, is WILD. Takes days to move just 10 miles

[@sevensixtwo5001]

Wake up babe new Yukon vid

[@danishnaufal5432]

Do a video on army logistics (like trucks etc)

[@Ayaan1386]

I love these.

[@DatDudePlays]

May as well wait for a video about oversized loads

[@Eggyteevee]

I suggest a vídeo about crane trucks, I think a video about these would be interesting to watch

[@christophergore4247]

Do a video on cab under trucks!

[@mortalens]

these trucks are sweeping the nation

[@laurenceoverwijn7847]

Next video: plowing through history: The history of snowplows

[@nathanielmeade5731]

Perhaps the history of how Trucks came to be, or how trucking stays competitive with trains

[@syzl___]

I actually saw one of the ones at 5:28 for sale a few years ago

[@itsJelix]

Love you content

[@boneheadgaming6051]

Sweep sweep sweep!

[@EVZUSX]

6:55 hell yea man, respect 👊

[@artint.1519]

That was awesome

[@Aces_of_Chaos]

Talk about trucking in the ksa. The ~45°c desert and long empty roads across the region The constant fear of the engine overheating and getting stranded Just to get the job done and keep the economy running.

[@jmpmp_505]

You should do the history of ambulances

[@cjatruckphotos]

Fun fact: in the UK road sweepers built on truck chassis tend to be LHD so the driver can easily see the kerb

[@thatguy6614]

Yo my hometown fairborn is on here at 6:10 it's where we have our independence day parade too lol

[@daniellegaming7378]

Do The history of snow plows, Thanks!

[@someguy1865]

A history on those trucks that carry money?

[@nitsu2947]

You should try making a video about Indonesian trucking. Lots of them used Hino trucks

[@Diptera_Larvae]

😂 great title!

[@waffleslayer5000]

history on tow trucks next?

[@AbrasiveCarl]

That little hole on the snow shovel thing at the end made me irrationally angry...

[@natearcher7592]

Great video, however Elgin, IL is pronounced with the “gin” sounding like the name of the liquor.

[@Skorpychan]

I just wish they'd USE the damn things here, to take away all the pulverised grit and salt from the winter. It's sticking to literally everything, the roads are almost as slippery as the ice was in places, and it's costing me a ridiculous amount in screen wash to keep my windscreen clear of it.

[@n8dawg640]

3:32 welp that’s the right pronunciation for the city in Texas, but Elgin, Illinois is pronounced with a soft g, not a hard one

[@MrEpicLeaf]

I have an idea Does The Aland Islands/Åland have trucking?

[@null-pe2yl]

U r officialpy testing my patience

[@braahstututu3572]

How about the history of dakar trucks? Could be a interesting underdog story

[@braahstututu3572]

Or oilfield trucks

@@snoowbrigade Oh, okay! I find chicken salad quite unappetizing, so I took your statement as a reference to having to eat it while watching a video about filth in the streets. If you like chicken salad, more power to you. You're welcome to my share!

[@HuggleNuts]

g in Elgin is a soft g

[@MikeV8652]

Considering that the company is in Elgin, Illinois, then maybe. However, it's that town that got it wrong. Elgin, Texas, has a hard G, as does Elgin, Scotland, seat of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin (1771-1841) - he of the famed "Elgin Marbles" (the sculptures controversially removed from the Parthenon and other Acropolis temples and placed in the British Museum).

[@HuggleNuts]

@@MikeV8652 Pronunciations evolve, I'm just going off how the people who live there pronounce it

[@MikeV8652]

@@HuggleNuts Oh, I know, and you are correct about that. However, when one town adopts a non-standard pronunciation for what is already a known name, somebody like Yukon can't be blamed for not knowing that they did. It's a different story when somebody gets it wrong out of sheer ignorance, as Elgin, Illinois, did in this case.
