That guy totally missed the fact tim was basically saying get the fuck off my fenders politely

[@racekrasser7869]

gotta get shit done...thing's built for work lol

[@fleetwood7941]

Yes, I seen that too…..he should have known that something like that is an (no step) zone. I’m sure those expensive boat trailers have “no step” stickers on the fenders

[@GTLees]

I couldn't believe that I was seein' that! I reflexively took a couple of swipes at the guy to knock him off heh, heh. If his job is loadin' and unloadin' trucks he should be very aware of where to step, and more importantly, where NOT to step. Maybe he's the kinda fella who ya just can't talk to when he's workin'.

[@FrankBullitt390]

Some guy in a company truck probably told him to stand anywhere so now he does.

[@peterwilson4999]

Hi Tim, I just watched your first trip to Canada and I see you came to Lakefield. That is my home town. I've been following you for a couple of years now. I'm a retired trucker and love seeing old trucks being restored. Keep up the good work and hope you enjoy coming to the north.

[@christhornton5680]

I drive in canada and if he was stepping on my fenders like that. i sure would not be as nice as you. Plenty of other places to step.

[@cuttnhorse2013]

I believe I would ask the guy standing on my fenders, please don’t step on my chrome of any kind! Work fenders or not! Piss me off!

[@dylangunter1671]

How you guys think that a shifter that high is great is beyond me. You sure you like it. It can not be comfortable at all. Come over here and drive real trucks.

[@jeffreycairns767]

Good day boys, Just a heads up, in Ontario the speed limit signs say 100/kph but most trucks run at 105 and the cops wont usually touch you under 115. Highway 401 is the busiest highway in North America. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

[@butwhytharum]

Lots don't believe that theres a busier highway than in L.A.

[@jeffreycairns767]

@butwhytharum I figure most would think New York but LA would make sense too.

401 is hardly the busiest highway in north america bud, i guess you haven't been up and down the east coast of the u.s. or been to LA

Just from my personal anecdotal experiences I wouldn't think 401 is the busiest in North America. Maybe through Toronto it's close but the 95 through NY and Washington is pretty bad too

LOL TIM IT's Cheaper To Properly refurbish a clean new trailer then an old trailer you should honestly be trying refurbish every year pick one or 2 for every month you have in equipment 12 trailer 1 a one month 24truck and trailer well 2 a month, spot painting, blasting, inspect everything and no one can complain you always keep one truck and trailer ready for them to take for a month and premium everything once a month for a year go thru repaint and blend all the scratch's, nicks, dings, rust inhibitor, blast then spray inhibitor so it want rust ever again! Powder coat the wheels somebody got an old oven you can build the oven with that but new cost more! everyone complains about maintenance cost but if its kept up everyday its cheaper the longer they go like rust it grows and grows but when new it last years before needing work! Just maintain a New state and simple it will last forever!

Surprised you didn’t say something to the guy walking all over your new chrome fenders with his graveled up work boots. You think about keeping a piece of carpet around to throw on there when workers want to climb on them? Seems like a quick way to scratch them up and ruin them…

[@freedomcontrolled6190]

As a European driver I don't understand US manufacturers lack of skill in using all that room you have in a us semi! European manufacturer's less than half the room & you feel like your sitting on your living room couch. Your cabs feel so cramped compared to ours except of course when you step back into the sleeper then you guys literally have a bedroom we just have a bunk stuck to the back of the seats. Our cab still feels roomier though but Volvo's seem to do much better in this respect though.

At the border in Surrey BC, there's a stone arch that is inscribed with "children of a common mother". That border should always be that easy to cross.

[@cageordie]

Things have changed since the 80s and 90s. The border used to be really casual. I watched a Canadian woman walk out of her house and take her dog for a walk in Peace Arch Park on the US side of the border. In 1999. These days there are agents waiting to pounce in places where the border is easy to cross accidentally. In Derby Line VT you used to be able to enter one Canadian public building from both sides of the border. Now it's a huge issue if neighbors walk across the road to say hello to a friend they've known for decades. One of the things we gave up with the overreaction to 9/11.

The lake area you went through in Ontario near your drop-off point is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway, which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Huron via numerous inland lakes and rivers and incorporation several lift locks. It is 386km (240mi.) long and is used for recreational boating. The water is cold now, but in a few weeks you can swim in it through 'til Labor Day and some years later than that. Glad you liked one small piece of our Heaven.

[@TheByard]

In 1994/5 I worked on the building of the CN railroad tunnel under the St Clair River. We would nip over to Port Huron to the chicken restaurant and other eateries maybe have a beer in the L shaped bar right under the bridge, fill up with gas and head back over. On tunnel breakthrough day I joined the tunnel crew and climbed through the cutter head and into the US. There was a small celebration with the mayors etc. But then a problem the safety dept would not allow us the climb back through the tunnelling machine. So a coach was organized to transport us back to Sarnia, problem two my UK passport was at my apartment on Front Street. We got waved through the US side but were stopped on the Canadian side and the crew handed over ID cards. The head count showed one missing card so, I explained my passport was at home and pointed to the Highrise I lived in. The officer then asked how I gotten passed immigration and into the US. The whole crew chanted as one. He dug a tunnel. We got waved on through and many beers were drunk in the downtown bars.
