A friend and a person I used to drive with showed a couple of Jamaicans who were driving in the Pacific Northwest how to chain up. It was snowing and they had no idea how to install tire chains on their tractor. They gave him a gift to thank him for teaching and helping them. The gift was two enormous joints.

The tax office is very corrupt here. I passed my driving test because the examiner likes my mom. Not that i cant drive, i went on to get a PPV license( public passenger vehicle) and i work for a tour company driving 3 days a week or as much as demand makes it. But they just see it as a big money making scheme and some of them accept bribes to pass people. It cannot be stopped unless some reform is done, they have tried shuffling the examiners but they are all in on it so it just slows down for a bit

Longer videos take a hell of time to make of you want to maintain the quality. Unfortunately the KZbin algorithm favours quantity. So if you don't roll out videos very frequently, the algorithm will not push you to more audience. That is why most growing channels stick to shorter format videos (around the 10 minutes mark). And that is what the higher percentage of viewers want. I too would have loved longer format videos, but unfortunately daddy KZbin doesn't encourage them.

We were driving up and down the norwegian russian border on icy narrow roads, the truck sits surprisingly well on those poor roads, we had to drive slow but not too slow, otherwise you would slide off the road. Fun times.

In many cases the Chinese trucks are prefered due to the fact that they are bought new(0km on odometer), have more customization options and they are cabovers so they have a good turning radius in narrow streets.

I'm actually quite surprised to see a video on my country and something I have see on the daily, and learning more than what you get just sitting in a taxi or walking on the road One thing that is very much a problem is other road users being reckless, especially red plate taxis as speed is a big factor for profitability, so moving very fast and recklessly is a common

Jamaican truckers are also known to not use the clutch while driving. It is a sport to float gears there.

Jamaica would've used cabovers just like in Europe and Asia. However, since the '80s rolled, American trucks no longer produce cabovers.

@@bitelaserkhalif, I'm from the Philippines and our semi trucks in that country are mostly cabovers. Cabovers in the Philippines are East Asian and European as well. However, they do use retro American cabovers which are Freightliner and Navistar International. Speaking of American trucks, long nose ones are rare in the Philippines and they're best for pulling heavier goods instead.

0:47 Italy was in the opposite situation until 1978, when they repealed the law which mandated all trucks to be RHD. There was the impression that putting the drivers on the nearside would help them stay closer to the shoulder of the road. The overtake visibility wasn't a problem, as trucks were too slow anyway. Garbage trucks and sweepers are still RHD but I imagine it's the same in most countries.

truck driver was my childhood dream until i change tire on soil, in a rainy season, with 25 or 35 metric ton cargo on top, with a couple of hand tool, pipe, planks, and couple of under rated jack. to top it all off, we have to put inner tube inside of tubeless tire only with leaf spring crowbar to pry it. im still surprise it didn't topple and squish me to death
