Josh I live in Austin. You gotta watch out for the idiots. Good idea going through there at night most of them are asleep one would hope. Used to be a cool place but now it’s so overpopulated with people from elsewhere that it’s just a big cluster. Be safe out there brother.👍👍👍

[@raydavis6979]

Trust this lifelong Texan: you don’t want to be on the road here when the snow flies! People do not know how to drive here on a good day, much less on ice!

[@richardthomas1743]

Hey there Josh. I had won one of your Christmas contest for the BullSnot products. I just wanted to let you know that I received them and today I had a chance to try them out. BullSnot makes some excellent products! I am very impressed with them and would encourage anybody that has thought about trying them to go ahead and do so! I think that they will be very happy that they did! Thank you Josh and thank you BullSnot! 👍💯

[@cr8114]

richard is that you...where were you

[@markvaars37]

I love the glass cleaner I refuse to use anything else

[@davidgoodfellow7977]

Not going to bed for another 37minutes. Thanks trucker josh!!! Already got a long enough day tomorrow!! Keep up the vlogs. Loved them from the beginning from the UK

[@bigdaddydingaling4697]

He should do the POV more often I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes to watch from the camera in his hat and see everything

[@terrymartin3200]

Austin is the capital of Texas. In fact, at about 25:45 of this vlog, the capital building was about 4 blocks to your right. Austin is a good size city, but it is comparatively small. Greater Austin has 2.28 million people, but that is small when you compare it to the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex with 6.39 million or greater Houston with 7.12 million. You do not want to see Austin in the daylight. I-35 is a parking lot from one end to the other. When you think of Texas, think warm Alberta. Texas makes their money from oil and cattle. Texas is comparable in size as each of the prairie provinces.

[@bjross1330]

We travel a lot in the US and find it just as secure as anywhere in Canada. Visited friends that spent their winters in Edinburg right on the Mexican border in Texas. Felt just as safe there as anywhere. Sure there are areas that you don’t want to venture into but we have them in Canada. Driving to Florida next week and Arizona in February . I recognize most of your landmarks. I find it funny that you won’t pay $8. to a business but will drive a W 900 that gives about the worst fuel economy out there.😊

[@whitleysteven2806]

Thank you for visiting Oklahoma 🤠

[@daveysdash]

Thank you Josh for keeping the camera rolling for the night cityscape, and for sharing this Dash!!! - Davey.

[@gerryduffy6700]

£1.56 ppl diesel prices in the UK 🇬🇧 that’s $1.98 ppl USA 🇺🇸 and $2.65 ppl Canadian 🇨🇦. In the UK, they screw us for everything on prices!🫣. Great vlog Josh 👍🇬🇧

[@davidlayne4147]

I couldn't help but sing the lyrics to Austin City Limits as you drove through Austin.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Take care and drive safely, Trucker Josh. Hope Chevy is doing well.

[@alantaylor4213]

Hello Josh UK truck driver here, new to your vlogs, I've watched a few now and enjoy them a lot! Keep it up brother. UK is about 6.40 USD a gallon here 😂

[@Trucker_Josh]

Welcome aboard!

[@joeirion511]

At the very end, when you said you had to move forward....THANK YOU. Way too many drivers nowadays will let their asses hang over the back line at truck stops. That used to infuriate me to no end.

[@VineV-Dutch]

In Europe: you have to pay to park, unless you have dinner or a "triple S". Than they reimburse you your parking ticket. We also have gated security parking. For if you haul high value goods, or you have an expensive show truck.

[@stromxtc2033]

Pronounced... En-ce-nal. I stopped there last time for the churches fried chicken. Ol blue singing along thru Texas. Josh, love your vids. You show that you are always thinking about your situational awareness, in traffic, to parking, etc.

[@belabahn]

Thank you for sharing this journey Josh! -- 1.01 CAD/ liter after conversion is 0.689 €/ liter. (timestamp 4:12) However, today in Southern Germany, diesel costs 1.629 €/ liter (2.388 CAD/ liter).

[@anareel4562]

The joke is that Canada is one of the largest oil producing countries...

[@pierrebelliveau6494]

In the words of country band, Little Texas.... God bless Texas

[@Spiv7]

I am also a truck driver in Europe and I like American trucks !

[@maximegagnon-couturier3923]

Hey we are at $1.89 a liter for diesel here in Delta, just outside of Vancouver BC

[@stromxtc2033]

Here is what the Google killer AI robot Bard says about the OK question Previous sign designs: Some older Oklahoma welcome signs did indeed mention Native America. One design from the 1990s featured a large dreamcatcher and the text "Oklahoma, Land of the Red Man." These older signs are no longer being used as they're replaced with the newer design. Unofficial use: While not on the official welcome signs, the phrase "Native America" is sometimes used unofficially in tourism materials or to highlight the state's rich Native American history and culture.

[@jacobravenwood7968]

It's too bad that you're in a semi. Because if you had been in a regular vehicle, you were not that far from buc ees and for anyone who's ever been to a buc ees it's. A very interesting experience.😅

[@ginnycleary-zq2pu]

Yes Bucees is a huge Convenient Store/gas/Restaurant/Retail Store/Bake Shop under one roof. LOL!! Enjoy Texas Josh, glad to have you come to our state. Stay safe.

[@DavidCinelli7815]

I can see where your driving in Austin is called the spaghetti bowl.

[@powerchairtrucker894]

Yeah, I’d be grabbing as much fuel down there as I could, but is long as I was down there cause that’s unheard of as you know these days

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

Texas state slogan is actually Friendship . i had to google why though tbh LOL. Texas from Tejas the spanish pronunciation of the local indian tribe's word teyshas or thecas meaning friendship or allies !!!!! . a lot of welcome to Texas signs also have don't mess with Texas ( which they meant don't litter ) but was given a diff meaning .PS: you gonna really love traffic during the day !!!

[@JoseCarlos-BarbosaJunior]

Hi Josh, here in São Paulo Brazil the Diesel is 5,99 per liter! Is very expensive.

[@jdb316]

Austin itself is home to almost a million people. They do things larger in Texas.

[@norm-nas]

Get it in high gear, flip the cruise control on and enjoy the job. Great attitude and great way to live.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Palm trees Josh. We're having a great winter here in Minnesota so far. But boy it would be easy on my eyes to gaze on some palm trees. My bucket list has a vacation on the island of Bora Bora, but unfortunately I'm a Poora Poora 😢😅

[@truckingwithjr]

You are going thru there at the best time. During the day sucks. That’s a good place to stop, you are still before the check point.

[@ginnycleary-zq2pu]

Josh yes we have "crazy driver's" in Texas too. Some drivers around Texas NEVER use their "signal lights" & they do hog the LEFT LANE. "Clueless dumb" drivers. Good luck.

[@luckyluciano3982]

OCD Trucker Josh at the end LOL! Don't blame you im the same way ...Shippers love me when i laod up my StepDeck with my OCD :)))

[@carstenmller813]

In Europe many places cost about 10 usd to park... but with free showers... or an discount in the Restaurant... LAst time I was abroad I took one paided parking night.... 10 dollars... Recipe in restaurant 15 dollars for a schnitsel with a good german beer. I paid 5 dollars for that....Many european companies are still open for a shower in their own facilities...I even tried the showers in the private house in France... the house of the company owner... It was 32 celcius... unloaded a compine... he could see I was hot and sweaty... Madame shouted out get him over here... nice bath and lunch with the children who came home from school for lunch break.... and I do not speak a word of French...anyway good lunch and a bag to go on the road... with a bottle of wine.. saved for the weekend... French kindness... meeting it many times...

[@JudyHart1]

How cool was that, a great memory.

[@philiplindley7384]

You make me smile with your parking jitters, Josh 😀

[@MichelCastonguay]

I always park overnight, engine out... my struggle is to find a parking spot avoiding to be disturbed by noisy rattling engines, reefers, air dryers, noisy fans, etc

[@alf637]

Hello Josh. In Spain at a cheap company's gas station, a liter of diesel costs 1.33 Euros. At Repsol or Campsa gas stations (the most common companies) the price per liter of diesel is approximately 1.55 euros.

[@erwinn.7023]

Diesel at Flying J in Sherwood Park Alberta is $1.549/ liter

[@MattHobbie]

I drive a cargo van--nothing even close to what you're driving-and I get annoyed at drivers that want to drive in formation at your side. Lead, follow, or get out if the way! 😂 I have a delivery route in the Joplin, Missouri area. We're based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

[@carljohnson8312]

Thanks for the video. Was nice to see Texas again. Also, in regards to the parking, always go with your gut feeling.

[@billmcdonald0256]

We Lift up that Trucker in Prayer Keeping them safe 🙏 From The truck Fire 🔥

[@GregM]

Last gas price for regular gas here is .99/l here in Winnipeg. LOoks like diesel here is 141.9/L CDN

[@littletrucker89]

Josh, your night mode on that GoPro is actually really solid. I personally have Zero complaints. And next time you come down go through Dallas on 35 E and through Austin at the North or Sputh end stay Right. That will take you up on the upper ramps. When I hit Austin Inise the upper ramps. Prettier views and fewer exists to deal with merging traffic. Also the “Express Lanes” or “Toll Road” in Dalls and all of TX is called T Tag, TX Tag and also verify with your company but I believe the order blue EZ Pass are comparable with TTag and KPass (KY). I know that the Long Whote “Elite” bar is comparable with all the states now. Even SC, NC, GA and FL as well as NY and the Burrows.

[@krizington85]

18:41 It's just like Highway 2 in Alberta, only much warmer!

[@JB-xc5ji]

Welcome to Texas Trucker Josh! Lone Star State is our slogan, but we put that on the sign for other reasons. It used to say something like, don't litter, but when you live in Texas, we don't really see the sign much... From Texas Josh to Trucker Josh, drive safe and enjoy your stay.

[@jaredmartin911]

Encinal Loves is a great spot. The TA/Flying J just north of Laredo get crowded.

[@maxihaugh1267]

Hey Josh, That Pilot Flying J is located in North OKC it is technically south of Edmond. That Blue Beacon is located at Morgan Road exit just off I 40 West. Safe travels driver.

[@MegaGeorge1948]

As of Nov. 1, if you’re riding in the left lane without passing another car in Alabama, you’ll be pulled over and issued a citation. The new law goes into effect as a means of combating road rage.

[@Hockeygeek35]

Good thing i live far from Alabama lol. Bit of a wierd law

[@exPDXbear85]

​@Hockeygeek35 you must be the one that goes speed limit in the left lane

[@Hockeygeek35]

@@exPDXbear85 nope I actually cant even drive yet lol. Soon tho

[@gun031]

That road ranger is one my favorite truck stops in Laredo area. I'm from East Texas.

[@joepoppenhagen5694]

Happy trails to you!

[@toddsullivan3544]

G,day Josh another awsome video mate,our diesel price in my town in Queensland Australia ranges from $1,91 per litre to 1.95 per litre and premium petrol{Gas} $1,81 ,9 to $2,05,9

[@elijames3041]

Hay there Josh

[@judithfarkas2636]

Hi trucker Josh. The hubby and I enjoyed your trip down to Texas it’s been about 20 years since we were in Dallas Fort Worth still looks like the traffic is just as crazy 🤣.

[@byronmoon8351]

Yes it's Edmond Oklahoma. I used to live 15 miles east from that truck stop in Luther Oklahoma but now I live in Washington state

[@powerchairtrucker894]

Especially when you’re on the truck the safer bet it’s always your best bet

[@raymondbradley6788]

Good job always go with your gut instinct

[@moretoknowshow1887]

I know that stretch of road from OK exit 1 south, as I come up from Denton Co. TX to that Winstar casino every once in awhile. Also, we have a huge problem here in TX with people using the passing lane to block up traffic..

[@philbrand8820]

Austin is large and has a big music industry. During the day the traffic is very heavy!!!

[@rafaelmax777]

I was just through there a few weeks back, got stuck in Laredo for a week wth no freight going back to Michigan,, did most of my 18yrs of driving in Texas, safe travels my friend...

[@daniel2609uk]

Diesel prices in the UK have dropped recently, still expensive though. I paid £1.45 per litre yesterday which equates to 2.46 Canadian dollar per litre

[@LuckyNiels]

The Netherlands, 1.699 Euro a Ltr. So that would convert to 2.48 CAD a Liter for Diesel

[@mrvideodude709vlogs5]

Nice way to start off 2024, sunshine in Oklahoma

[@raydavis6979]

Just a note: the word “Texas” is actually “tejas,”. Means “friend.”

[@exPDXbear85]

I commented earlier. I do 35w every day. Youre driving my route. I go to san antonio regularly. I hate the traffic, i try to arrive by 6am and avoid all the knuckleheads.

[@The80Doc]

Diesel in West Aust is currently $1.99 a litre on conversion 1.78 Canadian a litre

[@guybuddyman838]

I think it's fun to do stealth kind of off the beaten path type parking sometimes.

[@kevinmallernee5054]

1.89$ a liter for diesel near Quebec, that is a huge difference haha

Diesel is currently $2.06 a litre and that is cheap compared to what it has been. Sydney, Australia

2009 was also the year me and dad did a east coast USA drive in December 2009

[@dxer12]

Yes you were on 35w through Fort Worth, 35 E goes through Dallas and each is close to 100 miles long. Tex express lanes are quite costly

[@EdExTechur]

[@robinpeterson7418]

Hi Josh, just to let you know that diesel in the UK is roughly, cos we do GBP per litre and it’s complicated arithmetic, about 9 USD per gallon. Please stop banging on about Canadian prices! 😢

[@annettecadby9034]

Diesel in the UK today is £1.45 per liter

[@cfvrq]

In Toronto yesterday, it was $1.56 per litre for diesel

Here’s a tip for when driving through DFW, the express lanes you were talking about do not charge vehicles with out of state license plates. I drive on them all the time with my Saskatchewan plates and have never paid a cent.
