Hello Josh! I was an owner-op for many years. For the last five years till 1988, I was with Cougar Fright Systems. I'm very happy for you having finally gotten your dream truck....... Nothing beats a W900! My ex-wife turned me on to watch your vlog. Years ago she and I ran a team. coast to coast with CP Express. Congratulation and good luck with your W9, It's a beautiful tractor and I know your going to rig it up and win a lot of truck shows. God bless you and keep you safe
I'm always impressed by your ability to remain calm when presented with these, erm, challenging loads. I'd be getting very hot and might even make a complaint to whoever is standing closest to me. Maybe it's something you gain after 10+ years on the road, I'm not there yet. That load would piss me right off.
Josh, before I retired, I had 44 years in heavy-duty trucking, most of it in maintenance. Keep your services right on time, (or even before,) and use quality oil & filters, and any other components you need to replace, and you'll go a long way towards your goals. I had company lease & rental trucks (most with Cummins,) that went a full million before having to touch the motors. Also, fix the "small stuff" before they turn into "big expensive" stuff!!!
This is the first time I have noticed the dash at night!….it looks great! Very impressive. Maybe you could walk us through all the gauges sometime. If you do, make sure it’s at night.😎 thanks Josh, be safe trucker.
I'm so glad you're having a great experience with Ol' Blue. You did make a good choice in trucks and you're so deserving of it as well. You did a super fine job of securing and tarping that complicated load. Safe travels with Lord Diesel onboard riding shotgun.
damn dude that's impressive ( strapping that down). i'm not a truckers but a lot of times when i pass trucks and see how they strapped load i think that would give Josh anxiety !!!! lol
another top video josh,top job mate,on the fines they are crazy here in australia too, each spelling mistake in the paper logbook costs $700 (we still run paper logbooks here) the government here has been trying to get all trucks off the road and send freight by rail b ut what they don,t realise there are so many places here not accessable to the rail and when the train gets to the other end it has to go on a truck anyway
So good to see you & Diesel. Josh you did great putting the tarp on the back end. Loved seeing the full moon. I hope you can get a picture with the 5 planets in alignment with the moon. I enjoy hanging out with you & Diesel. Hope you got a good nights rest. Your eyes are soheavy..
Wouldn't a "Roll Tight" be a more efficient way to handle this load (If one available.)? While it wouldn't have negated the need to TIE DOWN all the LOOSE components, TARPING wouldn't have been that much an issue as you had. Sure wish we had some RAIN here in TEXAS, we NEED RAIN BAD. You can KEEP the SNOW, if you'd sent TEXAS and SOUTHERN USA some rain it would be MUCH APPRECIATED. Cheers from Deer Park, Tx. 🙂
The old Josh is back. You tried, but your heart didn't seem to be in that local company driver gig. My interest fell off too. You're new enthusiasm has me looking forward to the new adventures of Diesel and Josh.
Oddly enough, the same system that affected you in Saskatchewan and Alberta over the past few days will bring us here in Newfoundland 100 -150 mm of rain this weekend
We've been kinda in a drought here in Tennesse. No rain for at least another week or two. It's been hotter than normal for this time of year. Was 95-98 degrees all week and the heat index said it "felt like 110". It for sure did. Was so humid you could see the water droplets in the air. Next week is gonna be even worse with the actual temperature being 101-102 and I don't even wanna know what the "feels like" is gonna be.
I like the new trucks like the Peterbilt because certain models come with an all digital dash display and a automatic transmission so you don't have to shift gears.
Would you think it would have been easier to tarp whole load thus giving a bit more load restraint on the lighter parts of load.... Great vlog as per usual
Over engineering is the exactly term that you could use. Everything is going over on the last time… over expensive, over engineering, over political, over green… Living is like a endless spin, when we hit the top we’ll discover that 90% of the process is irrelevant, like the load that u need to warp. That all fill out brains and empty our wallets. Trucks are made to trucking and not to be driven by suit guys. We need horsepower, big sleeper, chrome and good diesel prices, all the other things are just “things” and could be leaved for office guys. Soon I’ll be living in Winterpeg and hope to know you Josh, your videos are a helper to me on my life goals! Keep trucking and hammer down!
My opinion is CAT made the best diesel motor and unfortunately the emissions got so ridiculous that they opted out of making any more road motors. I really dislike the new motors. I’d say you have the second best diesel built. It’s also old enough so as you don’t have to play the DEF game. Old Blue is truly a beautiful tractor and something to be very proud of owning and drive every day. May she bring you and your family many years of reliable,profitable and enjoyable service. 👍😎👍
Guy AB is like a 5 hour trip from Edmonton and weather is kinda crappy safe travels Josh. maybe one day i will see you drive OL' Blue driving through Edmonton. and yes guy is pronounced as gee lol its french thats why.
I fully endorse your point about unnecessary gizmos. I don't drive a truck but its exact same in cars. I dont use most of the new stuff and are potential trouble givers. I fully enjoy your vlog. Best wishes from India
Good video Josh I agree they put wayyyyy to much tec in cars trucks etc while it’s helpful it’s also a curse like u say because u can’t fix it ya have to get them to fix it and of course that’s the money trail for them it won’t be long before no one but them can fix it and of course charge like a wounded bull keep on going Josh always interesting to go along for the ride with u n wees
its awesome to old Kenny Blue all shiny and strong looking. Welcome to Kenny blue Josh and weasel Vlogs. Chin up Fight Strong Power through struggle and keep make amazing content. thank you aka kenny blue is old blue lol
@@Trucker_Josh yes it ends up at the northbound hwy to Saskatoon. Eliminates all of the congestion of east Victoria hwy to ring road. Especially during rush hours...
HEY JOSH where are you? haven't saw you since the 15th on vlog 2558. you sick or something? is ol blue still running/ let us know if all is ok. stay safe
Looks like someone is getting a grain silo for there farm I am still wondering if u own ur own truck do u still have to be governed to 100kph an can u turn it up
Silly question. On top of the second stack from the rear if the trailer there is a bundle with red tape. Was that supposed to be tarped as well. You stated the red taped area needed to be tarped. My bad if I am being silly.
Hey Josh, do you also float when downshifting? when i drove an 18speed i found it much smoother to double clutch on downshift. and of course id float when accelerating. Curious if maybe i just wasnt rev matching it as perfect as needed to float on the downshift. Thanks and keep driving safe :)
I'll say it for you, modern vehicles are just piles of computerized garbage that dont add anything to the driving experience except downtime and repairs where there wasn't any previously.
What time does it get dark outside for you? It seems like there is still a lot of light outside even know its late in your vids. I'm from Kansas and it gets dark here around 9 p.m. CST.

As a owner operator here in the western US, I couldn’t agree more with you assessment on todays trucks.
This is the first time I have noticed the dash at night!….it looks great! Very impressive. Maybe you could walk us through all the gauges sometime. If you do, make sure it’s at night.😎 thanks Josh, be safe trucker.

Nice spoken, about the truck engineering.
So nice to see the Diesel in his natural habitat. Can’t wipe the smile off his face.
When I filled the Kenworth with diesel yesterday, here in Australia, it was $2.39/litre. Ouch! Glad I'm not paying the fuel bill!
Merci! Super interesting videos, I love it 😀👍🏼
I recently bought a new to me older truck with a standard transmission. I love floating the gears.
damn dude that's impressive ( strapping that down). i'm not a truckers but a lot of times when i pass trucks and see how they strapped load i think that would give Josh anxiety !!!! lol

Minimum ticket in New Brunswick is $172.50. Doubles in construction and school zones
That pool analogy was really genius... It just all worked out as you described it from what I can tell LOL
I like the new view from the interior of the cab. You really have to love your job to spend 4 hours to tie down the load while not on the clock.
Good analogy. Look before you leap to avoid getting into a jackpot which is something you can't get out of.
Ol Blue is one good looking truck.
Ol Blue hauling a grain bin! Or at least parts of one.
Listen to those turbos. She's loving that cool night air.
So good to see you & Diesel. Josh you did great putting the tarp on the back end. Loved seeing the full moon. I hope you can get a picture with the 5 planets in alignment with the moon. I enjoy hanging out with you & Diesel. Hope you got a good nights rest. Your eyes are soheavy..
Yet another awesome vlog the load looking great after securement.
Safe journey onwards, keep on trucking
🚛💨🚛💨🚛💨🚛💨😎😎💪👍
🏆
Thanks Josh & Diesel! Another entertaining video!👍👍👍
i saw muddy boot prints on the floor...... no boots in the truck lolol
Check "tracking passion" the guy drive Kenworth 900 straight pipe
and strong jack break
Great to see you are enjoying your new truck josh and it's always a pleasure to see diesel ya'll stay safe out there on that road 😀

mannnnn ive been watching you for years. ive never been so excited to see your experience with ol blue. you have been talking about this forever!
Yeah, that would get old. At least you don’t actually have to shift through all 18 gears though.
Oddly enough, the same system that affected you in Saskatchewan and Alberta over the past few days will bring us here in Newfoundland 100 -150 mm of rain this weekend
very nice advise thanks
I have the same Sweater the red one with the white strings and zipper
I Float the Gears, Clutch doesn't serve a purpose to me besides stop/starting lol
Wow, that is was a complex load to strap down…and tarp. Lots experience sure helped. 👍
Hi josh
Your lucky with your free dog parks here in UK £10 per hour
Stay safe josh diesel and brit
Coffee and a Trucker Josh vlog works for me.
Damn I'm in Fox Creek right now.
Cheers josh love the vlog most straps I use is twelve on paper reels you and diesel stay safe
I was just at the Iowa80 and there’s a toy truck version of Ol’ Blue! It’s even the colour blue 😁

the newer trucks you gotta put def in it while doing a handstand...the older ones just put diesel in it and go

Good vlog Josh, Ol' Blue will treat you well. Nice to see you back in my area. Give Diesel a scratch for me. Have a great day. Thanks.

Josh I agree with your comment and I am a heavy truck mechanic in Ontario the good news is within 24 months all diesel will stop using DEF.
Really? No more def?
Woohoo!!!
Speeding tickets in the states aren’t cheap either
Guy AB is like a 5 hour trip from Edmonton and weather is kinda crappy safe travels Josh. maybe one day i will see you drive OL' Blue driving through Edmonton. and yes guy is pronounced as gee lol its french thats why.
You will do great You just getting started You will be blessed
I know the camera makes it darker than it is but Im glad you can see cause my anxiety was through the roof when you pulled out of the rest area lol
Wow that is one mess of a load to get secure!
Be careful resting hand on shifter cuts life in half on clutch gears. Great vids as always
Diesel here in Ireland is at €2:15 a liter that's the highest its ever been and every day it keeps going up.

Lloydminster's main street is the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Looks like a grain bin. I pick those up in assumption Illinois
You need to replace those burnt out candles that you have for headlights with a good set of heated JW speaker led a world of a difference
Huh? My headlights are already LED and they're super bright...
I've said it many times that UA-cam darkens everything. They're really good actually
@@Trucker_Josh well my bad only the second video of yours I watched my first and last
Good video Josh I agree they put wayyyyy to much tec in cars trucks etc while it’s helpful it’s also a curse like u say because u can’t fix it ya have to get them to fix it and of course that’s the money trail for them it won’t be long before no one but them can fix it and of course charge like a wounded bull keep on going Josh always interesting to go along for the ride with u n wees
I work in Lloydminster hahah wish I would've seen you guys roll through!!
its awesome to old Kenny Blue all shiny and strong looking. Welcome to Kenny blue Josh and weasel Vlogs. Chin up Fight Strong Power through struggle and keep make amazing content. thank you aka kenny blue is old blue lol
Lloydminster Saskatchewan Alberta Dog Vlog!
I can’t imagine using the clutch every time I shifted having a 18 speed that would be exhausting lol
Thanks!
Giver Josh like the new Kenny to you sunny 🌞 side up from sarnia ont
Je suis tellement happy for you bravo mr joch 🇨🇭🇨🇭🙏🙏🐻👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👀👍
You need some nice blinding head lights 👍🏼
Mine are very bright already
Take the new ring road around the south end of regina and you'll miss that crazy construction zone.
If I'm going up through Saskatoon?
@@Trucker_Josh yes it ends up at the northbound hwy to Saskatoon. Eliminates all of the congestion of east Victoria hwy to ring road. Especially during rush hours...
And I found a 1978 kenworth C 500
the lights at construction sights sre so annoying🤣
Ya got a grain bin
With that type of load you put on you need lots of straps roughly how many straps you carry 40 or so
Looks like you're headed to Whitecourt, Alberta.
Up here in northern Manitoba gas is 2.15 a litre
Vlog#2558 You're pulling an Inuvik load.
New sub here love tha channel
Perfect video
Yes Guy AB is pronounced the way it’s spelled
I've been thinking about owning my own Truck and I wanna look at eighties seventies Or nineties model
Holy man josh you look spanked need a nap
Hi, shall I ask something, for how much you brought this beauty and engine power
Hello Josh 👋 loving ol blue 👍

At 2$ it’s 5.90 usd.
HEY JOSH where are you? haven't saw you since the 15th on vlog 2558. you sick or something? is ol blue still running/ let us know if all is ok. stay safe
You can keep up more on Facebook and Twitter and you'll be in the loop :)
Have you ever been to Vancouver Island?
Is it Avalon Dog Park?
Looks like someone is getting a grain silo for there farm I am still wondering if u own ur own truck do u still have to be governed to 100kph an can u turn it up
Is ole blue cut back on power and speed. You said its rated for 700hp

Makes sense.
@@paulasauder1945 I thought maybe I was heating things. Had to go back and rewatch and listen.
I was gonna comment the same thing 😆

Hi
Question ?? Kumins or caterpilar?👀🐻🇨🇭👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Read the video description 👍
👍🇨🇦🌧🇺🇸🌞 🏊 agreed good advice 😀
What do you like to run for oil. Im a big believer in Shell Rotella T6 but its getting hard to find
Did I see a cabover?
When you first starting trucking what company did you work for? What'd you haul, did you start on decks and just run with it?
Think he’s been with Keystone since he started, his Dad has driven for them for years, plus other relatives also.
Is it just the way the light hits the steering wheel or is it an odd shape ?
