The cars at the Honda dealer are under cover to prevent hail damage. A lot of dealers in Calgary have them. A few years ago Calgary had a bad hail storm and damaged a lot of cars.
If you could afford that Brand New 589 just as a show truck, you're more than financially able to hire a person to keep it clean. As for the cabover, I was thinking 1985, only because Kurt Schmidt "Trucking with Schmidt" recently pointed out a cab over and mentioned it was mid 80's. I started driving legally in 1979, seeing a cab over in Ottawa was rare, the vast majority had a nose. So I was kind of surprised to learn they were still producing cab overs through the mid 80's.
I was close I was guessing 1986, if you've never drove one there's on room, no comfort, and no ride. Why is nobody hanging out at the police booth 😆 I hauled a crane boom way back when, just a single boom from S.C. to Denver only 5,000#. I see they have figured out how load more than just a single boom section. Stay safe
Yo Josh, I stopped at a Subway at the Flyin J in Tilbury, Ontario. For one Italian Sub $13.50 plus tax lol. Not cheap anymore, but thanks to you I'm hooked on the bean to cup coffee. Be safe and drive Ole Blue like you own her.
Come on July 5 that is when Stampede starts, and that is when the country music starts, anyway welcome to Calgary and I hope you enjoyed yourself, Be safe on the roads. I have a new admiration for the long haul drivers, we were on the road to Edmonton, and We still don't have water soon I love your vlogs thanks again The cars are undercover because of the hail storms we have, it protects the cars
Those covers aint to protect from the sun and snow its for hail i bet cause if u can see the car the sun can hit it same with snow unless its made of glass snow and stuff can go under anything even a garage door so thats y i think those r to protect the rigs from hail sometimes alberta gets hail storms i heard anyways i never seen it tho but i know ppl who live up there
the 1987 Cab over the I know the owner of that Truck and that was is Drag Racing Truck that was in the Trailer and plus I got to Ride in his Drag Racing Semi years ago in Mission Raceway Here in Mission B.C
I could be wrong, but I believe the main reason why that dealership has all the cars under cover is so they don't get hail damaged. Calgary is known for they're golfball sized hail, sometimes baseball sized. Safe trucking!
Hi Trucker Josh nice day and veiw that you had for your Calgary Expo for the Company that your working for glad you had a chance to meet a lot of people and have fun have a great rest of your weekend stay safe on the road and god bless 🙏😊
Here in Texas a lot of the big new car dealers have their cars under those types of covers. I always assumed it was for the hail we get every so often.

That's so awesome....I just saw me and my boys on your vlog, we were walking around those two beautiful Pete's at the show. Sweet!!
Hi Bro. The purple peterbilt was stunning. For calgary being the rodeo capital of canada I didnt see many cowboys but plenty of indians lol
No show is ever too small. Love to see the pride some of these drivers have in the care of these trucks - they are beautiful.
Right ? I agree with you 💯 percent.

Josh, if possible, could you someday make a video of how the logbook works in Canada? 🍁 Thanks, bro.
Yeah , good request.
Here in Fort Worth Texas all of the new car dealerships have the cars covered. It protects them from hail damage.
Wow, that' a really nice color on that first rig, Aqua & White

I believe that hail damage is a problem for those new cars
Wow, Josh! I said 1985! Almost. Nice trucks.
Love the 589s
The expo looked like a good time I thought the cab over was a 79
The purple Pete and the ocean cabover is sweet!
Hope you had an awesome time and I hope you found lots of drivers
Josh, Thanks for the tour of the small truck show at McMann Stadium Parking Lot. It was really a Truck Driver Recruiting Expo.
That red 87 Cabover was sweet. The torquise 589 definitely looked like a show truck. Hate Country Music. Is so predictable. See ya

As far as the new 589.. It's looking good, but you know..
Not the same.
Like most... I was guessing 1985. Small expo but still good.
Hi Trucker Josh nice day and veiw that you had for your Calgary Expo for the Company that your working for glad you had a chance to meet a lot of people and have fun have a great rest of your weekend stay safe on the road and god bless 🙏😊
weren't you looking at a cab over around Covid time ? ( mid-late 2020)
There are many different smells that smell like money to different people. I run a honey wagon, that smells like money to me.
Hi josh is Andy came to this show or not I know him from long time he is v nice and humble gye
And from what I’ve heard the water is still shut off in Calgary
Hey Josh Safe travels-Robert J OKC
I would say the trucks late 80s
Here in Texas a lot of the big new car dealers have their cars under those types of covers. I always assumed it was for the hail we get every so often.
Probably a little to do with Insurance premiums and acts of god too.
So happy you met some of your fans❤
Hi josh is it a kenworth k200
Great video, Josh. 🎉
No hail damage either
❤
