I drove that part of the hwy in Aug this year. First time in 30 years, I live in Ottawa. The other end of the country. It is so beautiful out there, I did follow a tractor and his/hers rear trailer wheels were on some of the cement curbs. It's wild. Can't wait to do it again..
I remember being a little kid in the middle of a whiteout with my family in the mountains and we managed to get to our destination by following you trucker dudes. I know my dad was white knuckling the steering wheel. Ended up with 5ft of snow in the morning.
Love it. Never thought it was a bad ride, made that run several times with no issues. The road is not that dangerous it’s the bad drivers that make it dangerous
Tim Ashley Very true, it’s the highway most drivers take, including all the inexperienced flat landers. I love my flat lander friends, but we all have bad apples and with the combination of inexperience it gets dangerous.
I disagree. This can be a VERY dangerous road, especially in winter. Even outside of winter, storms can dump snow and ice in large quantities on the Coquihalla. If you hit black ice, even at moderate speed, you're f**ked.
Brought back a lot of memories of the Coq. and the Connector. Use to drive Greyhound Coach and Freight Semi. Coach was a dream in almost any condition but bobtailing a tractor was the worst. Thanks for the ride.
You must have nerves of steel, I just couldn't drive the miles you guys do in the winter conditions. I hold a lot of respect for truckers. God Bless my friend and stay safe.👍
I actually enjoy the winter driving, sure beats the summer RV season. And the Coquihalla isn't the highest pass I drive, that video is coming this week.
@@JuanRempel we used have a strawberry festival here before the COVID-19 xirus started up and I went to it every year.I don't know when they're having a again cuz it's ran by the Town of Deer Lake, Newfoundland.
My dad (Jeff’s grandfather ) worked in the Coquihalla for the CPR in the 30s and 40s as a section hand, a fireman, and an engine man. His stories were captivating. When they first announced the highway, he was dubious... “they’ll never be able to keep it open.” They bypassed some of the worst stuff by going up through the pass. For the KVR, the whole of the Coq was a smasher. Oh, dad always pronounced Portia as “PORshuh”. Many Coquihalla names reflect Andrew McCulloch’s enjoyment of Shakespeare. Thanks for this video. Loved being able to be a passenger at 30 kph rather than a driver at 130 - ish..
Oh wow, people still finding me on this old video, you should check out some of the newer ones on the Highway Thru Hell playlist. How long did it take to get used to Alberta winters, I grew up in Manitoba winters.
I remember the 1st time I drove the Coqu, in Aug 1986, going to Expo 86. The Toll/Troll Booths were at the Summit. I remember paying and then it seemed like Straight Down until Hope. I remember seeing many Car/Trucks and Semis stilling on the side, Smoke Billowing off their Brakes. My Ears Plugged Up on that Stretch, and I couldn't hear well for about a Week, and 2 trips to the Doctors Where I live, that 3rd Lane for Slow Vehicles would, have been converted to a god damn Bike Lane
Florida girl is really obsessed with the Box Canyon & the short cut #1. Also, the big White Rock. You really do it right thru the curves & tunnels. Keep on 🚛ing Juan. 🐞🎧🗻👀🥂. Thanks for the post.
3:13 - "Sowaqua" It's pronounced SUH WALK WAH - Accent on the middle syllable. My dad managed the logging company that logged up Sowaqua, Dewdney, Peers, Cedar, and probably a few other creeks in the 60's. There was limited public access at that time as the logging road and pipeline road were gated. Spent many interesting hours riding around with him during the summer holidays. The road up Sowaqua creek was really F'ing steep. I remember once an off-highway Mack logging truck lost it coming down that road. It was in an area that hadn't been logged yet, so there were lots of trees on the low side of the road. The tractor ended up about half way out into thin air, wedged between a couple of trees. The water tank kept the load from coming through the cab, and the only injury was to the driver's Stanfields.
Hi-lo from sunny soggy sussex in the uk. 🤣Thanks 4 sharing! In slow mo! 🤣 that's some climb! , but awesome! Views , mountains etc! , gr8 clip! Be safe guys👍🙏💜👌
thanks for your video we drove that highway wife wanted to go see Jamie Davis yard at Hope and then continued up Prince George Thank you Andrew from Australia
Mr. Juan K : Here I am again. 🚛ing along with you & your wife. What a treat. Really like your videos, I'm a Highway Thru hell fan, from a Florida girl. 🐞🎧👀🗻🥂. Thanks for the post
heard the hwy cut thru a snow belt region. even during July mid summer can have snow. so it won't be little smow when cold. tks for the vid. . vaya on con dios
Hi from Deer Lake, Newfoundland. I love watching your videos and I really enjoys them. I never been to British Columbia and I really enjoys the scenery there. You have awesome looking scenery.
We always said the same about Newfoundland....we visited 4 years ago in July, first thing we did was buy some winter jackets, we really want to come back and spend more time.
Thanks for the tour Juan, I finally saw the `coke` (as they call it) for the first time this Summer, up to Merritt to see an old friend.... I recognize the features and I`m planning another trip next year to Kamloops with a loop to Kelowna and back down the coke --- I`m a Van Isle boy and need to see more of this beautiful Province :) Thanks again for sharing and God Bless :) (subbed)
Thank-you, much appreciated. I always wish people liked my new videos as much as this one. I guess I just need to work "Coquihalla" into all my titles lol.
Sometimes Merritt to Kamloops can be worse with all the flats and high winds it can be a very slow drive once last winter at Inks Lake brake check must have been 30 trucks parked because none of us wanted to go down in to Kamloops
Love the video. I drive to and from the coast/Kelowna whenever I get the chance. Met the HTHell drivers, great bunch of guys. See Quiring out there all the time too. Camera time is split a couple days to this company, couple days to the next. Keep filming, I will definitely watch
Thanks, I don't get to drive the Coconut very often, but when I do I shot some video. I actually prefer the 1 or 3, I find them more beautiful but the Coquihalla is fun too.
Feel for you speed wise, beautiful drive, but only ever drive it in a sedan and it feels like a long enough going 100-120km/h. Only drove it once in winter, wouldn’t want to go in a storm. Did the crows nest (#3) with compact snow on the road, and that was dicey enough.
I came down shylock one year...fully loaded super B. Jakes set to keep me at the speed limit with little braking. I look in the mirrors and see smoke coming from the pup axles.....uh oh! I had visions of my brakes glazing and me going full speed the rest of that hill.....I did finally manage to get stopped....turns out an airbag had grown a leak...was rubbing on the pup tires. Never been so scared.....lol
Great vid. There is a lot I've missed on the show considering I only discovered it on the Weather Channel about 2 weeks ago. What brand truck are you driving . ? I drive an 18 Volvo VHD with a 12 speed automatic. It has a 600 horse Volvo engine. For steep hills. going down , I pull it to manual and usually run it It power + going up. Unless its dicey then I pull the hill in manual so I can be downshifted before I break traction . I live and drive in Interior Alaska. Again, really enjoyed your vid.
Sorry, I missed your comment. It took awhile to get used to the Auto, but I was offered a truck with Manual a few weeks ago, I find driving in cities/traffic/mountains so much more relaxing now. I swore I would never drive an Auto, but once your used to it, it's better. I do click that "manual" button any time I have to clime an icy hill, the commuter has trouble knowing what to do an in auto it will spin out.
On pulls like that I always hope that it’s cold enough outside that the fan won’t kick on and take away power, but it always does. Maybe boring but way beautiful.
You two are great! ❤️!!! Haha!!! Thanks for the uploads!!! The scenery makes it interesting, in my opinion. I am no longer on the road. I live in a large busy city, these days, attending college as an adult. So, the images are a true gift!!!👍🙏!!! Question, if you are hauling such a heavy heavy load, would that make it easier to travel if you encountered foul (snowy) weather?
CT! Sometimes, with a super b so much weight is being pulled instead of carried on the drives, but when you have the drives maxed out at 17,000kg like I did this Friday, I was driving by 5 axle trucks spun out, I never needed to chain up.
Can't resist. I SUGGEST, checking your CHAINS, Washer Fluid and Brakes, on a 15%percent grade, going DOWN!! Ha! Ha! Lol! Let "HER" drive Mr. Impatient. Mark
35min *AIN'T A LOOOOOOOOONNNG VIDEO. It be 5m more than half an hour.* 12:46 I'd say Momma truck just went by ya w/TRIPLETS. Nice smooth ride w/a conscientious *professional driver.* Thanks driver. Too bad the 4 wheelers can't turn their *HEADLIGHTS ON. But then that would require a modicum of intelligence wouldn't it now?* We'll see ya heading down... the udder side. Sum Dairy humor 4 ye.
Sorry if I missed it, so what was your gross weight of that load? Thanks for sharing another great video. I find it quite entertaining and not boring at all
I don't remember what I was loaded at, but we always load as close to RGVW as we can. We run Super B's so that is 63,500 kg (140 lb.) Most of our loads are within 1,000kg of that limit.
Most of that lumber is being shipped to China, it used to be that most of our export lumber was destined for down south where then that lumber would be sold back to Canadian retailers for Double the price.
Almost all the lumber I bring to the coast goes to Japan. But we deliver more to locations in Canada and the USA. Having said that, other carriers and mills may be very different.
My goodness how many miles is this uphill grade? I don't find the video boring. Too much scenery to look at. The digital printouts are neat on the hiway!!
Exit 192 is where SteBros Videos are being made in November 2021 , Those Bridges are gone now . Thank you Juan I watched your video to see the Coq and the stretch I wanted to see was Towards the Begining . Are you Kin to Michelle ?
Yea, been watching, they are making really good progress building a temporary road to reconnect the bridges. Going to need a lot more info then "Michelle" to know who that is. I don't have a lot of family in BC.
@@JuanRempel Member of Parliament Calgary Nose Hill . That Michelle Rempel . I hope this Info Helps ? Thank You again for the Video , I watched the whole thing .
I'm running in a 2016 International pro-star, 525hp cummins, automatic. The lease runs out in spring so the company will be giving me a new truck, will be an International, Kenworth, or a Western Star.
I've driven this highway from time to time summer and winter but I don't know it well enough to remember all the parts. Did any of the sections driven in this video get wiped out by the flooding in Nov 2021?
This last week i had 3 times where someone passed me around a blind corner, the one time with on coming traffic, luck there was room to make it 3 lanes or they would have been dead. Not sure why its so hard to wait just a little bit.
"IF" you do NOT "CHAIN UP" on the Coquihalla, you should be fined $1,000.00. Also, "IF" you "IMPEDE" traffic, you should be fined an additional $5,000.00, given to Jamie Davis, Al Quiery and Crews, along with DOT who had to risk their lives, along with authorities and driver's who had to wait due to your "FOOLISHNESS"!!! Tim Ashley is "RIGHT"!!! Blame the inexperienced BAD DRIVERS. Mark
Missed a 0 on the drives, and for our American friends that's KG's, add the steers at about 5,000kg makes gross wight 45,000 to 46,500kg, and super b's gross 63,500kg.
In BC and ALBERTA you can push 6000 kgs on your steers I have my fifth wheel set at about 5700 kgs go through golden Scale Kamloops and Hope and have never had a problem
I drove that part of the hwy in Aug this year. First time in 30 years, I live in Ottawa. The other end of the country. It is so beautiful out there, I did follow a tractor and his/hers rear trailer wheels were on some of the cement curbs. It's wild. Can't wait to do it again..
Its a fun drive for sure
I remember being a little kid in the middle of a whiteout with my family in the mountains and we managed to get to our destination by following you trucker dudes. I know my dad was white knuckling the steering wheel.
Ended up with 5ft of snow in the morning.
Oh wow! Yea, on those days no one can rush, single file all the way.
You have cine a long way my friend in producing quality videos
Love it. Never thought it was a bad ride, made that run several times with no issues. The road is not that dangerous it’s the bad drivers that make it dangerous

True it can get bad, but not nearly as bad as the Connecter or the Salmo Creston.
Greetings from the Mojave Desert, So beautiful! Even in Summer, that stretch of road is intense! Thanks for taking us along. Keep the shiny side UP!!
Brought back a lot of memories of the Coq. and the Connector. Use to drive Greyhound Coach and Freight Semi. Coach was a dream in almost any condition but bobtailing a tractor was the worst. Thanks for the ride.
Yea, bobtail on ice is the worst
You must have nerves of steel, I just couldn't drive the miles you guys do in the winter conditions. I hold a lot of respect for truckers. God Bless my friend and stay safe.👍

Oh no, not strawberries....... i actually like the flavor, but I have a negative reaction to them.
I love strawberries too
R u allergic to strawberries?

Very cool, I heard that some years ago they had the Switzerland DOT over to see hoe BC kept the pass' open.
Your dad was correct about how Portia is pronounced.
While you are busy driving I am to enthralled with looking at the beautiful senery! Such magnificent vistas! Wish I were in the front seat!
Come ride shotgun with us anytime
I love your video. Not boring. It's nice to see home again. I now live on the flat land, the foot ripples of Alberta.

Think about millions of people would never get the chance to drive this highway. Thanks for this video.

Yep, ive had snow up there in July. Check out the new video in my Highway Thru Hell playlist, i drive Thru in a snow storm.
You truckers have a hard job .
On top of all the other bad drivers
Out there . I always try to make as much room for you as I can .
Stay safe .

Spectacular scenery

Drove there twice, in 2008, nice piece of road. Also watched the TV series Highway through Hell. Was still a toll road then.
The road got a lot busier when they removed the toll.
Awesome video
Thanks!
I know in the United States, when hauling bricks like that, DOT want you to put 2 straps on the first pallets
Yes, Canada and the USA have very close to the same load securement laws.
Driving where you are is better then Texas panhandle 😁🇺🇸

12:17 That's an awesome mountain ⛰
It's so beautiful 😍
Hopefully they get the highway open soon again.
stay safe driving :)
Feel for you speed wise, beautiful drive, but only ever drive it in a sedan and it feels like a long enough going 100-120km/h. Only drove it once in winter, wouldn’t want to go in a storm. Did the crows nest (#3) with compact snow on the road, and that was dicey enough.
Nothing boring about this video
You said earlier that you wouldn't be talking the whole way but you're doing pretty well 😁
For the first time watching a ride from coquihalla is not boring.
But I think the other roads I drive are so much more intresting then the Coquihalla
@@JuanRempel anyway nice video greetings from Tunisia
Hell no this is too awesome to hit fast forwards nothing I love more than driving threw BC CANADA 🇨🇦 an I'm a state dweller
👍
Wont be driving the Coquihalla anytime soon, i think it will be closed all winter due to the flooding
I came down shylock one year...fully loaded super B. Jakes set to keep me at the speed limit with little braking. I look in the mirrors and see smoke coming from the pup axles.....uh oh!
I had visions of my brakes glazing and me going full speed the rest of that hill.....I did finally manage to get stopped....turns out an airbag had grown a leak...was rubbing on the pup tires. Never been so scared.....lol
Wow, yea, I would need a change of pants after that. Thanks for sharing.
Only place I have actually smoked my breaks was coming down the anarchist into Osoyoos, I stopped at the bottom to make sure I wasn't on fire.
Guess we can expect any thing , Hell has frozen over
I've actually got a better winter drive of the Coq, check for it in the Playlist. It's an impressive highway.
We used to be at 120 on the Island highway between Parksville & Campbell River, but they’ve reduced that to 110 now😏
Yea, they did that to a bunch of highways on the main land too.
I enjoyed the smasher for the second time, may have been the third time.

Still a beautiful landscape why can't Americans make a highway in that amount of time and still make it perfect
now i feel bad about giving 12'8" wide loads to carriers through here ooops
Actually, better this route than highway 1 or 3.
We are going a lot slower than what Kenworth demonstrates. The truck is 400 h.p. engine you just said.

Great line of site in those

I've driven this highway from time to time summer and winter but I don't know it well enough to remember all the parts.
Did any of the sections driven in this video get wiped out by the flooding in Nov 2021?
Yea, pretty much all the bridge crossings from hope to box canyon chain up have extensive damage.
@@JuanRempel That'll take years to fix!
They are hoping for a temporary fix and have the highway open by the end of January. But yes, the permanent fix will take many years.
@Indigo Walker What a fantastic job! The people of British Columbia should be proud of their can-do.
Yea, I have a new video going down the Smasher in 1 week, Monday, during a snow storm.
Typically CPX , cuts in waaaaay too soon and then takes the shoulder
This last week i had 3 times where someone passed me around a blind corner, the one time with on coming traffic, luck there was room to make it 3 lanes or they would have been dead. Not sure why its so hard to wait just a little bit.
Is this the International Truck?
Hard to tell, didn't show the hood in those days, videos so much better with a hood in the shot
Hi what is the up hill %
How many tons are you loaded?
8% at 52.5 US tons
Great thank you
Safe trucking
Nova Scotia has 120 km/hrs highway
Ahhh, I've only been there once.
I've never seen a highway in Ontario and I live in Ontario more than 110
I believe the only highway I've seen at 120km is the Coq, isn't Ontario's 401 100km.
Yes
you need a 605 cummins or 16 litre detroit 605 hp
Yes, yes, yess, unfortunately, my new truck is only a 500hp Cummins.
I surprised that you only have 400 hp we run 600 hp in ont on flat ground
gord m I have 525hp, but it’s all about saving fuel.
UK 70 on motorway
The UK still in miles?
do you know Goerge Rempel ?
Sure, but is he the same one you know, who knows.
WHAT'S THE TEMPERATURE IN YOUR CAB ON DAYS LIKE THIS?
Terry Shanks In cab temp has to be adjusted on climes but it stays nice and warm.
Guess what popped up. It's interesting watching a 5 year old vidoe!!😂
Boring? It's beautiful scenery, though I suppose after the 927th trip it could be boring.
There is just so much more beautiful highways in BC, highway 1 and 3 are much much more interesting.
"IF" you do NOT "CHAIN UP" on the Coquihalla, you should be fined $1,000.00. Also, "IF" you "IMPEDE" traffic, you should be fined an additional $5,000.00, given to Jamie Davis, Al Quiery and Crews, along with DOT who had to risk their lives, along with authorities and driver's who had to wait due to your "FOOLISHNESS"!!! Tim Ashley is "RIGHT"!!! Blame the inexperienced BAD DRIVERS. Mark
