- Merry Christmas everyone! Come along for a drive through Toronto with me to another tight jobsite. Requiring splitting the trains and backing down a long pathway to the jobsite! At the end of the day I'm pulled over by MTO, see if I survive!

CAT C15 MXS 650hp
B-Train Flatbed Trailers
These cities will make you age fast. Doesn’t matter what you’re driving. The bigger the vehicle, the faster you age.
if you get a 20 year old european truck you will have a air cab and air seat, you wont even feel it.
@@alexstromberg7696 Most 20 year old American units have those amenities too. Regardless, those features don’t eliminate the stress of making tight maneuvers amongst psychotic traffic.
@@ryanmorrison3699 thought you meant the awful roads
@@alexstromberg7696 There’s that too lol. Thank the lord for air ride technology 😂
You know how it is. They expect truckers to have proper tires, suspension, etc, but they won't improve the roads.
Funny....explain the construction by me then..... it definitely isnt to make the highway worse.....
Name a road that has never been improved. Just one.
@@Weaseltube Roads are notoriously unmaintained in most parts of the world, what?
@@Cpt.BEARDless That's just makeshift repairs, not actual improvements, they need to whack it all out, start from scratch, new base new padding new everything to sustain and function with heavier and heavier vehicles of todays modern world, not to mention electric trucks when they come.
@@Cpt.BEARDlessto make money of course, why they do a piss poor job, so they can do it again in 3-5 years, part of why construction never ends in Toronto...
I would have had a full blown panic attack if I had to navigate that tight lane between the streetcar and the raised platform on the right. crazy tight.
Merry Christmas. I’m not a trucker myself but I had the opportunity to do 10 hours training on a Kenworth Semi with an Eaton Fuller 13 or 18 speed transmission (can’t recall which) and that little bit of training gave me an even greater respect for what truckers do. You make it look easy, especially with all the challenges driving in downtown Toronto. I drive a shuttle bus downtown Toronto and if I ever get the chance to meet you, coffees on me. Have a great Christmas and New Years.
Always a pleasure to ride in the passenger seat and enjoy the great commentary.
The "oh crap" moment you had at 9:15 is the new intersection at Roncasvalles and you caught it during a good time, usually it's a clusterf**k, the new and super confusing traffic lights have been creating big jams since they were installed.
Also, Merry Christmas! Once again you've gone through my hood and one of these days I'll catch you and say hey. :)
Love the sound of that engine ❤
51:00 that's exactly my experience with cars. Expect I drive a traktor with a 12 tonne trailer on narrow curvy roads. You would be surprised how many people want to push me off the road or do a similar takeover just to turn down within 100 m.
I feel your pain about the drivers in downtown Toronto. I laughed a little when you said “go around, what are you doing?” Cause I’ve said that many times myself. I also have people rush to get in front of my bus, only to turn left or right in front of me, making me miss a light. I’m on a 15 minute shuttle schedule, so missing a light can make me late.
That job site is one of the reasons I’m thankful I drive a Daf and a cabover. Already tricky enough with the general size of being a semi, so having a little extra room by not having a big hood in front helps.
Amen. Looks real purdy until you have to negotiate the kind of nonsense we often encounter daily.
But Harley’s can ride around with no issues….what a world
There are noise rules but they are municipal and often have no teeth. But as soon as someone proposes provincial legislation to control bike noise, who will be the first to complain? No you, of course.
YA i know total horse shit at least a CAT DETROIT OR CUMMINS Sounds a hell of a lot better that those shit box Harleys
@@danbuchner1494 it’s all about filling those provincial coffers
@@danbuchner1494 I dunno, I've never heard an exhaust note I didn't like. But loud noise is noise and it doesn't belong everywhere.
SO youlike an exhaust note PLEASE tell me what note you like so we can figure this out i am interested are fart cannons on a 4 banger that some moron kid thinks his car is fast good or an idiot with a hemi dodge truck that think they are cool god know there are a ton of those guys OLD AND YOUNG I am waiting@@Weaseltube
dude your general attitude and patience with other drivers is impressive. i would like to hope all truck drivers are like you !
Surely you've learn't by now, Matt, that BMW drivers (49:20) have right of way in all circumstances! (I think it says so in their owner's manual).
Love the longplay and the camera angle viewing the drive in that awesome sounding truck 👍
I know that area of Toronto, it ain't easy getting around in that area even by car. BTW lucky they did have you backing all the way from Milwaukee!
Merry Christmas, when I drive through Ontario every time I see a B-Train hope it's your truck but no luck yet. We drive to Welland and Niagara Falls hope to run into you at some point.
As european truck driver i always admire american truckers!Big roads and beutiful trucks!!! I wish all the best.Merry Christmans!
He's Canadian
@@Ozz77765…eh!
@@Ozz77765 Canada is in America, hes still an American. North America does exist after all...
@@DCB1209 Just like how Brazilians and Columbians are American. Because South America does exist after all...
@@MercedesBenz8 Good job! Someone knows geography! Are you upset that I didnt include every single American Nation or Land mass when were talking about Canada?
I drive a lot for work, not a truck, just a regular van. What I find incredibly impressive about you truckers is your relaxed and very foresighted driving style. You all drive sensibly. That's what I love about your videos! You stay relaxed, even in Toronto. Since I've been driving my van with the same attitude, I've been coping much better. Every car driver should drive as cool and as foresighted as you truck drivers. Everything would be much more relaxed and we'd hardly have any traffic accidents! 😊
Love your videos man. I work as a car hauler all throughout Toronto. Im in and out of that exact area multiple times a day hitting all the dealerships. Not a truck friendly place especially given all the height restrictions and no truck roads around every corner. Was nice getting to be a passenger for a change!
Fuel hauler here. Used to deliver to the Ultramar at Collage and Dundas semi frequently. Isn't it nice when the anxiety isn't yours? Haha
@@chrisdunn9215God yes! Lol! But still, some times gives me flashbacks. Lol
Enjoyed your ride along. I spent 40 years Paramedic running from Huntsville to everywhere in Toronto "Hogtown " I could never do your job!!!
12:22 as is said in the game of football "I love it when a play comes into action". Be cool-Be safe🎅
Crazy how a big machine that's used for work isn't allowed to be loud.
I was stressed watching you drive through TO can't imagine doing that in a truck! The amount of people that cut in front of you and just stop and turn!
That's my worst nightmare bad directions low bridges
You drove through the junior school i went to on Queen st/Lansdown area before the bridge said 3.8m, wow what are the odds brought back memories for me thank you!
Matthew saw you Mar 19 just before noon on Garden Ave and Colborne St Brantford I was on westbound Colborne redlight watched you pull through probably heading for 403 👍Was so cool to see your Pete recognize right away Keep on Truckin Brad from Brantford seen alot !!!!! Of your vids 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That truck sounds good 😮💨👌🏿 and you should do a bypass exhaust system where you can hit a switch and the exhaust goes quiet then when you want loud you can hit the switch
Welcome to Toronto, as ex 18 wheeler, now driving a streetcar, i havecto wonder why you would not just go west on Dundas all the way to the 427. Truck route no bridges.
Merry Christmas.
Dundas to 427 is the way.
Let’s all like so he sees this
Hey @joseflavallee8577 what trucking GPS do you use? ✅
You're such a good driver, it's almost crazy to see such skill on display
my hats off to you. i couldn't do the stress of driving a big truck like that around a city.
it’s always fun to watch the trailer loading.. merry Christmas, thanks for the years of content. praying next year has less breakdowns and parts cannons
I hope so too! Merry Christmas!!
@@callthemallwhat trucking GPS do you use? 🚛
What a process to unload! I found that long at 8x speed, but stayed with you; you never leave your wing man! I must say, you have the patience of a saint!
What a bloody pain. It seems like there would be less backup if they were just sending in single trailers. And it would save you a lot of stress haha.
Merry Christmas. Man, could that site get anymore non user friendly? I don't think there is any needle you can't thread.
This one was stressful and im not driving it but from one UA-cam trucker to another, I thoroughly enjoy your videos!! Cheers!!🎉
Being on funky roads with a big rig is unnerving on itself. Gettin' a even more funky sign doesn't help. Gee I was sweating with ya on that at 14:00 - I said to myself: Don't make a Western Express Bridge Kiss on the vid xD
Look at that dinosaur of a Grove lol Love those heaps
This trip you won the lottery, 🤪 they cut right in front of you in a heart beat just to stop and make that famous left turn, geezers you really had them all around you today, even a pair which seemed like they stopped to chat right on the road in front of you as they were turning 😳 made you stop completely.. my goodness!
And yes those low bridges always make me sweat!
I agree, our behavior matters a lot on how we're treated by law enforcement! In my experience thes last 44 years, most of the time they're regular guys doing their jobs
Drive safe! Take your time!
Still binge watching, I enjoy your videos very much!
🥰👍
But you got to love the sound of the CAT C15...that's what I love to use in American Truck Sim! The jake brake is awesome!
I* hate driving my car in TO, I can only imagine what hauling a truck is like. Good luck and Happy Motoring
This is a good ASMR video 😁 I had to figure out where I fell asleep and finish watching it
MERRY CHRISTMAS Big Rig driver. Keep on Truckin in 2024 and get that rig into some more tight spots so we can share your drivin' skills.
Has to be the world’s longest back. 👍
Merry Christmas and safe driving! 😊
Thank You.
Every time I watch your vids , Lakeside park plays in my head
Merry Christmas buddy.
Sucks about the ticket, but it can always be worse. Appreciate your outlook on the matter.
Yeah the ticket 🎫 ruined my whole mood after the video was done
You can feel Matt’s deterioration progress as the video goes on 🤣
That copper was a real Grinch!
Holy crap dude, if I was a truck driver I would not accept doing that order, granted I don't really know how truck ordering works but still I just would not accept going there. But props to you for getting there and getting out of there.
@callthemall nice video american truck is great to see. Im a truck driver myself greatings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Merry Christmas and a happy 2024 to you and your family Matt.
Merry christmas everyone ❤
My man! Looks like you delivered a concrete barrier that my family and I are going to walk by every single day (once that project wraps up). Appreciate your work! Keep it up!
Wow you are so patient. What a great driver
Enjoying your videos. Question ❓ Call them all or is it Call the mall.
My name is Call The Mall. Little 2007 me created it on a whim way back when I started this channel, thinking “you can’t call the mall, you can call the stores within the mall, but you can’t actually call the mall itself.” (Turns out you totally can)... Haha.
Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania! Another great video as always!
I hope you got paid and paid well sir. This looks like a hell of a delivery lol
Make sure to do a proper pre trip inspection…of yourself and your Tractor and Trailer, and just assume all available taxes have been exhausted on proper road maintenance…like a good licensed citizen…that’s what be called “compliance” now a days. Love the vidz doood
your a great driver bud,love watching you .
Merry Christmas Matt! Thanks for the gift, that is the video! 🥰
There is one of them around this area that has been specifically targeting the mentioned groups for exhaust. Yes he will still give you a ticket regardless if there are mufflers or not based on if he likes the sound or not.... it is what it is....
Betcha it was the same guy!
1:00:24 - Too many law enforcement people are the banality of evil. Those types deserve nothing but contempt. I do not give any of them the benefit of doubt. "Just following orders" or "just doing my job" are not excuses for perpetuating the evil deeds of the people/institutions they serve. Maybe a bit of an overreaction but I'm truly fed up with government here in the states and Canada is even worse off, imo.
Anyway, Merry Christmas & Happy new year! As a 4-wheeler, I find your dedication to trucking inspirational. Your contribution to society is deeply appreciated.
Cops are such fucking losers. DOT especially.
I'm with you, man, they harass people and collect revenue for a criminal government. Order-followers are the worst; if it wasn't for them, the evil psychos in the ruling class would be powerless.
Man Dude you are one AWESOME driver, great job backing!!!
We here in Canada love our truckers. Regardless of what the dope(s) at the top says about yall. Imagine doing this run with snow... jeezlezz. Stay blessed truckers!
I love being behind you big guys, you know the road and the flow and are very safe to be around so long as you are treated with respect.
Dang mto hangjng out on the 7/8 near new hamburg, bastards have nothing better to do. Their worried about some semi loud mufflers but all the goofs in the gta running around with taped on mirrors and tires falling off etc getting away with it for years. Those cattle haulers hes going after wont give a shit about his ticket haha. Love the vids. Keep em up.
MTO drives around Toronto, don't worry. I got yoinked on backroad industrial street in Scarborough for a paperwork check.
@@captaincreditor8293 ya for sure their everywhere you think they wouldn't be. I've got pulled over in Milton thinking I was running the scales haha. I wasn't. But the amount of shit trucks on the road they don't have near enough officers but there in lies the issue. They'll start doing dumb shit like muffler checks. It's the California of Canada.
I’m gonna miss the nice rumble coming out of your rig’s pipes, but I’ll still tune in for your adventures.
Merry Christmas, Matt!
Seems like you enjoy trucking Toronto (not at all lol) Merry Christmas!
That looked painful! I hope you were very well paid for all that extra work.
Merry Christmas to you as well.
Merry Christmas young man love watching a pro maneuvering around Toronto with a set of trains.🎉🎉🎉🎄🎄
Merry Christmas to you and your family and happy new year 💯💯
oh noo i just finish watching the day that never end video from 8 months ago and this train again lol
Merry Christmas from Ukraine!)
@11:35*my blood pressure starts going up*.....I am so thankful that I got out of long haul and now drive a dump truck bahahahaha. lol I do not miss that down town Toronto Montreal $hit at all.. lol I will gladly leave that for the real truck drivers. You are the man, I like these long format videos.
Shit, some days even a dump truck can be challenging enough. Lol! I run a tri-axle in Ottawa and days I get sent downtown (not to mention some of the actual jobsites we get sent to as well) is enough to make a grown man weep. Lol. Between entitled pedestrians with their noses in their phones, summer construction, closed streets, detours, no truck routes, one ways, it can be challenging enough. You definitely want to plan your route ahead of time or you just might find yourself on a one way trip across the bridges into the next damn province. And I don't speak or read french worth a damn despite my french name! Lol! It's enough to give me an anxiety attack some days! Especially, if there is some kind of event taking place downtown. Don't get me started on rush hour on a Friday afternoon. And it doesn't help things much that our infrastructure is a crumbling mess either. Some days I can barely get out of my truck after bouncing around in my seat all day long. Some of these streets are akin to old wagon trails even if you DO have an air ride suspension.
What's it like driving a truck like this? Are you constantly stressed about timing for delivery, or do they give you some leeway for traffic, accidents, etc? Don't worry; you're not the only one who hates driving in Toronto. I don't think we employ city planners at this point; whoever has the money to build a condo gets approved.
Love the videos. Used to drive a straight truck through downtown Toronto for a summer job. Can't imagine driving what you do. Way to make it look easy.
I use to puck up bushel baskets, corn boxes etc.. in an over size straight in Kensington, nightmare.
pretty cool , you took the route that I use to take to get to the food terminal . queensway and park lawn . I worked for rite pak produce .
Merry Christmas matt. Makes christmas even better with a new video from You.
I wanna wish that truck driver a happy new years
Funny how I started watching your videos earlier this year and thought to myself, "man it would be fun to be a truck driver". Even looked into what it would take to switch careers and found a local flatbed place. But the more I watch your videos, the more I'm like, "there's no way I would want to drive a truck surrounded about all these idiotic drivers".
I commute on a motorcycle almost daily and take a lot of trips on it too. It's dangerous enough dealing with car drivers on a bike, but at least I have the speed and agility to avoid their stupidity most of the time. In a truck, seems like there's nothing you can really do about it.
I'm watching vids like those from callthemall and ditched my engineering carrier to become a truck driver which I'm now. I never looked back :)) (driving logs from the forests out of nowhere in the middle of the Alps in Europe) ^^
First time watching this guy, makes it sound way harder than it really is sounds like a whiner to me ,cannot work with this person, crys about everything you know the job requirements just do it
Merry Christmas 🤶 to you and your family.
Your camera gives such a claustrophobic view, I kept thinking you were gonna hit stuff, made me nervous on those downtown streets. And funny, I thought I recognized the road, I used to live at Bloor and Dundas St. W.
Etobicoke is my home. Dundas area would be tough for trucks. Hope it went well
Man, some days it seems like every single dingbat on the road congregates right in the exact areas you are running in... Just a fun obstacle course to be navigated, testing your patience... Merry Christmas and happy new year to you, Matt!
Merry Christmas! Happy New Years!
🎉Merry Christmas 🎉🎄✨
Absolutely stunning
I can’t imagine driving that in Toronto, I hate driving my full size pickup there
merry xmas and a happy new year 🎄✨☃ 🎉🎊🎁🎀
Merry Christmas!
Let the Loud Pipes SING!!! Merry Christmas
Drove past me in Ottawa this morning... Riverside Drive :)
like your content gives me good idea idea of how it really is without the cuts and with a truck I would actually drive
This is very interesting to watch because I work at that job site sometimes, they're building a new station at strachan right out of union, and adding a 4th track , my job is as you said "signalman" but its called "flagman" protecting the train movements and construction machinery/workers! Rule is all machines have to stop when the train is within a certain distance usually 3-5 miles if that equipment is within 13ft of the nearest live track. OBVIOUSLY thats not happening in this video so don't let Metrolinx find out lmfaooo
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!! That's a great sounding beautiful ATM you own . Thank you for posting all the great videos on your UA-cam channel .
51:06 I would have had to make them think AMTRAK left the tracks and is coming down the street and won't let go of the horn.
Love the sound of the pete. nice trip video👍
Hauled mass gross into Toronto for years. Moved to Sudbury and hauled ore for the mines for the last 5 years. Offered a job operating a Haul Truck underground, Hanging up the keys, end of my trucking career at 33. Trucking is a joke at this point, certainly not a career for me, 10 years was enough.
I drive one of them big IC International school buses and sometimes in downtown Toronto doing trips and it's tight so I give my hats off to you truckers. 50:50 you sound just like me there when people cut up your inside just to get in front of you to turn haha. Way too often I have that happen to me as well so that gave me a good laugh too. 😅🤣
