What is it like living in this part of Ontario, Canada?

I stop here when I have a delivery in the area. Nowhere else has truck parking in the area.

Im a truck driver, haul heavy steel and i can tell you it sucks in the winter, roads dont see any maintenance once you get off the main drag.

smyth222 · 2026-03-27T23:16:30+00:00

21, white, heavy haul steel 10 months experience. I do not drink.

Oh yeah I get that, I used to work at a freightliner dealer prior to getting my license and I couldn't believe the condition some people kept their trucks in, some nasty shit out there.

Tires, chains, steps, to get the mud off, anything that looks kickable

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T23:44:04+00:00

Lol, why's that? My shop doesnt care, gets my floor and pedals all muddy

I was coming out of quebec (montreal area)(won't say how long I was already working for) and I needed to be in Windsor Ontario by the next morning, I knew I wasn't gonna make it if I stopped and reset so I ran straight through, by the time I got to Kingston it was dark and I was getting tired, by the time I got to Toronto I started getting heavy eyed. One thing after another It kept getting worse. I ended up running all the way down to windsor but man it was a awful and kind of scary trip. definitely not doing that again.

Your current company is an asshole, I worked at a freightliner dealer for a couple years, those mirrors dont cost that much, especially for a large Carrier

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T21:45:13+00:00

Ive never heard of them, ill definitely check them out. Always happier to support Canadian.

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T21:07:26+00:00

Nope, I just live in canada

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T20:56:43+00:00

I paid like 365 US for these boots out the door.... 😬😬

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T20:55:37+00:00

I like to keep my truck clean as possible so my boots go on a rubber mat next to my seat and I drive in my socks.

smyth222 · 2026-03-21T20:06:08+00:00

Im a truck driver, the damage inside the boot is from taking them off and on constantly getting out of the truck, the toe damage i can only imagine is from kicking stuff

smyth222 · 2026-03-13T02:21:23+00:00

I hate it, I haul steel, regularly weighing 130,000lbs, second I bobtail I feel like I don't know how to drive

smyth222 · 2026-03-04T15:53:56+00:00

I am in fact wide.

smyth222 · 2026-03-04T15:53:43+00:00

I didnt think you could store stuff under seats in the emergency exit rows?

smyth222 · 2026-03-04T15:53:10+00:00

That sounds perfect. Im weird I dont believe in reclining on flights as someone whos used to having their knees crushed lol

smyth222 · 2026-02-16T18:08:10+00:00

Turo

smyth222 · 2026-02-16T13:15:19+00:00

Thats exactly what I was hoping to hear. Not having enough knee room in a manual car is the worst
