TRUCKING & TOURISM * Canada - Ride ‘em Now Boy: An open road view of trucking
(Video from YouTube, by emrservicesofcanada -18 Aug 2010: View Canada through the eyes of a Long Haul Trucker. This is part one in a series of videos of my travels throughout Canada. Part one was shot live on location in Northwestern Ontario and Manitoba on August 15/16, 2010)
Londesboro,ONT,CAN -Trucks News -19 Aug 2010: -- What better way for folks to get a glimpse of the trucking industry and the country than from the cab of an over-the-road truck?... A new U.K.-based travel agency was launched recently with that idea in mind... Welshman John Rogers was over here visiting three years ago when he came up with his unique trucking-business idea. Rogers and a pal had toured Canada for three weeks and had logged more than 11,000 miles by the time they stopped in Vanderhoof, B.C., to visit a truck-driver friend. The driver took Rogers out for a trip in his rig, and inspiration struck... That’s when Rogers invented See It By Truck. It’s a travel agency designed to match solo travelers with North American owner-operators so the trucker can make some money by carrying the sightseers. It’s sort of like tourists who ship aboard freighters to see the world... Rogers wants to build a North America-wide network so travelers could begin truck trips anywhere in North America within 48 hours of landing at any major airport... Some of the youth like the experience more than others, he says, but whether or not they would ever choose trucking as a career, they at least have a firsthand understanding about what a trucker does...
