    A short video with music highlighting my first year on the job. Went to some interesting places and saw a lot of things I've never seen before. Most of this video was shot with my iPhone. Nowadays I use a dash-cam plus a mounted camcorder - gotta keep both hands on the wheel to keep it between the lines!

    Enjoy the video - feel free to comment. If anyone knows what this little mattress hauling truck is, don't keep it to yourself. I filmed it in Calgary Alberta going down Glenmore Trail.

    love the music! Artist? Title? I've just finished a year myself. I went by that truck fire on Herrling but was going the other way. Tried to take a pic with my iPhone.

    Amazing!! GREAT JOB! The video looks almost professional... The music is great, the selection of images and the combination of music and images is perfect. Those snow covered roads... WOW! :biggrin_2556: Looks pretty bad... Was that in the US? I guess you were using chains, correct? Tough job... You have already gone thru a lot in just one year... Thanks a lot for the video. Be safe...

    All of it was in BC and in Alberta. The music is from a royalty free site - the band is named Jahzaar. I've used a few of their songs for other videos.

    Glad y'all like the videos. Thanks for watching.

    GOOD VIDEO.

    In the beginning I was feeling sorry for you. Nothing but snowy roads. I thought, you need to be in some sunshine. Later the scenery was making me envious. Nothing but flatlands where I truck.
