    Anybody else find it weird that he was dead for a month and a half before they make an obituary video and it's a premier? Meanwhile they continue to release videos without telling anybody he passed.

    I’m totally lost for words i have watched some of his videos what really bugged me was he’s a Canadian selling us trucking companies like Gp Transco and never really gave any info towards us Canadians . it was always the American drivers he focused on . still sad either way

    Someone online says he was found dead on his boat by perry sound o.p.p but i can’t find anything online stating that

    He was definitely for the newbie drivers and never really helped any fellow Canadian drivers with things like the best carriers to work for . He was big on selling Gp transco and always talked about the american trucking industry . It kind of bugged me him
    being a Canadian and all . i understand most of his viewers are American but it would have been nice if he talked about the industry here also . That’s the big reason i didn’t watch his channel much because i don’t live there
