The air intake is on top of the hood for most trucks if not all, not only did the truck get through but it also got a wash

[Alpha-zoix]

Cop at the end was going to be like “sir you cannot do that, go back” 😂

Update from Toronto police: Truck driver was arrested for driving without a boaters license and sentenced to 5 years in the penitentiary.

A block away 19 cars were stolen and the suspects were awarded permanent residency and immediately released on bail.

He ain't losing his paycheck over floods....

[Motorsportsgeek]

Why is that cop even stopping him, power trip as always

[josephpenzes]

That's a perfect drive he knew his job and is skilled at it😊

[dancostello]

Those drivers are all adults. Did they really need a sign to tell them not to drive there?

[Hudsonrulez]

As a trucker of 17 years I salute this guy

[MrPeterthebest]

why tf is the cop going to stop him, he made it through, thank him for his service to delivering necessary supplies and move on. Truckers don't get paid the way public servants do so how about they chill out

[Улугбек.Холматов]

Looks like the police stopped the truck.

[herschelwright]

The driver must be on a tight schedule.

[rezamoghadasianrad]

He will be charged for driving with no life jacket 😂

[avedon]

Why the hell did cut the filming in the middle duh

[wizzgaming]

Now they gonna charge him with dangerous driving damaging property or something 🙃

Chow should put Toronto taxpayers money into updating infrastructure not wasting their money on stupid things like renaming Dundas Square. What a dummy!

Don Valley Parking Lot living up to it's name...this happened already over a decade ago and they still never dredged the river properly since then, shows how USELESS our mayor and Councillors are that dredging properly the river is NOT a priority (yes I know it costs a lot, that is why you get the province and country involved)...

I don’t understand why auto drivers think their car can go through 3 feet deep water. Your car’s electrical systems, fuse box, alternator, ignition coils, ECU etc will be destroyed.

[georgerenton]

If the road is closed, as in barriers indicating such, he’s in for a ticket. If I was his boss, I wouldn’t be happy if water got into the differential housings down the vent pipes.

[Thesongstaysthesame]

Probably works for someone that’s pressuring him to get a load delivered. It’s the world we live in now. Poor guy

[albundy]

That trucker has a long way to go and a short time to get there
