This video, produces by Howes Products, features "Trucker Josh" Giesbrecht, who's now something of a household name amongst trucking Youtubers. Since 2011, the Canadaheadquartered operator has been selfrecording video blogs (vlogs) from his work overtheroad and offering them up via a Youtube channel with a goal of "boosting the perception of truckers and the industry as a whole," said Rob Howes, president of Howes Products. Josh does all that "in a very unique, personal way. His faithful following" on Youtube around the world "is proof of his success in helping to grow awareness and respect for truckers."

For that, Howes added, his company has inducted Giesbrecht into the Howes Hall of Hame, announcing the news at the MidAmerica Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky, where Giesbrecht this week is a guest at the Howes Products booth (#14172 in the North Wing), meeting fellow drivers and sharing stories about his career and passion project: publicly documenting his life OTR. His aim to start, and still, has been to curb negative stereotypes about who truckers are and how they live. Giesbrecht offers rare, intimate views of what it’s like to be a trucker, from behind the wheel to inside his own home.
