 Good morning from Steinbach. Time to go drive some trucks. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a good day. It's Thursday You know, I'm gonna miss this girl She's a good truck She's got some character and some age on her. She's a good truck. She's treating me well Speaking of missing that old truck They put me in a new freight shaker today. Well, not a new one, but it's a newer one. It's a Cascadia Man this thing drives quiet compared to my old truck I guess the other truck was so loud and I got used to it and I just you know, that was just Regular for me already. They put me in this truck where they're test driving it for the day and It runs like an electric truck. It's so quiet. I don't know what to do with myself in here I can hear myself think That's a scary thought. I can hear myself think that, you know So we're taking this Cascadia Into Winnipeg. I don't have to yell at you guys anymore. So I could just talk in my normal voice. This is nice This is very nice This is a little treat. My second last day Pulling this trailer here. This is very nice. It's kind of like a little treat It's my second last day before I'm in a different truck again I'm not sure if that'll have a sleeper on it or if it'll be a day cab either way Doesn't matter to me But yeah, this truck runs like a Cadillac compared to that old one For the most part, I don't really care what truck I get put in I just like Trucks in general. So as long as I'm driving trucks, I'm happy as long as they're running well Not breaking down all the time. But once they're Doing good, you know some of those old trucks. They're they're better than the new trucks But the one advantage this one has for sure is the sound in here I could whisper and you could hear me in the other truck If you have anyone in the passenger seat, you have to yell just for them to hear you pretty much or talk loudly So that is one big plus to this truck. Nice and quiet much smoother ride as well. It's got a longer wheelbase That's gonna be heavy. Russian writing on it I think that's Russian anyway Thousand kg so about 2,200 pounds Come on The way to hold me on the ground so I don't fly away All right, so the the biggest difference I can notice in driving this truck is that there's no splitter Which is weird to me. So it's just a 10 speed Haven't driven a lot of 10 speeds before they're usually 13 speed, but this has been working just great except when you Kick it up into the next round of gears. Your next gear is gonna be over here instead of up here I figured that out While I was driving like why are there such a big gap between these gears feels like I'm missing a gear 10 speed So it runs really nice like a very smooth ride That it rides like a Cadillac. I'm actually very impressed with this truck. It's it's very nice so I'm getting some goodies put on me right now and Those would be going back out to southern Manitoba once we're done here. We're in Winnipeg on the east side and We'll see what today brings. I don't know how much they're putting on me I'm feeling my whole trailer I was just told to go here and pick up what they had and I'm not allowed on the dock here So they know what they're supposed to put on me I guess once we pull up when they're done, we'll see how much they put in So I've got my lunch right here took my garbage can with me to stay organized Look this thing even has a nice little mask hook and one down here as well for my spare 2021 I Got all my other stuff over there. Look at all the space in here yet Wow That's my inverter that I used to charge up my phone So I can use my 45 watt supercharger that charges up my phone from zero in less than an hour So that's why I take that along because I use my phone here for everything during the day GPS Calling customers calling home everything whatever I need whatever I need. That's so I need to charge that up quickly I've also got this charger here, which is connected to you guys to keep you guys charged up But other than that, yeah, I've got all my cleaning products with me here So this truck smells like cleaning products right now because I've been doing the mandatory trucker Josh Wipe down here. I'm not quite done. So that's some dirt around here and on there But yeah, if I get into a truck, I want to leave it better than I found it And I also want to enjoy my day because I got to live in this thing for the rest of the day They're in the trailer now. I'll live in this thing for the rest of the day And I want it to be clean and smell nice So all my garbage goes in the garbage can and at the end of my day or whenever it gets full and I can get by a Dumpster or a garbage can at a truck stop or something. I just dump it in the garbage there and that way Garbage doesn't build up on the floor in here because that's gross Well, I'll be honest Wasn't expecting to go through the back roads to get here, but here we are What does this say bridge maximum 40.8 tons metric tons? We'll be just fine Look at how the farmers push up the snow on their fields like that too to stop the wind erosion I got showing you the other day. Oh look a creek Wonder where all the beavers are So glad we don't got a deal with that anymore And we'll just keep trucking down trucking down the back road here I've got to go another kilometer and then I got to turn right Someone way out here has something for me Well, that's something for someone else and I'm gonna take it to them. I'm glad this road isn't very soft yet. Thanks I left my clipboard in the trailer I better go get it. Oh, it's windy of course, okay Gloves I apologize for the wind noise in advance Yeah, I actually like it Rental or what it is They're trying to note for the day they wanted my opinion of it My opinion is it rides on the cattle is gonna chat with you a little bit more out there But that wind is just biting Sun's starting to go down so it's starting to get colder again But now this truck has been running really good today. The engine's obviously good truck itself is good My only critique if I had to critique something would be that on the highway something seems out of balance a little bit There's a little bit of that wobbling and shaking that I was dealing with when I had my freight liner columbino freight liner century It just shakes on the highway. I don't know what it is. There's a reason they call them freight shakers. They shake That's the only criticism happens rather than that. It runs great. It runs smooth quiet like a Cadillac Of course, they're gonna tease me with this on my second last day, right? Tomorrow's probably gonna be back in my regular truck and then I'm off to New pastures, I guess well old pastures familiar pastures just different pastures that I'm on right now slower down slower down slower down eight Kilometers an hour here Josh 80. That's where there's where that the ghost car. That's not really a ghost car always sits That blue cop car I showed it to you in one of my videos He always sits right around here because this zone here is a new 80 kilometer an hour zone So for you Americans, this is a 50 kilometer an hour zone. It used to be a 65 or 62 mile an hour zone So people always forget That those people never being me obviously never be me And he sits here and nicks all of them just get some Nick some right in the butt give them a big spanking. So not today I'm headed home. It's a bit of a long longer day got off at six o'clock today But I was privileged enough to ride the green caddy. That's what I'm gonna call it Then rode like a Cadillac. I know I've been talking about it all day already, but man I was spoiled today, I don't know what vehicle they're gonna put me in tomorrow Probably the old the old truck again, and that's totally cool. It's fine, but You have to put me in the green caddy again. I'm not gonna complain. Yeah little farewell farewell thing maybe It's my last day in this truck either truck tomorrow and on Monday we start back in familiar scenery Monday morning, I have a meeting with everybody there in the office Gonna go over a social media policy and once that's all agreed to signed Then I can obviously start sharing a lot more with you. So let's wait till then and Should be good good times ahead So while I've been doing this pulling this little 28-foot pop around I've been here just a couple of months. It wasn't that long It feels like a lot longer because I really do like everybody there. I got along with everybody Well, I felt I felt like I got along with everybody Boss is a great guy The the load gods dispatchers great guys. It was a really It was really nice place to be you know, they treat you like family and Those are the kind of companies I want to work for so Fantastic I am sad to leave it's a fantastic company. I'm sad to leave but New opportunities call I almost sort of feel like I'm going home because I spent a third of my life there You know, I worked there for almost 10 years and I'm going back. It feels like I'm going home Sad to leave the group of group of guys I was working with now. So anyway, Brett's probably gonna get off work soon we'll probably get home around the same time and Make some supper put the video together go to bed and get ready for tomorrow
