 Well, first day. Time to go to work. Find out what we'll be doing from now on. Definitely need to start this day off with some tips. No idea what I'm gonna be doing today. I'm starting something new again. I got a large coffee with two cream I shot of espresso please. No, that's it. Thank you. It's cold out this morning. Come on, debit. It's only minus, it's about minus 22. Thank you. It feels a lot colder though. So now that we're supplied, let's go to work and find out what they want us to do from now on. Let's go drive some trucks. So my start time is now a little earlier. Uh, so I have to get up an hour earlier, which is fine. It's something to get used to, but you know, we were just starting to see the sun coming up right when I was going to work last week. Now, when I got up it was pitch black again, but by the time summer hits, it'll be bright, sunshiny by the time we had to work. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to this summer. I think it's going to be a good one, exceptionally good one. Well, here we are. Nice view sitting right here. All right, so one of my tasks for today was to bring one of the T680s we have into inland Kenworth. And you know who's at inland? Hey guys, it's me for real. This mask is hiding my face, but uh, safety first, you know? Andy the Kenworth guy. You know, I always talk about him when we drive past here. We're on route 90 up in the north part of Winnipeg, and he sells Kenworths. I sure do. And I was actually talking with him when I still had my Volvo about getting a W900 through him. He was the guy and then life took a different turn, but well that's okay. Yeah, I'm in it for the long haul. You know, Josh, we can we can make a deal when you're ready and down the road if that's in a year, that's in a month. I don't care. Well, I ain't going anywhere. And I don't think I'll be switching my favorite truck anytime soon. Yeah, but we got we got quite a few on the on the yard for stock, that's for sure. Definitely. They got the, is it still the T680, that new one that you got in, or is it a different name now? Well, it's the T680. We're gonna, we actually have our first T680 next gen showing up in actually beginning of April or middle of April. We were just talking about it in a meeting today, so yeah, we're gonna be getting those in shortly. And the T680 I brought in to get looked at, had an engine light on from what I could see. It wasn't my truck, but I brought it here for the driver and it felt like driving an electric truck. It was so quiet, so smooth. It would almost put you to sleep. That's the only problem. Driving on a cloud. Yeah, driving on a cloud. Exactly. Speaking of engine lights, my engine lights on in my truck here too. It happens. You gotta love it. Oh, but it's hidden from view here though. Oh, you can't see it. Well, I see it every day. It's kind of pain, but can you do? So I had to drop off the Kenworth at inland and pick up one of our trucks at Beaver here. It's the Volvo dealership in Winnipeg. I have to protect myself here. I don't want anybody to see me here going into enemy territory. What a good guy though. Hey, he's bringing me to the competition. We bet you. Where do you need to go? Uh, service department. I guess that's right here. But yeah, he was nice enough to give me a ride down the road, so appreciate it a lot. Anytime. And we'll see you again in another video. I'm sure very soon. Sounds good. Well, take care everybody. Hey, check out my channel too. If you haven't already done it, it's just the Kenworth guy on YouTube. So see you around. I'll leave a link for you down below in my description. Go check out his channel. If you need a Kenworth, you know who to go talk to. So how cool was that? That wasn't planned. I just showed up to work and they told me to take the truck to inland, and I knew that Andy works there, so I was going to go and find him and say hi. And then I needed to find a ride over here to Beaver to pick up this truck that I'm in now, and he offered a ride. So really good guy. Hope you guys do go and check out his channel. That was pretty cool. And he might actually sell me on the Ford F-150. That was a nice pickup. Wow. All right, I got you strapped onto my head. Hopefully a view is all right there. Doesn't this truck bring back memories? The Volvo truck is identical to the one that I drove for years. It was pulling flatbed with it. Remember we used to pull those wide loads through northern Ontario? So I had to bring that T680 into Winnipeg and pick this one up and bring it back. The T680 had a engine light issue that needed to be looked at, and I'm guessing that this truck was the same, but this one was all fixed up and they needed back at the yard. Driving this truck sure brings back the memories though. I lived in a truck exactly like this. How many of you remember that? Were you guys watching at that point? I lived in a truck just like this for, what, three years? Oh, more than that. Three and a half years while I was pulling flatbeds. We went coast to coast in that thing. We had that thing out in Newfoundland, out in British Columbia, way down to Georgia, all over the U.S. and Canada, Prince Edward Island. This thing rides exactly like it. I think it's the same year even. I mean they bought them at the same time, right? It is the same year or the same model anyways. Absolutely identical. And we've got a train. Fantastic. I'm not sure how the video will go today. There won't be too much of a video. It's my first day. I'm just getting settled in and after I get back with this truck, I've got some meetings in the office yet and we'll see where we get to from there. But it was a real treat today to see Andy. I'm hoping that we can do that collab sometime soon, but you know, sometimes life gets in the way of doing fun things and it doesn't work out because of time and stuff. But now that I'm home every weekend, he says that usually once a month on Saturdays, he's in at work and maybe we can go and test drive one of those new next-gen T680s or something else that he has there. We'll see. So I don't think today was what a typical normal day will be like, but I have no idea. It's my first day in this position now. I had to do this swap with the trucks today. I delivered one loaded to Winnipeg when I first got going this morning. It was a really cold morning though, so even the truck that I'm supposed to be driving didn't start this morning. This train is just about stopping to Winnipeg there. Yeah, as far as I know, by the sounds of it, it sounds like I'll be pulling a lot of vans, some flatbed, whatever they need me for. I feel like I went home and now that I'm driving this Volvo, it really brings back the feelings of nostalgia from the days when I was living in a Volvo just like this. It's not the nicest truck out there, but I really like the transmissions that they got in these trucks, the iShift transmissions. They shift really smoothly. They make it very easy to drive. I actually kind of like it better than the Peterbilt automatic transmission that they got going right now. But once I get back to the office, like I was saying, we've got some meetings. We're going to go over a social media policy and once we get that all straightened out, I'll be able to make more of a storyline, maybe starting tomorrow, because at that point we'll have on paper everything that I can and can't say and can and can't show and stuff. There's some sensitive things that probably I don't need to share, but at least I'll have a guideline then of what's acceptable so that I can create a good story for you every day. Oh, they did stop now. They're almost over the intersection. The engine is literally on the road. All they have to do is move it just off the road. This is ridiculous. Shoot. After all the delays I've had today already trying to get this truck going and in the morning when I first got to work this morning, I got assigned, it's a Peterbilt. It will be a day cap. It's got a stretched wheelbase. It looks pretty cool. I like it, but it didn't start in the morning because it was so cold overnight and I guess the batteries got a little bit cold. So I'll probably be in that tomorrow. So there's that delay and then I got to Volvo and I couldn't get this truck going because it was too cold. So there's that delay. Now I got a train stuck on the road. Another delay. I see the trucking has not changed and it probably never will. Nothing but delays. So we didn't have time to do our sit-down today and go over our social media policy and guidelines. So I didn't film too much. It was my first day there. I'm getting used to my new position. Getting used to the truck I'm in. The truck I'm in is a day cab extended. I think I told you already, right? Peterbilt. I'm excited to show that to you in the near future. Weasel. Not a lot of substance in today's video but the highlight of the day was meeting Andy, the Kenworth guy. I'm serious. He makes some pretty awesome videos and he sells some awesome trucks. Chevy's knocking at the door one second. Hello. Come on in, bud. All right, Diesel wants to go. Come on in, Chef. You sure you want to go there, Diesel? No makeup your mind. I'm gonna close the door. You good? You sure? Children. Like I was saying, the meeting Andy today was the highlight of my day. We do plan on doing another collaboration like I was telling you down the road. I'm not sure exactly when yet but it'll probably be once the weather gets a little nicer. I think it'll make for a better video. You can show off some of his new the T680, Nex Gens, maybe some W9s, whatever he's got on the wall, whatever he wants to do. I'll hand over the reins to him on that and whatever he wants to do I'm down for and then we can sort of promote each other and also obviously promote Kenworth because who doesn't love Kenworth, right? Anyway, so I did show you the truck there just in the last clip. I edited this video a day late. I wanted to wait until we had to sit down about social media. Very important that that got out of the way first. So now that we've got that established and we have an agreement I can share a lot more with you. So tomorrow's videos got a little bit of a truck tour, just a walk around. The truck is really dirty right now because this time of year it's it's just a mess. All the snow was melt in the salts all over the road. It's impossible to get your truck clean. So I'm going to do a proper truck tour inside and outside once the weather clears up and we can get that truck nice and polished and shined. But I do go around the whole truck tomorrow and show you the whole truck and a couple of the other trucks that I've driven in the past and looking forward to that. So I think from now on there will be a whole lot more content and a lot better storyline for the vlog here and also an open invite to all of you if you want to come work where I'm at and help us out. We'll talk about that more in upcoming videos though. Just wanted to swing in here right at the end for the ending clip just to let you know that today was Monday when I filmed this whole vlog and there wasn't a lot of substance but tomorrow's another day. I hope you join us. All right we're showing off the truck tomorrow a little bit. I know a lot of you would like to see that. A lot of you have questioned rightly so in the past why I don't show the outside of the truck and stuff and I had my reasons before but those reasons have now gone and I can show you the outside of my truck. I can show you more of what I'm doing and I've got the green light to do so. We're really looking forward to it. It's going to be fun. Take care everybody. We'll see you in the next video. It's coming up very soon. I'm already editing it. It's already coming down the pike here.
