 of snow overnight, just freshen things up a little bit. I've got freight waiting for me up in Toulon today. That's one hour, one hour north of where we're at our yard. It's probably about a half hour north of the north side of Winnipeg. It's not too far off. There's some freight there headed down to Pennsylvania, I believe. Got to go drag that on back to the yard. There's a highway driver that's going to hook on to that and bring it down there for them. Pennsylvania is a fun place to go trucking through as long as you don't get lost on their back roads. Okay, their back roads get a little squirrely if you get off the interstate onto their little two-lane roads through the mountains and through the hills and you take a wrong turn or you miss your turn. Good luck finding a place to turn around a 75-foot unit. You're gonna have to go for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and hopefully you don't end up at a dead end, a low bridge, or a residential zone. If you're going to Pennsylvania, best thing is make sure you know where you're going first. But I'm not from Pennsylvania, I'm not even from the United States. For those of you who are new, welcome here. Everything you need to know about me is all down below in the description of my videos. You can scroll down there and check it out. I live in Manitoba, it's a province of Canada. We live straight north of western Minnesota and eastern north Dakota. You take interstate 29 straight up right into my province of Manitoba and it'll take you right to our capital Winnipeg and that's around the region where I'm working right now. It's a little bit of a cold agriculture-based area. We're in winter right now but in summertime we also do get very hot as well. Those of you who've been following me for years have been able to see that. Anyways, if you're new, welcome here. You're all welcome. Hit the subscribe button so you don't miss the video. We make new videos pretty much every day. Monday to Friday, sometimes weekends, not consistently every single day but most daily. Most daily vlogs. Mostly daily vlogs, I should say that. Mostly daily vlogs. But yeah, I'd love for you to hang out. We're on vlog what, 2,421 now I think? So you've got a little bit of catching up to do or you can start from right here. It's actually a really nice day today. I've got a little bit of snow overnight but it's about zero Celsius right now. Around about 32 Fahrenheit so it's not nearly as cold as it has been. It's not nearly as cold as it will be so it's gonna be a good day. Just a blast in here. Okay, we're logging ourselves in so the government knows we're back in the truck. I don't really use my GPS to get places. I use it to know my surroundings. As I'm driving it'll show me what streets are coming before I can see them, right? If I'm not quite familiar with the area I can get a little bit of an advantage and see where I'm going. I don't go very far anymore to a place that I'm not used to going to but if I were to then yeah I'd use GPS to direct me but I do recommend always having a GPS. Pretty much everyone has a GPS in their truck already right? I remember when I was a kid driving with my dad on the road and he still used those big Atlas maps. I still have a couple of them. He has a bunch of them I'm sure and that's how we found ourselves around. He had a little pen that you could roll along the highway and it would show you how many miles it was, how many kilometers it was, how far it was. Yeah, although the old days but we have progressed forward and things have gotten a lot better in trucking. A lot better. Now when I'm going to a customer that I'm not familiar with, I have a GPS that will guide me right to their driveway. I could double check my GPS's work, make sure it's not going to take me through an area I'm not supposed to go through but it'll guide me straight there and if I'm unsure how do I get into their yard, what does their building look like? What kind of building am I looking for? I can go on a Google Street view and go right on the street as if I'm driving past it already and see what the area looks like so I know what I'm looking for when I get there that I'm not trying to figure it out as I go. I don't got to ask directions anymore or anything. It's a lot better. A lot better. So I've got to hook up the trailer 604. It's a 53-foot flat roll tight. Tri-axle with a lift axle I believe. Let's go find it. Before we leave here I'm just going to check, double check, make sure my lights are working. Good one today though. It's supposed to be pretty warm all day. One. I see one right here. Let's see if this is the one we're looking for. 604. That's our trailer for today. This is our roll tight that we have. It was refurbished last summer. It was in really good condition. It's got our logo on the back there. You sort of see it through there. This is our newest one. Everything's looking good. There's no holes in it. That's good. Guys have been taking care of it. Fantastic. So let's go fill it up with freight, shall we? It's going to be fun. Simply turned our roll tight flat into a open deck step deck because I'm a wizard with the first load. We hooked on to 118 now. We've got to bring it out to Blumenort and pick up a couple of pieces for our yard here. I'm going to go up on either side of the trailer. You have two per trailer, two per load, and then you put the log load. So two more of our trailers can be outfitted to haul logs. So I'm just going to lay these things flat on the deck. I think I actually have to like place them, like set them up. Same kind that we already have. If they're just sort of duplicates or like the same people made them. You use a forklift to install them and take them off and it's much easier. I'd have to show you that sometime. Be pretty straightforward. Hopefully it's not too complicated. Whatever it is, I'll take care of it. I'll get her done. Blumenort. Good old Blumenort. Friend who lived right there during school. Passed one of my other friend's houses over there. Had a friend who lived over here. This whole development down here wasn't even here when I went to school in this town. All the way down there. That's all new houses. Where's the road? There's the road. All brand new houses. I used to live in one of those little, one of those three buildings there that are exactly the same behind my mirror now. One of those three buildings. I used to live in one of those over 10 years ago. Yeah, it was 12 years ago. And Peterbilt right here. Southeast Manitoba's Peterbilt right here in Blumenort. And we're getting a new freight liner dealership as well. I got to talk to Andy over at Kenworth and say, hey, we need a branch in Steinback too. Us people in the Southeast, we need a little, you know, need a little Kenworth in our lives. Maybe I can work something out with him. Right now, if you want to do anything with Kenworth, you got to go all the way to the other northwest corner of Winnipeg. That was Blumenort right there. Right there. And for the grand finale, the traffic light. Very nice. Try not to get my truck all dirty. You got to go down this service road. There's Highway 12 right there. Got to go down the service road to get to this place. We're just going to take our sweet time because the last time I went flying down a road like this, my truck got covered in like an inch of mud. I'm exaggerating just a little bit, but I know the truck's dirty. It's winter time, but I try to keep the majority of it off if I can. Really got to clean these. I just wiped these mirrors. Seems that all I did was just wipe the dirt around. Didn't actually get the dirt off of it. Do that again. It's just up here. If it's the place I'm thinking of anyways. I have four line divided highways in Manitoba. I have these service roads that run alongside it. This is the road that the farmers are supposed to use when they go to their farms and such so that they can keep their big farm equipment off of the main highway and prevent accidents and stuff. You've got your own service road for the farmers. It's also for the people living along here so that they don't have driveway access right onto the busy highway as well. So there's actually four roads here. There's only three here, but once you get around the corner up there, there's service road, and there's northbound and southbound, and then the other service road. So there's one, two, three, four roads that run parallel to each other. See, like these guys, they live in there. It's a beautiful house. Their driveway connects with the service road. That way they don't have to risk getting onto a busy highway right off their driveway, you know. These are not for mirrors. They don't work well. That's all we got right now. I've got to bring some more paper towels to work. Okay, hopefully that'll be better. Just sort of smears it around, eh? I'll show you the load that I just picked up. It's just like four bunks, just like I told you. I'll show you how I tied them down here. There you go. See, I belly-wrapped them both. So they're both being sucked together. Also, this is putting pressure on it and sucking them in. I did another belly wrap on the center too, so that they're not wobbling in the center. Everything is tight, locked down, ready to hit the road. Hopefully my mirror will be a little bit better. Excuse me. Let the government hear you sneeze. It's been actually a fairly relaxing day. We're almost 3.30 now, so the day is winding down. I guess we'll find out. I shouldn't speak too soon. I haven't got back to the yard yet. We might not even be close to winding down yet, but nah, I'm assuming we're probably starting to wind down soon. It's been a nice, comfortable temperature all day, as you know. The snow's been melting off the roads. Don't got to worry about ice anywhere. I don't even have to wear my winter jacket. Just got my sweater on. It's a good late fall day. A little intersection here. 3.30 on a Wednesday. It shouldn't be too bad. We've got to stretch now. Oh, nope. That side is not clear. After that pickup is clear, though. Oh, nope. Not clear here, though. Wouldn't want that guy to T-bone me. That would hurt. Nope. More vehicles coming over the hill. Around this way, on the way back from Blumenorks, I had to grab fuel. And I had to stop at Petropas, at Deacon's Corner for that, on the east side of Winnipeg. But that brought me up to this intersection here. I could have probably given her and gone across here, but that don't feel like dying today. Oh boy. Here we go. Here we go. Sending it. Happens every day. There you go. Some excitement. I had a bunch of napkins from Subway that I was keeping up up here. I guess the wind sucked them out of there. That wasn't so bad. You know, that intersection is actually not that bad. You know, as long as you're careful and you watch yourself. I mean, it's unnecessary the way they put it together, but it's not that bad. I hype it up a little bit. The only time it's really bad is at the peak of rush hour in the afternoon when everybody's headed home. It's probably bad in the rush hour when everybody's going into the city too. I mean, just any rush hour. I don't know what I'm saying here. I don't know what I'm saying. That's almost time to go home. I'm getting tired from my little gun specifically. Let me know. I got another overnight coming this Friday. I tried not to act too excited. Friday and I got a deliverance to Saskatchewan on Saturday morning and then come back to Saskatchewan. But when you haven't been to Saskatchewan and over a year, even Saskatchewan sounds a little bit exciting to me. Okay. We're excited. We're going to Saskatchewan Friday. Friday to Saturday. All right. Pack a bag. You're coming with me. Nipah Win. Looks like it's about an eight to nine hour drive. 93 kilometers. Looks like I'll take the Yellowhead TransCanada up into Saskatchewan through Yorkden up to Saskatchewan 35 and that'll take me all the way up to Nipah Win. N-I-P-A-W-I-N. Nipah Win for the win. It's Friday, I'm guessing. Get there Friday evening, sleep there. Saturday morning, they want to unload me and then I drive back and I'll be back here Saturday evening. I have Sunday off and Monday. Be back at it. Tomorrow I'm going up to Toulon. First thing again, I got to grab one more piece just like what I just loaded in the first load. Got to bring it back here and then I might be going down to Minnesota tomorrow yet. I hope so. We'll see. It's going to be fun either way. I'm going to go park my truck now. I'm going to go park the trailer first. Another day done. Feel good about it. It was a good day. We got stuff done. Now for my rock star welcome. Let me prepare myself. You can hear him over there already. Sheffie's always first out of the game. You'd be a great racer, man. I need to go get my toy. Hey, Diesel. Diesel, where'd you go? Diesel, you're not Diesel. I'm Sheffie. Why? Am I on TV? Why? Man, we're great. Where are you smelling? That's right. That's right. Hello. Hello, Father. Smells like you had a good day's work. Bringing home your baking. Thank you very much. Speaking of baking, when supper? I'm going to bring my bone. No, Diesel. You're going to leave that here. Wiener, come on. Come on. You got to be at the front, little guy. Come on. Come on. Figure it out. There you go. Let's go. Come on, Diesel. Leave your bone. Good. Good. Good. Good. Come on. Come on. All the way back, Frank. No. No peeing here. Go to the yard. Thank you. All right. I always got to chase them there. I always want to make a mess on my patio furniture over there. That's against the rules. No peeing on my patio furniture. There's not many rules, but that's one of them. It goes for humans, too. I hate it when that happens. Stay away from my patio furniture. One of the best parts of the day, if I say so myself. The number one best part is going to bed. I'm in my 30s now. I look forward to bedtime. When I wake up, there's another day of trucking ahead of us. And tomorrow, like I was saying, hey, you like my shirt. My wife got it for me. Never laugh at your wife's choices. You are one of them. She makes pretty good choices, you know what was I saying? Tomorrow. Like I said, I've got to go to Toulon. I think I told you that already. Grab a piece up there, 120 foot piece or something. Bring that back and then I might be going down to Minnesota. Not too far down, but I think it's four hours south. Not as far as we to Thief River. You remember that? We drove through there on Saturday. Going back there tomorrow, possibly. We'll see. Does it taste good, Chevy? Does it taste good? Yeah, it tastes like chicken. It's like a big drumstick and it comes everywhere I go. Doesn't that hurt when you bite your foot? Wait, that was my leg? Yeah, it's your foot. It's attached to your leg. So you're saying it's not chicken? That's very sad. Very saddening. And if you look howling, should I howl? Do you want to howl? Dad, you start. Okay, I'll start, Chevy. Howling, Frank. Calm down. Grumpy old man. Diesel, you're doing very good there. You want to try one more time? Okay. You ready? It's the pie. Anyways, we'll send you guys off on that note. I would say it was a very... What is it? E flat? Maybe? One more time, Chevy? Let's see if Frank will ruin it again. Stay quiet, Frank. We're singing. Okay, Chevy. Now, y'all, I'm going to have to come here and hire you. All right, who's first? Who's first? I'm going to nail you with my karate moves. Well, Diesel, I think you're very right. Yesterday, you said we're a weird family. Chevy, I think he was right.
