 Or I guess since you're probably watching this on Friday or another day happy other day Today's Thursday. It's gonna be a good day No idea what's in the plans yet. It's a little chilly this morning only minus five So Hopefully that'll change it's supposed to get up to plus 20 This weekend or the beginning of next week, so it's going to feel like summer You're in Manitoba. It's about time. It's about time. I am welcoming it with open arms Is the Sun rising later than usual or what? I know we had daylight savings time, but I Thought it's usually up by now Time to get trucking She's already all warmed up over there, so We're just waiting for our first instructions. This is our first assignment for the day We're all hooked up here. You want to see what's inside? Just over 34,000 pounds of wood. I thought it looked a lot heavier than that. I thought we had close to 50,000 in there Not according to this this where I have to load some freight Into this roll tight behind me with the Red River So what I'm doing right now is making sure this lock to the front There's two hooks that I'll show you here that lock onto the the sides And suck it in if you go on this side or you check this side That hook there and that hook there That's controlled by that little lever the triangle on the side of the trailer And that's hooked in there that's hooked in there. You just have to make sure they're properly latched on that'll hold this whole unit to the front now I got to go Create the tension or pull it to the back with the levers back there And together with these triangles and those triangles back there this whole thing Stays nice and tight. That's why they call it a roll tight So we'll make our way to the back here And you see these sides are still Loose and floppy you don't want that So you can roll this back up if you want it out of the way But you don't need to you just go inside it like this and let it And then you take this triangle right here and you Put it on to this here See there's one here, and there's also the same thing over there You'll see what it does is it screws this and pushes this against that Pulling the whole trailer back and pulling it tight. Remember we latched it at the front Now we're gonna pull it tight at the back Watch this little thing here see I'll put you here so you can see the The walls here you see how they're still floppy there, right? That's not good. You don't want that flopping around in the wind. So what I'm going to do Take the triangle here and what that does Here as that turns it pushes this forward and pulls it tight I'm gonna do a little bit on this side And then you want to go and do a little bit on this side as Well, if I can get it in a so you can see it, right? I want you to see what I'm doing Okay, it is easier if you roll up this curtain in the back. I Should have done that This one likes to whine a little bit. Don't worry. You're not hurting it. It's just whining That's all and then you want to keep doing that to both sides Until those wheels in there touch this bar here and that makes it tight You see now it's tight this roller is against this pin here. That's as tight as it can get You look at the side of the trailer Good tension all the way down the trailer You don't want it to be rock hard like you don't want to rip it But nice and tense like that Tension tension tense good tension like that is what you want And we just got to do up this Back curtain here We'll be on our way And we're all buttoned up Ready to go load is tied down inside there. Remember This canvas here does not provide any load Securement don't depend on that to secure your load All right, I've seen it on YouTube if you imagine it someone has probably done it So you don't want to do that you have to tie it down inside there That's only just to cover it from the elements all right Got the paperwork here. This load is headed to Holland, Ohio I've got one more pickup to put on here yet a 16-foot piece It's that next piece is going to Merrill, Wisconsin It can be a little more difficult to open some of these sometimes Is he gonna put that one on top? Oh? Wow, I would have thought that he would have loaded them both at the same time then but maybe this is a maybe this way is better They do this every day So you got a lineup all the posts It's probably the answer probably too sketchy to do it Both at the same time is the top on my shift then I get it. I get it Trying to get it snugged up as close as we can To this stuff there. I'm gonna go over here stay out of the way being hauled somewhere Look at that black on black If I ever come into a lot of money, I will have a car identical to this Corvette black on black That is my dream car right there Exactly we're hauling it somewhere for someone if I play my cards right and be smart I Will have one of those one day Exactly that except it might be a newer model This looks like a brand new Corvette now by the time I can afford one, you know It might be like five ten fifteen years down the road You get what I mean, right? It's like my pickup. I like black-on-black, and I like Chevy That's a nice car drooling a bit here So the mobile wash guys I went to go talk to them. They're here to wash trailers today They're just finishing up They got as many done as they could in the time they had I guess And I asked if they would be here regularly and they didn't know I sure like it that they've got them in here Though keeping our trucks clean. I know it's Becoming probably becoming a meme already George is talking about cleaning the trucks again I'm kind of obsessed with clean vehicles a little bit I mean the inside I'm not always so picky about because it's hard to keep the inside of your vehicle clean I would prefer it to be clean with the outside. I mean, that's the first impression Everyone has You know like this truck I would love it to be shining I'd love to be driving a show truck because that's What a lot of people are seeing right but you know sometimes you got a Take yourself down a notch out of the fantasy world and Remember that you're living in the real world and just be thankful for what you got And this is a good truck. Yes, you got a little rust on her. She's she's a good truck. I'm thankful You know, they could have put me in like a little Volvo day cab That would have been awful. I've got to drop this off on the garbage bin on the way And that's that Why am I going to this side? I have never done that I was gonna get into the driver's seat on the passenger side. What was I thinking? What am I in? Britain No, this is Canada. We drive on this side Put the seatbelt on so I don't follow So do you know why the United Kingdom Australia New Zealand our sister nations of the Commonwealth all drive on the left side of the road You know why it's because back in the day When we were on horseback our right hand would be our dominant hand It was sort of enforced back in the day even as late as my dad in school He was left-handed when he was born, but in school they forced him to be right-handed because that was the right hand to use Fun fact, my sister is now left-handed. So that ended in this generation. But anyways Everyone was right-handed, right? So your right hand would be your sword hand. So you would be on the left side of the road With your enemies coming at you or other people coming at you on your right-hand side And if they were to attack you you would be able to grab your sword with your right hand and defend yourself Because everyone was on this side. Do you think that's true? I Have no idea. I heard it somewhere on the internet. So obviously it must be true. But yeah, we we're the only nation out of our Four nations that Drive on this side and I'm pretty sure that's because we share a continent with America and America has to do everything different They have to do everything America and they don't want to be anything like the UK So if the UK is gonna drive on the left side of the road America is gonna drive on the right side of the road just to be different and We're just following them because it would just cause way too much confusion having to switch sides every time we cross the border. I Think that's I think that's why anyways I Had to use my my heat on the way into work this morning and now I have to use my air conditioning. I Still got that garbage bag on the back of my truck there. Don't let me forget I don't know why I buckled myself in already. I'm just driving across the yard to the garbage can but you never know You never know what could happen on the way there Check out this load Alex fun as far as I know we only got one of these low-boy trailers I don't even know if it's ours like it's in the yard all the time. So I assume it's ours Someone's gonna have a fun time pulling that somewhere Wish it was me. It's pretty cool. I gotta go back and get my broom Very important. I want to bring my broom home because I want to Sweep the driveway eventually I'm gonna get it done yet Tomorrow morning. We're having our air conditioner installed already So I won't be here first thing in the morning probably be coming here in the afternoon once they're done I'm gonna give them a call later on in the day and see how how it's looking It's looking pretty slow tomorrow. They said so I took the the first half of the day to go and Well, I wanted to be at home when they install the air conditioner Someone has to be there to let them in and Britt's gonna be there for the first part of the day But I don't know how long it's gonna take and and someone's got to help her watch the dogs That would be easier if I'm there with her Where's my broom a little bit of time right diesel? You ready for this Chevy? Oh And it needs a good cleaning The menu today burgers cheddar and bacon burgers Yes, so these are burgers that we get from Sobe's grocery store locally here I call them the brain burgers These ones already have cheddar and bacon bits inside it we saw some up later Chevy, what do you think? Wazel? That's a big burger Don't try to get me to give you my burgers. Not gonna work Okay, I gotta make mine Come on. I'm excited. This isn't cheese in there nothing
