 Lotus steel beautiful Canadian steel made in Canada says it right on it. I'll show you later. You don't see that too often That's why I mentioned it usually things are made in Other places around the world can't think of any specific place right now But there is if I feel like there's a specific place on this planet where most things are made and they like to tell everybody Because it's on everything made in this place. Well on this steel. I got in my trailer. It says made in Canada That was nice to see so I delivered two drops in Winkler I'm just leaving my drop here in Plum Cooley, which is just east of Winkler I'm gonna go a little bit further east here on the other side of the Red River way over there But 45 minutes away And drop off the rest of the steel looks like steel tubing. They're pretty heavy pretty heavy I got a tri-axle trailer behind me. So we got some weight on us. The biggest of my deliveries is the last one We're gonna get that off and then I got to bring this trailer back to the yard Then I got a bobtail into Winnipeg I have a load of Winnipeg tomorrow that I've got to bring to Portage Little Prairie a bunch of local running around stuff this week It's a different kind of week for me, but it's you know changing it up a little bit next week I'm sure I'll be back to normal We'll see what happens. Let's get out there. Oh So we're leaving Plum Cooley. This is highway 14 here if you're familiar with southern Manitoba We're gonna follow these red trucks That way not the yellow truck that way we want to go That way. Oh wait, no the yellow trucks going that way. I don't want to go that way either. Oh, here's our chance Here's our chance. Let's give her license plates in Manitoba. I'm just noticing a trend not saying anything The red license plates you can only get them if you're a firefighter using the signals either up there My man my man you're not in your fire truck, but Gotta follow the rules Yeah, I know I've been cut off a few times today all my different pickup trucks all had firefighter plates Just a trend today, I guess anyways that doesn't matter Look at the fields coming up Everything's green green green green green except for the sky that's smoky It's gray. Oh and we got some tourists here. Oh, yes Lovely lovely like I said about 45 minutes and we'll be at our last delivery point. I should be getting there But to 45 to 3 o'clock somewhere in there. Yeah, if we're following this guy, it might be closer to 3 o'clock though It's doing 95 Speed limits 100 so I can't be that upset, right? The speed limit is just the maximum truck it has. I know It's the maximum, but I also would like to go with a speed limit Okay, he's slowing down. Okay, buddy. Don't I keep getting closer and closer. I don't want to get that close to him He's slowing down. I'm going 85 If you want me to pass that's cool. I'm not gonna pass you till I feel comfortable. You know, that's one thing on the road Personally, I don't like it when people try to force me to pass and I know they're just trying to be nice That's the thing about it You don't want to get mad at them because they're trying to be nice. Oh, this guy's going for it. Send it, bud Give her You're gonna cut in here, aren't you? No, you're gonna take us both. Okay. That's illegal, but I won't tell anybody What was I saying when people are going slow in the highway and they're trying to be nice and they want to let you pass So they'll try to like wave you around When and I don't always feel comfortable passing because sometimes I got a really heavy load and I need like five miles to get Pass them right because it's gonna take a while and I can see traffic coming and I know I can't make it But they're like insisting getting mad at you like pass me already pass. You can go you can go Like no, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I'll just stay behind you Don't tell me what to do. Don't tell me how to live my life. Maybe I want to go slow, too Let's go slow together. I've had that a couple of times, too They get right mad at you if they don't if you don't pass them when they tell you to like bud When I feel comfortable passing I'll pull out into the passing lane and then when you see me pull out into the passing lane The courteous thing to do then is let off the throttle slow down So it's easier for me to get past and then you can maintain your speed after right and then I'll be out of your hair Because I want to go faster than you obviously and I'll be gone out of your hair and you can Continue on down the road. La di da with no one behind you, right? That's what I do. Anyways, if someone wants to get past me. I don't speed up I don't maintain my speed or Or anything like that when they want to pass I slow down let them get past me I want them to get past me just I'll wait till they feel comfortable enough to pull out to make the pass Then I'll help them out. That's just me though. I mean I get why people do it like they want to let you know Hey, it's safe to come by Sort of one of those awkward situations where you're like, thanks, but no thanks He's not doing a bad speed. He's sped up. He's doing a 98 now 97 Not too bad. He's going fast enough that I can't justify speeding to get past him and he's slowing down again You know legend has it that even when you're pulling a camper trailer your cruise control still works Well, I don't know. I don't know That's just rumors Rumors, maybe you're not supposed to use your cruise control when you're pulling a trailer. I don't know. I do Hey, it's on right down again, but come on man. Come on man. I'm gonna deal with this guy and We'll see you guys when we're at our delivery. I'm gonna use that crane Down there to unload me and I wanted to show this to you because I was talking to you about it. Look at this Can you believe it? Something was made right here. There it is again. There it is again Look at that We make stuff We make stuff too Take that China lots of stuff in here That's the crane over there that's gonna unload me. So I better get my straps off of here Look how clean this place is though, right? Look how clean this place is It's amazing It is not very often that you see a big warehouse like this that you could practically eat off the floor That is awesome that is that deserves a hashtag impressed I'm gonna leave you guys in here while I finish off There it comes Which also has a Tim Hortons I'm very excited for the morning Always like oh, there's a bob tail in the parking spot. How dare he? In my defense It's pretty empty here. There's this whole spot beside me. That's empty and I needed somewhere to park I wanted Timmy's in the morning Like look at this you got this over here all of this is wide open like I'm surprised usually I Shouldn't say usually because I don't stay here often. Oh, there's a pickup right there Guy in there Don't want to think I'm filming him or anything, but there's like No trucks here So here we are. I have to pick up a load just down the street over there. That's why I'm parked here First thing tomorrow morning and I have to be their first thing because I have to have a trailer that I'm picking up right over there In Portageville Prairie by 9 30 a.m. Tomorrow before 9 30 So I have to get up at about 7 a.m. Or so. She doesn't too bad, right? It's not too bad. You go over there and pick up the trailer the adiata And the blah blah blah for 45 minute drive down that way you're in Portage and that's pretty much my whole day Tomorrow is Friday when I'm filming this on a Thursday. I'm not too sure what day the week I release a song I'm filming this on a Thursday. So tomorrow's Friday and That means after I'm done in Portage. I head home And I'm really looking forward to that this weekend is a big weekend for us because on Saturday is our baby shower Which is a Jack and Jill baby shower, which means it's for men and women. I mean as I can go And I'm really looking forward to that really looking forward to that and Sunday Father's Day, it's my first one. I don't know how to feel exactly like should I feel excited? Should I feel proud? Should I should I not say anything? I Can't say nothing because I'm excited That's my first father's day I can't wait. I don't know what we're gonna do. We're probably just gonna Britt already asked me what I want to do and I said well if it's a nice day if the sun's shining I just want to sit on the porch all day. I want to sit outside and enjoy my family I don't want to do anything. I just want to sit at home and be with be with them and just be So let's see what happens. That's the weekend ahead and then Monday All blues going in for a service Full service top to bottom front to back side to side bottom and top full service Monday morning, and I'm hoping hoping that they can get it done in the morning so that By Afternoon I could probably get going They gotta keep these wheels turning speaking of wheels. I got to get these tires replaced very soon as well There let me show you They're getting close right They're getting close The front drives are even worse. I don't know if the camera will pick it up right now, but They need to be replaced. I've already got two. Remember I bought two in January already So since the front drives are the worst, I'm gonna replace those first I'm gonna Buy two more that match the other two. I already have Swap those out. I'm hoping these which have a little bit more left on them will last about another two or three months And then I'll buy another four for the back This one already has mismatched treads, which yes has been driving me crazy But it is what it is I had a flat tire and they couldn't repair it so I bought those two remember I Don't know how long you guys have been following me or not if you guys remember. I believe it was in January I had this flat tire and The only way it was an emergency roadside repair. I was out of truck stop often Radisson's this catch one And the only tires they had that could get me going were two good years I forget the model name of the tires right now But anyways, I have to replace two of them because you can't just replace one right and the other one wears funny So I bought two But I didn't want to Have brand new tires on one side and not on the other side So what I did was I went to KK Penner in Glamour and I bought a used tire, which is this one here And I had the same tread depth as the other ones So this has allowed me to wear all of my other tires down To the point where they are now needing to be replaced. So I got another Five months out of these tires and these ones on the back I'm probably gonna get another two or three months out of yet And then the ones in the front they need to be replaced next month I'm thinking next month So this is what it is Tires are expensive now too I got them on a deal these two because I got them through our account at work They were seven hundred and fifty dollars each by the looks of it but Normally the tires would go for anywhere between seven hundred and fifty and a thousand dollars each So the next two tires will be on my account Which is different than the company's account because the company's got obviously they have like a hundred and two hundred trucks They have a different account than me and I run my own businesses my own truck So I have my own accounts and Those tires might be a little more expensive. I'm thinking probably between eight and nine hundred dollars each And I have eight of them on the back and then also let's not forget. I have steer tires on the front of my truck Those have got to be replaced as well this fall. I'm hoping that those steers will last me until the snow starts falling We'll see what happens those are between Between nine hundred and a thousand dollars each on the front so To do some math for you Keep in mind. I'm terrible at math. That's why I have calculators and I'm not using one right now I'm sitting on between eight and ten thousand dollars of rubber on this truck Just so you know the operation costs of a truck like this Those tires the steer tires usually last I'd say about a one to two years depending on where you drive and how you drive And the drive tires back here these eight They last between two and three years depending on how you drive and where you drive If I'm totally off on that maybe you drive maybe you've had tires that last way longer than that Feel free to correct me down in the comments section down below on I'm open to correction Everybody's experience is different obviously because everybody drives differently and everybody's in a different region I'm on the prairies here. If you don't you haven't noticed it's flat It's flat all around me just flat It's flatter than a pancake out here So if you're driving the mountains you probably have a different Tire life span than I do let me know down below in the comment section How long do a set of drives last you and how long do your steers last you and let me know where you are and what Conditions to drive into maybe you learn something new today. Maybe you didn't either way Give me a thumbs up if you did like the video if you really didn't like it You can hit that thumbs down button twice. That's the the magic number hit it twice for me I'll see you tomorrow go down below. Make sure you're subscribed. There'll be another video tomorrow We're headed home tomorrow. I'm actually excited. I'm gonna go deliver that I think I'm pulling a tanker or something tomorrow. It's gonna drop it off in portage and Head on home for our baby shower and for Father's Day. We'll see you then
