 diesel Good morning to you, buddy. What a nice morning. I think it's gonna be a nice day. It's going to be a good day Going to be we're gonna make it one. I have to be an arbor today nice and early So I'm up a little earlier than usual today Apparently so is every bird in town. It's gonna be a really nice week if the forecast holds up So let's knock on wood. Hopefully that didn't just wreck it It's supposed to be up in the low 30s Around 30 Celsius. So it's gonna be between, you know, let's say for the Americans a You know 90 Fahrenheit between 80 and 90 Fahrenheit this week. So hot but not too hot just Hot it's gonna be a great week for riding. So today Like I said, we're headed into where we got to go arborg picks up and up up there not too sure If there's anything this afternoon, there'll probably be something I usually do about two loads a day It all depends on which load it is and How far away it is and how long it takes but Arbor is usually pretty quick once I get up there that the shippers up there are really good They load up pretty quickly. They're always ready for you and they always load it up very carefully I like going up there. This is the progress on our front deck so far I've pulled this up up to here. We still got to do all of that yet Hopefully this week I'll be able to get all of this out of here And I'm probably gonna have to rebuild this whole frame because this frame was built with non-treated lumber and the way they built it I showed you this already like you see how they they put this cap on the end in front of that And then this is resting on this piece here, which is all rotten obviously because the water gets in here and then it just sits in here And then over there they didn't take the front steps out you see So they're still front like because we'll have to leave them there too because we can't move those So I have to work around that I might want to rebuild this whole frame with treated lumber We'll see every project you start you always know it's going to be a little bigger than That expected it's too early to think about this stuff right now though. Yeah, it's We'll look at this in the afternoon later for now. I'm just gonna get the bike loaded up and Take off to work. You know these saddlebags are really handy Actually, I took them off this weekend to see what it looks like without it Actually looks really good with or without it. They're just Way too handy to not have them going to work because I can have all my work stuff in there another ride Made it safe and sound My truck is not in its spot. You might have noticed there That's Roy's truck. That's Roger's truck My truck's around the corner. I Hooked it up yesterday already so that I could just jump in and go today Do a quick pre-trip. I pre-tripped everything yesterday, but obviously I'll just double-check everything today Make sure it's good to go There she is Warming up getting ready to go Just waiting for us up here grumbling so grumbly in the mornings Close little chilly in here. Whoo Turn the AC off for now. We're gonna need it later. All right. All right, you guys ready? Well, you know the routine Trailers already empty checked it out yesterday Lights are all working, but I'm gonna walk around again for your benefit So you can see that I'm not lying to you. Why would I lie to you? All the tires have been filled with premium summer air wonderful Wonderful now the back axles lifted because I'm empty now one thing you got to be careful of when you lift the back axle on these trailers and other trailers like it You see how close it is up here and these wheels do touch the ground sometimes and they spin a little bit when they do when you go over bridge connections and stuff these On this trailer, thank goodness have a stopper there they put a bolt in there to stop it some of the trailers This thing actually pushes forward and actually touches the tire and when the tire hits a bridge connection or something Tires starts turning and this actually digs into the tire defeating the purpose of lifting the axle to save the tires that At that point you're lifting the axle to destroy the tires So you got to be careful on these lift axles make sure that these Cannot touch them when they're up because that defeats the whole purpose Rex them even faster that way you may as well just left them down would have lasted way longer Yeah, you know what I mean Make sure it's all tight rollers are right to the back here I'm gonna oil them all up nicely when we get there to the back All of these are locked in place locked in place Man not done very well. I'm gonna try to redo this a little bit here Give me a minute. Give me a minute. I Know I can't get a really good angle for you, but I want to try to get this belt grow better in place It's so tough because they Yeah, I guess it's as good as we can do it Okay, well it is closed and it is secured so it's not like it's gonna go flying all over the place and causing me damage or Scare little old ladies behind me. You don't want to do that That's not nice Yeah, this trailer all need to be Refurbished a little bit on the top there soon, but no not a big issue. It's pinned in here Let's make a note of it Looks like I'm a little too much of a chunky hunk to get through here Is that a thing all the lights are working Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Why is the plate light working? Friendly Manitoba That's our slogan doesn't have to be true. It's just our slogan Alrighty, we're all set Set to rock and roll Let's roll on up to our bird. Say hello to our friends there double check our trailer's not gonna fall off on the way Okay, you guys watching and I'll spike the brake and it's attached Yes So much better when it's attached. Oh my windshield is dirty. Oh my we're gonna do something about that today Highway 59 northbound Go around our perimeter. This guy took a kind of wide a Well, it's probably a truck turning that way. That's probably why oh And it's busy. Everybody is going to work at the same time. You see and I'm already at work Look at this car. Holy look at this thing Hardcore he is serious. It was actually really nice riding into work today the traffic I went in earlier right because I had to get an earlier start and The traffic was a lot lighter at that time It was really nice to just relax on the road and not have people Tailgating you the whole time because it doesn't matter if you're on a motorcycle. Let's tell you anyway Look at this little blue car coming up here Look at them go That's awesome. Is that a triumph? Is that what that is? He was staring at you guys. I think he liked you Maybe he was wondering why the trucker had a big camera on his head I don't know for that was your cue to go but you were at stop sign first Yeah, well, you're not gonna go. I'm gonna go ever give her ever ever ever. Okay. Well, you lost two chances now I'm not giving you a third. I'm going As soon as I can after these cars if he's not gonna go watch he's gonna try to go now when I try to go That's how it always works, right? Okay, now. Oh see he's turning that way. That's why see if you had your turn signal on I would have known that Now, why did you turn into the left lane? You see that she turned here and went right into the left lane Tuesday morning so many questions for me this morning. It's like 23 or 20 20s. I'm beat So I have another pickup here in Winnipeg on the way back I'm gonna fill up at least part of the trailer part of the rest of it a Google GPS here I think we got a turn not here Turn at the next one first street the next one. What is it? Bunting Street? I think I got to pick up 10 crates or something wide street. Good. I like this Then if I'm not sure where to go I can just park on the street up here Drive right in here, right? Well the gates open so right there. Yeah, okay We can figure out what we're picking up here and I'm going to talk to the shipper put on my Professional hat so I look professional info forum when you go into the shipper you want to have your pickup numbers or whatever Computers a little slow here. So it should be seven crates for a total space of 23 feet That should be super easy to tie down if they're just crates as long as they're well built And I'm picking it up here Winnipeg and it is heading to Houston, Texas No pickup numbers or anything here. So I hope they know what freight is heading into Houston Let's go see what they have to say. I'll talk to you in a bit And back to the truck we go to get our cell phone This is one of those shippers. They're not allowed to go inside You just got to go up to the door there and call them and of course I Forgot my phone in the truck Of course I did of course I did Come here you come here. I need you Come with me come with me Can't do my job without you and all your fingerprints A little piece up. There's all we got in there from Arbor. I was expecting a full load up there I never know what to expect till I get there, but this thing is going to Mansfield, Texas. Oh, that makes sense why they would throw other Texas freight on here And yet there will be more than that. He didn't want to eat a big box all the way back over himself He's gonna get the other crates put them right up against here and he's gonna move that up after He just had to get that out of the way first, I guess. I don't know. He said he's gonna move it again another day You know trucking is so much more fun in the summertime. Everything is more fun in the summertime. I Just want to say this is the most organized toolbox or strap box, whatever you want to call it that I have ever seen Now we're just gonna ignore this part over here. All right, we're not saying it's perfect. We're not saying it's perfect But look at this all nicely placed in there These are all the d-hooks on the bottom that hook into like these here And up here on the second level This is where they put the regular a few of the regular straps just to keep them separate from the d-hooks. Now all we got to do is Just clean these up a little bit here and work on the progress that was already made But it's just one strap by the looks of it here Whoever did this Trucker Josh stamp of approval That is amazing. I like seeing it. It restores your faith in drivers if you're wondering why I make a special comment about that usually when I open these Toolboxes here It's just an absolute Unorganized mess everything's all mixed together chains are on top of everything you got to practically take everything out Before you can get like one strap out or It's all unorganized, but this one is nicely organized and it looks like someone actually took a lot of time to neatly place everything in here I try to do that too when I Have the time and have the trailers But whenever they come back, they never look the same and this one looks amazing Special comment right there. Just a special thumbs up. No idea who did that, but if you're watching this That's awesome And there we go. We still got about 13 15 feet on the back here yet. I'd say 13 just to be safe 14 feet Measured it out 14 feet left Have to let them know that I'm probably gonna want to stick something else in there yet that I got the landing gear Right over the concrete first try Place your bets Not perfectly centered, but we're on the concrete So did you just lose a bunch of money or what I? Accept PayPal I'll let you keep your money this time though. It wasn't really a fair bet I didn't fill myself back in here. You didn't actually see me do it in one shot I could have wiggled back and forth and just said I did it in one shot, but you're lucky this time You can keep the money Next time though, I'm serious And with that the air conditioning also turns off so we need to get out of here Let's get out there and get on the bike and get some wind and Wind in our Some wind in our hair So to speak. Oh, it's hot out there. We're in the wife mobile. I Keep talking about how hot it is here. It's actually not that hot compared Oaten Kamloops, British Columbia. You remember that we've been there many times, right? Temperature there is 49 degrees Celsius right now What's that in Fahrenheit? I don't know pretty close to the temperature of hell. I think pretty close I know Washington and Oregon are super hot right now. It was 110 Fahrenheit or something like that So it's hot here, but it's even hotter there. I can't imagine what that must feel like So Britain I neither of us want to make food tonight. So I'm on the way to Little Caesars Sweatpants pajama shirt flip-flops and all feed me So hungry So hungry I wasn't joking I'm a sight for sore eyes. Is that the same? I don't care. Give me my pizza And I guess we're not gonna get any anywhere on this tonight Maybe tomorrow after work if not then on Thursday for sure I have Thursday off Thanks for watching today everybody if you did like it give it a thumbs up helps me out a lot Leave me a comment down below. Let me know what you'd like to see more of in the vlogs I'll try my best to include that. I hope you guys have a great day See you back right here tomorrow morning
