 probably going down to the U.S. I'm not too sure where yet actually you know what I do know it's in my computer here there's four pieces one's going to ando florida another one going to going to it's going to chevrolet riverport tree port Louisiana Louisiana so we got to go pick that up right now but i want to share something special with you very excited i'm charging it up right now but christmas came early this year and i want to give a special shout out and thank you to Jim one second here a gopro hero 10 black edition it's still got all the protective plastic on it i'm just charging it up a little bit right now because i have to update it before i can use it there it is hero 10 black this was and it came with a nice carrying case too excuse my garbage fan over here i need to empty that out but thanks jim so much that is going to go to good use every day and it'll bring much better content to you guys as well so we're all gonna benefit off this it's an early christmas gift he also got something for my wife brit uh a gift card and we just want to say thank you so much uh what a blessing i will put it to very good use and make sure that it improves the quality for everybody so now i got two gopros i have this gopro hero nine no this is the gopro hero eight black edition so we skipped the nine all together and we got the 10 i didn't even realize that i thought i had a nine no we got an eight and he got us a 10 we are a state of the art here now top of the line i'm blowing away i'm i'm very excited about it like i said just gotta charge it up a little bit and then uh we'll be uh off to the races with it probably starting tomorrow so i can use this one and that one together and get multiple angles he got me extra batteries extra batteries so i wonder what the nine means on here i hope that doesn't mean that it's like for the hero nine uh i'm sure it'll work just fine i think it's just the kind of battery that it is probably long lasting or something that's cool cool cool and like it says here i have to update it first hey well we've got karen just booting up there i'm mostly using uh karen the gps just so that i can have a good view of where i'm at it shows me all the streets around me i can see what streets are coming tells me what the speedometer or i mean what the speed limit is and how fast i'm going it'll ding at me if i'm going too fast stuff like i see it shows me where i'm at there on the road i kind of like knowing like if there's a curve coming in the road uh she doesn't really know how to guide me anywhere around winter bag but she can show me the roads that i'm on and that are around me so i appreciate that okay we have to go and hook up to 604 it's the same trailer we had yesterday they unloaded that beautiful dodge truck off of it this morning without me and that's fine but uh i gotta go hook on to it now it's empty i gotta go get some more freight for florida watch out florida we're coming well it won't be me but uh i will have loaded the trailer so it'll it'll have a part of me it'll have my love with it i will send my love with the load to louisiana mississippi in florida that's how it's supposed to be nice and smooth it's flashing though it wasn't an it wasn't an emergency just tailgating me for no reason man if it would have had its lights on i would have felt really bad there i have our freight waiting outside already that's why i like it that's why i wanted this one it's very handy especially with this long wheelbase centered well this one here's headed to florida this one here is also headed to florida so these two are going to orlando and we got louisiana mississippi back there it's a really nice light easy load to secure it'll be a nice ride down for the highway driver i'm just gonna button it all up seal it all up make sure that uh everything is in order so that when i get back to the yard the highway driver will have everything set up for him already or her but they should still double check my work just in case they're watching okay and double check my work double check the securement and make sure everything's tight and closed properly okay just like that 39 minutes and i'm rolling away so a little longer than i thought but that's okay let's check the the weather here i just got a message on my satellite saying that we're expecting 10 to 25 centimeters of snow on wednesday i got to make sure oh i had 99 chance of precipitation on wednesday let's check this out snowing 90 99 chance of snow and rain in the morning 96 chance of snow at night says snow likely it's a low of minus two 15 to 25 kilometer an hour east northeast winds chance of snow 100 snow accumulating 7 to 12 centimeters so we're in for our first snowstorm of the season we got a special weather statement here i don't care about the ads come on special weather statement uh issued by meteorological services of canada and environment canada first winter storm of the season from manitoba for southern manitoba wednesday will be a messy day with a mix of rain and snow over much of the region accompanied by a risk of freezing rain over western regions air and ground temperatures a bit above zero should limit snowfall accumulation during the day however cold air wrapping into the system late in the day will change the precipitation completely over to snow and accumulating snow is expected to continue through thursday it's a good thing we don't work on thursday it's a holiday all right manitoba show me what you got come on if you're going to give me a snowstorm on my day off it better be a good one okay because i don't got to work i don't got to be out there on the roads on thursday so i want to see a big snowstorm on thursday i'm counting on it let's see what you got manitoba give me your best shot just hold off until thursday could you our wednesday night that'd be great thanks let's get out of here look both ways twice we're clear there we're clear there i'm giving i'm going for it i'm gonna send it he's turning anyway okay cobons and my neighbors in north dakota minnesota i'm sure you're gonna be affected by this as well you guys ready for this this is what we were built for this is what we were born for winter weather this is our time to shine our chance to prove to the world that we're good at something we're good at surviving we're good at clearing snow we're good at shoveling and snow blowing and we're good at driving in winter weather all right guys this is our time to shine i'm looking forward to it bring it on it's already mid november pretty much i think it's time for winter i welcome her bring it on let's get it over with the sooner we get winter over with the sooner we get summer again i'm going for it there we go favorite corner i always roll down my window here like that'll help i'm going for it it's on the don't hit me please lights great intersection to take newbies through as you're training them and once you uh once they feel comfortable driving the truck in all normal circumstances hit them with that intersection see what they're made of because if you can't get through that intersection well there are going to be tougher circumstances you find yourself in in trucking that's just a really uh really nasty intersection there that trailer is finished finished i'm finished let's head it down to warmer weather now i'm going to have to find a roll tight step deck in the yard somewhere i'm going to need one for tomorrow i have to go up to arberg and too long again tomorrow and i'm not seeing any roll tight steps in the yard i'm going to see if this one's empty or what it's doing over here because it's not parked on the cement you see mines parked on the cement pad but the cement pad ends here so did someone drop a loaded trailer here maybe it's here for a reason i'm just gonna take a peek inside the back here see if there is something in here or not oh yeah we got lumber so this is a heavy load and somebody dropped it just on the the soft gravel good thing it's well packed whoops like i said maybe it's here for a reason but usually you wouldn't put a loaded trailer there because uh you have to have the dolly legs on the cement okay well i didn't need a flat anyways i need a step and i'm not seeing one so i'm going to have to let dispatch know that i'm not seeing one maybe they're expecting one to come in tonight yet it's gonna need to be here for 6 30 tomorrow morning i'll go keep looking around the yard 4 17 these are the old ones that we bought so they're the old new ones or the new old ones to see if there's anything in here it's in the loaded lineup so i'm assuming there's something in there yep there's something in there what is that okay well can't use this one this trailer wasn't dropped on the cement properly either oh and this also what guys that's not supposed to be like that i'm gonna fix this guys that's supposed to be around there okay and this isn't even in here properly the guys aren't putting these away properly there you go you see so that that big piece sort of like a rope inside there has to be inside and then you grab that tighten out there you go see now that's here probably is this side not done properly either then this side's done properly this however this cord is what pulls these tight and when you don't have these hooked in that'll roll the thing up right you don't want to have this thing just loose back here you need to put a tarp strap on there i'll have to go and get one from my truck and i need to put my gloves on now my steering wheel is going to get all dirty oh well there you go straps here always come prepared they're always fixing things oh this hook isn't very good oh boy i'm gonna grab a different one this one's garbage or at least the hook is grab a better one there we go worry about that other one in a minute one thing at a time you see this what can i say that was easily avoidable if this was springtime or if this uh if we had a heavy rainfall and this ground here softened up this trailer would go along with that other one that we looked at over there too that'd be fun getting out of that that's why the smet pad is there right there you just had to pull forward a bit oh well see i just go like this and uh hook it in like in there like that that holds that up that holds that there that holds this down there you go everything's nice and tight that's the third time i've replaced that tarp strap on there i guess drivers have been uh i shouldn't say the driver maybe they've well who else would it be someone's been just not doing this and then what happens is this rope when you don't have that tied down that rope there just flails around in the wind behind the truck and then this gets loose then the ropes come out of the tracks up there and then you got a big mess of cleaning up the pulleys and the so much easier just you know see there you go problem solved see how long this one lasts this bothers me a lot though like my ocd is maybe there's a reason though right i'm not the one that put it there maybe there's a reason it's not on the cement maybe it's allergic to cement i don't know let's check the other ones this one's not on the cement properly either this side is that side's on the asshole okay now i'm just being a karen i don't want to be a karen let's get back to work i already got one karen in this truck all right 605 just came out of the shop let's see is this one empty come on open up okay so we have a empty flat we don't have any of the step so uh now i'm gonna have to check oh no i just got a message back saying they don't want a flat tomorrow they want a step but i've got to go and grab 417 that we just looked at before with the lumber and unload the lumber right now so that i can use that trailer tomorrow so at least i've got the opportunity now to uh satisfy my ocd and get that off of the gravel and want to come back put it on the cement bugs me who does that all right see what's in here okay i gotta bring these guys into heading way into the ball of fire wow that is bright a little bit of extra load securement for my own satisfaction i'm just gonna remind everybody when you do uh haul any freight down the road doesn't matter who you're hauling for double check your strap and your load securement always more than just once you should be doing it every time you stop unless you're stopping every half hour i get it but just double check it a couple times a day at least sometimes freight settles and then your straps get loose i should say often your freight will settle almost every time it'll settle into the donage and you want to make sure that your straps are still tight and your load is still secure just anyway added some more securement onto this load just to uh make myself feel comfortable because before i take freight out on the highway i want to make sure it's not going to kill someone i don't want any of my freight coming off my trailer coming through the wall of my trailer or coming through the cab behind me or anything falling off the back you know i have this thing about just not wanting people to die around me so i uh i take extra precautions to make sure that my freight is extra secure maybe i do a little bit of overkill maybe i'm a little too zealous but uh my argument and my comeback would be there is no such thing as too much securement as long as you're not damaging the freight right so i just got to bring these things these like lawnmower things over to the west side of winnipeg by headingly drop them off and i'm gonna stay hooked up to this trailer because i'm taking this trailer up to arberg tomorrow with me i don't think it's gonna get very cold tonight i gotta check the temperature if it's gonna get too cold i'm gonna have to go plug the truck in but don't worry about that later don't worry about that later for now let's just uh try to keep that ball of fire out of our eyes and the sun has decided to say good day and good night till tomorrow i guess it would just be a good night the day is over good day would be it's gone show you down that must mean it's like 4 30 five o'clock so i gotta stuff off my trailer there's two tractors i had to fix a bunch of stuff on this trailer because they fit together uniquely they're different than our other roll tights and i've told you this before right whoever took this trailer out after i loaded it didn't know how to put it back together properly i guess and they improvised they ended up damaging it a little bit so i was able to fix it uh i'm gonna have to let the shop know that there's some uh issue with the seal that comes around in here they'll get it fixed up real quick i'll probably do it on the night there he's pretty good straight up on here you can see he's mostly touching but uh this cable that holds these two together uh it had come undone and i guess he hadn't figured out he couldn't figure out how to put it back together so he had come up with another way of keeping this together with a portable strap right it just so happened that the the pulleys were a bit mixed up in there i'll show you so that you know what i'm talking about it's hard to explain it okay hopefully it's not too dark oh it's pretty dark okay well hopefully you can see this there's a pulley system here in place and it goes down to here if i don't fall off the step first i can show you that's probably too dark you're not gonna be able to see that on youtube sorry guys i'm gonna show you this another day i think i have shown you this system but this was all mixed up here the cable was on the wrong pulley and it obviously come apart and so he used a portable strap that ended up bending this up a little bit but i was able to bend it back put it in place and i'll get the shop to take another look at it just to be sure that it's still good it's safe it's not like it's unsafe it's just you know how i like everything to be straight and lined up it's just not as straight and lined up as i'd like it to be but i i acknowledge that uh not everybody likes things as neat and in order as me okay not everybody has this sense of uh you know straight lines should be in order and i just gotta respect that right everybody's different that's cool nothing was permanently broke or anything it's you know i fixed it i fixed it just took me an extra half hour but we got nothing else to do anyways we're going home now it is cooling down really fast it's about quarter to six well a little closer to six o'clock actually completely dark outside and it's dropped like five degrees in the last half hour it surprises us every year well we know what's coming but when it gets here we're still like fascinating seasons isn't that isn't that interesting not just me okay it's just me i got stopped talking about that you guys think i'm boring we're back to the artificial sun when i get to work and when i leave work man not even like a little bit of light at the in the western sky nothing told surprises me every year wow like i said like my dad grew up in Paraguay and there's a lot of Germans down in South America i have some friends that grew up there as well and they were telling me we met up with them last weekend and they were telling me how the sun doesn't really change in Paraguay it goes right over the center of the sky for the most part you're so close to the equator you don't even really notice that it rides directly in the east sets in the west all year round huh my dad still has family down in south america and uh my friends as well they're new friends of mine i met them through my wife and uh some of her friends husbands and they're german guys from down in south america as well lots of lots of those in our area it's uh it's interesting the way they they they share their stories from down there total different lifestyle you got to worry about like panthers or jaguars and snakes and but no snow yeah there's huge huge pockets of germans in paraguay in bolivia in even some in argentina not as many but uh mostly paraguay bolivia um brazil and even in mexico like my mom was born in mexico her whole family they were living in a german area of mexico it seems that mainstream culture up here in northern north america doesn't really realize that they think that it's all latin and all spanish there's actually huge pockets of germans speaking people in south america and uh my family and my friends are proof and evidence of that they speak just german they don't speak spanish they speak german in their towns and cities there
