 Good morning everybody, it's Thursday. Today's a bit of a different kind of day. We're parking this girl for a while. She's gotta go see the shop. Her engine is not running healthy at all and it's been getting worse and worse. Yesterday it was giving me some big problems, today it's giving me big problems and the engine light came on now as well. So I've moved all my stuff out of this truck and we've moved into the truck. We were originally assigned, 2025. So for the foreseeable future, this is gonna be the truck I'm in. So if you see me running around the perimeter on a Winnipeg, I've got black fenders and a black hood, stretched wheel base, that'll be me. Bumper's in a little bit of rough shape but in general, the rest of the truck is in better shape actually. It's got no rust around the windshield there. It's got the old school round bullet lights, bullet marker lights up on top. Doesn't have as much storage. It has one storage bin like this for me on the other side underneath the passenger side for straps and equipment and stuff. And this one on the back here that's bolted down. I already got my broom up here. Got all my chains, my straps are all in here. We've moved in. And now it matches my pickup, right? The whole black theme. It's my pickups right over there, right? The blacked out, I love blacked out vehicles. Any vehicle I get is usually a Chevy black emblem, blacked out. My wife's or our terrain is also black but that has chrome rims on it. You get it, you get it. I like black vehicles. So this here is what I'm gonna be looking at from now on. And you know what? I like it. I gotta put away all my stuff I just moved in. It's amazing, even just for being a day cab driver, there's a lot of stuff I carry with me every day. Yeah, my water bottle, my lunch, my clipboard, other stuff for the vlog. This is my charger, my inverter, converter I just carry one along with me. This plugs into the cigarette lighter. Turns it into DC outlets here or whatever you wanna call it so that I think I got that wrong. But I can charge my cameras and stuff on it. Got my cross for the windshield there. Got my bag, phone obviously. Got my phone mount. I gotta figure out where I'm gonna put my mount in here. But this was the truck they were originally gonna put me in to begin with. So I don't have any GoPro mount set up anywhere isn't here yet, so we'll see what we come up with today. But this thing has a lot of gauges. Old school, old school, I love it. And this truck has had the engine redone from what I've heard. I'd have to double check that with the shop. But from what I've heard around the yard, this truck's got a very healthy engine has just been redone recently. And it's not gonna give me any problems. That truck over there, the old one, is the only day cab that we have like this that hasn't been redone yet from what I've heard. So that engine needs to go and get some attention from the good old doctors in the shop. Maybe get a rebuild, maybe get, I don't know. I'll let the mechanics take care of that. I'm a driver, I'm not a mechanic. So now you know, this is our new home. We'll go over the differences in here in a little bit. But we do have dome lights that work. How do I turn them on again? Oh, here we go. Aha, dome lights, we didn't have that in the old truck when I opened the door. Oh, look at that, the old truck didn't have that. That one's burnt out, I think I gotta fix that. Radio is way up here. It's a little bit of a different setup, but much the same. No door cubby here though. See, it's just a plain door, no door cubby here. I swear I always kept my gloves. So if you want something for that, let me get organized in here and we'll get started on our day soon. We're supposed to be getting a load here in the next few minutes that we have to deliver possibly. Let me get settled in a bit here. So what do we got under the hood, Trucker Josh? You may ask. Well, first of all, you'll see that we got these fun little lights there. They work, that's fun, right? The other truck didn't have those. Same thing, the washer fluid is on the passenger side for some reason. And I'm gonna have to fill that up. This by the looks of it, this is the first time I'm seeing this engine. As I opened the hood, looks like it's a cat motor. Looks like it's a new alternator. See if I can find some specs for you around here. I don't know what year this truck is yet either. So, let's see if it says it here anywhere. Ah, there it says, it's a C15 cat. It doesn't say the year. I'm not seeing it, not seeing it. C15 cat, anyways. Ah, right here it says model numbers 379. What year is it though? I'll have to figure that out for you. I'm not sure what year this truck is. It's definitely older than the other one. The other one was a 2007. And like I said, we got this, or I've got my four inch straps and a couple of two inch straps and ratchets in that there. This is my other storage cubby. It's got a little less storage than the other truck. And I've got my OD equipment in here, some corners. We need this, washer fluid, WD-40, same idea. Remember those green rental trailers I picked up? Oh, we're bringing them back. So my job today is to bring back two of these. I've got to make sure that none of our equipment is left on here. Only the equipment that belongs to the trailer is left in here. I'm going to go over to the tent over there. And sort that all out. I'm going to take this truck on its first maiden voyage with us. All right. Everybody be nice to her. It's not easy being the new guy. I'm really going to miss the back window. I don't have a back window anymore. Other than that, I mean, the tanks are set back instead of under the doors. She runs quieter. She's not as loud. Doesn't have as much rust around the window but she's got her, you know, she's still an old girl. And we're sticking with my regular black theme just like I told you before, like our personal vehicles. Hey, and one thing we can say, we now have matching fenders. They're not half fenders, but they're matching. So in a roundabout way, I got my wish. And these rims will also polish out a lot nicer. You can tell they're real dirty right now, but these will be a lot easier to polish up. They're not as dirty and old as the other truck. And let's pull this trailer out, get her cleaned up and bring her on home where she belongs. Oh yeah, another bonus of this truck. We have a full steering wheel. Check that out. And these gauges, they call like little sun visors. Still have to clean it all up and dust it all down, but we'll get to that. In our driver room here, we got a window into the shop. They've already got my truck in the shop. I don't know what they're doing, but I'm gonna fix her up. This truck does run a lot smoother. A lot quieter though, a lot quieter. We still got the jake brakes a little bit for you. That's okay. The truck itself is running great for such an old truck, but I'm surprised that this one's running. Well actually, since they've done so much work to the engine on this truck, I'm not surprised that it's running a lot better than the newer one we were in before. That's a nice little change, nice little change of immediate scenery. So I've brought back the first rental trailer already and I'm actually in the process of bringing back the second one. So I had to get all of our equipment out of the boxes. There was a whole bunch of straps and dunnage in there. And the rental place doesn't want that back. So I got that all off the truck and the guys in the yard helped me. Brown this guy though. This guy is driving me nuts. Why are you going so slow, man? I've got places to be. Trucking, can't be angry when you're trucking. Look at the size of that thing. Must be one of those mobile site offices for construction zones and stuff. Why is that truck moving so slowly over there? You see that? Weird. I think he's blocking the highway. Man, that's a low trailer. Don't those low-boy trailers, don't they drag on the ground a lot like over bumps and intersections? Are they designed for that? I've always wondered that because they got to hit the ground all the time. So that means that they've got to design it with that in mind. More trailer behind me, Bob tailing back. They asked me if I'd stay late today. And I agreed. I have to make a delivery in Winnipeg just after five o'clock, which means I should be back around the yard, maybe six o'clock out of there by 637. Britt went to her mom's house tonight for the night. So I'm not, don't got any reason to rush home other than the dogs, but I think she only left like around one o'clock, so they'll be fine. Truck I've noticed goes a little bit faster than the other truck. The other truck was governed at 100 kilometers an hour, 60 miles an hour. This truck is governed at 105 or 65. 100 kilometers an hour or 62 miles an hour. So I get an extra three miles an hour. But this guy is in the left lane and he's not good. I think his vehicle's in front of him. Oh, it bugs me. Perimeter when all these city drivers, they don't get it. The left lane is not for traveling, it's for passing. They'll never understand. They'll never get it. It's sort of like trying to explain to a city person what high beams are. And it's my city friends, a lot of you know what high beams are because you watch my videos. But most people, most people don't watch my videos that live in cities. If everybody watched my videos, man, I'd be like PewDiePie. Millions of viewers, that would be cool. I don't watch, so they drive down the highway here with their high beams on and they have no idea. No idea. You can flash your high beams at them. They have no idea what you're trying to tell them. No, that's a city person thing. They're used to having street lights so nobody ever tells them how to use their different lights. I get it, I get it. For like 20 minutes from our yard, I'm gonna get there, go find the trailer and grab the paperwork and see if I need to tie it down or not. Get it ready to go and then we just sit around and wait because they don't want us there early. There's a special note on the load. Do not be early. A little late is even okay. So like just after five o'clock, I'd say like 5.05 to 5.15, somewhere in there, no later than 5.15. That's just what I get out of that. Weird, right? Not very often you get hooked onto a load that says please don't be on time and definitely don't be early. I do get the don't be early often but I never get the don't be on time, be a little late please. We got a new friend with us today. Oh, it doesn't have a front door. That'll make it more difficult to get in there and check on things. Got a couple of boats in here that need to go into Winnipeg. It's gonna be a little bit of a late delivery like I was saying. Gotta be there for after five. We're gonna hook her up, make sure that there's no air leaks, make sure the lights all work and we'll drag it into rush hour. Fun, fun. Lights, lights, lights, lights and hazards. Why the lights not on here? There we go. Okay, let's roll these up before we forget. Oh, this one comes with its very own ladder. How about that? It's fancy, that is fancy. Low gear, this is as fast as it goes. All right, taking it again. You hear that? They're happy. That's nice, happy trailers. Little windy back here so I apologize for the wind noise. Just in here making sure that they're all nicely tied down still then we'll hit the road. Yay, rush hour. Well, that was fun. But this video is getting pretty long already, so are they finished with her? What did they do? Well, if they're finished, I guess then tomorrow morning I'll move all my stuff back in. Interesting. I thought it was gonna take days. That's why I moved everything into that. But I guess we're moving back in here tomorrow. All right then. Well, I put her in her proper spot over there. I guess tomorrow will a strange day indeed. They obviously didn't go too deep into that engine. They probably just looked up what the engine light was and addressed that problem and called it a day. It was fine. But the thing about this truck, I do like it. I like driving it. I think it's a nice looking truck. It's in a little bit better shape, cosmetically. But the air conditioning doesn't work. The whole climate control doesn't work. The only thing that works is the fan. You can turn the fan on and off, but you can't cycle it between the vents. It's only blowing straight at you. So if the window needs it defrost, it doesn't blow through there. The air conditioning doesn't work. It doesn't heat very well. So I mean, if the climate control could get fixed, I mean, that would be all the, everything would be taken care of on there then, right? But that truck, the climate control is very nice. The 3006, my truck, it's got a strong fan. It heats up the truck like to a hot box if you want it, or it'll turn it into a little ice box if you want it. So probably in the first thing in the morning, I'm gonna grab my stuff off of here, grab my chains, my broom and move back in there. It may not be the prettiest truck, but it is a lot more comfortable to drive, that's for sure. It has a much sharper turning radius too than this black one. I don't know, we'll see. Let's let tomorrow worry about tomorrow. Let's go home. It's 7.30, woo-hoo, 12 and a half hour shift today. Nice.
