 Good morning internet fellow YouTube people. It's Tuesday. I'm going into work. I take back everything I've said so far this season about it being cold It's minus 21 when I woke up today And I'm gonna remind myself again like I always do that's still nothing. We're still gonna get colder So it's not bad today. It's actually not bad. We're gonna get the truck warmed up We're gonna get ourselves worked up and we're just gonna keep moving all day. It's gonna be a good day It's supposed to warm up today. Anyways in the rest of the week up to next weekend It's supposed to go right up to the to zero to the melting point Whatever you call that in Fahrenheit 32 Supposed to go up to 32 next weekend. So it's gonna be a really good weekend Which is good because our carport ripped apart on us this weekend it was super windy when I came back from that That overnight remember in the t680 super windy and my carport thought so as well. I'll show you it later Ripped half the roof right off of it. So good thing. It's not gonna snow this week or be too Too bad. It's gonna be a little cold. We bought a new cover for it already And that'll be next weekend's project when it's a little bit warmer But today we're gonna focus on what we got to do Which is we don't know I don't know what I'm gonna do today But we're gonna we're gonna go go to the truck and I'll talk to you there. We've got a step-deck roll tight behind us triaxle I've got two deliveries in it that are going into Winnipeg and then we have to head up for too long And load some freight going to New York state Towards next weekend. It's gonna turn out pretty good. We're trucking and it's getting warmer Shouldn't take me too long today as long as this roll tight behind me opens up The way it should in the cold pull ourselves onto this mirror on here be careful that they're not gonna run the red But they should stop for you look for space, but you can get it done It's possible too soon saying there was no problems in the cold weather. It's always something Still a good day. I mean trucks running. So I have warmth. I have heat even if it wasn't I could go into my receiver where I'm at right now and They said I could stay warm in there my trucks running the air compressors running There's just one of the relays along the way is probably frozen And I can't seem to get it unfrozen. That's my best guess. I'm not a mechanic That's just something a valve is stuck I think the air compressors running, but I'm not building air pressure That means I'm losing air somewhere, but I can't hear it because there's no air pressure There's not of not enough air pressure to create a hiss for me to figure out where it's leaking out of turn The truck off and if I turn the truck off the air compressor turns off And then it's quiet, but it's also not leaking any air because it's not pumping any air into the system Blame me. I've tried everything get it get to start working. That's just Nothing so the tow trucks on the way And he should be here anytime. He said two hour within two hours and that was 45 minutes ago So he's gonna pull me back out of here I don't know how he's gonna do it like if he's able to drop the trailer here and another driver can come Recover it that might be a better option That's not my decision to make at this point I right now I'm just waiting with the truck for the guy to get here and I don't know what the protocol is nowadays and you know This new world pandemic thingy. Am I allowed to ride back in the tow truck with the tow truck driver? Or do I need to get a ride back? I mean I got guys that are gonna Someone either at the yard or there's another driver that's in the area here who just called me like they'll come Pick me up if I need to if I need to ride back. I don't know are we allowed to ride in tow trucks? Nowadays the rules keep changing. So guess we'll find out. It's an interesting day. Anyway, sort of messed up our plans I was supposed to go up to too long to load Obviously, I'm not gonna be getting up there They're trying to scramble and figure out another plan get someone else up there in my place to get that loaded Supposed to go to New York and needs to get loaded today. I was supposed to be there by noon 50 minutes If I left here right now, I'd be on time So this is where I'm stuck Now these are my air tanks here. You can hear that Ticking sound that's my air compressor shooting air into here Hold underneath. They're trying to figure out where the air is going out Try to thaw it out everything I could Maybe it's not frozen. Maybe it's some other issue well Stuff happens and like I always say if something's gonna break it's gonna break on the colder days Today's a colder day This is the thing though. See I nosed into that spot there right into the corner because I was gonna back in here And then turn around to go out now. I'm nosed in there And I'm supposed to get towed out so He's probably gonna what hook on to my trailer. I'm guessing and then pull my trailer Over here and with my truck so that he can get in front of my truck and then maybe we'll drop the trailer Over here so that another driver can come recover it And then he'll hook on to the truck Ah, it's warmed up a bit. It's not minus 22 anymore at least Someone should tell my truck that it's not so cold anymore. It can stop acting up It's a little bit of a tight space to get into But at least I'm not in anybody's way, right? I broke down right here. I'm not on the road. This could have happened on the road And I'd be stuck blocking traffic People honking at me all afternoon. That'd be great The only vehicle I'm sort of close to is that little white car there and he can get out So I'm not in anybody's way. It could be a lot worse. We'll figure it out. We'll fix the situation Bring it into the shop and figure out what's going on Well, let's remind ourselves that this is trucking so nothing ever goes as planned. There's been another turn of events Oh Toeing company said they'd be here in under two hours, so I waited almost four hours Three a little over may three and a half something that For three hours. I got a little bit impatient. I called I said, hey I just wonder if I get an ETA where this tow truck is is he close by I figured he'd be like pulling in right when I called and Whatever I called them and they Scrambled around asking like they put me on hold Said that they had to figure out what was going on I don't know what that meant but Got back on the phone to me and they said that they can't get a driver over here right now And they don't know when they can get a driver here So the tow trucks not coming they didn't have a truck to bring you and they said that they might not even be able to get to me today They can't give me an ETA. They have no idea. No idea when they can get a guy here And this isn't your regular tow truck either. This is a big rig tow truck. Remember that So there's not as many of them. So sometimes the weight is long. This isn't out of the ordinary It's just hey, you told me under two hours and now you're telling me it might be tomorrow. I Don't know how that could happen, but something, you know They're in trucking to things must have changed Maybe they had an emergency to go out to that took precedence over this because I'm not really blocking anything in I have no idea what happened, but they're not coming for a while and they can't tell me when so I called my shop And told them what's going on. So my shop is calling their shop and they're gonna figure it out And then my shop's gonna call me back. I don't know they said I could leave the keys with the truck And then they'll just get to it when they can and bring it back to our yard If that's okay with my shop by I mean, I don't care. It's their truck. That's what you want me to do I'll leave the keys here or maybe with the business here. So it's like I'm not I'm not gonna leave it in the truck But no, whatever I'll leave the key somewhere where they can get it And then they can tow it back From here and I'll just get a ride back to our yard. I guess I don't know something new 15 years driving truck is something new. I don't know you don't break down every day broken down before but I do know that when You call a big rig tow truck It can be kind of complicated for them to get to you because there's only so many big rig tow trucks And there's a lot of big trucks out there as wintertime a lot of trucks are breaking down Trucks are probably in the ditch. They probably got a lot of work themselves. They're probably very busy. So I don't blame them whatever So now I'm sitting here to find out what I do now. Do I just leave the truck? Are they gonna come get me to bring me backwards gonna leave the truck here? I mean, I am out of the way I'm not blocking anybody in but I'm also not really parked conveniently out of the way. I'm kind of in the middle of I'm actually a little warm had to roll the windows down At least I'm not cold And like I said, I've done everything I can do as the driver I Can't find out where this air is going to their compressor still running. I can't figure out where it's going to And I'm not a mechanic. I'm not a licensed mechanic. So when I get under there I don't want to start changing things and messing with things and make things worse I don't know. I'm gonna think of myself. Is there something I can do? Should I be doing more? What if it turns out to be something really simple right that I could have easily fixed that I just missed Most of those simple things I've dealt with before and I've checked all of them now and I Can't figure it out So I'm gonna feel bad if it was something really really simple, but I just I just don't think it is I think it's gonna have to go to the shop and get some real work done to it. Don't know I'm moving The first towing company we called Isn't coming. They said they'd be here and then suddenly they said they can't be here. Something must have come up Called another towing company. They said they should be here soon I hope they come Getting kind of bored At least I'm warm and making some snow angels or something, but then I wouldn't be warm anymore What's going on? I've been here all day. I've been here for about five hours six hours now Still not building any air pressure. I Crawled underneath there the best I could to find out where the air was going Couldn't couldn't figure it out tried to find what relay might be frozen Everything seems to be good digging and just it's Obviously it's not but they're gonna tow the whole unit the whole thing back and Pull it into the shop and let them figure it out, and I guess I'll get a different truck to drive tomorrow But this has been my day today. I really hope they come soon. I'd like to get out of here It's gonna start getting colder again soon We only got about two more hours of daylight And then once everything starts closing down around here, there won't be any buildings to go into either We'll figure something out tow truck guys here finally Actually, this company we called and they were here in like 20 minutes should have called them in the first place way better Charge my air tank so that I could turn the truck around myself and get it pointed out the exit You're gonna tow the whole thing just like this There we go At least I get to get out of here now These guys came really quick definitely should have called them first Well, what can I say it was a bit of a boring day? But we got towed back to the yard here Not too sure what's going on with the truck I'm betting though that it has something to do with the cold weather it happens Things break in the cold. That's one thing I've always said, you know If something's gonna break it's gonna break on the coldest day as that's when everything doesn't want to move No, nothing wants to be working on these cold days, but we have to keep working Sometimes the equipment doesn't agree with us when we say that but we have to keep working So the trucks going into the shop tomorrow. They're gonna figure it all out first of all They're gonna thought out figure out where this leak is and Then fix it so tomorrow I'm gonna be in 2025 the other day cab We guys have been watching over the summer you've seen it before same truck as mine Just doesn't turn a sharp and a little bit of an older style interior It's a good truck that has a beast of a cat engine in it though So that'll be fun. So hopefully we don't have any problems with that tomorrow Because I got to be in two alone first thing in the morning tomorrow and Get this loaded up. I think what two loads tomorrow So cross our fingers and let's hope for better luck tomorrow. It was still a good day It's still a good every day. Here's a good day. I'm always having fun I love trucking and you know these these kind of days are a part of it 3010 I'll explain more tomorrow. I'm gonna be friends the next couple of days So It's a bigger problem than we thought I figured it had to be more than just the Just the air air pressure. I'm not too sure what it is, but the shop looked at it There was no coolant leaking there But for some reason once I got towed back here all the coolant Ran out of it drained out of it leaked out of it. I don't know. I'm just hearing what they were telling me now That happened once it got back here. So that wasn't an issue there. I don't I Don't really know what's going on with these old trucks But we're gonna keep fixing them. All right. We're they're not junk. They're good trucks I still like the older trucks, you know For exactly this reason You can fix them and they will keep going the things got almost two million kilometers on it already. It's got how many How many miles is that? Go go. How many miles is two million kilometers? Two million kilometers is one point two four three times ten to the six miles Why can't you just speak normal? What is that one point two to the six? What? What she meant to say is it's one million two hundred and forty two thousand seven hundred and forty two point three eight miles That was a weird way of saying that You don't got to act all smart Google just because you know everything you got to flaunt it So yeah, it's got one point two million miles on it and it's still going strong so Still going strong as we get towed back to the yard Sometimes I say things But what I mean is and they can fix it whatever whatever's wrong with it They'll get it fixed and it's still going to be going strong after this. All right Still good to go. You can eat the new trucks nowadays are so expensive and they got more issues You got all these electronics in there now You got DEF in there all these emission things that go wrong all the time these old trucks It's you put straight diesel fuel in there and go and they're much simpler to fix they come from a simpler time of trucking Yeah, they'll fix it up. It was a It's gonna be more than just the air issue now though, so we'll see what happens I'm gonna be in 3010 for a couple of days now and I'll let I'll let the shop do their thing. They're good at what they do. They'll figure it out But thanks for watching today everybody. It was kind of just a boring day just sitting around But thanks for sitting through it with me. At least I wasn't alone. I'll talk to you tomorrow
