 And look, my window rolls down today. Bonus. Yesterday it was frozen shut. Every good day starts with Timmy's. How's that meant to get a fit? Could I have a sausage farmer's wrap and a hash brown, and a medium coffee with one cream please? Yeah, so I can get a few today? That's it. Sounds good, just sausage farmer wrap meal. We'll be 750 at the window please. Super duper. Thank you very much for the Tim card that was sent to us. By one of our friends out west has been received and it is being used in a super duper way for a super duper coffee. Got a Tim card here. Thank you very much, lighter gator. Seven years old, I know. So let's go drive some big trucks, shall we? Now make sure all the lights are working. It's always a bonus. Make sure the tires are filled with air. Good air, good quality air. The lights in the back are working. That's good, that's good. Everything's good. And always remember to change the air in your tires to winter air. Head on over to your local body shop. Bring them your vehicle and tell them you'd like to replace the air in your tires for winter air. Trucker Josh sent you. And then let me know what they say. We're on the west side of Winnipeg there. Looks two trips going in. First one, I gotta pick up some kind of product or something, or something else. So drive those trucks. I run for Trucker Josh. That's where I got my class one license. It was an interesting fun, but it was an interesting job. Long before the Trucker Josh belly appeared, we've made it to our first shipper. And it's one of these wonderful shippers that have big signs pointing you to the shipping office. Big signs, shipping office, that way. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Sometimes you go to a shippers and you've, oh no, that looks like a shipping office. That looks like a shipping office. Let's go over here. No, it's over there? Okay, so you go over there. No, it's not here, it's over there. Oh, it's over there. You don't know where the shipping office is and you waste all this time running around and looking for them. Most of them are labeled pretty well, but this one just had like big ginormous signs pointing me in the right direction. And it's a new building too, so I didn't know. It's in the front, backside. Thank you. If you put those signs up, the truck driver's really appreciated. It's early. Sometimes I just like a big arrow to point me in the right direction. It just makes my life easier. Shall we go take a look? Let's see what they put in the box. No idea what it is. Let's see. There shouldn't be the whole thing. Would you look at that. It's a little over half of the trailer. 26, like I said yesterday, 26 and a half feet is half the trailer. So I'm going to say I got probably 20 feet available. More maybe. About 25 feet, half the trailer. I'm going to say about 23 feet. Right in the middle. How about that? You want to hook in? There we go. I'll hook in, ready to rock. So this stuff's actually going to Blumenort close to Steinbeck. I'm pretty sure they're going to want me to put something else in there yet too. So I'll have to radio in. Off to Oak Bluff we go. That's on the west side of the city as well. Just a little further south down the perimeter. They got a few pieces there and then we'll deliver this trailer. And then it's not just the highway all day. It's getting in and out of the truck, talking to people. Get in a truck, give me some diesel fuel. And I'm a happy man. I'm pretty easy to please. Bring my shades. I don't know if I got one for the pickup and I got one for work. Actually, no, I have that pair in Brits, well, in the drain. Yesterday, it's nice having this two-way radio in here. It's just like a CB without all of the morons on there that are on a regular CB. It's just the people you want to talk to on here. I love it. Another stop sign, successful stop. Next pickup, not that far at all. They don't like me either. They're always staring at me, judging me. Wasting my time. Look at them over there. Look at them, just judging me. They don't think I'm worthy to move. They don't think I'm important enough. It's coffee time. Passed by the flying hook, they'll stop it for a bean to cup. I've missed that. I mean, Timmy's is good. Better actually, but I haven't had very many of their bean to cup coffees lately. And the one I had yesterday was refreshing to say the least. All I did was pick up two pallets here. But off to Bloomin' Schnark we go. Bring those two pallets there, and then I got another one in. Another one in Bloomin'. Actually, the whole trail is going to Bloomin' or just two different places. And they're sending me back into what I got for that. 21st, have you heard of that? The Christmas Star is 15 kilometers from, because I spent my childhood. You can't call me lazy today. That first pickup I did, they loaded it all onto the floor. That's why it took so long. I had to hand-bomb it or tailgate it all to the back here, one piece at a time. And there was like 14, 28, there. Five, 50 pieces. Big head piece, drags all to the back. Got my workout in today, that's for sure. So I got to radio in now and see what they got for me next. I think they want to send me back into Winnipeg. Check this out. Just saw a pilot vehicle comes through here. Gonna be fun to drive that dump truck. Now all I gotta do is wash my windows so I can actually see. We're about to turn onto Dougal's Road here. Or as my GPS calls it, juggled, juggled road. Whole load to pick up. Going down to Landmark. Supposed to be a full load on this one. Now what's the time now? The time is two o'clock. About time to get loaded, probably 2.30. Down to Landmark for 3.15-ish, 3.315-ish, 3.30. I should make it, it shouldn't be a problem. I seriously just waited. What felt like 10 minutes for a green light. The green light, the turning arrow, stayed on for exactly three blinks. And then went yellow and red. One pickup truck made it through. Intersection of Dougal and Lajomotia. Any of you guys traveling in this local area, notice that? It's the second time I've seen it. It'll barely give me enough time to get going here. I gotta be ready, put her in gear. As soon as I light, no, I'm gonna have to wait a while now because they have to go, they have to go. Now these guys got the green light beside me and then they'll get the red light and then the green light will turn on for all the people going across the street now and then my green light will turn on for exactly three blinks and then turn yellow. That's gotta be a glitch. That can't be serious about that. This is a major intersection where a lot of trucks make a corner. Yeah, this is a major like industrial part of the city. Then your destination will be on the left. There's a lot of trucks moving around. I'm just surprised that they haven't fixed that light yet because I noticed that there like months ago already that it's very hard to get through that intersection. But oh, we made it. We made it. Just gotta be ready to go. Trucking gear, ready to give her. I'm just passing by Jade. Jade transport right now is where my buddy works. I got some nice trucks there. Your destination is on the left. Well, that was fun backing across the street. This is some random industrial road going through the industrial zone here. But apparently it's very busy. I think they need another one. But we made it. Let's hear our tracks there. Let's go get ourselves loaded and let's head to Landmark. City traffic. Oh, the choice. I don't really mind it that much. Except when stuff like this happens. What's going on? Oh, someone up there is trying to change lanes. And it seems that the other people have no idea what they're trying to do. That's what the signal, he did have his signals on. See, even when you do use your signals, no one knows what you're trying to do. No one seems to know what the blinky lights are for anyway. I wonder if that's why they called the town Landmark because it's right in the middle of the country. It's a Landmark town. They got a good hockey team there. At least they did back in the day. I played nine years there, I think? What was it, nine years altogether that I played? I was a many seasons that I played hockey there, minor hockey. Oh man, the best memories. We had a good team too. I think I've told you about this before, right? For a few years there, for a few years. And my mouth isn't working. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time is now 3.20. I'm going straight to Landmark. I guess I'll be there to bow quarter to four, closer to four. I'll be right at the end of their day. After that, I'm assuming the day is probably over. But who knows? Maybe they'll have some late day deliveries to be made. Probably not because pretty much everyone who works in shipping or receiving usually goes home between like four o'clock and six o'clock. And then there's those lucky shippers and receivers who get to go home at like one o'clock in the afternoon. Everybody loves those ones. Now if you gotta make a delivery after lunch, sorry, sorry, they went home already. I haven't run into any shippers like that here yet doing this, but I sure did run into them on the road. I like you bust your butt to get there. You get there at like 1.30 in the afternoon and nobody's there. And you look at the sign and oh, they've gone home for the weekend already. Must be nice. I did see that. You guys didn't notice we're in a stick shift now. I still got it. The update in the practice I get in these trucks here because I'm going for a, I've gotta be able to pass their road test in a manual transmission truck, which makes sense, right? So I get to brush up on it a little bit here and sort of boost my confidence a little bit and let myself know I still got it. I shouldn't have to worry about next week. Nice and straight. They're unloading me right now. This trailer's got these fancy drop steps that you can use to get into the trailer easier, but somebody bent it wasn't me. Not that this was a tight spot to get into at all. We've got a huge yard and I was the only one here and I got here a quarter to four and they're shipping and receiving closes at four. And believe me, the look I got when I walked in there and told them I had a whole load for them said it all. They closed in 15 minutes. Weren't the happiest to see me, but it is what it is. Got here as fast as I could. All right, let's get out here, put some fuel in there. We're losing Baylight hours here and trailer's now empty, which means we've got to make sure the tanks are full and head on back. Bitty, bitty tanks. Bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty. Oh, is he so thirsty? So thirsty. It's been a good day though. Been a good day, sand, no sleeper. Really enjoyed myself. I like this buzzing around. It's been a sense of purpose, you know, like I have a something to do, something to reason for living. A little bit dramatic, but I love trucks. So what I found is that, though I don't necessarily need to drive because I have other income streams, I want to. And by that, I found that I need something to do every day. I need a task. I'm very busy minded, a busy body, whatever you want to call it, I always have to have something to do. I have to have a purpose, you know? It's good to have structure in your life. If there's no structure, it's sort of like you're almost in limbo wondering, well, what am I supposed to be doing? Because we all have this inside of us. We all know we have a purpose that we're supposed to be doing something and contributing, right? With being home and working from home, I found that, I guess, really bothered me. I want to have somewhere to be. I want to go out and physically accomplish something, like in this case, bringing stuff from here that someone needs over there. Being a part of that process and helping somebody out, it really, like, I mean, you can make enough money and have great careers from home, but it's also nice to get out of the house and do something out of the house because if you're constantly cooped up in the house, it becomes repetitive. It's also very hard to find new things for content every day when you're just at home. Speaking of home, let's go see what's for supper. I'm excited. This could be from like so many years, it was nine, I was 10 years of over the road, right? I was always on the go, on the go, on the go. So I always feel like I should be moving and when I'm not moving, I feel like I'm being unproductive, even if I am being productive. I want to be moving, even if it is just shorter moving, right? Not as long as I need to be going out doing something different every day. I could never do a desk job, never. Not as if I was forced to, but I wouldn't like it. I like to change it up every day and see new scenery every day and have different tasks to do every day. So that is not repetitive, right? You got structure, I think repetitive. Does that make sense? Point is, I think I'm gonna be much happier now. Another day done, another day I get to go home. What a great feeling. You know, I don't think I'll ever get tired of this. Really good guys, where I'm working at right now too. I like it, I enjoyed myself. The last two days, had a lot of fun. Easy going guys. Not the kind of people that breathe down your neck all day, give you something to do. You go do it, everybody's happy, right? I like it, you know? I am gonna go for this, check out this other full-time position that I'm going for a road test for next week, but. You know, if I didn't have that opportunity in front of me, I'd probably be begging these guys for a full-time position there. I like it there. I wouldn't mind staying there, but you know, I have this other opportunity that's, I think is a little bit, well, it's a good fit for me. And I'm gonna go check it out, see if they like me. I mean, I'm a pretty quiet, easy-going guy, so it takes me a little while to warm up to people, especially the people I haven't met before. You know, I usually, like I've said before in past videos, I sit and watch. I'll watch people, get to know their personality a little bit, and then I'll go engage in conversation and I sort of know, feel like I know who I'm talking to a little bit more than, but that's just me. Everybody's different. My wife is totally different. She is a social bug, loves to talk in a good way. She makes friends everywhere she goes. I have more friends now because of her, because as they say, you know, my wife has many friends, and her friends have husbands. Therefore, I have many friends. She's way better at socializing than me. I'll just quietly do my job, I'll do my work, the best I can, and then I'll go home. Usually, right? That's one of the things, I guess, that one of the reasons I married her, too, is she's, her and her dad both have this ability. They can make you feel like you're the center of the world while they're talking to you. They're very good at focusing in on what you're saying, what you mean, and have like a great comeback all the time, and a great conversation all the time. There's never dead air. They're just really good social people. It must be a family thing. Her mom is the same way. Hey guys. Jesus. Jesus. I'm excited, I'm getting to go pee. Hi. Hi. Hey guys. Home. It's your daddy home. Did I miss all the excitement again? I tried to pull the camera out faster today. Am I not that exciting? Yeah, you're all right. Yeah. That wiener, that wiener, he excited. He excited of my little wiener. Don't step on him, Chevy. Hey, look at him. I got to protect you from Chevy. No, you're going to go that way? Okay. He's going to go right underneath him. Well, it wasn't, it wasn't a rock star. Did you bring me a toy? Diesel, what did you bring me? What did you bring me? You shocker ball. Wasn't a rock star welcome today, but it was, it was pretty good. It was pretty good. Yeah, I know. I always forget about it things. I'm so excited to see them. Little chev, you want to end the vlog? You want to end it? Should I get diesel to do it? Diesel, diesel. He must be really tired over there. He's a little Frank. Frankie, Frankie, you come end it then. Come on. Come here. Good boy. Can I end the vlog? Well, now diesel comes. Sure, yeah, now that he's jealous. Right? He's just jealous that he's not the commander of the galactic federation now. So I'm saying he's just jealous. Not everyone can be a shapeshifter, Frank. Don't need to show off that guy. I don't believe any of his stories. Thanks for watching today. That would really do appreciate it. Tomorrow's another day. We're going to go deliver some more stuff tomorrow. It's going to be fun. Hope you join us. Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss it. We make a new video every day. See you tomorrow.
