 How's it going everybody? Today's topic of discussion comes from CDLlife.com. Transportation Nation didn't have any new news articles to discuss today, so I found a good one over here on CDLlife. I want to know what you guys think about it. It has to do with the driver blitz that happened, that actually took place in July. July 11th to 17th of this year, 2021. They just got their data back about a week ago about how it went. And I want to know what do you think? They did a driver blitz on not just commercial vehicles, they did it on personal vehicles as well. Who do you think got more citations? Was it the commercial drivers or the personal vehicles, the four wheelers as we call them? The sun has graciously decided to join us again this morning. It's very nice to see it again. How's it going you ball of fire? If you could stay out of my eyes, that'd be great. It's not going to listen. I'm excited to see the sun. It's good. Another day, the earth is still turning. It's good. It's good. It's very good. All right, there's air in the tires. We've got this 53-foot rental roll tight today, a flat. We're going to Tulon to pick up some stuff that's going to California. I'm just out here. Oh, I got to spike the brakes yet. Check the brake lights. Sometimes I forget. No, I got to go around the trailer twice. You never want to have to do a job twice that you could do once. Same thing with moving stuff around, right? You don't want to move stuff twice if you don't have to, but I'm just going to splash between here. All right, you think these trailers got some good air in them? I mean, you can tell if they're good by the way they are. Nothing is locked. Good, good, good. Signal light under here working. Fantastic. That's awesome. It's going to be a good day. It is. You feel it? And look, I even shined up what I could on the truck yesterday. So we got a nice clean truck. I polished everything, cleaned and polished it. I know it's still old. Don't worry. It won't be old forever. I have a feeling that that rust will be gone by next summer. I just have that feeling. But it's shining. So what can shine is shining, thanks to our good friends at Bolstnaut. The best cleaning products. Look at that. You can see yourself right in there. Beautiful. Beautiful. But before we go trucking, remember we got to check those brake lights. Got to check those brake lights. So I hooked my handy dandy brake check, brake light checker thing onto my brakes here from my trailer. Make sure it holds. You hook that down onto this fire extinguisher because that's what it's designed for. If you didn't know, now you know. And you walk all the way back to the back here for the second time. You want to try to do this only once. Try to know. You know me. Do it twice. And there's our brake lights. I've turned off our hazards already. Brake lights are working. Just find three center lights working. License plate light working. Okay. Now we're ready to rock and roll. Too long awaits us. Look at these clean windows. Look at this. Bolstnaut. Did you call it? They're good. They're good products. They work. I'm on the way up. Too long got the roll tight behind me. It takes about an hour to get there. We're going north right now. We're going to go around the east side of Winnipeg and go up highway seven if you're familiar with the area. And I think we're picking up four pieces. Four big pieces. It'll take up about probably 42 or 40 some feet of the trailer. Most of the trailer. And there's two deliveries. There's two calls on it. I think one's going to Santa Fe, California. And the other one is going to somewhere along the way possibly Arizona or Nevada. I think I'll have to double check that for you when we stop. It's in my computer here. It's going to be a good day though. We've had a absolutely fantastic fall or autumn season here in Manitoba. The last week we've had a very strong wind coming out of the south, coming from the US. And it's been bringing up that warm American air probably all the way from the Gulf of Mexico. So it's been windy, yes, but that's okay because it's been a warm wind. It's still not fun strapping down a load in the wind. But we're thankful for our American friends sharing their warm weather with us. Don't worry, we will return the favor winter is coming. And we will share some of our winter weather with you in return. So we get a little bit of American, you get a little bit of Canadian, it's a give give relationship, you know, we'll make sure we got a good polar vortex worked up for you this year. You deserve it. All of this sharing you've been doing with us, we have to return the favor. We're working with today, one big crate, one smaller one, two over here, two over there. They could quite fit side by side, I guess. There's not a 12 feet going on the back there yet. I'm about 14 feet left. It's gonna be a full trailer. And this is all going to Durham, North Carolina. You got incoming. He's got a nice truck too. Look at this thing. It's a beautiful camera truck yet. I don't know if they will train me if they need me to be trained on it. I'd always be willing, of course, they're gonna hold it up now goes in there and lift them up like that and lift up to another long day. But a fun day, not complaining. Long day. We'll be back here again to do it again tomorrow. Lots of work to be done. You guys want to work here? We need help. We need drivers. Pretty sure we're looking for another city driver. That's what I do. Looking for long haul, open deck, van division, keystone, or dark hole. Same company. Well, legally different companies, but run out of the same office. Dark hole is a division of Keystone Western. Keystone Western, I believe, bought dark hole, but they're running out of the same same office here right now. Oh, I don't think this gate's gonna open for me at this time. Oh, yes, it's racing. Trucker Josh, you're going home too late. Trucker Josh, you gotta go around. That gate gets locked at a certain time. I haven't discovered which time exactly. Sometime around. Sometime, sometime. I don't know. Gotta go around to the front gate. Right, we didn't forget to follow up. On the beginning of the vlog, when we asked you the question, who do you think got more infractions and more citations or more tickets? Four-wheelers or 18-wheelers? Did you guess four-wheelers? According to the article I'm looking at here, US officers pulled over 23,871 commercial motor vehicles and 9,366 passenger vehicles during this week-long event. Sorry, the article just jumped away on me. They're trying to sell me with ads. Don't worry, I do the same thing. I understand. So a total of 4,420 warnings and 3,158 citations were issued to commercial motor vehicle drivers in the US. And 4,018 warnings and 9,106 citations were issued to passenger vehicles. Three times as many four-wheelers were issued citations as commercial vehicles. So you really gotta wonder why they target us truckers so much when it comes to safety on the road, right? I shouldn't say it like that. Safety is very important. It's important to all of us. We're commercial drivers. We're professional drivers. So of course it's important to us. But they seem to be targeting the wrong group of drivers because it seems, I'm just going by the data here, okay? And what do they say? What do they say about facts? Um, apparently four-wheelers are three times more likely to get a citation. So I guess we know where we need to focus our future energy towards. I don't know. Just a thought from a trucker. You can just, you can throw my thoughts in the garbage or maybe you could get off our backs a little bit because we're not the ones causing all the problems. Anyway, I thought you guys would get a kick out of that. Sorry to leave you hanging right to the end of the vlog. I meant to discuss this in the middle of the day and I forgot, but don't worry. I got you. Four-wheelers, three times more citations than the 18-wheelers. So it's settled. We're not the problem. Thanks for watching today guys. I hope you got a kick out of that. Tune in tomorrow. If you haven't already hit that subscribe button, you know the drill, share it with your friends. YouTube doesn't always recommend my videos like they used to. I don't know. I don't know how the algorithm works anymore. They change it every day it seems, but if you want to help me out, best way to do that is to share it on your Facebook, your Twitter, your Instagram. If you're on TikTok, talk on TikTok about this weird trucker Josh guy that's on, you know, the old school YouTube. We're still over here making videos. I have a TikTok as well. I just don't make as much content there because I'm a YouTuber. I'm not a tech talker. Maybe one day. I don't know. Maybe I'm too old for that. I don't know. Please subscribe here, hit the like button if you did like the video, helps me out a lot, and leave me a comment down below. That I know helps the algorithm when there's lots of comments. All right. If you watched right to the end, just leave a comment that says algorithm. Okay. I'm not only testing your ability to spell algorithm correctly, I'm also testing to see whether or not you watched right to the very end. Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
