 Hello everybody Getting a late start on today. I Went home to get a few things done last night and over the day today So now I'm going back to the truck. I have a load that's going to Langbank Saskatchewan Which is about five six hours from here. I'm probably with six hours The load's waiting for us at our yard or waiting for me us by us I mean me and you because you're gonna help me tie it down, right? I think I've got to tie it down when I get there And we'll go to Saskatchewan will deliver that first thing in the morning tomorrow and from there I'll come back empty and we have a load of lumber that's going to be waiting for us That's taking us to Minneapolis and we'll go straight to Minneapolis deliver that Friday morning Today when I'm filming this it's a Wednesday, I believe So Wednesday, yes, it's a Wednesday Now all the days seem the same to me. They all run together My wife was driving the truck the mirrors off the seat is off Let's get to old blue and let's get trucking They're all changing color and falling That's why we call this season fall because the leaves fall down At least that's what I think Technically, I guess it's considered autumn, right? It is autumn. I don't know why we call it fall We like to keep things simple Like I was saying so Langbank is about six hours from here Well, there's six hours tonight unload first thing tomorrow morning, which will be a Thursday morning Run on back here I'll be back Thursday evening the load's already waiting for me at the yard or will be waiting for me when I get there I'll clear it at the border and everything so I'll grab that load We'll get into the United States tomorrow. Maybe we'll get down to around Fargo. Maybe Roth say Minnesota Either down I-29 or I-94. We'll see where we get to and then That'll be Thursday nights of Friday. Oh boy. I'm gonna have to rush actually Hopefully we'll get past Roth say maybe we'll get down closer to Clearwater or Sock Center We'll get up early and we'll get into Minneapolis get that lumber off my trailer We'll see if there's a reload for me to grab Friday afternoon Hopefully if not, I will have to come back empty because we got things going on the next day on Saturday here at home that I have to be here for so Either way I've got to get back home Friday night or Saturday early morning. We'll make it work. The load gods are good They will We'll figure something out And if not, hey, whatever I got to get back. I'll come back empty Every time if I've whenever I shut it off for night every day I want to check my oil and I want to check my coolant level and I want to make sure everything else is good under my hood Make sure I'm not leaking any oil. Let's Everything I want to look for and make sure obviously that my brakes are adjusted properly and that's all the obvious stuff My fluids very important. I'll go crazy all day if I didn't check my oil at the beginning of the day Even though I can see my oil pressure, which will tell me that my oil is fine But I have to see it with my own eyes. I have to see it with my own eyes Too close to the door this time levels right at the top It was just a piece of dirt scared me I thought there's a little Drop of oil on there. I Saw it from down here See that right there That's just a piece of dirt All good No oil leaks have my trailer. I don't know if it's tied down or not I have a feeling is not going to be tied down because it usually never is Because whoever delivered it there will need their equipment and they're gonna want me to tie it down myself Because I'm gonna be responsible for that load as soon as I hook on to it and pull it out of the yard I do like to tie my own loads down usually sometimes It's a nice surprise when it's been left tied down That's usually for when like our city drivers go and pick up a load for us in Winnipeg Bring it back to our yard for us just to save me a little time if it's like a time sensitive load Then I can just quickly go hook on at the yard Fly down the road after I double check all the straps, right? saves a lot of time but If time isn't that big of an issue everybody Sort of prefers to tie down their own freight. I guess depends on the driver I'm sure I'm sure there's some drivers out there who don't care who ties it down as long as it's not them, right? Me I Don't know. I just I'd like to I like to roll down the highway knowing that it's my own work Not that I don't trust other people, but you know if something goes wrong. It's my fault then right? No, I don't know if it's tied down. That's awesome. I don't really care You just double check it and you know make sure everything's good. So we'll be out for two nights One night we'll spend in Saskatchewan tonight, and then tomorrow night. We'll probably yeah, we'll be in Minnesota somewhere Somewhere between Moorhead, Minnesota and Minneapolis somewhere down the I-94. Oh, mr. Dodge man does not want to be behind the truck Come on man a hammy a hammy belongs at the front, right? I'm not a dodge fan, but I'm not against them either. I mean, I'm just I'm a GM guy. I like GMC's And Sheppie's I used to be oh boy that guy got cut off up there. Wow Holy smokes man that white car You just about died you have a passenger Why? Why why do people do that? See that crazy about what I was talking about now. I just almost watched someone die And they probably don't even know it. They're probably just gonna go home and laugh about it whenever Yeah, I got what I was talking about now. I guess it wasn't important dodges right? Yeah, there's a dodge over there GM I'm a big I have a Chevy Silverado right at the 2016 Used to be huge. I still am huge Chevy Silverado fan But with this last model that they've released I have actually moved over to GMC I know same truck same chassis, but the design I like the design of the GMC Sierra right now in 2023 Better than the 2023 Chevy Silverado and that's a first in my life If I bought a new truck today, it would be a GMC Sierra Probably I'd probably try to go for the 2500 heavy-duty Just because we want to expand our rental business in summers for Campers and eventually we want to have a fifth wheel right and I'm gonna have to be able to pull that fifth wheel We want to be able to use that for ourselves as well. Once we get a spot at the lake somewhere, right? So That's the plan anyway Now I'll talk to you when we get to the trailer and see what our load looks like. We're going to Langbank. I'm thinking it's I'm thinking 90% chance. It's tires which are super easy to tie down But we'll see how correct I am when we get there Sometimes even trucker Josh is wrong. I did say 90% chance. It would be tires 90% That's not a hundred. I Don't know what it is The paperwork says something. I still don't know what it is This is what we're hauling looks pretty easy to tie down simple with some skids down here Some other stuff up here other stuff up here. This load came from Winkler, Manitoba, and I'm gonna pull it to Langbank a little down the road not tires Definitely these are some funny-looking tires. All right, so apparently we deliver Something others than tires there sometimes every time I've gone there. It's been tires in my defense All right, we are locked. We are loaded. We are tied down. We are strapped. We are ready to go It's undo the belt It's very uncomfortable sitting with the belt Just saying Okay Rock and roll rock and roll got my house hat right here with me Got my bullsnot Right here with me windows rolled down I'm just gonna give a little tuggy tug make sure that the trailer is gonna come with when I checked it Sure looked like it was going to you. It's it's also gonna help if I release the brakes first Let's turn on the lights back there so I can see They're all forward and hit the brakes Breaks work trailer is attached and the brakes release Fantastical Let's get out of here Took a little longer, and I thought it's already dark outside, but then again, it's fall now autumn So the Sun goes down faster than we want it to a new Western Star I've got a new driver with a Western Star. It's a nice truck. I wonder who that's gonna be Doesn't have the name on the door yet A lot of new drivers coming on every time I come back here. I see new trucks in the yard I hope they're sticking around Open sesame is it sesame is it open sesame or is it open says me? Open says me or open sesame. It's sesame, right? Isn't it? I'm on Today Jude, come on. Let's go. I Got places to be Running much further behind than I wanted to already Like usual. We're still on time. I Always set big goals for myself like I am gonna get going at this time. We'll be there super early And then all these delays happen, then I end up being just a little bit early or God forbid just right on time. I don't want to be late though sometimes Circumstances out of our control cause us to be late And that is not very nice Nobody coming except for me rock and roll We'll make some money Seems as life goes on. We need more and more of that money to get less and less Are stopping at Timmy's there's no way I'm starting a trip with us We're in oak bluff Manitoba on the west side of Winnipeg Still got a long way to go. So we're gonna need some energy Sus look at all those bugs in my window. Yikes Let's stop and no, let's go wake those off over here. How about that? Parking on the side here so I'm not actually Didn't have any fluid in there. They just had to squeegee. There is no water or washer fluid or nothing in there So I couldn't watch my windshield. Oh, well Let's hope they got coffee Thank the good Lord They had Tim Horns because they didn't have Tim Horns. I mean It was about to go down stuff would have gone down So let's head into the night. Let's drive to Langbank. We'll be getting there pretty late I have to stop for my 10 consecutive hours so that I'm legal to cross back into the United States tomorrow Which means I'll be delivering Late morning back here in the afternoon We'll see how far we get but it was Thursday. So that means I may not have a reload on Friday because I might not have time We'll see what happens If I only deliver Friday afternoon There may not be time to go pick up a load yet and I have to be back for Saturday So in that case, I just have to come back empty, which is is what it is, but I'd rather have something on the trailer Possible Let's go to Saskatchewan Long-gone Saskatchewan. That's a good song. You guys should look it up long gone to Saskatchewan Whitewood Saskatchewan just about at our destination didn't take too long Continue on this road for 30 kilometers So that's a wrap on another good day Got a lot done at home got to the truck got a lot done in the truck Now we wait for the morning. We unload in the morning as soon as we can and Then rush back to grab our other load and then rush down to Minneapolis And then unload that and we'll see if I got a reload or not But whether I have a reload or not, we're gonna rush back home a lot of Russian hurry up and hopefully not wait Let's see what happens Tune in tomorrow for another vlog.
