I'm already excited for next Christmas I love Christmas You're gonna have some Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas German Christmas. Is that what that means for all vine nectar? For all vine nectar. We're gonna Google this. There's my phone. I want to know what this says there's a Translate Translate come on Google do your job Okay, enter text fro FROHE in German means happy. Okay, so happy wi No, W E I H N A C H T E N wine Weihnachten It means Christmas. Merry Christmas is what it means That makes sense Merry Christmas, and I guess that you didn't get new year means and a happy new and a good new year good That's as good. Yeah in low German. They would say say a good say a good I know low German that we that the minute I spoke is a little bit different than the German in Germany right now That's because our family lines Left Germany in like the 15 1600s. I think it was the 16th century when we left Germany We took the German German and Dutch with us at the time sort of blended it into our own language And then our people lived in Ukraine for another hundred and fifty two hundred years So there's some Ukrainian mixed in with that there and we took their pierogies there ours now now We have midnight pierogies. Thanks, Ukraine. I love pierogies. That's where you get midnight pierogies from and Took some of that and then you know 18 late 1800s Russia came in and kicked us out. You know, they were all mean about it Not much has changed in the world But yeah, we had to run away from them Because we didn't want to I Guess submit that's a story for a different time. They chased us out Anyways, we imagine like we had these farm lines in southern Ukraine for a hundred and fifty years If you think about it, Canada is a hundred and fifty years old right now So for a hundred and fifty years back then generation after generation after generation lived on that land developed it And that was their home and one day the neighbor walks in and says no This is our home now You become us or you leave And we're like, well, I guess we're leaving So now we're here story for another time story for another time But that's why we have Dutch German and Ukrainian mixed In our culture as Mennonites and then we we moved to Canada Western Canada a bunch of them moved to the US and Here we are today just normal every old everyday old goofy Canadians I don't follow Mennonite culture at all either. That's my heritage both sides of my family were Mennonite So everything all the way back through the whole gene line that that was my whole family line and now and same with Britt most half of her family line The part of her family's Polish as well So There's German and Polish in our household Extremely diverse extremely diverse household. So it's very good very good. Our children will be 1 8th Polish And the rest German But we don't speak German or Polish. We speak English. What a weird world Hey, what a weird world cabin you happen for a long time and you happen seven minutes already I got stuff to do we got motorsports to deliver today They want me to deliver a load of ATV's and they want me to show you how we do it at work So we have two levels. I'll show you once we get there. It's gonna be a lot of fun Thanks for listening to my whole little spiel there See you at the truck I've gotten some new products from bolsternoff to try out. I'm gonna tell you a little bit more about them later Look at the difference between the front of this tank and the front of this tank It's hard to see because this side is not in the sunlight, right? The difference Here's our trailer We have some motorsports in here couple of crates and one side by side that we're gonna drive off I'm gonna show you how we do this today, and I'm gonna make a separate video about this, too So you'll see this the part of it of unloading twice Once here and then once in a separate video, but I'll show you how we do this We have a pretty intricate system of ramps that we can set up since I only have three in here I only have them on the main level so I only have to set up one set of ramps But we can fit up to ten side by side ATVs in here And we put five on the bottom and five on the second level and we have ramps where we drive them right off the back of the Trailer at the dealer. It's pretty neat Looks like we have a slight delay Track cross here. This is doogled road. I thought the tracks ran parallel to the road But apparently they skip over here and then run parallel to the road on that side just for fun Just to keep it interesting, you know I was talking with my friend Martin from Germany He was talking to me about the train He takes in the train the bullet trains in Germany and they get you all around Europe And you know go visit Amsterdam and be back in the evening by train and in Canada We were talking that we don't have a lot of passenger trains. We have a huge network of freight train rails And our trains are miles long Super long But as for getting around the country by train like as a passenger, you know We have via rail which it's sort of like a scenic thing that you would take to as a special trip Most people in Canada if you want to get from one city to the next you drive Or you fly Depending on what your budget is and how much time you have like I flew out to Toronto, Mississauga Because of time I had to get there quick get back quick. That's why we flew otherwise I would have driven to drive there takes two days to fly there takes two hours To take a train there. Who knows? I don't know. I know I could do it There is a train that'll take me there, but it'll probably take weeks. Who knows? Canada's passenger trains are sort of non-existent. They're there, but This is what you'll see North America our countries here were built on rail right but freight rails There they go done my first delivery I had to go down this dirt road well, it's gravel road, but this season it's kind of a mud road We're taking her easy so we don't splash up too much mud that we have to wash off later Less mud we get on the truck the less we have to wash off at the end of the day Gotta wash it every day So I'm looking at my GPS here, right? I'm using my my phone GPS Google since when did Google start telling me where there's stop signs? Like right there. It tells me there's a stop sign coming and then I turn left and then there's another stop sign Just in case you don't see the actual stop sign Google's got your back Google's like hey The stop sign up ahead. I wonder if it tells you when there's roundabouts now Probably not because if it keeps telling me there's a roundabout coming. I'm just gonna throw it right out the window So I'm just parked here on the side of the road And this is where I'm going to be unloading. It's just like sort of a side street Hopefully won't be too much in the way here not much traffic goes past here But I'm gonna be unloading here and you remember a few days ago We unloaded those cars off the flatbed with the ramps It's the same idea except it's out of a van trailer and we get these ramps custom made and we have two floors in our Trailer, however, I've only got one floor down right now So I'm actually gonna use another day to show you when I have a full load double-decker Because I think that would be the most interesting way to show you Otherwise, I'm only showing you half of the process right because I want to show you what it's like Those signals are driving me nuts four ways I want to show you what it's like Delivering a full load So we're gonna line something up in the future and then I can show you how I set up those ramps for the second level and How I set them up for the bottom level how we unload them for now? It's pretty straightforward. We have ramps that are custom-built like I said for our trailer everything's on the bottom level I can drive these machines right off So I set up the ramps on the bottom start the machines and just drive them right out of the trailer right up to the gate Where the customer wants them so we're gonna save it for another time. I apologize I thought that it was a bit of a different scenario today, but I'll show you these ramps that we have in the meantime Just gonna walk on the Shoulder sides that I'm not driving. Oh, and it's mud straight mud right away Maybe I should have walked on the driver's side I was gonna say I was gonna walk along the shoulder because it's safer than walking on the traffic side I'm actually going to Back into their yard after all then I have a smet surface to work with I don't want to get all muddy It changed my mind again. I actually just moved over onto the left side of the road I guess as the back rows are like a back alley type of road This side's not muddy and the ramps are stored on the passenger side of my trailer So when I'm putting away and taking out the ramps I'm on the hard-packed dirt gravel instead of in the mud This should be better here. There's not quite enough room in their yard over there So we make the situation as good as we can. Hey, let's try this again Just got to be careful for traffic And here we go Much better It's all muddy over on the side over there and cars still have plenty enough room to get past if they need to get through here To any of these businesses or anything And there we go like I said earlier I was hoping to be able to show you the whole unloading process And I didn't mean to get you all excited and then let you down now that wasn't my plan But we are planning another day where we can show you how this whole ramp system works You see these two floors here fold down onto all these load bars And then we have our ramp system that's stored along the side here Right there We can put away And there's stands for them that are in the belly box On the other side there All the other equipment is in there these load bars They all stay in here all the way at the front. So I'm gonna quickly put those away Clean them up real nice sweep this trailer out and then head back All of these bars we use all of these for the floor in here And this is not how they're supposed to be stored This trailer is a little different than our usual ones our usual ones have just enough space in here To line up all the bars so they don't do that but these trailers tend to do this I Have a solution for that. Oh looks like someone else uses the same thing You line them up all nice and You wrap the strap around the back back to here, and you tie them all to here. I'll show you in a sec You're gonna put them all away. I'll show you Hey, we got lights up here. That's cool Just one there. How do we turn the lights on? I've never noticed other trailers have lights before that's handy Oh, I bet you this is it They don't work Surprise surprise imagine my shock. Oh, you bet. You know what I bet I bet you have to have the marker lights on first I don't think I have my marker lights on come with me. Let's just try this theory This means we got to get out and back into the trailer an extra time If the lights work, it'll be worth it because then we can go haha And that's that that's it. That's all we can do but it'll be can go haha right Just cleaned up my wheels here while I was waiting to be unloaded. Okay, let's Let's turn these on marker lights. I think it would be on the marker lights, right? Let's try that So what do you guys think place your bets the lights gonna be on now? Are they gonna work now? I'm excited Okay, let me let me climb back up here Okay, I'm gonna Aha They work Can you see that? Holy smokes. It's official See you's worth it It's worth it check it out. There's lights in here. They're not very bright, but brighten off set at night Because this roof isn't fiberglass like a lot of our other ones the sunlight doesn't get through here, so I Mean if you get locked in the trailer at least you got light and you can See while you're locked in here Cool learn something today That was a good moment Lights in the trailer all it needs is a sweep now I don't have his water got in here. There's been some snow on one of the crates, but that's how we pack All the load bars This trailer is a little special Not all of them have this but since there's such a big gap that I was talking to you about before In here we have these on here you strap them there like that and down there So those are strapped against the front wall and then I put these bars in front of it here Just so that when the driver undoes those straps that you can take a couple of these bars off the top one maybe or whatever but When you take those straps off it not all the the bars will fall out on you, right? Got these bars protecting them for then and then our freight can go right up to right up to here and It's very very rare that we actually would have freight that would need that little extra bit of room so it's no problem. We still fit a full load into here and It does add extra weight to the trailer though these ramp systems that we have Like I said, I'm gonna have to show you the whole thing So I'm gonna unload the top here at the ramps going down and we drive them right out off the top, right? The whole ramp system last I heard Adds an extra 1500 pounds to our unit that we have to take off of what we would put on the trailer But for the most part the freight that we haul doesn't matter because we don't haul max weight very often anyways Unless you're hauling like peep malls out of northern New Brunswick or something or you know some steel other things but very often 1500 pounds you don't even whatever and we need that most of our trailers have this system and The wonderful people in the office Want me to display it for you and show you how it works. So we're gonna try to find us a load We're hoping this load would work. Ah didn't work out But then they'll find me another one where I'm using both floors and that will give you a detailed look into how we load these trailers and how we unload them It's pretty fun actually It's not every company gets to say that they deliver stuff like this. That's why we always say you know What if you want to have some fun while you're working? Come work with us We are extraordinary. We do things out of the ordinary, but we do things Amazingly out of the or I don't know what I'm trying to say here It's fun. You'd like it. It's me again Putting this together and uh, yeah one of the many things we specialize in is uh motor sports transport and that's why we have the two levels on the on the trailers and They really want me out in the office. They want me to make a video of how it works How we unload off the top level how we unload off the bottom Uh, we just got to sort of figure out when we're going to do that because I'm also needed around the yard and to perform my regular duties Uh, but this is going to be like a special delivery that I've got to film from start to finish It's going to be for their website And also for you guys here. We're going to show you guys how we uh, how we get these ATVs and snowmobiles and stuff well ATVs in the trailer because you roll them off, right inside by sides how we deliver them And sort of give you an inside look of how we do it sort of uh, try to attract you guys Maybe you guys want to come work for us Uh, I know I bug you guys about that quite a bit, but uh the more I say it, you know Eventually one day there'll be a couple of guys that say, you know what? I want to give it a shot I'm gonna go help them over there keystone and Uh, we'll appreciate the help because we have so much work we We need you We're very busy and uh I'll give you an inside look into what we do as we go along here But thanks for watching today anyways that video will be coming in the future We're gonna try to get that done as soon as possible. We've got to try to arrange it Maybe they'll send me out overnight like into Saskatchewan and Alberta for like a week or something And I can show you like from start to finish in one video uh sort of Of the trip they're unloading I don't know. We're gonna talk about it more in our next meeting anyways. We have a meeting coming up So again, thank you for watching everybody if you haven't already hit that like button Uh, don't forget It's just a click of the button below the video and it really helps me out If you want to help me out even more you can leave me a comment down below And if you want to help me even more than that I do have a patreon where you can come and help us out that way But uh, if you just want to help us out here on the page here comment and like go a long ways And follow me on social media if I know all the links are down below my videos facebook twitter instagram I'm spending a little bit more time on twitter nowadays since things seem to be getting a little bit better there, hopefully I'm hoping that uh, well Elon musk bought out twitter That's a story for another vlog We're not gonna talk about that now But he has a lot of ideas for the platform that I think are really gonna help because I absolutely hated that app I thought it was a toxic environment.
