 Good to see I don't know. I've stayed here many times many times It's actually gotten better. There's a updated a lot of been a lot of updates in New Brunswick All these truck stops have really stepped up their game. Good to see her on what few nice days They have out here in northern New Brunswick Must be pretty beautiful out here right on the water. It's just they have so much miserable weather up here like They're just troopers for sticking it out. You know They settled here, and you know what they're gonna stay here Church that's a church northern New Brunswick has a Acadian roots. I believe they're a group of people French speaking Different from Quebec very nice people up here. Oh, look guys got firewood for days Yikes that guys your guy must get very bad weather coming off this water over here all the time I know they have a a ton of snow here in the winter time a ton Like a four-foot snowfall is nothing that's just that's just another winter day So we're being loaded up right now And you notice the lack of straps and chains. I'm using Diesel all I gotta do is go and close the doors and we're off Feels like we should do more than that right I'll have to make sure the freight is secured. I'll probably put two straps inside the trailer Just to make sure that it doesn't fall back, you know, but Other Nat good to go as soon as we're done here. They've just been like racing in and out of the trailer though Loading me up. I hope that they're not gonna put more weight than they're supposed to in there I'm supposed to make sure that they don't put any more than 42,000 pounds in the trailer because we have a bunch of extra equipment on these trailers for special specialty loads that they're a little heavier than the average drive-in So I have to make sure that usually we can haul 44 to 45,000 pounds But in these trailers, I got to keep it to around 42,000 or lower They were supposed to know that but I guess because of the social distancing virus and everything going on They want to interact with me as little as possible. So I've been trying to get their attention I have to stay in my truck. I'm trying to get their attention to tell them. Hey only 42,000 pounds But they're so busy. They're just like on a one-track mind So at the end of this Hopefully they won't have to take some off. I Wish they would have at least come to talk to me and interact with me a little bit first before starting just to say a little Hello, this is what you're getting How much weight can you put on? And now I just backed up to the dock and they started going This place and kind of a big mud lot. They were actually not even in the office. They're Minimizing their time at the office here. So no one's in the office So when I got here, I had to call a phone number and then they came in to load me This whole virus thing has got everybody so on edge and so scared and so Filled with fear, you know It's gonna take a long time for things to For people's mindset to go back to normal I think because they've been they've been so scared putting to such a big state of fear over this, you know like worldwide and You know Can't blame them for that can't blame them at all But just for everything to for that to get out of people's minds that that may never leave this generation's mind, you know It is what it is We're gonna keep trucking no and hopefully he's not gonna put too much weight on me and have to take something off Hope he comes and talks to me before he parks his forklift at least He's gonna bring me paperwork sooner or later, right? And then I've got to look at the paperwork and I wanted before they print the paperwork off I want to make sure that the weight is right Yeah We'll be okay, at least we don't have to chain it down I paid my dues I guess This is a lot easier Okay, we're golden. I got I got his attention We got to keep our distance, but I can sort of yell at him from a distance or talk loudly and Just let him know hey, I can only take 42,000 pounds apparently And he already knew that and they also have a scale on site here So we're gonna scale myself before leaving the yard Which is awesome because a lot of these places that we come to in northern New Brunswick to load The load is always very heavy and a lot of them don't have scales and the closest scale to here is three hours away So if we're overweight we drive three hours there and then I have to come three hours back I gotta follow him now So they put way too much weight on the drives And it's you can't account for it by sliding the axles forward any further So it's way too much weight in the front of the trailer. So he's got to rearrange the freight But this Truck, you know the only criticism I had of this truck was the transmission right and this sort of ties into that as well The clutch is so jumpy. It's very hard not to slam into their dock Because you just feather the pedal right you just want to slowly ease towards the dock But it wants to grab right away and just wham slow you I've been able to avoid slamming the dock here But I can just it's really hard to get a smooth Smooth reverse, you know, I'll have to get used to it. It's just truck. I'm not used to the transmission. I'm not used to but It's kind of annoying You guys experience that and automatic transmissions before too they just they want to grab and just go a little bit too Hard. It's very hard to just sort of feather it We're all loaded up and locked in Okay Let's go. We're at seventy eight thousand four hundred pounds Gross and we're allowed to be up to eighty thousand pounds gross in the US Of course as soon as I start rolling, that's when our new message arrives It's just how it works, right? You are cleared to cross at Holton, Maine That was fast. Wow. I didn't even left yet. I'll say thanks They know I got the message Let's give her Back here in Salisbury, New Brunswick, and I'm gonna go over the cat scale here's the closest scale to where I loaded other than the Scale at their yard, but honestly that scale was uh, I Want to double check it on a certified scale. I'll just say that Scale they had there was a little dated Little bit older, so I'm gonna go on double check make sure that I'm all good here I don't need to adjust my axles or anything And then I can have peace of mind that I'm not gonna get a big ticket Like I was telling you before or yesterday these big stops. They are amazing truck stops if you come to New Brunswick You're gonna have to stop a one They're in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Labrador. They're like a maritime Truck stop. They're better than Flying J and that like I was saying last time was a huge Huge compliment coming from me because I'm a big fan of Flying J But for me my Flying J fuel card works here the one we use so We're gonna wait for this guy Let him see how big he is first and then I'll get on the scale I'm not going anywhere right now Karen. I don't care what you say. I'm the boss We're gonna check to see how fat we are We gained a lot of weight today Pretty impressive for that old scale back at the at the shipper a diesel I'm allowed 12,000 pounds on my steer axle I'm at 740 we're good. I'm allowed 34,000 on both my drive axles and my trailer axles 33 820 and 33 600 For a total of seventy eight thousand six hundred and thirty pounds gross. That's full of fuel Not bad. Not bad. Who's over there diesel? Who's over there? I Think it's one of those creatures they call a dog Pretty sure me very similar to a weasel We made it into Maine USA And it's pretty dark and late by the time we got here, but we're just getting ready to start our next day So that means we got to start tomorrow's vlog.
