 Wednesday March 23rd 2022 when I'm filming this and we're off Got the low bed behind us. I have no idea what I'm even picking up. They just said take that trailer Well, what am I picking up? I don't know but you'll need that trailer. Well, okay. I like surprises. It should be fun I have no idea That's trucking right just go pick it up. It's over there. Bring it somewhere bring it over there At this time That's all I need to know really I'll take care of the rest all the in-between stuff the loading it Tying it down getting it there. That's my job All I need to know is where is it and where does it need to be? And when I'm guessing is probably some really high freight. I the way it sounded It's not like some big bulldozer or something. It's it's some kind of big crate That's really high that would have been over height if we were on any other trailer I'm pretty sure that's why I have this trailer today just because it has a really low deck At least we're trucking right? I'm surprised that there's such a shortage of truck drivers Like I'm really surprised and it's been that way for decades Who wouldn't want to drive trucks all day? Like guys my age. Don't we love trucks? Don't you love trucks? My whole life. It's all I've ever wanted to do is drive trucks Here I am living the dream But it seems most people my age or a lot of people my age don't want to drive trucks in real life They just want to dream about it. Well, why dream about it? Get your commercial license We call your commercial license employment insurance because there's always somebody looking for a commercial driver always You get your commercial license. You'll always have a job. You'll never be out of work You'll always be able to pay your bills. They're usually pretty good paying jobs, too I mean unless you want to work at 7-eleven the rest of your life I'm just saying This will pay you better and it's a lot more fun What it looks like detached and here's the trailer I am actually loading up a big piece of machinery I'm going to drive it right up here. I'm Loading up that thing right there with the blue cover on it the tracks That guy's coming to drive it on here for me Unless he wants me to do it. I I was told he's not going to do it, but it's sitting there running This is a digger of sorts. You can see the augers up there, right from the front So that's my load for today or for this morning anyway pretty aggressive tracks And like I said, I was told that he was going to come out here and load it himself Sometimes we have to load them ourselves too. That's why I'm a little confused, but I was waiting here for a phone call a little bit Roll it right on Hook the gooseneck back up Pull it to the other side of the city And this thing is mostly powered by hydraulics and uh This little gas motor That sits in here. I'll do this for a second. We got it to the other side of the city There's my truck parked over there with the Gooseneck on it. It's out of the way We're about to back this thing off here right onto the service road And there it goes down a road Off my trailer over there. Now I've got to hook these things back up a lot of my trailer over there This was actually my first Use of the RGN trailer since I've been trained on it for an actual big piece of heavy equipment The first one that uh, I got shocked myself on the door there freak man Last time I used this trailer I just hauled both boxes on it, right? It wasn't really uh, what what the trailer was designed for but this is exactly what this trailer was designed for And it was pretty cool to actually use it for its intended purpose. That was fun That's a pretty heavy load, but it wasn't wide Uh, just a little heavy But we got her done. We just had to bring her across the city It's not like I went across the continent or anything or across the country, but It was it was still fun. So before when we hooked it up I gave you the perspective on top of the truck, right? Now we got to hook up here And you got to get it just right just straight my back window got dirty fast Yikes, here she comes. You see her in the mirror? I got to line up my tire tracks exactly with my old tire tracks Slowly back up towards it Now before I hit it I'm gonna Stop My brakes Let's go and see how straight we are See it hits that it's sort of like a fifth wheel, right? It hits that it sort of guides it in Just got to make sure that you're straight this way Tough until It's on the deck. You can feel it. There it goes. Okay Bump it pretty hard. Not pretty hard. I should be careful about that Shouldn't tell you to bump it hard might break something But you know give it a little bit more of a love town. We're in both those pins You see this thing here It's supposed to go down and in there and it'll go in there once it clicks in I'm going to adjust this a little bit here And uh, I have to start the motor for that. Just got to get it to click in there Lock up my diffs get a little more traction and more push. I think that did it Our favorite corner here still exists if anybody's wondering Still can't tell which road they're on Those of you who haven't watched this before this is like suicide corner here in Winnipeg We're on highway 59 south. La Jermody is that way highway 59 as you can see south is that way I got to get across this highway, but I can't see anything because there's a bridge like a hill right there So I can't see the cars coming. They're coming at 60 mile an hour 100 kilometers an hour And they're coming at 90 kilometers an hour 55 miles an hour and the speed limit changes right about here So they should all be doing around about 90 or 55 kilometers an hour 55 miles an hour So they're going pretty fast. So by the time I see them, it's already too late to go See if that direction is already all clear. I'm clear on that side I think right after this SU. Oh, we're gonna give her we're gonna give her. Nope. Nope. No, it's too soon Nope. No, see if you can see them already. It's usually too late and on that side There's a highway behind this highway And over there it's hard to tell which road they're on. Are they on this road or are they on The perimeter exit the other road over there because if they're on the other road, I can go it's clear But if they're on this road, I'm definitely not clear I'm going to be cutting them off hard core if I turn in there. See now we're clear here But I'm not clear there. Okay after this white SUV Okay If nobody comes I think we're gonna go all we're gonna send it Send in it find myself at that corner. Yeah, I could go other roads, but you know, I'm a Glutton for punishment. I guess I like the challenge drop this trailer here I hate leaving it dirtier than I found it But with this weather we're having springtime is what they call it That's a messy time of year Okay, so I need my landing gear which is right in here This is like a a pocket for stuff in here one landing gear two landing gears Oh, he's gonna have to go underneath there. I'll just put this here for now See the this trailer has landing gear built right in this one. You got to Throw these under there These are my flags. I want to keep those Before I forget Yeah, I'm getting my exercise here. Man. What is this? Okay, this should all be Ready to go here Guess I should turn the fuel on Thought I'd take a shortcut. Nope. You got to open this up Turn the fuel on. There you go What you doing? What you doing to me? Let's choke out What's going on here? I had you running before just fine It needs a new battery The battery was dead this morning. I guess it didn't have enough of a chance to charge Good thing. I've got a booster pack with me. I'll go grab that right away Let's put these flags away first so we don't lose them I'm gonna have to let them know that the battery needs charging or needs to be replaced probably I mean, I charged it up pretty good before I thought it was good It's not turning over fast enough borrowed this battery pack before This will help a little bit of an extra kick in the pants These are the kind of things that are included in trucking It's not just driving It's a lot of other BS too But that's what makes it fun, right? Wouldn't be fun if it was easy There we go All right, now do you want to start for me? I'm gonna stand down here so I can pull on this choke a little better Just like that. Just like that Okay, let's detach this trailer and hook this stuff drop it too low if it is too low next time Got our fifth wheel puller. You know, it's a good thing. I spent 200 bucks on these new shoes They're waterproof Okay, we should be good to Roll out. I guess we'll find out I guess we should go over here and shut the motor off so we don't burn all the gas until next time I'll feed us in We'll close this Wait one second. Oh Turn the fuel off Josh. Okay. Now we can do it. Okay. Say finis au revoir I'll feed us Ciao It was fun
