 We're still an oak bluff the same place. We went to sleep last night nice Be less than that between 10 12 pick up a load and drag it back here. How awesome as they are Have found us something to take up there So we don't have to go up empty. We can quickly go pick something up bring it up there drop it off and then pick up my freight Bring it down here that way. I don't have to go all the way up there with nothing on the trailer A bunch of sailboat fuel and motorcycle doors, right? This is good I got to go to the other side of the city though quickly throw it on the trailer And then we'll be on our way. So let's go pick it up. I am ready to rock be a good day We have that RGN trailer behind us that we picked up yesterday, right? You guys watch yesterday's video It's gonna be fun. Oh, hey, mr. Clayson, you can't park it. I gotta go Thank you. There you go. We're at a meter or so just make sure that my trailer is attached That's gonna come with me of course bud. That's okay. Have that extra freight on our trailer now that's taking us north This is awesome. Now. I have a load going north and a load coming back south It's hard to get a rounder all the time because Gillum is so remote and isolated end of the road Very often you just got freight going up and you come back empty or you go up empty you come back loaded this time Load going both ways I'm just gonna mark here that I'm taking on doing a load check Myself on-duty not driving Load check. Okay. I'm gonna go check the load tighten the straps a little bit. We're on a little pull-out. You don't need the truck idling Save some fuel Stuff's expensive nowadays. You guys ever see what you've looked like what you look like on my head. Let me see There you are. Don't I look ridiculous? That's why people are staring at me funny all the time, but I do it for you And I do it for the likes so hit that like button Okay, guys, so I said a little pull out here. This is actually a little scale that's closed right now This is my load. I got spent fingers. I got this culvert in here got it wrapped in here I'm going to just walk around here and check all my straps. Make sure they're tight See this one could go another notch Settled a little bit this guy here. I have a pallet of cement in here Excuse me a little noisy there's a pallet of cement in here that Is powdered and it cannot get wet it's wrapped and shrink wrap under there and then tied down and then we put one of My tarps over it Wrapped it with a strap to keep the tarp in and then put another guy on top of here Just to keep it from flapping around. What is this here? I don't oh boy. I don't want that on my trailer How's that coming from? Oh boy, let's climb up on her a little bit. I don't want that flying out into traffic Where did that come from? Is that where it came from? Where did it come from? Okay, well anyway And there's this guy back here. I saw these straps were flapping a little bit even though I have them twisted So oh shoot my corner sort of came off of there, didn't it? I Push that back in there if I can whatever as long as the strap is protected. That's fine I've got to tighten that up And this up a little bit here I've got my tarps my other two that I didn't use in here So climb up on here So this RGN trailer is it's designed for hauling big machinery, right? But you can also use it for hauling stuff like this It's a unique trailer Now you hear me talking about rubrails all the time, right? This trailer does not have rubrails. It's one of those non-rubrails trailers It's an RGN These are for chains. We'll be using them once we pick up our big big piece of machinery I've got a crate filled with some stuff in here We're gonna tighten those straps up So it looks like on this side So we are north of Grand Rapids about one hour from where highway six turns right towards Thompson If you're familiar with this road, this is the one road that heads up into northern Manitoba It is paved all the way up to where We meet the 280 just a little past Thompson. I'm gonna stay in Thompson tonight Because I don't want to go down highway 280 at night I Want to be able to see the potholes before they swallow me and and try to avoid that and try to live I don't know how bad the road's gonna be but from everything I've heard from everyone who's gone down there recently Nothing has changed and it's gonna be pretty brutal It's a long remote road all gravel So 250 kilometers that'd be two and a half hours of just highway driving If it was paved It's about 150 miles Gravel road. So the other day last week we were talking about 15 miles of gravel road. You remember that? I was like, oh no 15 miles. This is 10 times further 150 miles of gravel road. We're gonna do tomorrow one way and back goes as 300 miles altogether Normally that would be half a day of driving So we're gonna get there as early as we can unload this stuff Get reloaded and try to get back to Thompson and as far south as we can And hopefully old blue will hold up. It's just a tough truck. So Should be fine I'm not excited about going down the gravel road with the truck, but I've said it before money talks Put enough dollar signs at the end of that gravel road That's where you'll find me Trying to get my family into a better house We're gonna have to replace our vehicles in the next five to ten years And yet one day I want to save up and maybe even have some property by the lake Whether it just be some land where we can put a camper on or an actual cabin Yeah, that's our goals I don't have many other goals in life other than that Other than my obvious goals of building my businesses and growing my little empire In whatever ways I can Starting new businesses helping them to grow Finding new ways of making money New ways of surviving And hopefully the future is bright. That's all we can do right and just hope Hope for a good future But yeah, there's enough dollar signs down at the end of the gravel road. That's where I'll be We can get a lot of garbage though. Come on guys Maybe they need to put garbage cans here Oh, who are we kidding? Put garbage cans here. No one's gonna use them, right? It's real quiet out here. So it's kind of nice to do something a little different with the rgn Would you call it a low-boy trailer? That's what those are called We call it the rgn removable goose neck so tomorrow This one will uh, just bring all the stuff to where it's supposed to be And then uh, when I go to load the big piece of equipment That goose neck like I explained yesterday Detaches like the trailer lays right on the ground that detaches stays on my truck as we drive away And we drive the piece of equipment Right onto the trailer Right up the front Garbage everywhere here. It's disgusting. Look at this all around here That's too bad, you know There are no options here. There are no garbage cans anywhere around here. I mean I honestly don't know if that would make a difference or not, but What do you do, right? Even if there are garbage cans the truck stops all look like this. It's It's sad. I wish it was different. We can do better Made it to thompson out of here Let's just get out here and do the walk around make sure that we're gonna be good We were here last winter and this whole place was just packed them I think it gets a lot busier here in winter because of the winter roads But i'm not sure That would make sense to me Because there's a lot of communities north of here That can only have road access during the winter months with the winter roads and the ice roads So in wintertime There's a lot of trucks a lot of trucks going up and down here including us We do the ice roads and winter roads too. I haven't done them myself yet I've dabbled a little bit. I've done one here and one there a little bit here a little bit there Not the real ones though. Not the real winter roads. I've just crossed the river a couple of times and You know I haven't gone too far. I don't really want to take old blue Up on those roads because they can get really rough. It's not like the show ice road truckers. It's uh It's a lot more isolated and secluded. We don't have film crews following us around with paramedics On site right away, right? We're out there all alone with no cell segments. It's One day. I want to do it yet, but We'll see I was coming in here to join us If he does park beside me, I hope he's quiet He's coming around the back there. I bet you anything he's going to come park right beside me Close. Nope. Nope. Is he going to go in there? He's not sure where he's going either He's flying though Not too fast. I guess Just faster than me Okay, he's getting back in right over here. These are all parking spots here So This is where we're going to spend the night See he was going to come right in here between us, but there's this cement block A cement block here for some reason I don't know why But I guess we're not supposed to park right here So everybody that's it. That's all for the day. Thanks for hanging out with me Really appreciate it. Give me some light there. Here we go Oh, now you can see me. You can come a little closer if you will. Oh, there you go.
