 Breakfast diesel breakfast you hungry Eat up buddy Morning everybody Thursday, we're in BC We're in Chilliwack British Columbia right now on the west coast of Canada in southwestern Canada Right by the US border Look at this view. I woke up to this is beautiful Second let me get in there you go check this out Beautiful out here So it's not too cold But it's cold off Last time I was out here last week. It was plus 12 Celsius and today right now is minus seven and It's supposed to go up to plus two but We'll see I just did my pre-trip. I'm ready to roll I'm hoping traffic is not going to be too bad getting into Surrey from here this morning But I know it's gonna be it's gonna be fun Well, let's get at it What did I say yesterday Surrey's not gonna come to us. We got to go to Surrey Gotta deliver this freight somebody wants it right now pull in a little over an hour We should be right on time Let's get out of here get on to the road. We should be arriving there right on time Rather try to arrive there a little early, but what it is at least we're on time We're here on Lickman Road in Chilliwack, BC Right in front of us there used to be an SO truck stop that I would stop at every single time I was out here and it closed You can still park your trucks there, but I Park across the street now at either the Chevron or the Flying J after this there's a It's hard to find a parking spot Any further towards the city unless you get there in the middle of the day I mean there is a truck stop in Langley. There's a couple small ones in Abbotsford There's a flying J in South Abbotsford just above the US border, but all of the parking spots there are reserved except for three Truck stops here and there, but they're all very small Finally almost my turn to be unloaded. I got my tarps off Got my straps all looking to putt forward here. It's all nailed down to the deck So there's no chance of it falling off. I'll band it together, too I just got to move up just a little bit. They went on lunch break and they're gonna unload me after lunch a bit of a whoop See the third truck unloaded And I was supposed to be the second truck unloaded, but he snuck in before me Loaded before me. I think this is where they wanted me now a little further back Not a little further forward so I had a reload appointment I was telling you at 2 o'clock this afternoon and I would have made it just fine because the the first guy's appointment here and This morning was at 7 a.m They unloaded him first and then I was supposed to get unloaded after him at 9 a.m And then this guy in front of us was get unloaded at 11 or 3rd Now if we would have gone in the proper order, I would have been able to make it to my reload now I'm not gonna make it. I'm not even gonna be out of here at 2 o'clock, and I'm supposed to be over and Langley at 2 o'clock, which is 30 some kilometers away or like 20 miles But it's not that far away I'm not gonna make it now So we had to call them and ask them if we could just read or if we could just load it in the morning and they were Nice enough compassionate enough. I don't know what the word is nice enough to agree and they're gonna load me at 8 a.m Tomorrow morning instead. The only thing is They were hoping this load could get to Portage La Prairie for Friday Now even if they would have loaded me today at 2 o'clock They first have to load me then I have to tie it down then I have to tarp it I wouldn't have gotten out of there till like between 4 and 6 Pacific time which is Two hours later than because Portage La Prairie is in central time. So if I would let's say I would have left here at 6 p.m. Today That would have been 8 p.m. Central time where I'm delivering and then it's 2,300 kilometers which is A little over two days of driving you can do it in two full days if you really book it But even if I did it in two full days, I would only be leaving here at 8 p.m. That means I'd only get there There's a Friday at 8 p.m. So I wouldn't even have made it on Friday. Anyways, I Would have had to deliver on Monday. So what I would have done is I would have gone home for the weekend Jumped back in the truck Sunday evening went over to Portage to be their first thing in the morning and then went back home Now instead of being there being home Friday night, I'm just gonna be home Saturday afternoon instead So I'll be home not quite 24 hours later. I lost about a half day here doing this So I lose some time at home but oh Well, well not oh well But he didn't do it on purpose He on he made an honest mistake. He got here and he said hey I'm here to be unloaded and they assumed he was me They assumed he was the 9 p.m. Or 9 a.m. Appointment. So it was an honest mistake all around and it worked out in the end Anyways, I'm still gonna get this load that's going to Portage will Prairie. I'm still getting paid I got an evening to spend here in BC though. So there's a there's a positive point I get to spend a night here or an afternoon and evening In a warmer climate instead of staying in minus 30 on the other side of the mountains I got to stay here around, you know zero hmm disappointing but There is a silver lining like I said, and it was an honest mistake. Okay, so I'm gonna show you this load here right now Show you what we're dealing with. Oh, no, I just broke my oh, oh, no, I just broke my Thing I'm a Jagger I'm out. Well, it'll still mount. It's just the lock broke off. These things always break off these GoPro mounts. Seriously, they're like 25 30 dollars each and they break so easy. I'm gonna go buy another one and 30 dollars So this is my camera I'm trying to get it in the light here somewhere where you can see it properly Like that that's the camera That's the case where this camera that I'm holding right now goes in from the back there like that And it holds in there my mic is on top of it and then this is the the mount That is supposed to lock In there and you see both those pieces that are both broken off now So it won't lock in there. It'll still work. It just it might fall out sometimes, but That is what I'm holding in my hand and I can turn that mic to face backwards to if I'm holding the camera like facing that way I just turned the mic around But when I'm facing the camera like this You get it right you get it shoot Some expensive mount, but I guess it depends what you consider to be an expensive mount for that little piece 20 to 30 bucks. I think it's 25 or 30 bucks after tax That's expensive. Whatever you'd pay for the name, right? It's GoPro You could probably get like a Chinese brand for like 50 cents somewhere but it would probably smell weird and Break even faster if you guys ever noticed that when you buy electronics or anything that's made and assembled in China that it comes and the package smells like weird Really weird smells like smoke. It smells like there was like a chain smoker who was putting this together for you guys No, no the smell I'm talking about. It's almost like a What do you call it like a chemical smell? It's really weird This GoPro like it was it's an American product But it was obviously assembled in China like so much stuff is these days and the package that came in just Smelt like chemical cigarette smoke So weird, but anyways, let's go out here and Show you guys around a bit since my guys that are unloading me are on lunch break right now They offered to unload me, but they asked if I was in a hurry. I said well I'm only getting loaded or reloaded tomorrow morning now. So I mean take your time, right? It's noon. Go have lunch I mean I'm in no real big rush. This is all the glass that we deliver it here I did not deliver that one This one was here when I got here. Look at this Whoopsie that's a big whoops. I Have never broken one I have a squeaky clean record and just to be sure Knock on wood been doing over the road here for this will be all it'll be eight years in October of this year So I'd say seven years said a little over seven years. I've been doing this and Perfectly clean record Looks really good on a job resume, but I'm not looking for work. I got plenty of work So this is my load. Remember we picked up this load from The yard and someone else had tarped it. So look at how many tarps I have here now Man, this is ridiculous. Hey I got half a load of tarps Mine on there and some other guys. I got to bring back to the yard and this is the load I know I kept you in suspense for as long as I could Takes a little over two hours to unload it because at this place what they do is they they take it apart All of this X frame here in the a-frame on the front They take it all apart and they unload it one crate at a time with a boom They lift it off of here so it takes A good amount of time, but good thing. We got lots of time. I don't know what we're gonna do tonight That's a good thumbnail right there though Don't know if I'll use it or not sort of exactly the same as the one I used the other day. So maybe not This is trucking just waiting. Well, that was a tight lot to get out of a little bit of wiggling to get out of there We're on our way to our Chevron truck stop and Langley That'll wait to reload tomorrow morning 8 a.m. It's 2 30 in the afternoon a little bit of time we're gonna catch up on our Editing this guy's just gonna cut right in front of me. That's okay I forgive you because I'm a good person unlike people who just cut into traffic And all honestly it wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad go to the truck stop and figure out what to do with us With ourselves for the rest of the day It's too bad that that other driver cut in front of me and took my appointment. Otherwise, I could be getting reloaded right now Getting ready to head back home Now we got to do that in the morning right in the corner perfect spot because No one really parks beside you if they do park beside you their truck is usually back there like that guy So all of you should know when you come in park here Save me my spot. Don't park in my spot. I'm coming for it I'm gonna have to end this vlog here though Thanks for watching tomorrow. We load up that insulation and we head back to the cold prairies Through the mountains, so there should be some good scenery again tomorrow if you guys like that kind of thing I'll see you then I got work to do
