 Tim Hortons SO commercial car block truck stop whatever you want to call it and this is the mess We got a deal with here in the mornings I slept here overnight because I got to pick up a load just down the street right now We got people blocking this all up in here You know that guy with the trusses over there blocking that entire driveway so the entrance you can't get in here So it's very tight. It's very tight. There comes a guy in here right now. Let's see how he's gonna get in here Which way is he gonna go? It's a grain hauler. Oh Oh, oh looking at his options looking at his options. Okay, he's gonna come in the exit because the entrance is blocked And people all these people blocking everything. They're just inside getting Timmy's. That's how much people love Timmy's here in Canada They will go to great lengths. Oh, what's this guy gonna do? Okay, so he's gonna pull all the way around here I hope he doesn't go and Block that exit now because then I can't get out. I'm always gonna go park over there smart guy smart crazy, right? It's just chaos just chaos every morning here. It's a good morning. Welcome to the chaos Make sure you go down below my video. Make sure you're subscribed if you don't mind At the end of the video if you like it hit the like button if you didn't like it hit the dislike button twice Now I've got nothing to complain about. I don't have a trailer behind me. My trailer is waiting for me down the road So I don't have a problem. I'll be able to get out. There's still a lane for the exit Though it would be hard to get fuel here the fuel pumps for an all-in-all spot. It's a very small Lot like a small property, right? And since they got a Tim Hortons here. I don't know what it is about Tim Hortons But we all just have to have it. I mean it's good coffee, but I Would compare to like Dunkin Donuts in the US. It's it's good But it's not like oh boy. We got to go back and get another one right now after you have it It's coffee. It does the job. It wakes you up They got Decent food in there, but something about Tim Hortons does something to a Canadian It's like a magnet. You look at all these people look at all these guys Even though there's no room to park even though a lot is so small. They couldn't help themselves. It's like an addiction They had to stop they needed their Timmy's even though across the street You can get coffee at the petro pass down the road. You can get coffee at like fine jay or husky Down the road that way. I mean just petro pass on the other side of the city, too but This one spot Though it's gonna be the tightest spot to get in and out of drivers still They look at it like not it's worth it. I might get stuck in there, you know, it's worth it for Timmy's I don't know. I don't know what it is. I mean, I'm one of them. I don't know why I Mean McDonald's coffee is just as good But we still go to two words. I don't know what are they putting in their coffee? Let's roll So today's a pretty easy day just doing some local stuff again Like I said yesterday and the day before I've just got to be home for this weekend. We have our Couple of events going on this weekend and it's Father's Day. I'd be home for that So I'm just grabbing a trailer actually in in winterpackers grabbing it and bringing it to Portage La Prairie an hour down the road. I'll probably call it a day after that I think this guy's gonna want to cut in front of me edging forward from my left over here I'm bigger. I got a bigger nose. I'll just stick it right in there. Just stick your nose in It's like this. This is how you do it Now everybody after they've gotten their Timmy's is very frustrated with all the traffic and sometimes they get a little grumpy So you got to be a little bit patient and don't snap back at them. We're big. We're bulky. We're slow We're in everybody's way Gotta wake up every morning and realize that people are gonna be mad at you for no reason And that's okay Just do your best to stay out of their way and do your best, you know Follow the rules obey right of ways. What else can you do? four-wheelers be four-wheelers as a truck driver you have to Have a defensive mindset at all times. You can't be an aggressive driver You could be defensively aggressive like I was there like just get your nose in there Otherwise, they're gonna try to cut in front of you because no one wants to be behind the truck So you saw me come up to the intersection there The van was waiting already and I came up after the van. So that's the order whoever gets there first That's how the line works The van got there and then I got there then the pickup came and tried Looked like he was gonna try to sneak in front of me. He ended up not trying but I also was kind of assertive and you know as soon as the van started moving I Stuck my nose right in there said no this space is mine, right? Now if he would have gotten there first obviously I would have yielded to him whatever As besides the point we're trucking. I feel light is a feather. I got no trailer behind me. Let's go get this trailer Really easy day next week will probably be a little bit more busy as this week we kind of We kept ourselves busy. I mean it wasn't a bad week. I kept ourselves busy around here So I'm happy with it I'm gonna try to get a few more nickels next week. Let's speed limit here a hundred Home sweet home, man It's actually kind of chilly in here. I've noticed this thing is very well insulated better insulated than the other one Because on the hottest summer days I come into the shop and it's cool like cold in the shop I'm hoping that's gonna be the same thing in wintertime. Just the opposite has freezing outside But it's still pretty warm inside. We have floor heat which heats the shop right now That's that's the only heat in here. I've got a wire up a 220 volt outlet in here Yeah, so that I can have my little heater running if I need to but floor heat does enough That's all you really need to keep the shop. Well All right, let's get old blue in here. I ordered some drive tires for today My dad went and got some new ones and it sort of motivated me to get them now We have these over here. We've got these good year G182s. These are expensive tires I bought them through our works account. They get a discount. I just got the bill for them finally $750 each $1,500 sitting right here, and I don't want them. I'm ordering something else so I Want to go order six new tires like this, right? And I don't get the same discount or even if I did let's say I went through the same account I got the same discount $750 times 6 we're looking at $4,500 plus installation It would be more than that Plus what how much would it be like 35 bucks a tire or something a Couple hundred bucks. Maybe I'm gonna know $5,000 plus tax So I'm looking at a bill of over $5,000 just for six tires because I already have these right So I went and bought eight tires now This is gonna cause a whole bunch of comments But that's good because the more comments I get on my channel the more Google and YouTube Pushed my video out to new people. So we'll get a whole bunch of new subscribers out of this I went and ordered black Hawks Which are a cheap cheaper brand I'm gonna give them a shot Now obviously being a cheaper brand they won't last as long but you get what you pay for you pay less but they last less less time right so I'm gonna try it. My dad bought them for his truck. He bought eight black Hawks and he has them on his truck I believe they come from the same company as handcooks You know, I wanted to put like Michelin's or Goodyear's on but tires are so expensive so expensive Like these tires here without an account or without any special fancy discounts. Those are about a thousand dollars each Thousand bucks each two thousand dollars for two tires. That's That's a non-starter. I can't spend eight thousand dollars just to my drives because I got to buy steers to in fall And that's another two thousand dollars for two tires because those are about a thousand dollars each so ten thousand dollars That's what I've been saying. That's what these tires are worth, right? These black Hawks I ordered eight of them closed shoulder After-tax installation everything said and done me driving away $4,000 I got eight black Hawk tires For a thousand dollars less than what I would pay for six Good years So now I have these spare tires here. Anybody want some tires? They're for sale. I Don't want them five hundred bucks each It's a deal. They only have a couple of thousand miles on them Maybe one two thousand miles or so because I only had them on for a short little while Look at this tread. They're perfect. They're brand new. Look at that perfect tires I Paid seven hundred fifty dollars for each of them Someone want to take them off my hands for a thousand bucks Now these are a bit of an odd size of tire 295 75 are 22 and a half So they won't fit on they're not the most common tire in Canada So I understand and not a lot of people could use these but It's a pretty good discount. I Realize I'm losing money on that, but it's either that or they just sit here I'd like to keep them as spares Honestly, I've thought about that, but there's nowhere for me to carry them on my truck I can't put them anywhere on my truck and I don't haul my own trailer. I Have a different trailer every week. I can't keep moving them back and forth and sometimes there's just literally no place to put them I can't carry them with me. They're kind of useless to me Unless if I were to get a flat tire like right here in town then I could just come and get them No, they're just gonna end up sitting here for for weeks and weeks. So Yeah, pretty much half price 295 75 are 22 and a half if you have used for them if you're in the Manitoba area and you're willing to come get them I'm not bringing them anywhere. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude. That's a pretty good discount already I think you can come get it. I'm not happy as you might Tell about losing the money on them, but I do Amaze well get something for them, right? Let me know down below in the comments or send me an email actually, you know what? This is something that you would want a response. I sometimes the comments Don't get to me for some reason if you really want the tires and you're serious and you live in the area Email me trucker Josh vlogs at gmail.com with the subject line tires or something like that And we work something out If not, if I don't sell them, I'm just gonna sit here So I was hesitant going with a cheaper brand of tire because I like to have good solid American brand tires on my truck Right Michelin be if good rich good year Well-known tires that have a good reputation that last a long time do the job But you know what? Sometimes you just got to pinch some penny somewhere and We'll see we'll see you'll be able to tell right here on my vlogs. Was it a good decision? Was it a bad decision? I made an executive decision over my business. I said, we're gonna save this money Even if I don't sell those tires, I still saved a thousand dollars By buying these eight tires and just leaving those sit there. So if I sell them for a thousand dollars, I mean it kind of balances unless but It is what it is You just got to make do. Oh my god, I guess and we'll see how these tires do I'll let you see them once they're on the truck. I ordered them. So they'll be here Monday My truck is going in for a service Monday morning. It's Friday today when I'm filming this So once it's done with the service if there's time I'll take it there Monday afternoon I'll get the tires switched up for me If not, we'll maybe do it Tuesday morning But I need to get back on the road as soon as possible So I'll keep you updated. I mean, of course, there's gonna be comments out here that are That are gonna say I'm gonna regret it And there's gonna be comments that'll say hey, they've worked well for me Guess we'll find out. I'll let you know how they do I'll mark the odometer and I'll write it down in my booklet of when we installed them And we'll see how many miles we get out of them most tires you can get about you can get close to 300,000 miles Out of some tires You drive them right in between 200 and 300,000 miles We'll see what happens I'm always nervous spending big money, especially on new brands that I haven't used before but hey If you have any experiences, do you run black Hawk tires? Let me know down below in the comment section What you think of them by the time you watch this I'll already have bought them and they'll be on the truck So there's no convincing me not to buy them, but I'd like to know what your experience is with them The big brands were just a little too expensive couldn't justify it Prices have gone up a lot in everything, right? So We'll see was it worth the savings? Who knows we'll find out stay tuned the trucker Josh and subscribe So you don't miss Hopefully they don't blow up on me and fly all over the place One thing I will say though is that they're virgin tires brand new tires. They're not recaps when I had my Volvo Way back that I remember I put recaps on there and those didn't pretty good for me They did really good. They never flew apart and they lasted decently long But I went with virgin tires just a little bit of a different brand. I'm a little nervous about it See what happens These are the tires I got on here right now worn right down Mean they may be able to go for a little while longer, but not much longer Then I have this one this hand cook on here. This was the used tire that I bought It's not really good for me. Actually, that's the same tires that my dad had on his truck Before he just changed them recently and they did really well for him This tire here It's got some pretty good tread, but there is something stuck in it right here And it's not leaking not yet, but uh I mean Keep picking things up keep driving over things These are doing all right. All right, it might have been able to get a little bit more out of them But these here again very worn down And these ones Again like the same as the other ones 295 75r 22 and a halfs. These are firestones FD 692s They did really good It's a good brand and You know Good well for me. We'll see how those block hogs do we'll see At least they'll all match again, right? And the steers all probably always go with Michelin X lines These on the front are 275 80 r 22 and a half They've actually been doing really good too. These I am going to keep on here until uh Fall time just before winter This is the driver side though The driver side is always better than the passenger side passenger side wears down faster Because the truck is usually leaning this way, right? I'm gonna passenger side Still doing all right I think we can make it till fall We'll see said before we have that appointment Monday morning, so it'll be a little bit of a long weekend I'd like to get moving Monday afternoon We'll see See what happens see what they got for me. It seemed to be a little bit slow this week And right now and then we go through a slow patch and not much to do And all of a sudden we're super super busy and everybody's scrambling I guess that's the whole point of business, right? It can never just be like steady Same pace every day. It's just some days or just give or give or give or other days are like Anyways, let's go home and hold my baby. I miss them and my wife. Oh, what is this? What what is going on here?
