 Here we are once again guys Another Friday on our way in to do some trucking once the Sun comes up I want to have a chat with you guys in a conversation with you in the comment section there about Trucker bathrooms not about necessarily the state of them because I've heard that's been an issue as well How clean they are but just simply their access to bathrooms have you had any issue with having access to bathrooms and I want to share with you some things that the Ontario government in the province of Canada is doing about it We're just gonna wait for the Sun to come up here and join us and we'll see you at the truck Well, it's not the Sun, but it's all the light we got to work with right now artificial light The Sun will be coming up whenever it decides to wake up over there. It's been sleeping in lately It always does that this time of year Must be nice We don't have that privilege We got our truck running here got to go grab a roll tight flat. No roll tight step head north again Roll tight step. I think I see one right there Your mind buddy. Oh Wait, I think I see I think I see even even better one over there Let's see which one's our favorite just make sure you're empty before we go and hook up You can't see it's dark in there But it's empty Who is this 412 DTLR I choose you we're gonna be friends today This truck idle is a little rough when it's when it's cold We know that and It's gonna get fixed this truck's going in for a bunch of work in the next couple of months over the winter it should be a Lot better my next summer not just the engine We're looking forward to that Let's finish hooking up here. I have a two-hour drive north. We're gonna end up in our bird once again The town we always seem to go to good thing. I like the people there. Otherwise it'd be very difficult going there almost every day Trying to keep this jacket clean My first winter using it. I've had it for a while. It was actually a gift from one of you a While ago, I'm really thankful for because it's going to good use this winter Okay, so I didn't want to squish between there We're back here checking all the lights. I can see the license plate lights working brake lights are working tail lights are working marker lights and Signals are working. No lights at the top because it's a roll tight They're down there There they have three lights in the center of the trailer if it's a hardbox trailer like a van trailer It'll be at the top On flat beds and roll tights is down there That's to tell people behind us from a distance that this is a big truck And they know when they see tail lights what to expect in front of them, right? Hi, there we go. You sort of got a fidget with it sometimes give it a little love whack Get that light to work there Okay, it's gonna be a really warm drive up if I keep my jacket on the whole drive up there It's not even that cold. It's only minus one this morning but I've got to give my body a week or two to adjust to the new temperatures and Climatize whatever that word is Eventually it's gonna get down to minus 30 and then the first couple of days or first week of minus 30 is always like You're gonna die and then after that your body gets used to it and it's just another day Fold this thing up. Yeah, this jacket was a gift a long time ago. I really appreciate that Because I needed one my jacket from last winter was done It's too old so I had to go and Switch over to this one and usually my jackets last about Last about a year or two years Depending on how well I can take care of them I'm gonna try to get this not get this one dirty because when I get it really dirty then I have to wash it more often and Every time you wash it it deteriorates in a little bit and take some of the reflective qualities out of it You get the deal But things are gonna be washed. Hey, you notice I got a new vest too. I was really excited about this yesterday I ordered this off Amazon. It's a specific kind of vest It's the same kind that I had before except clean and new and not held together with pins The other one had a whole bunch of pins holding the pockets together because they all fall apart I couldn't find this one on Canadian Amazon for a year or so So I just made the other one work and now this one finally me became available and it was only like 25 bucks See, it's got this nice little clear package here for my hey. Hey, see what I mean There we go. You got it. I'll whack you Talking to the light not you I'd never whack you The velcro all works nice, but it's got the size of the clear pocket for my ID So when I show up to my shippers and receivers They clearly know where I'm from and what my name is if they want to call me by my name Or if they want to call in and say what a wonderful job this Josh trucker did he did such a good job You know what good thing he had his name tag and ID right here on his chest so we can call in and Tell them what a great job. He did right Therefore And here I've got a zipper pocket that holds like my fuel cards and spare key things that I don't want falling out zippered in this pocket Use it for Trav six Sometimes I get dry lips Just in case And then I got my pockets down here and here I keep my my mask in here I don't wear wear so it's always on me And then this gets washed all the time That's in there everything I need that's why I like this vest anyways The next jacket I buy those gonna have this clear pocket on it though, too I really like this that jacket doesn't have it that's okay because the jacket still works just great the next one I'm gonna have so that everybody can say hey You know that Josh guy he delivered our stuff. I like that guy There you go. I Gotta get going here. It's time to go. I hold hi-ho Or wait, that's not right. I oh I oh so it's off to work I go Sun is starting to wake up just a little bit out there. See that body so you can't see much of the sky So it's coming So it's Friday today. I was just looking at the calendar Maybe kind of worried about the calendar It stays are numbered so we're here waiting to get loaded Not too sure what they're doing. They're just getting stuff ready. So a little bit of a wait figured I'd trying Try my hand at try trying try making you Try making a funny. I'm a truck driver. Not a comedian If April showers bring May flowers What a May flowers bring pilgrims Why do seagulls fly over the sea because if they flew over the bay we'd call them bagels My hair is growing a little bit again You know every time I get a haircut and someone asks me hey, did you get a haircut? I say no I cut them all Where do boats go when they get sick To the boat dock Obviously How do you get a squirrel to like you? Act like a nut Why couldn't the bicycle stand up on its own because it was too tired? I'm gonna lose followers Here we wait I Got the trailer open. I got it swept the trailer needed a little bit of a Facelift by that I mean I had to clean up a little bit inside there I swept it out made it look all pretty organized all the straps all nice and neat and all the equipment all nice and neat Now I'm just hanging out Not too sure what they're gonna load me with Very important stuff, that's all I know and it's going to you guys want to know where it's going So if you were to drive here with us and you were assigned to this load You would be on your way to I don't know yet. I thought they sent me the message Yesterday's load though if you would have if you're the one pulling out the load I picked up from here yesterday you'd be going to Elk Grove, Indiana and York, Pennsylvania Just waiting on today's paperwork to get here Usually they'd send me all the information through the computer system here already, but They assigned this to me yesterday So I already knew I was coming here first thing in the morning and they were expecting me As soon as it gets on my trailer, they're so good here I love coming here because the shippers are really fun to talk to and They're really good at what they do they load it very well, and they'll tell me where to strap it They'll help me strap it. You know not a lot of shippers do that They don't usually help you tie down your loader You know give you points because it you don't want to damage the freight right the whole point of tying down the Load is to secure it without damaging it So our topic of conversation today is truck driver bathrooms or truck driver toilets or truck driver washrooms whatever you call the place Where you go number one and number two Have you been having a hard time finding a place on the road to go to the bathroom? I've heard stories of this again and again all over the place from the US up to Canada I have not experienced this problem myself whatsoever, but for the last year I've pretty much just been here in Manitoba and a little into North Dakota, Minnesota and Ontario so where you're at have you been having problems since this whole pandemic started Finding somewhere where people will let you use their bathroom or are you finding that some people are not letting you? because of all the restrictions Ontario which is the province over to our east is the province where our capital Ottawa is It's the most populated province in Canada Now they're passing legislation to help with that to allow delivery personnel To use the bathroom. I was reading up on it a little bit today yet This is the Ontario government intends to introduce legislation Legislation that would allow delivery workers access to use the washroom facilities at businesses where they are delivering or picking up loads So this is from Ontario trucking association. This is News a new site is called the on truck org on truck org And there's a whole news article on here about it And I wanted to ask you guys too because I've heard about this a lot I haven't experienced it at all. No one has ever refused me access to a bathroom But at some shippers and receivers I can see how that might happen and that might be an issue Has it been an issue for you? How's it happened to you and what do you think is all going to be included in this legislation like what are they going to do? They're gonna just pass a law that demands that you're allowed to go to the bathroom at your shipper or receiver That's what it sounds like they're doing which would make sense. I mean Some of these big receivers and shippers they have big secure yards And when you got to go you got to go and if there's nowhere to go, what are you supposed to do? Especially if you got to go number two Well, you can't what are you gonna get a bucket like no one wants to do that. This is this is 2021 We don't do that a lot of the shippers and receivers that I go to actually set up porta-potties Outside for the drivers to use which is something it's enough for me to use I don't need a big fancy bathroom. I guess some places aren't even doing that So now I guess this Ontario legislation is gonna pass a law that will I guess Force them to provide you with some kind of way to relieve yourself while you're waiting to get loaded or unloaded What do you think about that and has it been an issue for you? Let me know down below in the comments section Are you ever just sitting there minding your own business suddenly you get the feeling like you're being watched What's up guys? No How you doing you want to hear a joke? What do you call a cow with no legs? ground beef nobody Nobody I thought for sure they'd go for the cow joke. I told that one to you the other day, right? Well, well, well Looky here wonder where this train's going Probably to Thunder Bay to the port there or to Montreal And all of those containers are gonna be be going over the ocean somewhere. I bet I mean I don't know how long it's gonna take them to load them. They seem to be moving a little slowly once they get to the ports, but They're on the way
