 Good morning everybody another day is here. It's here right now, and we're going to call it Tuesday We've got a delivery this morning into Winnipeg got to be there for 8 a.m. So I'm just warming up the truck right now and in the meantime. I came to check it out. Here's trailer 603 It's all tied down Which I'm glad Usually these roll tight trailers we leave all the equipment with the trailer whereas a flat bed or Stepdeck like this the driver uses his own equipment and takes it with him when he goes And then I would put my own equipment and tie it down with my equipment. I Like that a lot better because then all of the the trailers when they get brought to the yard They stay secured and I don't have to worry about you know finding equipment to tie it down, but It's just my own personal opinion. I like pulling these roll tights a lot I like them I find them fascinating trailers because I've never pulled them in the last while I've been driving since 2006 And I just started pulling them in the last month or two And it's like a flatbed trailer but with a Cover so you never have to tarp you just roll it closed and hit the road But you still have to secure the load like you would on one of those so That's why I came here quick in my pickup to check. I'm here in the loaded lineup It's all ready to go my trucks over on the other side of the yard just warming up right now I figured I'd make myself useful instead of just sitting around twiddling my thumbs while it warms up I don't like to start it up and just give her and hit the road right away So it's a diesel engine you should do that with your gas engine too But it's it's more so with the diesel engine It's even more important I should say because a diesel engine needs to get the coolant warmed up it needs to get the engine warmed up before it starts pulling So I like to give it at least 15 minutes to idle in the morning when it's been cold at night Enduring the summer as well too usually just to get the fluid running actually in winter time It's sometimes it takes even longer than that to warm up But at least a good 15 minute idle when you first start it up in the morning and then she's usually Ready to go out there and kick some butt So let's go say hi to her shall we I left her over there all by herself kind of man am I Today is gonna be a good day I don't know why because it's a day that ends in Y every day that ends in Y is a good day, right? right just waiting for this guy off to my left to Make his little loop. He's trying to make a u-turn and I don't want to be in his way We're trying to get out of his spot or something The main gate fell off its track this morning So that's gonna cause chaos in the yard all day They're gonna have to get that thing fixed pretty quick. There's gonna be a big build up I was one of them I came up to the gate and just sat there. What's going on? Why won't it open Brendan had to come over and tell me how she fell off her tracks There's our girl right there. I'm just gonna do a little loop Oh, hope there she is There she was Back her in here right beside her Be careful not to let my tires slip into those ruts that haven't been filled up yet There we go They'll wait till the ground is finished being confused Right now it's springtime. So one day. It's soft the next day. It's all hard the next day. It's soft the next day It's all hard Shife and crooked here, but whatever It'll work. So the truck should be just about ready to go And I'm sure they'll have someone there working on that gate right away It happens everything breaks everything needs maintenance. So Uh, at least we have a second gate here, right? So it's not like we're all locked out of the yard All right, let's go. Let's tell what she's warmed up. She's an old truck and when she's cold she runs a little bit rough But as soon as she warms up she smooths right out. So that's my gauge of How I know when she's good to go. She's not quite there yet. There'll probably be another like She doesn't like to think she's very much like me, you know, we're good friends co-workers work buddies We both don't like working It's just the getting up member in your head that it's going to feel good once you're working It's going to feel good once you're being productive Getting out of bed And getting moving is sometimes a little difficult. Not every day but sometimes it'd be Nice to get an extra I don't know six hours to sleep All right, but there's too much work to do even on the weekends Oh man, we're working at the land every weekend pretty much on Sundays. We've got stuff going on And once we have kids I'm going to completely forget what it's like to sleep in so I may as well get used to it now All hooked up airing up the system Signals are working Air in those tires air in those tires Air in these tires. Yes signals working mudflaps in place Oh Oh, yeah, these mudflaps are new. We got those mudflaps there freak me out. I just saw this bar here. I was like, oh shoot Missing a mudflap Nope, they just put them back there. That way they don't get ripped off when if you accidentally bump into a curb when you're parking I like that Bonus they're all filled with air nice Signals are all working fantastical. All right Let's go kick some butt I've got all the the straps off the trailer and got the curtains Or the the cover rolled all the way the front they're gonna unload the back of the trailer first And once they're done with that I'm gonna roll it back so they can get what's at the front of the trailer yet And then I'll button her up and we'll head back Another successful trucker josh delivery and another happy customer They were really happy to see me. I guess they were waiting for this stuff We just uh picked it up yesterday. I believe yesterday afternoon Now this came down from arborg from up in uh the interlake of manitoba. So about two hours north of here And uh another driver went to pick it up. I was supposed to go pick this up yesterday But uh my morning because of that tractor that we couldn't get started It took too long so they had to send another driver up there to pick this up But he did a good job with it secured it all nicely So I just hooked up to it this morning and brought the rest of the way to the happy customer here And uh, I think my truck is uh Freaking out here. Look at this Apparently according to my truck It's 100 minus 120 degrees outside and very dusty inside. Yeah, so look at this What is going on with me? I was in a bit of a rush this morning. I didn't have a Chance to dust everything. I just hooked up and booked it out the door and look at us kicking butt kicking Tuesday's butt right here With my back where it belongs Yeah, so uh this thermometer doesn't work I was gonna show you at some time uh every once in a while doesn't do it every time So it's hard to catch it But I I turned the truck on and it freaks out for like five minutes saying those minus 20. No, it's plus 140 No, it's minus 80. No, it's only plus one. No, I think it's zero. No, it's minus 120 again I don't think it's quite that cold outside I mean it's we still got some snow over there But uh, I'm pretty sure it's not negative 120 Just going out on a limb here and guessing Down on this trailer. I don't think it needed to be but again, I was in uh, I was in a bit of a rush To get going this morning. So I just left it down. It's not Illegal or bad if it is down tri axels a tri axle It just wears out the trailer a little further So I'm gonna lift it up Since we're now empty and there's no reason to have it on the ground So that we got to go all the way back up here. There we go that airbag fills with air Pushing the axle up the actual airbags then deflate just on this axle so that it can go up And there you go less wear and tear on the truck and you're burning less fuel Like I was saying, oh, there's nothing illegal about having all three down all the time Just uh, if you do have all three down, why? Maybe uh, you're not paying for the tires. Maybe that's why But uh, I always put them up. It has something for us when we get back It takes about 45 minutes 45 to 50 minutes to get home from here or not home But get back get this truck home. This is the exact same place. We were at yesterday Not the same drop-off at the exact same street a little bit of a blind corner here Because those trees block what's coming that way, but it gives us enough time But over here you got the road curving around that way So we're gonna go now and slowly watch this nobody's coming from there Looked like two cops part two of today pulling this box up to too long Let's roll those up before we forget signal's on first So we can check that they're working marker light and signal working Tires filled with air filled with air mudflap in place Marker lights working signals working for light signal light working over there all filled with air I love it. Okay. Look up. Don't forget always want to follow the rules How's it looking? Not too bad not too bad A quick sweeping will be on our way. I've seen a lot worse This means to look up at the latches there to make sure that they're latched in Because if you don't double check very often they don't actually latch in And then the trailer doors aren't secured going down the highway That's how I do Might get you ticket from one truck to the next Don't be mad at me. Okay I forgot you guys here I got over halfway home and I had to turn around and come back I thought I had you guys with the rest of my stuff and suddenly I figured you know what I had a feeling Maybe I should check it out So I pull over and I go through my stuff in the back Right here with my bag and everything My lunch kit and everything else and I could find everything except the camera I knew I had it in my hand. I knew I had it in my hand So I searched the whole truck Twice the only other place you guys could be Was the semi so I came all the way back here hoping Hoping that you guys would be here And yep, you guys had I guess fallen off of my or out of my bag or whatever onto the floor in the big truck You were just sitting there hanging out mind your old business having a good time Had no idea that you you were left behind nothing You guys got to stop doing that to me. Looks like they fixed the gate Yep I wonder if they fixed it themselves or if they had to get like the gate doctor to come in and Fix her up It's not the first time this gate is broken It's a big gate and you know, it gets used quite often. We have to keep it closed all day We can't just leave it open. We have to keep our yards secure So it's opening and closing opening closing opening closing every day day after day after day Tomorrow my whole day is marked out for me already There's a load of shingles. I have to deliver first thing in the morning into Winnipeg And then after that, there's two pickups. I got to go and get One up in too long one in our Berg again, that'll be on a roll tight trailer That'll probably take yeah, that'll take the whole day mostly I may have time for another like local delivery when I get back, but I'm guessing that's going to be the whole day So I like that. I like knowing what I'm doing the next day It's not that it matters. I mean I can find out in the morning too doesn't really matter At least now I know Where I got to be and when So let's go home I got everything this time for real At least I better If I forgot anything else, we'll get it in the morning. I'm not going back again
