 Hi, this is Brandon Moore. I'm from North Adderborough, Massachusetts, and you're watching DJV Trucker Josh vlogs on YouTube Monday morning everybody. It's a beautiful sunshiney morning. Let's say it's gonna be a beautiful day. Hope you had a good weekend Get back to trucking Got us a tri-axle 53-foot roll tight today Got to bring this up to Woodlands, Manitoba Which is northwest of Northwest of Winnipeg, yeah, up highway six, I believe. Got a whole load of this steel Looks heavy. Just gonna walk around here and check all the straps. Make sure that they're still tight All the way down here to the back Some more space on the other side Probably took the most difficult way, right? Let's check this all out I'm still gonna wash these trailers on the inside tight tight Whoever brought this in was really diligent with the straps. That's good to see Everything is very tight as it should be with a load like this This load's probably pretty heavy. I'll check the paperwork, but it's pretty heavy There we go and usually this load would have to be tarped, right? Hence the roll tight. I love these trailers I really do they can be a real pain in the butt sometimes like they can be a Especially in wintertime and when the rollers aren't working properly and you got to be careful with them because they're really fragile So you can't force them to do anything. They don't want to do you sort of got to sit there and talk them through it and convince them to open and close sometimes or sometimes you need two guys, but Definitely is worth it to me really It's just easier than tarping so much easier. Look at this It's cut my tarp jobs that I have to do down almost a hundred percent like 95 percent Rarely ever have to tarp a load now. We still do tarping but compared to what we used to do Rare very rare. So just remember when you hook up to a trailer that somebody else loaded Whoever did this did a fantastic job but Never trust anyone Okay, doesn't matter who tied it down when you hook on to a new trailer go in there and check it all Okay, because I've missed things before too when I'm loading other people miss things to double-check my work I'll double-check yours because now that I'm hooked on to this load this load is mine So if there's anything wrong with it My responsibility can't blame it on the guy before me. Oh, he didn't tie it down, right? So when I tie a low-down, I leave it in the yard here and you hook on to it make sure you double-check it Make sure I didn't miss anything You can see the door behind me there in the in my mirrors I've got a back in there inside the building They're just clearing space right now and making room for me and then I back into the building They close the door I open the trailer and then there's a big overhead crane that rolls along the top of the building and They lift the steel off Off the trailer and put it on the ground beside the trailer and then when I'm done I close up the trailer and I drive out Easy as that and it's all indoors. I really like these receivers and shippers when they do this And it's one of the only ways to unload such heavy and large pieces of steel otherwise you'd need a massive forklift outside and It kind of defeats the purpose because if it's raining you can't unload or load the trailer then because this steel can't get wet That's why it's in a covered trailer And you can't put it in a van trailer because they have to look unload it from the top because there's no way to Unload it from the back and pull it out the back. It's too heavy They could probably create some kind of system for that, but it's just easier this way so once they open that door behind me there they're gonna guide me in and I'm gonna start unloading Shouldn't take too long once I'm in there We're all backed in now. I got everything open got all the straps off the load ready to roll up here out of their way We got a big overhead crane in there that comes up over the load and picks it up there It's pretty neat Make sure you roll up all your straps nice You always got to remember when you're working around cranes Always wear your brain bucket You don't want anything falling on you. Not like this would do much to prevent injury from These things they're pretty heavy, but you know just in case oh here comes the crane right now Can you see it already? There it is Big ten ton crane and they have a fork with their helpings well probably just gonna take the top one off And then we'll take the lower layers off with the crane I'm gonna roll up my straps in the meantime so that when they're done I'm ready to go It's pretty neat how things work, okay? It was a little bit different than I thought it that I thought it would be I thought they were gonna unload it right off the truck with the overhead crane They were actually unloading one little bundle at a time with a forklift Putting it on the ground then picking it up with that overhead crane and then putting it away into storage on the other side of the Building over there so lifting it up and over all the other stuff and then putting it behind I guess maybe rotating their stock so that the older stuff gets used sooner Sort of what it looked like anyways, but Pretty neat either way. I get to see that kind of thing all the time Makes the job fun when it's something different every day Now I don't know what the rest of the day has planned. It's About one o'clock or so By the time I get back, it'll be two Maybe we'll do one more thing today and Some pretty big news everybody. I'm gonna try not to get all choked up while I tell you this Because I got pretty choked up when I got the news myself Ah How can I say this? This Peterbilt is soon going to be replaced by a Kenworth W900 In this shop. I just bought the truck I've wanted For 26 years Let's clarify something. We haven't signed the paperwork yet But we have all of the eyes dotted all of the T's crossed. I've gotten my approval I've gotten everything together that I need to have together And we've gotten all green lights as of four o'clock today, I Am buying a 2008 Kenworth W900 L see me flat top sleeper or mid roof what they call it It's blue to match my motorcycle and I've wanted this for 26 years Since I was eight years old when I decided I'm gonna be a truck driver one day I've owned a couple of trucks in the past already, but it's never been the one It's always been a truck of convenience a truck. That's available now I've owned a couple of trucks in the past. I've leased one. I've owned one and I know what headaches await me in the future, but this one's different. This is a headache that I chose hand-picked I Found the truck the truck. I'm so excited to show you guys Hopefully within a week. I can show it to you and do the big reveal Here on my channel But this is a this is big big for me Other than you know getting married and meeting my wife Career-wise as a truck driver This is going to be the biggest day of my life when I take that truck home and I got couches in my shop Have you noticed I almost forgot to tell you that who cares about that right? I'm getting the Kenworth W900, but there's a couch is here who cares about that Kenworth So Yeah, I want to have it up and running by June 1st So we got to get plates. We got to get registration licensing if we got to get decals or as you Americans call it decals They get the truck all All done up with those and I'm going to be running as an owner operator on regional fleet at Keystone Western. So I'll be home every weekend Most likely home one string the week to most weeks Depending on how much money we want to make It's a 2008 It's got a rebuild about 600,000 kilometers ago a full rebuild on the engine everything done That's So it's got about another three four years on the engine before I have to start thinking about rebuilding it again Yeah, I'm Almost speechless right now. I'm I don't know what to say when I got the approval at like four o'clock It was like 402 that will be a time that will live in infamy in my mind at 402. I got the phone call and they said Josh She's yours All you got to do is come in and sign and you can take her home So hopefully next weekend or so. Maybe we can do a tour show you guys the truck I have so many plans for the truck what we're going to be doing with this truck and the reason I'm so excited. We're going to be building it into a show truck I'm gonna take it to as many shows as I can as I can afford to go to because I still got to make money so we're gonna have to pay for it and We're gonna build it from the ground up build it and Stretch the frame We'll worry about all of that later. We can talk about that at a later date right now. Let's just get it here I've got these coaches here not because we've got new coaches coming in the house, right? I've got these coaches here now where we can just sit right here and stare at it as soon as it gets here This Peter built I've shined up quite a bit. I'm actually kind of proud of the work. I've done to it It is better than I found it and the next driver who gets into it will have a better nicer looking truck Then I got into when I got into it. That was my goal leave things better than you found. Always make them better Whatever it is you get given something to use take care of it and make it better in in some way Even if it's just small or if it's bigger like this That's my big news I got through it without choking up so that's good that means I'm doing it Very excited. I'm very excited. We're gonna be back on the road another Big exciting thing is that diesel is gonna be back in the truck with me as soon as that thing's on the road Me and diesel will be back on the road We won't be going as long distance as we did in the beginning long ago. I have a family at home now and we're gonna grow that and we're Looking to have a couple of children as you guys know. We're building a house. That's still on Track we want to build by 2027. Don't worry buying a truck doesn't slow that down. It doesn't affect that at all We're still good because the truck makes you money So that's still on track. We're still gonna be building a house and starting a family And I'm gonna be home every weekend and probably once during the week as well We'll see how it goes, but I'm very very happy Brits happy. There's the big news Surprise, but I am gonna leave you hanging on a few things. I'm not gonna show you any pictures yet My family and close friends have seen it already but I want you to stay tuned because as soon as we sign the paperwork and I take possession of it I'm gonna do a tour of it This is starts a whole new chapter on my channel here as well because we're going to be building this truck into a Show truck together here on this channel. I want you guys to be involved in it So what I want to do is I want to come up with a list of modifications and improvements I want to do to the truck and You're gonna have a say in what happens to the truck I'm gonna make a list of things. This is what I'd like to do to the truck. What should we do first? What should we do next? You'll have a say in that we'll have a vote and together we'll build this truck My dad wants to help me build this truck as well. So here in this shop is probably we're all Everything's gonna happen so whatever me and my dad can do together we're gonna do and We'll do it right here on YouTube with you as well And if you guys want us to do stacks first Well, then we go and do the stacks we'll go buy the stacks and I'll take you guys along when we go buy them as we bring Them here and the whole process of installing them and Then we'll do a vote see what we do next.

You don't want to miss it. What is this? Oh, it feels nice on my face. So could it be? sunlight So I'm in a good mood Just want to wrap this up. I know my vlogs lately have been Lacking compared to what they have been in the past I've had a lot of things going on. Obviously we bought a truck I'm gonna wait to give you the tour of it though. I'm gonna be trying to release my videos Every day like the next day now cuz right now I'm filming a video this video is from Monday So it would usually be released the following Monday and I really don't like doing that because then It feels very I feel very disconnected You know, especially when I go read the comments that the vlog is new for you guys But for me it happened a week ago already, so I'm reading your comments I'm trying to relate to what you're commenting on I'm got to think back and remember what happened that day and It's confusing for me. It's confusing for you. The only reason I do it is because it's very convenient It's very nice to be able to you know get back at the end of a very long day and not have to edit I still have a video to go up tomorrow because it's last week's video and then I can edit all my videos on the weekend instead of every evening Freeze up my evenings during the week, but it bogs down my weekends So I don't have a full day on the weekend is just gone to Editing videos whereas if I just spent like a couple of hours every day my evenings are gone But then I have my weekend. It's trying to decide what works best for me here And I'm gonna have gone back and forth like this over the last ten years and so we're so quite a few times And I think we're gonna go back to releasing the next day So you're gonna get a vlog dump this long weekend may long weekend I'm when I'm filming this clip right here. It's Sunday of may long weekend. You guys have a may long weekend where you are We do now with the date to May 21st something Beautiful weekend out here though So you're gonna get a vlog dump today and tomorrow from all of last week and then we're gonna start Releasing videos from the day before so when you watch a video on Tuesday that will be my day from the day before Monday you'll watch Tuesday so you get Immediate like that's as quickly as I can do it because I still have to you know Live the day film it and then edit it and then release it at a time when you guys are mostly all of you are awake So that we could watch it and you don't miss it and it doesn't get lost in your feed So that's we're gonna try that it's a little bit more Go go go for me that way, but I think it'll free up my weekends more Either way I got to get these videos edited right neither way. It's a lot of work, but I've been doing this for a long time It's something I really enjoy doing so we're not gonna stop So I just got to decide when when I want to do my work Kind of nice I'm sort of self-employed with this year. Thank you very much for Putting up with all the ads that you see here on YouTube all of the money. We've made from that in the past a Year or so has gone towards our IVF procedure And we're still Waiting on that there's still a few more things we got to go through so there's no news on that yet But the money we've made off that has gone towards that So I appreciate your patience with all of the ads that you've been seeing in my videos. They help us out for that and in the future a lot of that money is going to be going towards this new truck and Getting it ready for shows new accessories. Well, we'll see what happens really The truck is the big news though and right now I'm just waiting to take possession of it everything's done finished and We should have it. I'm thinking by the end of this week. There's just a bunch of work that has to be done to it first They got to get it safety. He's changing the transmission fluid Diff fluid putting a new bumper on the front for me because that one that was on there was bent Polishing the truck Then we got to get it licensed and everything takes a few days Get the decals on there. So Coming soon, but I'm not gonna share what it looks like until I actually have it That's that I'm gonna leave you in suspense and I got to leave some suspense I couldn't keep my mouth shut about buying it, but I got to leave something something for you to wait for, right? Yeah, it's exciting. Let's see how we do with this next day vlog thing if it doesn't work for me We'll just go back to the week a week later But I do like it better Doing it the next day that that is my preferred way It's just a little little more work for me during the week, but it's okay. We'll see what happens. Thanks for tuning in everybody Don't forget to hit that subscribe button, especially now.
