 We think you really know how fast I am. And you want to see how fast I am? Good morning, everybody. Today is Thursday morning when I am filming this. Wow, and my voice just cracked like I was 14 years old. Cool. We got that ball of fire coming up in the eastern sky over there. And we're about to go do some more training today. So just like yesterday, we're gonna be training on the Knuckleboom truck, loading and unloading poles. We can also load and unload crates and stuff. It works as a crane as well. It's pretty neat. And then after that, we're gonna train a little bit on the RGN trailer, the low bed trailer. I call it the low bed, but it's the RGN. That'll be pretty neat to show you how that all works. And then after that, I'm not sure. It sounded like we were just gonna be training in the morning today, but it might be an all day thing. Not sure, not sure, but Friday I might be going out with another guy for some hands-on training. Right now I need to get some coffee into my blood because it's necessary, because it's the morning time. It's a new day. And a new day deserves a fresh cup of coffee. We're looking for Chevy. Oh, I got him. I got him. I got him. Hey, Chevy, you wanna say hi to everybody? No, you're busy. You gotta find a good spot. He's got a load to deliver. He's going to a spot, I can tell. That's good, that's why we're out here. So good morning, everybody. Good morning. It's another day. It's Thursday when I'm filming this. And today is another day of training for me. I've got to finish up my training on the knuckle boom truck. We're gonna pick more stuff up and put it back down. We're gonna unload poles. And then they wanna train me on the RGN trailer, which is what I call the low bed trailer. It's for hauling heavy equipment and stuff like that. And it sounded like that was only gonna take us half the day. But maybe he meant we were gonna work on the knuckle boom for half the day and then RGN for half the day. I don't think it'll take half the day for the RGN to train on that low bed. It only takes like an hour. I'm pretty sure that's what he told me. So it might just be a half day of training. Guess I'll just have to show up and find out. Chevy, are you done? Chevy? Chevy? It's a beautiful morning out here. I love summer mornings. I lost my dog. He disappeared. He's gotta be here somewhere. There he is. You're gonna need that shovel, dad. I'm sorry. We're up to it right now, actually. Can you see it back there? We just finished our training on that. So lunchtime, I'm getting hungry. I'm gonna go and drop this wagon in the back where it belongs. And I'll take you guys along with me for that. You guys can see me do it on my own with no supervision for the very first time. I'm hungry. I usually have some snacks in the morning time on a regular day. Not the heavy, heavy equipment, but you know, heavy equipment, trucks, broken down trucks, medium heavy duty. It will put me to work on it in the future. Good points. On this trailer are rated at 11,000 pounds. Oh, hey, somebody parked a different trailer in my spot already. It was supposed to go right here that somebody else parked in my spot. I'm gonna leave the spot open for five minutes and somebody fills it up. Oh, find another spot for it, I guess. It was parked right here. So I got it in line with this trailer here. I'm wondering if I should line it up because now there's not enough room to park anything in here, but they might need this space to get back there, you know? It won't take too long. It's gotta be straight. It's gotta be straight. I'm not gonna sleep tonight when I don't get my sleep. See, these trailers aren't straight. I'm straight, very close, very close. Good enough, whatever. I'm not moving it again. Once those trailers get pulled out, they'll line them up with this then. Then we'll all be straight, or maybe they won't, and they'll all just always be crooked. There's that option too. Now, we need one big block and a two by four underneath here. We'll do the same thing on the other side. Whoever had dropped it last when it was still over there had dropped it a little bit too low. And we had quite a difficult time getting my fifth wheel under the gooseneck. They didn't put this in there as well. Dropping it a little bit lower, I mean higher, pardon me, than the last people did. Just so that the next person doesn't have that same pain in the butt. So I'm gonna start the engine. This is a gasoline powered motor. Turn the fuel on, so we always turn the fuel off. Turn that on. Now we're gonna drop the airbags on the truck. Let this rest down just a little bit. We should be able to just leave it there. Drop the air in the truck. Wait for the airbags to go down a little bit, cells out. Yeah, and you see in the fifth wheel won't have any problems getting underneath there the next time. This trailer is the way we load it. Is this gooseneck comes right off here. People who, drivers, you guys know what I'm talking about already. I'm talking to the people right now that I've never seen this before. This whole gooseneck right here, it comes right off and it stays on the truck when you're hooked up. So if I was hooked up to here right now, I could detach it from here and put this right down to the ground so that you can drive machinery right up here onto the deck. So you drive it right up the front. This whole thing gets stuck onto the truck. And then when you're done loading, with that still attached to your truck, you back in here, put it in the stirrups there, lock it in place, you lift it back up off the ground and that's how you load these trailers. Today in training, we didn't load anything, but I'm sure that they will be sending me out with this shortly in the next little while or whenever they need something, right? So when that happens, I'll be able to show you guys how we load and unload these trailers. It's pretty cool. It's very different from these tin can aluminum trailers. These trailers mean business. They're heavy duty. And if you didn't watch yesterday's video, you should go back and watch it. In Canada, I know that in the US, you're probably looking at like, what is this? This is what we use in Canada as an over dimension, like oversize load sign. In the US, I believe you have to actually have the words oversize load on a yellow background. In Canada, those work too, but you can also use this. It's your D signs. Means danger, over dimension load. Watch out. This trailer just by itself is over dimension. It's nine feet wide. It's wider than most trailers. So you always gotta have your flags on the front corners and the back corners, even when you're empty. It's been a fun day, a fun morning of training. I'm done all my training. Looking forward to being sent out in 3106. That's the blue truck. This truck is 3,006. That's my unit number, 3006. The blue truck is 3106. Very similar. So 30 odd six, this one. Or 3006, whatever you wanna say. And 3106. I'm looking forward to actually going out in the field to an actual customer and loading up poles and doing some crane work off the truck for an actual customer instead of just here practicing in the yard. We actually haul these Polos all over Manitoba, way up north as well. I know we go to Thompson with them. We go on the ice roads. So I'm gonna be, there's a good chance I'll be doing ice roads this winter. I don't know for sure what they'll need me for, but I'm open to the possibility because I've never done that before yet. And I'd also love the opportunity to show you the viewers here what real ice road trucking is all about. Forget the TV show. Forget that. That's Hollywood. Yeah, they have a producer. They got camera crews. They got medics on scene. Helicopters going around. If anything goes wrong, help is there right away, right? In real life, you're out there on your own or maybe with one other truck. And if something goes wrong, help is hours away if you even got a cell signal where you're at. It's not as glamorous. Some days I'm sure are pretty boring because obviously for the TV show, I'm not knocking the TV show to see it. I'm not knocking it all. It's a great show. I love it. It's a great show. But it's a TV show. It's produced for entertainment purposes. There's all these things that always pop up. There's always some kind of drama on the show, right? Or there's always problems that they gotta deal with. And that's true. There are problems, but when you're out there on your own, it's a little different than when you have a big camera crew following you and a big medical helicopter ready to help at a moment's notice. So when I go up there, what I'm trying to say is it's going to be real ice road trucking that you can watch here. So don't forget to subscribe and stick around because we make videos almost every day here. We're in the heat of summer right now, but winter's coming and that means as ice roads are gonna be opening and you don't wanna miss seeing what it's really like up there.
