 Morning everybody. It's another new day. We're in Brainerd, Minnesota. I am at my customer I have to deliver the lumber that I tarped on my trailer yesterday I'm gonna quickly get this off and we've got a rounder to do we're in a bit of a hurry when aren't we in a hurry We are truckers Not that by we I mean me and all of you. You're all truckers now You're all honorary truckers, especially if you've been watching me for the past 12 years If you haven't and you're new here welcome here, you're all welcome Go down below hit that subscribe button We make new videos all the time you can see what the life of a trucker is like What life of trucking is like through my eyes? Everybody has a different story. This is my story. I'm glad you're here. Stick around I'm gonna get this off my trailer and then we're gonna head up to thief river falls I've got a load to pick up there We're gonna bring that up to Manitoba in Canada near Winnipeg and then we're gonna head empty over to Kenora grab another one Of these tomorrow and come back down. So it's a little loop little loop to do Okay, I've got a rush here though. Okay, so I'll talk to you guys when I'm done real quick though This is the load I have on me special lumber has to be tarped Let's get those tarps off those places where we get unloaded indoors It's a beautiful day outside. So it doesn't really matter if I would get unloaded outdoors today But it's really nice in the wintertime to roll up your tarps and stuff in the cold and now that the trailer is empty I don't want it anymore. I don't like it as much There's another trailer waiting for us over there Thief River It has some stuff on it way better way better. It's a good trailer. Nothing's wrong with it runs well Runs smooth No issues with it. I just like it better when there's stuff on it So three three and a half hours somewhere in there, we're gonna get a fuel and pillager first Just down the road from here The powers that be that I am unloaded that I'm empty so that we're all on the same page We all know what's going on Josh has an empty trailer behind him. He doesn't like that. He doesn't like empty trailers behind him So he's gonna go pick up a loaded one now. Oh, and I gotta send a message to ask what trailer I'm close to pick up one second here Which trailer am I Grabbing auto correct What what trainer am I have having what? Which trailer am I? question mark send It was the first part of the day now that part of the day is over our day can officially begin Where's our trucker hat? Can't go trucking without a trucker hat. Come on One of each Nice and balanced. I like that at the same time. What are the chances of that? It was a good day, but it wasn't a great day Turn left on Washington street Pillager isn't too far down the road a little west of here. We usually stop there and grab fuel The cheapest fuel on the road between here and there So two years all off and I need to get a case. These are a work part. That's what I need to get that done already Start earning points Turn left on I never know which way to come into these pumps. I've seen guys come in both ways and there's no arrows. There's no signs So I guess either way works Either from this side or the other side. I don't know We're coming in from this side today Just feels right. I should be able to get back here tomorrow to fuel again. I kind of feel like We're supposed to come in the other way because usually the way I see it is Wherever the main pump is like there's a main pump and there's a satellite pump The main pump is usually on the driver's side. I think And right now the way I came in this way It's on the passenger side But there's no sign saying which way to come in and I've seen both like I said so We're doing it this way today. There's no one else here. We'll be in and out. We'll get out of here before anybody even notices All right, don't tell anybody Looks like we averaged about 6.43 miles per gallon Not too bad. This truck is usually between Six and seven 638 liters go to uh, what was it? 36.57 liter Leaders per hundred kilometers and straps holding this load down. We'll see I might not go all the way to canora tonight I might actually stop in Prada, Manitoba There's a bigger truck stop there with more parking if I go all the way to canora. There's very limited parking I could park at that co-op Down in town there closer to the lake. We're not supposed to park at the petro pass overnight Even though people do it all the time Nothing ever happens to them as far as I know, but there are signs up that we're not supposed to Arm me getting to my destination tomorrow if I stay In Manitoba or even at the rest area just into ontario. I could probably stay there too We're gonna get through the border here Get rid of this trailer. We're gonna grab another empty step deck if we can find a good empty step deck We can take a flat too if we have to but I I prefer step decks. They seem to ride smoother at least ours do they ride smoother and uh You can you can haul more types of freight I ain't gonna haul higher freight because the deck is lower. It's easier to tie loads down because again the deck is lower Maybe that's just me Is our new friend? Third trailer of the that's a good one. I think I told you I was gonna keep you up to date on these tires And I have an update. Okay. This inside rear driver side drive Was the one that had a flat I'm gonna need to get a flashlight to show you what I'm talking about though To bring you up to speed on a little bit of what I'm gonna show you here That tire is wearing down way faster than all the others now suddenly since I had that flat I realized though that the tire guy when he patched it He installed the tire the other way on the rim The way it was rolling forward before is now Rolling the other way right so the tire itself is rolling The other way than how it was broken That's the only thing I can find that's different and suddenly just on this trip It has been wearing down fast like crazy All right, check this out All the other tires have about the same tread as this right But this tire can you see the difference? And this just happened Recently on this trip since this tire was patched And turned and turned around so it was broken in the other way And then it was installed the other way, but it's it's not a directional tire. So that shouldn't matter right What's going on? Why would one tire be wearing faster than the other ones? But we can go around to all the other ones here too. These ones haven't worn down that much right It's just this one And see that those lines have been worn right down. You see that? What's going on? What could possibly be the cause of that? It has to be something to do with that tire patch because that's when it started And I almost it it looks like one edge of the tire is worn down quite a bit too That would have been the inside edge before that was getting worn down So now that it's flipped around that inside edge is on the outside And I'm guessing the tire wore a little crooked and now it's Wearing flat the other way so it's Okay, we get it. We know you're coming I'd honk back at it if I was in the truck. It's quite excessive, isn't it? There must be something on the tracks I wonder if there's like a deer or a moose or something on the tracks They don't usually honk that one whatever So in the comment section, I'd love to hear you guys what you guys think what What is your opinion? Why would one out of eight tires be wearing down so fast just after It being flipped When it was patched non-directional tire, it shouldn't matter which way it turns on the on the wheel I have to keep my eye on it That's strange. It's really strange I trust there's got to be some tire experts watching my video right now that could let me know why that would happen And what I can do to possibly fix that like do I need a rear axle alignment again? I just got a three axle alignment done last year. Do I need to do that every year? Should I do it again? The other tires all seem to be wearing just perfectly Even all the back tires other than that one just that one So do I need a rear axle alignment? What would you guys say? I'll be down in the comment section hearing what you experts have to say and all you armchair experts all of you I'll take all of your advice. Let's go see if we're straight We parked here in Prada, Manitoba Right on my straight Look at it from here. Count in Minnesota Then we'll see where to from there probably back home. Maybe we'll do the same rounder again. I don't know It'll be different because it'll be tomorrow and not today Each day is different. That's the beauty of this job every single day is different Be safe out there People are crazy. Keep your head up. Keep your stick on the ice And drive safe out there
