 time to check out for last night here it's got my invoice for it $593 four nights here I would usually pick a much cheaper motel this was the only one in last one available so ouch but we have the truck back we got it back last night if you haven't seen yesterday's video you got to go back and see that I'm gonna jump in the truck we've got load waiting for us we're gonna pick up our trailer go pick up the load and book it to Calgary it's gonna feel good to be rolling again got everything packed up here already I'm not even gonna make the bed right diesel garbage is overflowing it's time to get out of here alright diesel and bring him to the truck first I take it for a walk first then bring him to the truck start it my room key yep but it's the first test let's go see if the truck will start this morning so starting the truck today will be the first time testing it since all the battery work was done in the shop this past few days hopefully we don't have any more problems for a long time right diesel I'll walk diesel first priorities right this Silverado must be an employee here something or something because it's been here every day since I've been here and I've seen it I've seen it leave like I've seen him drive out with it so I know that it's not just parked here that is a nice truck if I ever got another truck it'd be one just like that well I'll say in the other day it has to have the LED front headlights with the bow tie come on diesel hurry up and sniff away buddy I want to go start my truck alright diesel moment of truth what do you think man what do you think a little sluggish okay but okay the new batteries haven't been fully charged yet all the lights are gonna go off eventually here come on there we go beautiful beautiful I have LED front marker lights and my truck doesn't know that yet so it thinks that there's no bulbs in there that's why it says that warning message at the beginning just said LED bulbs okay while we're running let this thing warm up I'll go get our bags and stuff diesel and we'll be on our way alright everybody so empty trailer hooked up to it again we're ready to go and make some money hopefully let's go get our load still no error codes on here while I was in the shop they also fixed my radio for me which was really nice of them I can get my satellite radio working again finally it's been so long really appreciated that okay let's all pray that there's no more problems for a long time oh I got a punch into my GPS where we're going where we going here we're picking up a load but that same load of like pipes and stuff right I hauled it like a month ago we're gonna haul it again through the Calgary you got to wash it when you get to Calgary inconvenient and then we got a load of lumber that's taking us to Minnesota and then we got another load after that lined up so we're gonna be working hard working hard because we're gonna go to Abbotsford pick this load up in Abbotsford maybe my GPS will remember this address because we've been there sometimes it does help there it is yep all right okay a little nervous we really can't afford anything else to break on this truck right now you have 13 hours and zero minutes of remaining drive time time test here make sure my trailer is not gonna fall off the last thing I need hooked on there good okay good truck was safety end of January so we had a lot of work done to make my truck safe and battery stuff got fixed turbo actuator got fixed new batteries right on these on other these roads are not the truck right on 96 Avenue built the truck dealership on a road that is not built for trucks like it shouldn't take too long to load me as long as there's not a lineup no specific time just tomorrow early as possible we just got back on the roads you're already interrupting me look at motorcycle in February March when you're watching this look at that in Canada you know hey if we can make it over the mountains no problems that'll make me feel a lot better now let's just try to get out of the city I wish I could have a couple of pilot vehicles to get traffic out of my way that'd be great much easier that would make it so this guy behind him in the Dodge pickup here behind this oversized load he's the guy who manages traffic behind him so when the guy's got to make a wide turn or when he needs two lanes like this this pickup is called the the follow vehicle it's like a pilot vehicle I believe pilot vehicles goes in the front but they manage the traffic to make sure that no cars try to sneak in where they shouldn't right doesn't understand the oversize load thing and he keeps trying to sneak past him you see that he's trying to do it again still trying to sneak past him you can't do that they need both lanes it's getting all bad as if it's you know the driver's fault that his load is oversized I'm watching speed past kept trying to cut in I don't understand people like this guy's got flashing lights a big yellow sign above his truck oversize load and he doesn't get it he doesn't understand why he's taking up two lanes I don't get it why is he so big I don't get it why can't I occupy the same space as him 200 meters turn left on 88 when man take the freeway entrance into 100 meters so when you see this situation if you're in in situation like this just don't pressure them you know this guy's not trying to be a jerk in this pickup he's just trying to make sure that no one gets hurt because if that van were to sneak past him and get in between let's say that oversize load in front of him and a barrier he could get squished hurt or killed you know this guy's here to make sure everybody's safe so just stay behind them if they want you to pass they'll make a lane clear for you and they'll make it obvious that you can pass if they don't want you to pass they'll make it obvious because they'll cut you off and won't let you pass just don't get angry at them they're just they're trying to keep you safe I mean if the load is big enough they'll actually put police behind they're doing this job but since the load's not that that wide that that big they don't require a police escort these guys do the job then I mean it's pretty self-explanatory I don't think anyone really needs to explain that to most people right some people they still need to they still need that little heads up hey you could die if you if you try to squeeze in there you're not that in that much of a hurry right no matter where you're going you're gonna get there faster than if you die right just bomb down watch this guy he's gonna try to get around the corner here we didn't make it again these lights are so short they pick up nose I'm not gonna try to come up the side then so he's not even trying to block me he knows I get it must be a little stressful pulling an oversized load with constant four wheelers and cars around you that don't understand life itself and constantly try to like almost kill themselves trying to get around you because they're so impatient be stressful you don't want anyone to get hurt it's almost like people want to hurt themselves they're in such a hurry they gotta get to Starbucks you know Tim Wharton's so I'm finally getting loaded here and boy have I got a story to tell you later 15 kilometers 10 miles from Volvo my engine light popped on again I'll explain the whole story later but short in short I had to go back to Volvo spent the day there getting a sensor replaced another $1,100 and I just about lost this load too but I called these people and the people here were so kind and generous to stay late to get me loaded they're not supposed to be here now they they're giving up their time at home right now so that they can get me loaded really nice people and I appreciate it so much you know it's been a small break it's a small break to an expensive week we're now up to about $10,000 that we spent on this truck in the last month almost well 60 600 or so no 60 6500 just this weekend on the truck so this is the load he's just loading her up on the other side there right now at the back I want to close to the back end right now that's where he's working really nice

not still above the minimum line but this line is new this cap is new all that coolant is new what they replaced in the shop now was this turbo actuator it was seized so that's new that's a $1400 part two so they do these are the batteries they cleaned all of the terminals for all of the electric or all the batteries it's stung this this month really stung but you'll hear me say that a few times yet but that's okay it's okay pain is a good thing it makes you be thankful and grateful for the things you have and the good things that happen when a whole bunch of bad happens all at once even the smallest little good thing means a whole lot like the shipper yesterday staying late to load me my load that meant a lot this has been a bad week and it's just nice to catch even a small break they
