 Hey everybody Roy Isaac here from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan You're watching TJV trucker Josh on YouTube. Hey, everybody. Just enjoying my sausage and a crock. What happened? I don't know diesel. He's a awesome egg One second buddy welcome egg. There you go Good for you. Good boy. Lucky you What else trying to say is I'm enjoying my sausage and egg croissant. It's delicious We're at the truck stop the Senex here just outside of Wasso, Wisconsin This is my best friend right now Give me a minute That was utterly delicious as they say I Still haven't figured out who they are, but they sure talk a lot. They say a lot so Done my prey trip. Everything's looking good all the tires are filled with air all The brakes work all the lights work Trailer is connected. I'm just gonna make double sure right now. We're gonna move forward a little bit We're gonna put it in gear first because that always helps And pull the trailer brake and the trailer is not going to fall off Well We're good. They engage properly They release properly on my signals work My e-log is up to date I'm awake my seatbelts on Diesel's good to go got my coffee ate my breakfast wipers work Fantastic and hey before we go I want to show you this let me take you out of here. Excuse me. Excuse me guys That bug deflector is actually I think it's doing quite a good job I've been looking at other people's windshields who don't have bug deflectors around here And they have tons more bugs in their windshield than I do and you can sort of see how the bugs only start like here now I don't know if you can see that or not. It was like a fine line Like it doesn't cover the whole windshield, but right where my camera is anyways It definitely does help keeps bugs out of your face So that's one of the reasons I got it. I got it first of all because it looks cool looks awesome but also because I wanted to keep bugs out of the way of my camera because they always hit right in front of the Camera now it sort of gets shot up over the camera. So that's good Less bugs for you guys to stare at you're welcome Let's get out of here And the e-log kicks me into driving. All right, we are officially on our 14 hour day Well, technically we were when I started my pre-trip, but that I can mess around with the The the driving part of my day. I cannot mess around with once my wheels roll. I cannot take that back Don't take back sees Kind of foggy out this morning. Hey, Wisconsin. What you doing? Why are you hiding? See on a day like today, I could understand when people turn on their fog lights, you know, cuz there's that there's fog Around there's fog out today So many times people have these bright HID fog lights on unlike the clearest of nights. I don't know I guess they think they look cool. I don't know What I was a kid I used to do that too And I realized that it was unnecessary Anyway, let's I'm all checked in in the back here Now I got to get these tarps off as fast as possible so they can unload me And just like that before I could even finish rolling up my straps They had me all empty So I've got my tarps Tied down all the way to back here. I'm not gonna need them for my next load So I'll just transfer them on to the next trailer because my next load is already preloaded. It's waiting for me So all I got to do is go there throw those tarps in that trailer tie them down tie that load down Let's hope that it's a simple load and not too intricate Some of the steel loads are real easy. They're just like straight beams all the same size right and others are All kinds of mismatched pieces with some little pieces thrown in the middle and all kinds of low-gauge steel that can bend easily We won't know till we get there Let's get her done as they say a Little bit later So that's my load Easy enough. They got the ropes hanging through on The center beams there just so I can pull straps through underneath that top piece strap the lower part down and strap the top piece down On top of everything else. This shouldn't take too long. This is a nice load Apparently they got me crossing at Emerson Manitoba though, which is an hour further around than going through North Portal So I sent him a message see if they can get that changed. If not, then we'll go through Emerson They'll be going straight there Two and a half day drive with us up to Camrose, Alberta Somebody up there now Bertha needs some good old Wisconsin steel Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit My delivery appointment time got changed on me I'm actually okay with it this time We were gonna be in a little bit of a rush like I said It's two and a half days of driving to get up to Alberta and we had pretty much exactly two and a half days to get there Which could easily be done, but you know, it would be a little rushed My delivery appointment time now just got changed to Tuesday at 8 30. So we have a whole other 24 hours so we don't want to drag our feet too badly, but We don't have to rush so much So that's a good thing so that's why they wanted me to cross through at Emerson and not at North Portal See I might even be able to go home. That's probably why they did that for me just in case I wanted to go home I don't know if I'll have time for that yet, but I Might you know think about it. I don't know. I don't know yet But my delivery appointment time got changed Tuesday now anyway, so we'll deliver Tuesday morning Get a reload Tuesday afternoon Be home Wednesday evening Truck will go in the shop Thursday And hopefully I can leave Friday or Saturday on a new trip again Hmm. All right Well That's that I'm gonna go tie my load down now I have to be all dressed up with these fancy sleeves and everything here because you know this fabric will save my arm from getting cut by steel This is steel retardant fabric Can't get out of my truck without having my good cloth Steel protectors on my arms wouldn't want my arms getting cut I don't know how this is gonna stop steel, but hey, it's their policy. It's their policy, right? Whatever They make the rules. I just show up and pick up my freight. So while I'm here on their property. I have to follow their rules Sort of like when I come to visit the US when I'm in their territory and on their land I have to follow their rules Want to go back to Canada? I'm free again, right? No, not quite. I have a couple more Couple more rules up there Though as a truck driver, I have more freedoms in Canada. Isn't that interesting? There's more freedoms and I can get further and hold more weight and make more money Trucking in Canada than I would be able to if I just did trucking in the US So I guess there's good points to both countries. I like them both. They're both awesome Canada has treated me well I'm not throwing all the strap over this here yet, but I'm almost done Throwing straps over this yet. I just got to tighten them all Throw another couple over the back, but I want to show you how this works You see they got ropes that they leave on here for you you tie your strap to it, right? And I've already tied the strap to it Over there you see it. There's the rope And it's tied to the strap just like that so all I got to do pull this and you see it's gonna Come all the way up and through here Around here. It's supposed to anyway. Come on. Come on girl. Yeah over here. I don't know why it's a girl But hey, there you are see now. I got a strap through here Underneath that top piece there see that So I always put my straps on this load as close to the dunnage as possible because you want all of the pressure of the strap and all Of the the weight load from the strap on the dunnage, right? So I put The one over the top just on this side of the damage one's going through there. I'm gonna move that one Right against the dunnage there so that all the pressure is just pushing all the way down that whole system Let's try another one. I hooked this one up over there, too. You can see that it's Connected see the rope over there There goes the strap and now you just Give her a good pull Bit of a longer rope grab it again pull it again, and there it is You got a strap going through there They do this because we're not allowed to get on the trailer at all here Like I'm not even allowed to stand on the trailer deck if they see me doing that I get in trouble and if I keep doing it and eventually they kicked me out of here and I can't come back and I Lose all the pretty zeros and numbers that are attached to these loads. So Just got to do what they ask. I guess I'm gonna continue getting these straps over this. I'm gonna tighten those straps And then we're gonna continue on down meandering our way towards up towards Alberta Got lots of time to get there now. Oh, I haven't even connected my trailer yet. I Was just gonna say all right. Let's go and release the trailer brakes Wouldn't know worked the trailer's not even connected yet Shoot and I got all changed already Well, I'm just gonna quickly go out there connect the connect the airlines and Rush back in we got to get going everything's tied down now We got a long time to get there a lot of time to get there and yeah, nothing else to say Let's get back on the road and off we go on another adventure these a lot cows You see that Or was there more there might have been more man. You might be hiding in your voice. I know No, we can't turn around can't turn we can't turn. Where do you think I can turn around right here? I don't know You want to go say hi? No, we cannot those ones. Okay next time No, we're the park here, buddy.
