 Morning everybody. Headingly flying Jay right where we went to bed last night. Us and our dirty windshield are still here. A lot of people are gone already though. We got here about two in the morning. To this video I was gonna make it more about trucking and I was going to go pick up this trailer and this morning it was gonna be a whole big, you know, whole big vlog. That didn't create as many vlogs this last week because I was at home getting all blue looked after and also spending time with my family. It was a long weekend. August long. So it was good. It was really nice to have that time. It was an unscheduled vacation you can call it that. I wasn't planning on it but it just happened. Nothing we could do about it but I'm not complaining. I really enjoyed it. It's nice to have those every now and then. So I'm back in the truck. Today we're gonna go pick up a load of concrete and Winnipeg. We're bringing it to York and Saskatchewan. That way. West. Once we drop it there we come back empty. We're gonna pick up another one. We're gonna do that three times. Three loads. Not gonna be able to do it all in one day. We're trying to get it done by the end of the week. Today when I'm filming this is a Wednesday. So these videos come out a little bit later. It takes me a little bit of time to put them all together. You understand. You've been here a long time. I've been making videos for a long time. So sit back, relax. Hit that like button. Hit that subscribe button so you don't miss when my videos do go out. You can go to my playlists on my channel on my main page and see all of my videos all the way back to 2011. Let's get going. I'm here for my first of three loads. It's gonna be a load just like that one over there. But more. So we're gonna be heavy. There he goes right there with two of them. I'm gonna throw as many as they can on my trailer and I'm gonna head off to this sketch one. Dressed in my Sunday best. Start the day off right. Not too sure how many of those things are gonna throw on me. But I picked up a load similar to this in Edmonton ones. It was Edmonton, right? Right? I think so. They're pretty easy to tie down. They're usually two layers. And the top layer holds down the bottom layer. You'll see once I get it loaded and stuff. But we got to get out of here. Well, then again, I'm not really in a big rush. I got to deliver it in the morning in Yorkden. And let's see how far is Yorkden from here? Let's ask the all my Internet. The knower of all things. Yorkden. It's a sketch one. It's the next province west from here. It's not that far. 472 kilometers. Hold on there, my American friends. Hold on. I know how to speak American to. What did I say? 472? 472 divided by 1.61. 293 miles. I go there and I come straight back. I don't think I'm gonna get there in time to get unloaded today. Maybe though. Yeah, maybe. Depends how long they want to stay there. It's gonna take a little while to load me. They gotta load each piece one at a time, maybe two at a time. It's gonna take a little while to unload me. I'm guessing just from experience, they're probably gonna want to unload me first thing in the morning tomorrow, which is fine. But then I'm only driving about 300 miles today. And then tomorrow we get unloaded first thing in the morning there. We rush back 300 miles back here empty. That's okay, because we're in a hurry. We got to get back here, pick up another load. Same thing. Go right back to where we delivered that last one. So that'll be 300 here, 300 back. That's a 600 mile day, or like 9,000 kilometers or so, something like that. Full day. Pretty good. Pretty good day. We'll rush back here. Get loaded. Rush back there. Sleep there. Unload the next morning and then do it again. Rush back here. Get loaded. And then that's gonna be a Friday though. So I might have to take that load home and then deliver that on Monday, depending on if they're at their site on Saturday. If they're there and on their site and able to unload me Saturday morning, that'd be great, because then I'd go delivered Saturday morning and then go home for a reset and then start on something new on Monday. This is all stuff we're gonna figure out as we go along. We're just gonna focus on load number one of three right now. Once we get loaded, we'll know what we're dealing with. We'll tie it down. We'll get out there. We'll talk to our contact when we get there and then kind of figure out how the rest of the week's gonna go with these three loads and when they want to unload that last one. It says in my computer here where all of my information is that I'll be unloading it Monday morning. We'll see. Maybe I can use my persuasion skills to be unloaded on Saturday if they're on site. But chances are it's Saturday, they're not gonna be on site. Okay, so we're just gonna assume that they're not gonna be, but we're gonna keep our fingers crossed and hope that they will be. That's okay. If I got delivered Monday, that's fine. That means that I go home. I come here on a load on Friday afternoon and then I go home for Saturday and then Sunday I'll head out there, sleep there and then Monday morning unload. Either way, I either spend Saturday at home or I spend Sunday at home. We don't have any plans this weekend, I don't think. If we do, my wife has definitely told me at least five times in the last four days already. I don't think we have plans this next weekend, so it doesn't matter which day I'm home on. I'll have to double check with the boss at home to make sure we don't, but I'm pretty sure because this last weekend I was already at home for unscheduled amount of time. Rest of the month, I'm just gonna want to go, go, go, go. I don't want to make any definite plans to be home. I'll just get home when I get home and enjoy my time when I'm there, but I think we need to chase those dollars. You know, we chased them all the way north. We got them and then we got all the way back south and I lost them again because I had to fix stuff. So now we got to go make more. We got to go find more dollars and there's three loads full of dollars here for me, so we'll start with these. The guy over there is now done loading and they were just loading one more of the local guys around here somewhere and then they were gonna come and get me. They got tons of these things everywhere, all along here, all along there. You can see in my mirror there's more behind me there yet. A little bit more slippery through the wind because it's so low to my trailer. A lot of wind grabbing me still exactly against wind that I am a brick wall headed right into the wind. That is, that's a fact. I just noticed now that I'm going right into the wind. Okay, so we're not doing too bad. I'm in a doce already. So it was quite involved. 35 concrete pipes or sections of pipe took a little bit to tie it down, but we got it done and we're on the way. We're stopping here for a quick break and get back on the road. We are sitting pretty heavy, but not even close to overweight with this trotter. So on the back here I've got this chain on this dunnage and it's tight. You can see it. They've got it to bite into the wood. That way you know it's not gonna move. We've got three of these. This is the first of three. As far as the logbook would let me go and my energy is also depleted. Can't do everything in a day. I was hoping to get back to Winnipeg. Do the rest in the morning. I've got to go to bed. It was just a short little day. We're just getting going here. My other two loads fell through. So I was supposed to do three of these, right? And this one worked out. They unloaded me today, a day early, but that's because tomorrow it's supposed to rain and it's supposed to pour. And the site where I delivered this to was a mud site. And it was dry today, so it was no problem. But tomorrow with all the rain guaranteed I would have gotten stuck there. So they don't want any loads coming in tomorrow or Friday, which is the day after. So no deliveries for me. I don't know if they're just being put off till next week or whatnot, but tomorrow I'll have a different assignment to do. They'll find me something else to do in the morning. So for now, let's go to bed. Let's get a good sleep and see what tomorrow brings. Tomorrow morning, Britt is meeting with our renter to hand off the camper. They're picking up the camper tomorrow and they have it for five days. Four nights, right? Five nights. They have it for five nights, actually. So it was a longer rental. That's the longest rental we've had. So it was only the second rental. But we have another rental booked coming up right after that. So when it comes back, we'll have, I think, two days to clean it up, which is plenty of time. And get it ready for the next person. And then by that time, we'll probably have the rest of the month booked up. Oh, man. Excuse me. So so far that new venture and business of ours as we've had some success, you know, I was kind of leery about whether or not we would get any rentals or where it would go or, you know, if we'd have any success with it. But no, so far, so far, you know, knock on wood, it's been going really well. And there's been a growing market for people. Because like I say, why buy your own camper trailer that you're only going to use once maybe twice a year, spend $40, $50,000 on a rig, you're going to just park in storage. Well, just rent from us. It's way easier, way easier. And you can bring it back and hey, you can rent it again next year when you want to go out. Maybe we'll have a different model for you to rent them to, you know, we're going to get a couple of different models eventually. Anyway, that's besides the point. Let's focus on trucking here. We have an empty trailer behind us now, and no freight scheduled to put on it tomorrow yet. Let's hope that that changes first thing in the morning. First thing I'm going to go back to a straight to bed, make sure that I'm rested, awake and ready. And as soon as the logbook allows me to, and as soon as I talk to the load gods or dispatch, I will start making my way further that way. I'm in Minidosa now, so I'm still two and a half hours away from the yard, two hours away from Winnipeg at least. So as soon as I get direction to go that way, then I'll start moving. But who knows, maybe they'll send me back into Saskatchewan. I sort of stayed about halfway between Yorkton and Winnipeg just depending on where the reloads are, right? They're expecting me back in Winnipeg. So I wanted to start moving that way. And then I got tired. So now I'm we'll see, we'll see what they come up with, right? Thanks for watching today, everybody. Tomorrow, tune in and figure out what we're doing together. We'll see you then. Take care. Stay safe and drive safe.
