 We caught a train! Where did the train catch us? Steel. That's what we got. It's not that heavy. We have them lined up a single file. It's just easier to get them tied down that way. Because up here we have them side by side, but I had to put boards across so that there was even pressure on both sides of both pallets, right? Otherwise you you don't want them to start sliding together or something in the center even though they're banded. There's some wood over there so it's just easier for the rest of the trailer. Loaded like this and we're ready to go. So this steel is going to Yildeshain, Manitoba. Yildeshain, Manitoba. Island of Oaks. Oh hey and yesterday I got my LEDs installed under here that I got from my mother-in-law for my birthday. I believe there's another one up there. And we got another one under there and another one on the passenger side there. And then this is the control here. I can change their colors. Look at this. The red, green, blue, white, orange, yellow, cyan, purple. Make a change. I have a party in here. So let's be able to sync it to music too. I'm not too sure how that works yet but I just I'm just gonna keep it on the blue. Came up on a convoy of oversized loads here. Got the tail truck not letting me get by so there must be a bridge or something coming. Road ahead is gonna need both lanes. He'll move into the right lane. Probably scouting the road up ahead letting the guys behind know when there's a narrow bridge coming. When they're gonna need both lanes so that they can block off traffic. I like working by myself. Ended up running with Brian for a little bit there. That was a lot of good friends to have someone to talk to right away. Rolled by myself too. You sort of have to have that quality to be a truck driver. Very often it's just you. Just rolling down the highway by yourself. Just you in the hum of the tires. Not too sure how far we're gonna make it. I have nine hours and 22 minutes of driving available to me today. I think we could probably make it pretty close to the Mesa maybe Balgoni or somewhere around. Not too sure. I'm gonna try to get this delivered tomorrow yet but I don't know if I can make it by the end of the day. Might have to be the following morning. This guy's spare tire cover on his camper says goodbye tension hello pension. Pension isn't really enough to live off of solely right. There so I can't really speak for it but from what I've heard I think after you like spend your entire life working in Canada paying taxes I think you get something like 1500 bucks a month which doesn't even cover half of a rent in a lot of places so the idea is that I guess you have your home paid off but homes are so unaffordable right now. I don't I don't want to make it sound like I'm complaining. What I'm trying to get at here is I think that pension needs to be adjusted a little bit a little bit higher. I think our seniors who have spent their whole lives working in this country deserve to have a pension that they can at least live off of you know. Maybe that blue truck off on the left he's parked so far on the shoulder oh he's running across the road here jaywalking. This truck's almost tipping over over there. Are you on a Timmy? Where are you going? He's walking over to Timms isn't he? People will do crazy things to go to Timms. Another pedestrian here walking right beside the lane of traffic come on bud I'd get on the gravel what are you doing right right on the lane of traffic and where's he going? There's nothing out this way. Ah some people you know some people that close to a lane of traffic first of all you've seen the rocks my tires pick up right there's nothing I can do about it they pick up rocks and as I'm driving sometimes they'll fling them out and they'll get caught by my fenders or mud flaps or sometimes they'll go flying out onto the shoulder and if you're walking down the shoulder right beside the road and one happens to let go right at the right time that thing's gonna smoke you in the head. I always think of worst-case scenario you know that's me conservative guy I'd like to you know stand back and just think of what could happen and try to prepare for it and stick with what's tried and true you know staying off the road as a pedestrian is the proven way to stay alive. Try and test it stay off the road the further off the road the better the higher your chances are of living longer the sketch won't scale coming up here according to my apps it's been open all day but it just closed about three minutes ago we'll see how accurate this app is I use the trucker path app and on there when you pass a scale it'll ask you if the scales open or closed and then you tell it that it's closed or open and then all the other drivers that use the same app can see your report that it's closed handy app I like it a lot it's well made so just around this corner is the scale lights if it's open they'll be flashing let's see how accurate this app is pretty accurate just by here it asks if it's open or closed you just tap a button and every other driver that uses it can see that it's closed them the more people that use the app the better it is and there's tons of people it's the most popular one as far as I know very popular the sketch at two we're gonna try to get down past Regina and even past Balcony maybe even into Manitoba maybe not it's getting kind of late we'll see take the entrance to the right on highway 16 east highway 7 west highway 14 west trans Canada highway and then turn left in 450 meters all right Karen you're gonna have to make up your mind I can't turn left on that many roads at the same time can I unless they're all the same road in 600 meters take the entrance to the right on highway 16 east highway 7 west highway 14 west trans Canada highway and then turn left in 450 meters trans Canada highway all right I'll bite if that many roads all in one because why build four different roads when you could just make four different roads one right make sense you don't need four roads you just need one just make them all the same one in 300 meters turn left on circle drive east highway 11 and then cake to the left in 1.4 kilometers now it's circle drive and highway one east not too heavy to go into the US they would not allow me on their drive tires right now are maxed out at 17,000 kgs for Canadian weights here in now on the prairies that's 37,500 pounds sitting on the back of my truck my steers have another 12,000 on them right now so just my truck without the trailer right now is putting 60,000 pounds right yeah just about 60,000 pounds onto the pavement beneath me and my trailer it's a tandem max got about 15,500 kgs on it which is just over 34,000 pounds so I'm still well under my legal weights overall 7,500 pounds on this road for 112 kilometers comment section that if you listen to my videos on headphones it's oh yeah that's fun oh that's like a roller coaster now's my chance they got against beautiful music sounds of angels my truck right now is putting almost 50,000 pounds 37,500 on my drives 12,000 on 60 driver i'm not a mathematician so last night i made it to whitewoods to skash one it was just a long day of straight prairie driving as you saw not much to see unless you like that kind of thing i mean i do i like it but i feel like i'm boring you just showing you the same landscape over and over so sometimes we just skip over it if you want me to show it every time well you let me know down below in the comment section let me know if you love the prairies that much that trailer is full of all baby cows little calfs on their new home so i had to move one of these skids this skid right here is about 4,000 pounds this one's about 35,300 pounds i'd move one of these 4,000 pounds skids to the front because i had too much weight on my trailer fortunately there was a scale like right beside where i loaded so often shippers don't have scales and i know it's very expensive to have one or not everyone can have one but when you're loading up like max weights it's nice to have a scale nearby at least because i went and scaled i'm like oh oh trailers way over the trailer was like 2,000 pounds over like a thousand kgs over well i'm gonna have to change something i already had everything tied down and i was ready to go but i had to go back to the shipper go back into their yard they're unstrapped the last pallet and ask them if they can move that one to the front they put that one up on the step in front of the two that i had there i went and re-tied it down rescaled again found out that was good wasted some time but it's better than getting a fine right or a ticket the scales were all closed on the way back but like i was telling you they were open all day they just happened to close down just before i got there i think they may have just let me go on through but you never know when you're that close or even just a little bit over they'll pull you in for an inspection anyway just to find out see if you know what you're doing like this guy's right at his max right there or like maybe like a hundred pounds over not a big deal just a hundred pounds but they'll be like this guy know what he's doing or was that just a fluke i'll pull you in look at your logs see if you know what you're doing and everything but anyways that didn't happen and tomorrow is Thursday and i'm going to be delivering this load tomorrow and i have to hurry to get there so it's
