 well good morning everybody we're here picking up more of this steel again gotta watch these edges that they don't eat through my tarps so we're not 63,000 pounds or this isn't 63,000 pounds of steel this time this time it's only 56,000 pounds we've got our chains criss-crossed at the front there protecting it from either going side to side or you know flying off the front if I have to hit the brakes really hard and into my step oh we got the same at the back there doing the same thing there I did a mixture of straps and chains on this load this load like I said is 56,000 pounds I have enough securement on here for about 65,000 pounds so she won't be going anywhere just getting our tarps done today make all nice and pretty put our flags on it our oversized load signs clean ourselves up and we'll be on our way this load is going to Alberta so it's a four-day drive from here but I can't drive at night in Ontario on the two lanes so it might turn into four and a half because it's already noon by the time I get out of here it'll be a little later yet so I don't know good as far as we can today we'll just see what happens it's going to be heavy though it's not 63,000 but it's still heavy 56,000 pounds that's a that's a lot for this old Volvo it's a lot for the old girl hope you hope you're up for the challenge there we go all tied down looking pretty all my securement is under the tarps there a little bit windy out here that should be fun got our little lights out here that tell everybody hey I'm a little wider than you think watch out the flags if you don't see all this flags and signage man you'll probably go home it should be at home anyway all right everybody stay out of my way okay this is heavy I just want to get it to where it needs to go safely all right so my my first initial reaction on the new steer tires under load I'm impressed hashtag impressed and we haven't gone very far yet we're waiting for them to you know properly warm up and wear in but that along with those balancing rims pressed it's amazing how much shaking and uncomfortableness just a couple of bad tires can do what can do right I'm gonna have to look at my shocks on my front end as well because that could be what might have been causing the the cupping and I still got a little bit of a shake in my truck I don't know if that's coming from the trailer or not or you know a little bit of shake is okay but wow is it it's a lot better so my next thing I'm gonna have to look at is the front end shocks might need to get those replaced you know but by the time I'm done with all this stuff I might just overhaul this engine you know I've practically got a brand new truck already all I need is a new engine and we're golden we're good to go for another three four five years I'm glad that I solved the problem it's weird because the steer tire shake that I was dealing with it felt like it was an engine stutter like an engine hiccup like the engine was starting for fuel but I couldn't figure it out because I had full power and I had no problem starting the truck usually if you have air in your fuel system you'll have trouble starting your vehicle problems like that so it all came from the tires no it was like this little bit of a little bit of a vibration I still got a little bit of a shake I can feel it on my steering wheel oh wait now it's gone yet that might have just been the road could just be the road it's hard to tell I've dealt with so many shakes in the trucks that I've owned in my lifetime already that I pretty much narrowed it down when my truck starts shaking like I'm pretty good at pinpointing where it's coming from but this time it got me I've never had steer tires shake in such a irregular way that it felt like an engine stutter it was so weird it looks like we got our problems fixed uh at least one of them I mean there's always more problems I was telling you that the other day right this is trucking uh problems every day I don't know what the problem will be today but yesterday's problem has been solved so that's good really appreciated if we could wait about six months for the next problem to show itself but once again this is trucking we'll see we'll see what happens lulia we are out of toronto thank god oh I can breathe again you know the traffic wasn't so bad but you know but I'm just gonna say for a quarantine that's quite a bit of traffic still a lot of you people just you gotta be careful you people Don Terry got in trouble for saying that you people all you people on the road crazy toronto owners 100 meters keep to the left on highway 400 we're going here wash our hands grab some timmage then continue on our way I want this spot right here this is my spot I picked this one I'm hoping to make it up to north bay tonight yet before the sun goes down but we're gonna get as far as we can gotta get further in this so this won't be a very long stop it's the next morning and we're continuing our journey woke up in the morning and it was still here and we're still in the exact same spot as we went to sleep in so that's good so we do have the tri axle which means this load has a little bit of extra weight allowance you might say can haul more weight with more access it spreads the spreads the overall weight out more over the truck pardon me over the road I'm still waking up here I haven't even had my coffee yet we're not that oversized we're just 10 foot so it's those sheets of steel but like I was saying earlier I'm glad it's not as heavy as last time you really notice that difference I guess what did I say this is 56,000 6,000 pounds less than the last load and boy do I feel the difference feels a lot better so I'm just doing the pre-trip making sure everything's working here gonna run in grab a coffee and we'll continue this vlog on down the road to campus casing it's an absolutely gorgeous day here in north bay Ontario look at this blue skies hardly a cloud in the sky spring is in the air the flowers are not yet blooming but you know they're coming they're coming just pretend they'll be here soon this is canada this is in virginia I have my friends in virginia that have been showing me all the greenery they got there already must be nice they've got a Tim Hortons right over here and so far every Tim Hortons has been open for takeout heard reports in the news of truckers blocking drive-thrus or whatever or protesting that Tim Hortons isn't open I don't know how it is where you guys are but everywhere I've been right across the country every Tim Hortons has been open you just walk in I mean you can't sit down and eat and have your coffee inside but they'll give you your coffee and let you walk out yeah they're open so I mean like I said you can't eat inside because of the virus right now but you can walk in there and get a coffee for takeout I don't know what people are getting so upset about they keep saying can't find coffee anywhere all the truck stops are open they have coffee Timmy says coffee you can get food at Timmy's too I don't know what people are talking about where are all these stores closed and where are all these places that are refusing service to truckers I can't find them anywhere we've all seen those posts online right truckers whining and complaining saying oh they can't find a hot meal anywhere they can't find bathrooms anywhere they can't find coffee anywhere and they're going crazy and getting on the news and the news keeps covering these guys and I'm wondering like where are these guys that they can't get a coffee can't get bathrooms I don't have mentioned this before but it was in the news again last night oh truckers are essential workers they can't find food or bathrooms and coffee I haven't had one problem I don't know maybe it's where I'm not driving maybe it's in other areas I keep bringing it up because I feel bad because there's tons of people out there asking how difficult it is out there for us you know there's lots of people like going out of their way to bring truckers hot food and I don't want to discourage that I mean a free meal is always very nice but I don't know what these claims are based on there could be other states I guess because I know in the US every state is different some governors are going crazy right now with almost draconian how they're blocking and banning everything so like I said it's probably different in different areas but right across Canada from Ontario all the way to British Columbia every truck stop has been open for me every bathroom I haven't been refused a bathroom anywhere I've been able to get hot food takeout at any restaurant I want to all restaurants were open just for takeout just couldn't eat in all Tim Hortons are open for coffee every truck stops open all their showers are open and clean and I saw an article maybe it's still on here on my phone oh it's probably here it says truck driver blocks bc Tim Hortons drive through sparking new carryout option it's happened in Chilliwack British Columbia I was in Chilliwack not too long ago I mean maybe they've changed their laws and they've shut down Tim Hortons to people but this guy's like blocking the drive through protesting that he can't get a coffee saying the truck drivers are essential they need their coffee I'm like I agree with that we need our coffee we are essential but I mean what do you mean we can't get our coffee why are why why is this news we're fine but like I said maybe it's different there so let us know down below in the comment section if it's different where you are are you still able to get a coffee are you still able to find showers and are you still able to find food okay because remember grocery stores are still all open we can carry food in our trucks we've got fridges in the truck what's going on why is this always in the news let me know down below in the comment section I'm fine anyway and I've been fine this whole time but maybe that'll change I don't know we'll see what happens thanks for joining me today I was going to take us up to Kappa's casing on this vlog but I think we've talked long enough about our coffee situation because I've been very excited this is for me so we'll start right here tomorrow thanks for joining me don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's video
