 Shaving Chevy or afternoon. It's actually afternoon already diesel the Frank's hog in the big bed, but the big dogs lay on the cold hard floor What's up, dude? I do all my own laundry But he doesn't really help with the house laundry either, so I get a bigger load I Wash the dog beds We have a lot of blankets Well, 99% of these are dog blankets, honestly and dog sheets It's for like the vehicles and the dog beds and Yeah, we need to get rid of some of these. I don't use half of them These dogs use a lot of blankets So yesterday's video we went and ran over to the land brought our camper out there got it ready for the winter Sort of showed you a little bit of our plans. We staked out where the house and garage and shop are gonna be If you missed that a lot of you or a few of you anyways I've been asking about our land over and over so figured I'd film a quick little update and post that yesterday Today I'm gonna be getting going later this evening in a few hours. We've got a grocery shopping yet I got a load that I'm picking up in Winnipeg tomorrow. That's taking me down to the Minneapolis area In the meantime, we're trying to get a few things done at home before I leave I got a little lumber behind me Taking it to Minneapolis. The trailer's a little heavy and I hope that my feeling is wrong 680 pounds on my drives 29,700 trailer axles on to the scale and 620 pounds. I knew it You know the way they loaded it I was looking at it now. It's thinking that looks a little heavy on the back And then I looked at my gauges on the trailer my air pressure gauges I said that looks a little heavy on the back But the yard where I loaded this was so busy and so frantic the guy who loaded me just disappeared And he started loading like six other trucks and Like well, you know what? I'm not very far away from our yard I'm just gonna take it there because I'm legal for Canada But I'm not legal to go to the States like this. So here I'll Enlist the help of whoever I can who has a forklift license here to Move one of these lifts forward for me kind of a pain And you do This is why I check it better than getting a ticket 2,500 pounds over on my trailer And 4,000 pounds under on my drives. This is what I mean This is how they loaded it so they put these two longer lifts in the front, right? And then four behind it and then three behind that right over the rear axles So yeah, just looking at this it looks heavy for the US, right? You would be correct 2,500 pounds too much on those axles And I can have up to 4,000 more pounds on those axles. So I've got to move One of these lifts forward. I might actually just move one of these on top of there And then move that other one to the center One way or another we need to get weight off the trailer So I got Brendan in the yard here to come help me out and move one of these skids We put one up there the one from the back We just put up here. I'm going to go scale it now just to make sure that Just to make sure it's good But just by looking at it I think we're good to go So remember our steer axle can have 12,000 pounds Drive axles behind the trailer can have 34 and same thing with the trailer 34 Morris we're on our way. We got our weights all squared up and this is how we did it So we moved that one from the back up here With a little bit of an overhang We had to do that because if we even it out with this stack here, I'll still 500 pounds over on my trailer So we move this stack forward It's perfectly okay to do that That moved the 500 pounds over onto these axles And now I'm completely legal to cross into the u.s So that's sort of what you got to do sometimes you got to mess around with your freight Get it positioned just right So that you're legal for weights Don't want to get a ticket. They get very expensive Thanks for moving over guys Appreciate it One guy moved over. Thank you In a parking spa so they don't technically they don't have to move over But I mean like five in a row. I always move over. I know you don't have to but On the highway you should Still I always do anyways and it Kind of bugs me and other people don't because you know I could have walked around there try to get into my door and you know tripped and fell into their lane And would have died Yeah, it might have been my fault But still I don't want to be involved in that if I'm passing by somebody just in case they come around the front And they trip over their feet or whatever and fall into my lane I'm gonna be in the far lane outside lane anyways, but that's just me. I don't know Am I alone in that I always move over always give them an extra lane But He didn't know I mean those guys didn't know that I was working on the truck here either I mean I'm parked in a parking spot in town. They thought they might have thought I was like in the gas station or something but That's the point if you don't know better to be safe than sorry in my mind anyways That's got many apples apparently they're gonna unload me tonight yet So we better go because from there. I've got to run up to Duluth, Minnesota Got to reload there tomorrow headed back I've got a little bit of show and tell I want to show you guys later So at the end of the vlog I got myself a little a kettle for the truck to heat up water and a little portable like mini Oven thing So I can heat up some food in here slowly getting Myself set up so that I don't have to buy so much food on the road and eat out it gets very expensive Especially when you're trying to save up for a house Houses are expensive And put my signal on to let people know that hey, I want to get in there. There you go. Thank you. He saw it I've also bought myself instant coffee. I'm trying it out for the first time in my life So I can heat up water in my truck now and mix it in with instant coffee And then I don't have to buy so much coffee on the road even though I love my bean to cup coffee and my Tim Horton's coffee I'm gonna save some money And make our own food and our own coffee as much as possible And give it a shot. I'll show you it all later. I'm just kind of excited about it When I called them earlier this afternoon, they said, oh, yeah, as long as you're here before midnight Come on in how I wish that happened more often. That was a nice surprise So I just got here now. It's uh 10 o'clock And I'm getting unloaded And once my trailer's empty, I'm gonna start heading towards Duluth. I gotta reload there tomorrow But at least I'll be empty tonight, right? So completely unheard of, right? You receive until midnight There's a couple of receivers that I've been to in the last few months that are like that actually this is not like Never happens, but whenever you find one like that, you're like, wow, you're my new favorite So many receivers Will only receive if you get there by like 2 30 in the afternoon So many No, actually my sweater on it's a little chilly outside But oh, yeah receiving shuts down at 2 30 Wow must be nice get to go home right after lunch Right not these guys there are these guys love to work like you know what no I don't even want to go home after supper. No, keep me here till midnight Obviously, they got a night shift and a day shift I need to get some new uh seat covers here Ah bugs me Yeah, obviously got a night shift and a day shift, but how? How awesome is that? So i'm just waiting for them to uh get finished with the truck in front of me and then uh They're gonna pull me into the Area where I gotta unload And then it'll be my turn There you go Just my tarps and riser left. I'm gonna leave this here for now. It's tied down I'll have to move that tomorrow because we'll need that space for my next load uh my next load is uh I don't even know how to explain it to you. I'll have to show it to you tomorrow I'll rope you in it tomorrow's video too It's very low heavy, but small pallets. I bring them back to our yard and then uh They get put on another trailer. I think they get put on a super b unit and got get brought out to bc That's what I heard but my job is to bring it to our yard So everything's off the deck. They're done. I have my paperwork signed. Let's get out of here I gotta go around here somewhere One hour and 42 minutes remaining on my 14 hour clock for us hours of service I'm not quite gonna make it to diluth diluth is about two and a half hours away. We're gonna get as far as we can Gotta get out of the city here now and it's quarter after 11 at night So i'm not expecting a lot of traffic here in minneapolis I'm in a happy list where everyone's always so happy. You might have noticed I got a new camera at the top of my windshield there That is my security dash camera That thing is rolling 24 hours a day Whereas my go pros they can't do that. They they overheat they get hot They're not good dash cameras, but they're better vlog cameras That is for my own liability sake or insurance If anybody cuts me off Backs into me hits me at a truck stop god forbid If anything bad happens, and it's not my fault That is rolling. Also, if anybody does anything dumb in front of me I can pull the footage off there. It'd be great youtube footage So y'all better be careful when you're driving in front of me. I'm watching you. I'm recording you Don't do anything weird. So to get out of minneapolis here. I'm on the southwest corner I'm going to be taking highway 100. I believe North through minneapolis Through the west side of the city towards i-694 then take i-694 eastbound To i-35 which takes me up to diluth and we'll see how far up i-35 we can get tonight yet I've been looking at the app trucker path. It's one of my favorite apps Tells you where all the truck stops are I have a few truck stops in mind where I could stop depending on how many hours I have To get there what my time is like when I get out of the city Minneapolis st paul here is a massive massive city But like I said earlier, I'm not expecting a lot of traffic You might have noticed diesel lord weasel is not with me He is at home with his family. I have to share him with everyone else He's semi-retired. So he only comes with uh every now and then every couple of weeks He loves coming on the truck, but he also loves being at home so And chevy also really misses him their best buds So he misses him when he comes with me and I don't know if I could take both of them in here I could try it once but it would be pretty cramped Pretty hectic It'd have to be on a week when I'm not running very hard Because I'd need a lot of time because I got to walk both of them and feed both of them then Even just having diesel with me with the regional work that I'm doing You need to be on your toes and you need to be quick quick quick You need to make it worthwhile during the week so you can get home on the weekend, right? At least try to And it's very busy And I don't always have the time To give diesel the attention he needs Not with us this time Doesn't there lasagnas or anything? Rice these uh Campbell's chunky soups like this food I can eat in the truck without having to go out and buy food every day Hoping this can save me a lot of money I guess we'll find out though. I'm really tired Just quickly putting this all together. I don't have my computer on here right now because there's water up here Uh, I have the warranty that covers absolutely everything. So even if I destroyed this With water, I think I'm still covered but I'm not gonna go testing that Thanks for hanging out today everybody, uh tomorrow we're gonna go pick up in Duluth We made it to a small town. Where are we? I'm at a little uh holiday truck stop in uh I was a rich town rich city minnesota On i-35 don't forget to subscribe
