 honest we missed one here there but hey I'm only human I'm not a super trucker just a normal trucker not too sure what the day holds for us today yet but I've got the old girl warmed up out of her sleeping spot here I've already checked in just waiting for a trailer to hook up to I'm gonna do some trucking to keep filling it up and then as soon as it packs down it turns into a rut again I don't know what was there but come on Roger oh man it's gonna be a good day it's supposed to rain a little bit so that part may not be as good depending on what we're doing during that time but so we're hooking up to 409 DT here it's a tri axle 53 foot step I don't hear any air leaks coming from right there that's good lights are all working lights are all working let's make sure that there's air in the bags here it's on ride okay wait for them to fill up so here's what we're loading our first over dimensional load in a while you're gonna need to flag it and tag it it's a little bit wide we're just taking it back to the yard this wooden uh wooden structure thingers these are all going to Grand Forks somebody's building something and they need this specific stuff yeah they put it all together here in Winnipeg and then we ship it down to Grand Forks North Dakota it's pretty easy to tie down it's if you throw a few straps over there tighten it up flag it gotta put an oversized load sign at the back and at the front beacons are not required in Manitoba I always use them anyways because if I'm hauling an over dimensional or OD load I like to draw attention to myself if possible so that people know something bigger than usual is coming but you gotta be careful with that in some places especially places like Ontario if you're not if you if you got a wide load but you're not wide enough they don't want you to use your beacons but if you have a wide load that is wide enough they definitely want you to use your beacons and they'll give you a ticket if you have your beacons on and you're not wide enough or if you don't have them on and you're too wide but you gotta know when to turn on the beacons it's confusing right in my mind if you're over dimension at all if anything at all hangs over the trailer like this you should have your beacons on that's my paint but I'm not DOT I'm not the one that makes these rules so make sure you research your local regulations in the province or state that you're operating in just to make sure that you know what'll get you into trouble and what won't because in places like Ontario I mean they'll find any excuse to give you a ticket I mean any excuse at all I mean you do a good job they'll let you go but you don't do a good job obviously they'll give you a ticket but if if you do too good of a job they'll also give you a ticket so just make sure you I'm just joking around here but make sure you research the local regulations of the wherever you're operating in and this load is going to need a permit to go into North Dakota obviously and that permit will tell the driver that's taking it down there exactly which routes he's supposed to take and possibly at what time because in North Dakota I don't think you're allowed hauling over dimensional at night I think a half hour after and a half hour before sunrise just not at night but you'll have to research that yourself again don't just trust me and rely on me for all your information okay I'm in I'm an entertainment channel okay for the most part I don't know all the different regulations in every single state in every single province off the top of my head if I were to be taking this load down to North Dakota the first thing I would do is I would pull up the regulations DOT regulations for North Dakota and refresh my memory just so that it's at the front of my mind I need those the impression the whole day that uh it was a short week because I mentioned it in the vlog so many times it's a short week it's a short week next week is a short week I was getting ahead of myself the Thursday before the long weekend we're gonna sing it loud and proud every chance we get guessing they just want this trailer around in the back the park here but everybody parks here anyway especially this guy right here he's blocking the whole shop it's the worst spot park he's taking that shirt that what is that different one one of those shirts that we were uh maneuvering around yesterday oh they got the mobile truck wash here today nice everybody's getting a bath today wonder if they'll wash my truck if I get in line I've got to go bring a trailer into Winnipeg right now so maybe if I get back fast enough he's going down the line over here he started on this end over here with that western star he went down that way he came today on a Tuesday when there's not very many trucks in the yard I guess they wouldn't come on a weekend that would make that wouldn't make sense probably monday to friday gig type thing hey is over there washing all the trucks that's what I mean they would love to have a wash bay right here on site a wash bay costs quite a bit of money and uh I can understand why it's been put off this long but it would be nice I agree with you guys in the comment section I see you guys asking if we have a wash bay we don't yet but it's it's in the plans obviously uh right now they got a guy who comes here in a mobile truck washes all the trucks I don't know how often he comes but he's here today but you know this place keeps growing and growing I've been very impressed they've been managing it very well it's more than tripled in size by the time but since I've been here so I'm guessing you know in the future eventually there'll be a wash bay right on site here that we can just roll the truck in too and shine her up but that's in the future I like to have a clean truck I do it's hard to keep it that way because of the climate we live in you can see all of our trailers too they could all use a regular wash but it's not like down in the US where all the highways are nice and clean all the time and you know it's easier to keep the truck clean down there up here the climate we live in it's not that people don't want to take care of their vehicles it's not that they don't want to keep clean vehicles it's that it's physically impossible now you spend $70 on a truck and trailer wash or $100 on a truck and trailer wash literally 15 minutes later it's just as dirty again it's just the season we're in right now it's not like that all year round here but you know for at least half the year six months of the year it's just the way the world is here it's the climate all the snow and you know the salt on the roads because of the snow and it's tough it's tough but a washbed outside would help definitely definitely but you know we'll take what we can get for now we've got a mobile wash guy over there and I better go bring my trailer into winter peg so I can get back in time to get in line before he leaves that's sort of why I want to bring my own pressure washer just a small one you know just to rinse the dust off end of my day or something I need one anyways I need one to uh clean my own vehicles at home and you know clean the deck clean the the driveway the house everything pressure washer is coming very handy and I've been meaning to buy one for a long time I'm just gonna get one that's somewhat portable enough that I can take it with me and just you know get my truck a little wash in the back here somewhere when it needs it that way I can do it whenever I want to right and the best part of that is I gotta take the pressure washer home with me after one sec I gotta go get my bro and I left it in my pickup I'm gonna have to sweep out this trailer apparently you know they're still looking for drivers and ever there there isn't a permanent driver for this truck yet for a city driver and uh they have some empty trucks here I know they're looking for owner operators if you guys want to apply they're definitely looking for new drivers a 100 looking for more owner operators I haven't talked to them this week yet to see what this week's uh numbers are like and what they're looking for this week but you know give them a call anyways and mention me when you apply damn I took my broom home so I could sweep my driveway and then I didn't sweep my driveway I bought an air conditioner instead it took a little while because uh the guy his name was Colin from Brown's plumbing and heating he was he was a very nice salesman very good guy he came down and explained all the options that we had he measured out our house and told us what kind of air conditioner we would need for what you know the temperatures we wanted to keep in the house and I think we got a really good deal we got a really nice one actually it wasn't the cheapest one but it's going to do the job and it took took a little while to get that all figured out took most of the evening so I didn't get to sweep my driveway yesterday I'll try and remember to bring this home again tomorrow so now its services are needed here over here I need two hands don't take my broom it's my favorite broom I don't know it was you if you did it got cameras everywhere it wasn't it was an expensive broom it really is it's why I don't want to take it home every night because it wasn't cheap and it's mine I paid for it I'm keeping it for me on flatbeds in the morning and dry vans in the afternoon we do it all I would just like to take a little time out here and acknowledge whoever dropped trailer 50 62 b the one I just hooked up to thank you for cleaning this trailer out before you left it here so that I didn't have to spend my time cleaning up the mess in there I really appreciate that I've been seeing a lot of trailers that have been left here dirty they have asked us to clean out the trailers before we leave them here and I never like to call people out when they cut some corners but every now and then it gets a little frustrating when every trailer you open is dirty I just want to especially acknowledge I wish I knew exactly who it was because I would say your name right here to the world I opened the doors of this trailer dropped here in our empty yard and you could practically eat off the floor it was perfect mint clean good job that's the way it's supposed to be done really appreciate that things have been moving fast today you're gonna have to keep up we dropped off that van trailer and now we've hooked up to a roll tight conastoga conastoga right covered wagon and I've got to deliver what's in it and we're already here so we better start rolling up the sides so that they can get it off all right gotta try and keep up oh and it's snowing what a day why is it snowing supposed to be done with this stuff it's gonna get my truck all dirty again not that it matters but you know the best I can here all right yeah so here's our covered wagon I think I'm just gonna call it that because that's easier than saying conastoga there we go this one really didn't want to open for me made a mistake of parking facing away from the wind so the wind wants to push those curtains back towards the truck right now they didn't want to open now I understand why they say be careful in the wind right I got it locked there right now as soon as we're done unloading this I'll roll back out hopefully the wind won't bother me when I'm doing that I'm thinking it should help me all right it's frosty I thought we were done with this frosty business I don't think it's snowing anymore but it's not still snowing it's you can't see it but it's it's there trust me it's there so they got this big uh big loader over here that's unloading me the loader is unloading me so technically I guess it would be an unloader it's actually supposed to be kind of cold all week it's what's going on a minus seven tonight let's see what the weather's gonna be like tomorrow maybe the forecast has changed you know it changes all the time all the time not minus seven tonight plus three tomorrow plus nine it's going below zero into freezing all the rest of this week fantastic is oh and uh have your fill of my hair or lack of it for the rest of this week because this is the last week I will have hair I am shaving my head on this next coming weekend bald like right down to the scalp bald I have to do it now because I'm already starting to tan and I'm already gonna have tan lines it's gonna look ridiculous for the first little while but it's okay throughout the summer it'll even out and this is my first time in my life that I'm going to be completely bald and if I like it that's how I'm going to stay from now on all right so get a good look at the hair you ready to see bald trucker Josh what is it Tuesday today when I'm filming this Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday I guess I'll have to do it on Saturday sometimes weekend anyways it's all coming off all of it kind of excited about it it's mostly because my hair is thinning so much up here and I don't want to have that big bowling alley so instead of a bowling alley I'm just gonna go right bald and you won't even know I can't be balding if I'm already bald it's my logic so pretty much I am going to own this head of non hair I'm gonna own this balding head I'm losing my hair anyways you know what I'm just gonna cut it all off that way I win because I go bald on my terms that is a massive unloader and yes I would love to drive it no I have never delivered one like that yet maybe one day empty and very windy I'm hoping this wind is going to help me close this and not work against me 25 right now I'm gonna stay hooked up to this trailer overnight I gotta pull it up to Arberg in the morning so no point in detaching now just got to reattach in the morning now just gonna see if there's room to park it in the back here so I don't have to walk so far to get to my pica I guess I missed the mobile wash guy he's gone already we got all these uh what he calls underbelly things here I think the animal stacked up nice and they got blown over in the wind and haven't had a chance to fix that yet I know I know I see it too not enough time in the day that's the biggest problem there's not enough time in the day so you know how I like to drive really close to the camera and some of you been worried that I would drive over it one day well look what happened today I put it on the ledge of the trailer to film myself parking the trailer at the end of the day and I guess I was so tired I didn't notice that the wind blew it off and it blew it right into the tracks where I was driving and I drove over it with the trailer it was an empty trailer but it still did this and it's shot it won't start go pro heaven it's dead it won't even start but it served its purpose it's uh worked for me for the last one at least two years every day so that's paid for itself more than more than paid for itself so we have this spare thank goodness exact same camera as this it's a go pro hero 7 black edition just be really careful with this one I guess this means I drove you over I drove over my viewers all of them I am so sorry a lot of good times a weasel with that camera a lot of good times I told you to be careful yeah well that's no fun shabby yeah and we got uh salad and what I thought was a chicken pot pie but is apparently a groton whatever that is bring the great taste of Swiss chalet home cheese lovers can't get enough of this gratin's creamy cheddar sauce exceptionally blah blah it's gonna be delicious what am I doing an ad this isn't an ad does smell good looks exactly like a chicken pot pie still yeah just doesn't have the top crust I like cheese too I especially like cutting the cheese you're very good at it
