 to work I'd go but before we go anywhere work to do today I'd open the door always show up to work in a clean truck right so I've got a temporary position that I'm filling right now there's a couple of their workers that have taken time off for Christmas or wanted to take time off for Christmas and I'm like hey I'll drive around for you why not we're gonna make some deliveries today and the rest of this week I'm not sure if I'm going there to next week but next week we have other plans and in the new year I'm starting something new all together so it should be an interesting day I really honestly have no idea what I'm doing today I have no idea what to expect I just know I'm making deliveries I think they deliver around all of southeast Manitoba so like Winnipeg a Steinback Winkler I have no idea what's gonna happen no idea but here we are this day guys of the beautiful smell of diesel fuel in the morning once again how I've missed you well that's wonderful to kick the tires oh it's great we're gonna have some fun today it's too dark to show you what's in it but we'll wait for the Sun to come up how about that right now you'll just have to trust me it's empty looks a little more familiar doesn't it got me in an old fray shaker today nice 53 foot behind me so I'm filling in for a guy for the rest of this week and some next week and then I have a road test middle of next week somewhere else yet and that's for a full-time position where I'll be home every night and every weekend things are looking up it feels so good to be back in a truck all right so our first pick up how about GPS with me or anything literally I'm just jumping in the truck for them for a few days but I'm all in a 53 foot drive-in behind me up 10 pallets in Winnipeg here they got set the address to me I just pull over here make sure I knew where I was going since I don't have my GPS in here I gotta make sure I know I'm familiar with Winnipeg so I know as we're going to Logan Avenue all the way on the other side of Winnipeg so we're gonna go around the North perimeter down Route 90 and then to Logan okay we'll pick up a few pallets there and see what they want me to do next all righty and this thing's a 13 speed so it's like riding a bike first like I didn't hear like oh I've been driving automatic for a few years I hope I don't embarrass myself nope it's like riding a bike alright let's go pick up some pallets let's go do some trucking I know a lot of you have been waiting for this for a long time day cab here which makes it nice and easy to do the city work I believe these guys go all over southern Manitoba talk to a guy this morning that goes all the way to Kalarney and Brandon regularly that's a few hour drive oh this is my first day on the newbie I'm just the guy filling in for another guy guessing they're gonna keep me closer to home I don't care they can send me wherever they want as long as I gotta go home at the end of the day how much you love trucking until you you don't go trucking for a while and you get back in a truck feel like I'm at home again next week that road test for that full-time position and in the Monday to Friday no weekends home in the evenings long days though 12 to 13 hour days apparently either Kenworth guy guys gone to check out his channel yet he sells an inland here in Winnipeg I just just about this truck has the dreaded backup beeper oh no I don't know if it's gonna work out inside there and confirmed what door they wanted me in and now I'm just trying not to embarrass myself back into their dock I know what I'm doing to mess up the first one get this far over I think I did all right I think we're in there think we're in there straight I think so didn't want to embarrass myself to mess up the first time back and into a dog you know we'll take a look that looks pretty good to me I'd say let's go see what they put in there just LTL freight eh okay so I'm saying can we got more than half the trailer left so I gotta let them know that I probably got about what's a 53-foot trailer so half of that is 26 and a half so that's probably about just about 30 feet I'm thinking there we go first pick up complete successful another happy shipper now let's turn this into a happy receiver full-on successful first delivery I think they got some more stuff that they're gonna get me to pick up first though I'm thinking at these fancy two-way radios in here that'll let me contact them directly it's almost like having a CB radio without all the other morons on there yelling and swearing all the time it's just actually the people you want to talk to that are on there it's very nice I like it better than the CB or two pickups picked up we got one more pick up and then the trailers full just off to the right here is inland that's where Andy the Kenworth guy works by Kenworth go talk to Andy go there sometime and do some collaborations with them if he'd be interested he said he was last time I hope he still is this guy in front of me is going half the speed limit I thought there was somebody in front of him making him go that slow no he's just going slow went around a corner is absolutely nobody in front of him I got places to be my shifting just a little bit first really feels good to be back I just don't want to be gone for long periods of time consistent and gets you home every night successful pick up and delivery for though to hitch except I got here during lunch and I had to wait till they got back sit around twiddling my thumbs for a little bit but that was the worst of it so we're never bill right now we have two more drops on the trailer one in Rosenholt and then in Steinback and that's it for today unless they got something else for us after that yet who knows it's all I got on my trailer right now anyway I gotta find a Tim's apparently never bill has a Tim Hortons now did you know this my cousin will he called me before and I said well I'm gonna find a Tim's and apparently never bill got a Tim's but I think we're going through Morris as well so we can always stop by in there we're gonna find something I need a lunch and I need a Timmy's desperately it's a desperate situation I need to get through the rest of my day come on get in here Josh get in here oh there it is all right off we go delivery number dose we're here not too long ago this is where that dog park is remember and we're so excited for never bill because they got traffic lights now just like balloon art very proud I spent a lot of time here on up we actually have to go right past the new Tim Hortons very excited I always get very excited when they build a new Tim Hortons it's usually way overdue desperately needed if you know it'll always be very busy and well appreciate if I can park a truck I got a 53 foot van trailer behind me right now I don't know if I can park a truck close enough to it we're gonna find out apparently it's on the other side of town which I think is a weird place to put it there because everybody from Niverville mostly commutes to win a peg to work and they head east and then up the 59 they put the Tim Hortons on the west side of town nobody goes past there in the morning on the way to work so everybody in town side of town and then they got to come all I would have put it on the east side of town but hey I'm just a little truck driver what do I know I don't got any say in these things I'm just happy they built one very happy for the people of Niverville apparently it's over here in the Shell gas station I don't think there's any truck parking though that's okay because we're also going right past Sina gas which has a flying I am pretty sure I don't need fuel here just got to wait for mr. bison there to back her into that tight spot just got a wiggle back and forth quite a bit it's quite tight getting in there oh don't go too fast you don't want to hit anything all right come on bud I know I'm back giving everybody a hard time did you miss me excuse me bud gonna park in my designated coffee spot but still here for me my name is still on it it's just very small and it's under the snow it says this is trucker Josh's parking spot right here has it been too long do you think they'll still let me in hope they still got my coffee hasn't been that long spent what a month one second got to put my muzzle on pretty sure they still want this there we go got to make sure I don't bite anybody see you when I get out my battery is almost dead shoot last delivery it's three o'clock so I'm not sure if they're gonna get me to do something else yet or not I'm still good to go for a few hours but we're back and get old familiar Steinbach gave us our dock let's go see what we have left for him in here it's been a fun day so far actually really enjoyed this I like this place that's what we got left seven skids there's five normal size skids and then two skids that are about 10 foot long a bit longer with some boxes on top of it but yeah it's been a really fun day I've really enjoyed it but they were clear that it is a temporary position so and I have another full-time position lined up hopefully that goes well this is one of those fun docks where you get to back indoors through a door and into a black hole and you just got to hope you're straight it's actually they got you can probably see it in the mirror over there they got lights guiding you in which help a lot a lot of these docks don't do that and you just sort of got a guess got a hope that you're going straight or stop get out and look that's probably a better idea but sometimes difficult backing into a building because you can't see because of all the sunlight again we did it first try still got it so they don't want me on the dock here I gotta stay muscled up in here because I am inside their building right now they just don't want me back there where they're working each place has different rules now so you sort of just gotta fly by the seat of your pants and see what happens after this I don't know what they want me to do guess I should radio in I got this fancy two-way radio I got telling you before it's like a CB but better only the people you actually want to talk to you can talk to you you don't get all that other nonsense you get on a regular CB radio that's one of the reasons I never had a CD radio in my truck there's just another my garbage all day just people swearing at each other just vulgar angry guys on the CB radio always getting mad at each other this radio is nice because everybody on here I know is a nice person and it's all work related I want to fix this but it doesn't spin drives me crazy well it looks like the day is done they want me to bring the truck back I guess feel her up I guess I'll go and see what they thought of my work today I hope they're impressed look at these itty bitty baby tanks hey just driving today just what we did today it was what Winnipeg to Rosenort to Steinback half a tank almost well a third of a tank burnt off what's leaking back here yeah there we go sometimes it just needs a little bit of convincing to stop leaking little little little little little little little little little lady bitty tanks I think my tanks in my other truck was at least twice this size at least but you want to know the best as part of a fueling up this truck, no DEF. That's that, everybody. That was fun. I actually had a really good day here. Great people, good work. Tomorrow looks like I'll have two pickups, one in Headingley coming back here to this area and Steinback and one in St. Boniface going somewhere else. I enjoyed it. I had a good day. I had a good day. Time to go home now. See what the wife's up to. How cool is it to actually work in my own community in my own region and get to go home at the end of the work day? That is awesome. Oh, it looks like I need to bang my wipers off there. They got some ice on them. Not exactly cleaning my window properly, but it's pretty cool to be able to say, yeah, I delivered there and then drive past it on your way home. Definitely much happier with the schedule. The other place where I'm doing a road test for those hours are gonna be a little bit longer there. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be starting sometime around 7 30 AM and working till 7 30 PM on average or so. It's gonna be like a 10 to 13 hour day. I missed all the excitement. I missed all the excitement. I was too excited to say hi to you guys. I forgot to grab the camera. I got a rock star welcome. Straight from everybody. I know guys, we missed it. Maybe we'll catch it tomorrow, right? Gotta go back to work tomorrow. Then we're gonna come back again. And you get all excited again. Missed you guys. Diesel, mom says you were snooping under the Christmas tree. Is it true? I think it's cause he saw me wrapping you so I'm putting more under there. I'm pushing gifts around. I see you can't get brought me anything early. He did. Well, grandma Santa. Yeah. Santa comes on the 24th. Yeah. So there's more yet. It's been all smiles since you got home. Apparently he was kind of depressed all day. Very clingy and crying a lot. As soon as we woke up, he was like high pitched crying. Aw, didn't know where I went. Yeah, he was scared. But yeah, look at our Christmas tree. First of all, we got some gifts over here. And then after that, look at this. We don't even have kids yet. And that's under, it's not all for us, but it's mostly for us and the dogs. Just for siblings. We're gonna need a bigger house just for Christmas. We have to rent one just for Christmas, that's good. When we build, we're gonna have a specific spot for a great big tall Christmas tree in Christmas. I love Christmas. We don't get people a lot of birthday gifts or anything like that, you know? We're not made of money, but one time a year we can get someone at least a little something. So what's for supper? There's leftovers from last night. Oh. Okay, everybody lean in. Take a good whiff of that. It smells like garlic. Ribs. Half of them just leaned into their screen right now. Even though I do that at least every second day, they still do it. I would. You still do it every time, I get you every time. Anyways, I got quite a bit of footage today, so I gotta put this all together and tomorrow we're gonna do it all over again. So I hope you tune in then. Thanks for watching today, everybody. Take care. I was just about to do the, I was just about to do the Boyd Body Break ending. Stay fit and have fun. Wasn't that Boyd Autobike? No, not Boyd Autobike, yeah. Boyd Body Break? Isn't it Boyd Body Break? No, just Body Break? Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. Yeah, how many of you remember those guys? Body Break. How does the music go? Da-na-na. Body Break. Very 80s. Stay fit and have fun.
