 Morning everybody It's another new day. We're on our way in to do some trucking I got to pick up a load in Winnipeg and bring it to Selkirk straight north of Winnipeg Or sort of northeast north up the Red River That's my first My first mission for today. It's gonna be fun. It looks like it's gonna be a Fair weather day Nice fall day I'll see you when we get to the truck Open up. Let me in I'm afraid to deliver Come on. Come on slowest gate ever. Thank you Appreciate that Pretty hard to do my job if you don't let me in There's a lot of trucks here today. Wow. Is it Friday or what? Thanks, so here's 2025 up here by the tent. It's just parked here. No one driving it It's that Peter built there on the right Need a driver for that I think Lots of trailers here today too full yard. I can just imagine Or should say I can't even imagine how full it's gonna be here tomorrow You know, everybody wants to come come home for the weekend And that's great, but then we don't have a place to park We make it work. There's always a place to park. We just make a place There's some guys here warming up their trucks already We are here to mine's right on the end I always sneak into this little spot right here at beside the truck And then I can put my stuff in the passenger side And do the pre-trip and then I go and park my pickup out of the way. Oh Yeah, you guys ready ready to go to Selkirk so exciting. I don't know exactly what I'm bringing there where I'm going But I haven't been there. Oh When was the last time we went there to see that giant fish I was in The terrain then personal vehicle and I took you to see that landmark Which I know a lot of you in the comment sections have been asking for me to continue the the 100 or 101 Landmarks of Manitoba. I have been planning to do that I was actually gonna do that on the motorcycle But this summer has been so crazy busy with everything it seems every time I get a spare day Something pops up like I built the deck in front of our house or replaced the deck Earlier this year in then, you know, we we want to see our friends and family too when we can and Throughout the beginning of this year. We weren't able to so when they did allow us to we sort of want to take advantage of that on our days Oh, you get it You get it All right, I've got one coffee in me already And take this one along for later. Oh forget this move into the semi and get her warmed up I was about to say we're out here playing in traffic, but there's not much traffic out here So we're just playing on highway Got a step deck behind me with a load of boxes crates Transformers all kinds of other things on there. I got to take it up a silker click. I was telling you Now we're gonna go up, Mick Phillips, or I guess it would be what highway eight north of the perimeter If you're familiar with the area if not, well Selkirk you can look at a map Winnipeg just north of Winnipeg if you're new to the vlog. Welcome. Don't forget to subscribe We make new videos every day as we truck around Manitoba here. We're in Manitoba, Canada Just north of Minnesota and North Dakota, so we're from southern Manitoba Welcome here Been making videos every day for about 10 years I used to be over the road traveling all around Canada in the US and If you read my description below my videos, it'll explain what we're doing here now. Man, these areas are popping up fast Yes See this is Main Street north it goes to Selkirk as well But it it goes through a residential area and the speed limits are a lot slower It'll be faster if we just go up the next road sort of like the bypass a Lot of very nice properties up that way If you are well off in the Winnipeg area chances are you might live in that area But there's many other well-off areas Winnipeg is kind of surprisingly a surprising amount of prosperity a lot of people wouldn't know that but I May have made a mistake Google is correcting me now. I probably should have gone up Main Street like I said, I thought this would get around the Residential area and it does It does get me all around those residential areas, but I Don't think it was any faster. It may have been just as fast But we're gonna take 67 back across over to nine. At least we didn't lose any time. We just sort of went a Little further around unnecessarily. Here's the sign to Selkirk. Whoops a doodle Alright 67 take me to Selkirk at least this worked and I realized it before I went past 67 for some reason I thought that this was a different road Asked it though. I'm like, I better check my map my GPS just to make sure I don't miss my turn Turned out being just like a couple of miles ahead head. I had just pictured it differently. I Don't go to this area very often. Like I said, I haven't been to Selkirk in a truck in. Oh, who knows a long time I haven't been here since last winter. I Don't come up here very often. I'm from the southeast So I don't have much and I don't know anybody in this area really that I would go visit often But still take this as a lesson Double-check your route before you leave Don't just go. Oh, I know my way. I know my way. I'm I'm I'm from Manitoba They've got some stuff for me to take back to where I picked this up. So unloading and reloading right here That's why I'm not putting the straps away yet because I'm gonna need them right away again Say it was a bullet. Bullet went through there and it's still running like a solid Peterbilt This is what we got here Pretty much exactly the same stuff I brought here except this is used stuff Brought them new stuff and taking the old stuff back Add this on all right Lose my brains all over the place Brain bucket. Oh, we need the air conditioning now. It's that time of day. All right How many of you can say your truck got struck by a bullet and still runs? It may have been a rock, but it was Like a speeding bullet it was a bullet off like that in front of too many people They start looking at you funny and slowly moving away move suddenly everybody's moving Why didn't they just come and tell me I? Could have moved and tied down elsewhere. I didn't know I was in the way. They're all moving around here. Oh Now I feel bad Feel bad. I wasn't in any particular rush. I was just you know tying down my stuff and then Check in for messages when I got back in the truck. I could have easily gotten out of here a lot sooner for No one told me that they're waiting for me to move. Oh, well if it really was that big of a deal They would have They would have come and told me to move times They load me up and then I can slowly you know move to a different area of the yard To tie it down if it's too much in the way where I am, but I guess I was no one said anything Take up most of my day I might be done after this Not too sure might send me out on something else yet. I think I've told you that before That's what my dad always told me these red signs what they stood for STOP spin tires on pavement can't can't spin my tires shoot. I hope they don't get mad at me I wasn't able to directly down highway nine was church of the main street once we hit Winnipeg Probably takes the same amount of time as going around the long way that we went before just because the speed limit here is 80 kilometers an hour. I think it's going down to 70 here in a bit of people living down here. This is a very It's a historic stretch of Manitoba between Winnipeg and Selkirk a lot of old properties and a lot of new very wealthy properties We're driving right along the Red River. It's just off for a left over there It's but a half a mile over there. So all of this property here is right along the river for the most part first settled land in Manitoba was used as a trade road for thousands of years before we even got here very valuable and lots of expensive wants adopters and lawyers in this area not a lot of trucker Josh's Different lifestyles for different folks, right? Some people really like the city life, and I understand why everything's convenient everything's close by When you go to get groceries, it's just five minutes around the corner You know the grocery store in the countryside when you go to get groceries. It's a whole afternoon event You know, it's like half an hour 20 minutes 20 30 minutes to the grocery store And while you're in town, you got to get a bunch of other errands done So you don't have to come back to town twice. So it's like a whole afternoon. I Get it inconvenient for some people City people usually, you know, they like things now right now Whereas country people were more used to we're more used to a slower pace and waiting for things Get her done I'm okay with it This is an old unit that they just used for around the city here around looks up for highway tractors or newer tractors and They would never send this truck out very far But I like driving it the older ones are the better ones. It's got some nice pipes on it Sounds like a real truck. It's not one of these new automatics. I like it It's nothing pretty to look at but hey, maybe one day. I'll Maybe one day we'll we'll get this one refurbished. I don't know We'll see for now. It's all right. I know they don't match and I'm it's okay. Thanks for letting me know though Turn her down near Garth Brooks, okay, well Mediocre day is a good kind of day As long as we went trucking we're happy, right? All it makes me happy Nothing to report today went to Selkirk back to Winnipeg took up the whole day Now it's time to go home from my rock star. Welcome. Oh Hope it's ready Yesterday, it wasn't completely ready. There's only about half ready. I hold them to a high standard Open says me. I trucker Josh command you. I want to go home You have to think about it. Hey, you have to think about it. Hey, you don't want to listen to me I'll get out there. I'll kick you I'll kick a gate No, I wouldn't do that. I would get in trouble. I just go around to the other gate. Wait, wait. Oh, I hit the pothole We're gonna dodge it today
