 top it is fine morning to this fine Monday morning they still got their Christmas lights up there at the municipal office that's nice and what's that coming up behind me there i don't think the camera's quite picking it up there's sunlight on the horizon oh sunlight on my way to work it's a good sign it's going to be a good day well the light is still purple or you can tell in this daylight or the sort of this twilight what do you call this again just before the sun comes up twilight's just after the sun goes down right you see still purple wonder how long it's going to take them to replace that there's another purple one by town over there apparently the reason for that is the defect from the manufacturer so they've got to replace it send it back i've heard that they're all under warranty so i don't know what do i know we've got a 53 foot flat roll tight behind us trailer 602 the winter peg to a little town called tune on many of you know it well from my videos it's a little town there but quite a bit going on we'll load this trailer up and bring it back for our highway driver so he can start his log book from the yard and he doesn't have to waste the whole day off his log book going to pick up this freight i mean it won't take a whole day it's a noon appointment but i'm going up there now see if i can get him under or get loaded early usually i can get loaded by like 10 o'clock and be back at the yard for noon like our yard and then i i'm available to do another load this afternoon yet right make myself a little more useful that way these guys are pretty uh pretty good where i'm going usually they have their stuff ready early which is uncommon right uncommon usually you show up early or very often if you show up early to a shipper they'll kick you out of their yard because they're not ready for you yet and sometimes i get there early and they're not ready i never get kicked out of the yard i just go park out of the way but uh usually you know if i have a noon appointment he's usually got my stuff ready by which is great because he doesn't have to do that nice good guy see what happens today i mean if the yard is too plugged up with other trucks i can always go park in town 20 to 12 my appointment was at 12 so we get out of here early again that's good i'll be back with enough time to get some more stuff done today yet be really warm today actually like minus two for my american friends that's uh just below freezing so that's probably at 30 29 fair night i didn't even need my jacket today since we're into february already we only have like one or two more weeks of like a few nights being very cold and it's already starting to get warmer and warmer so the truck is running better freight is moving easier the trailers are working better all of our equipment works better we're just about over that hump to slide on down into summer even my trailer behind me is going to uh Fayetteville Fayetteville Fayetteville Fayetteville Arkansas Fayetteville arkansas bing bang boom done dropped now i'm bopdailing and i'm looking for a van trailer 50 68 i've got a whole bunch of freight and winnipeg we got some busy times here it's a busy monday so i have a feeling there will be more after this as well but let's fill this trailer up first 50 68 do you guys see 50 68 anywhere i don't know the fisheye lines doesn't really help does it 50 179 50 48 looking for a van that's 50 40 50 82 50 116 50 200 is it over there i don't know 51 51 52 100 50 60 we're getting close we're getting closer i can feel it 51 99 51 8 50 68 hey there little buddy i hope you're all cleaned out inside i'd be really nice if you were let's go take a peek real quick it should be clean inside if not we shall clean it oh compressed air compressed air lovely let's get this out of the okay i'm gonna have to take that second floor down then and clean up all these straps okay that is the opposite of what i was hoping to wait for me to set those floors up you can uh hold them back up onto the wall and it turns into a regular van trailer right oh another truck pulling over right beside me here at the same time i gotta go grab 52 100 instead cross on the other side here this one's not a floor trailer so i'm not expecting there to be a floor down but i might have to sweep it out we'll see they're supposed to be clean when they're parked here but sometimes it doesn't happen sometimes there's a good reason for that too so just do do what we can make sure that might need two hands to sweep you know i'm just picking up pallets and we're just bringing them here then that load is going to be uh spread out into different trailers anyway so i might be okay just like this for now i always bring the guns dork let's get out of here let's go pick her up we're rushed for this freight so that little bit of uh dust dirt and uh bits of wooden stuff very minor down there i'm not too worried about it they're going to load this freight in on pallets and we're just going to bring it here and it's getting split up into different loads so for now it'll be fine but when i get back later i'll sweep it out to the next guy we'll have a perfectly clean trailer to grab onto the reason we have it we need it so clean sometimes is sometimes you pick up food grade product or paper or something that needs to have a smooth clean floor for that you need to have a very clean trailer but what what we're doing now it'll be fine and i got my broom with me if i'm wrong we're supposed to have been loaded up we'll see what happens see if they load it up the whole trailer or if it was just just a little bit maybe just a little bit i couldn't quite hear them it's so noisy in there i couldn't hear what they're saying oh we got lots of room in here yet okay well i was told that if i have room to go load some stuff at the other side of the building all right i guess we'll go over there and see what they got for us over there second part of that load got cancelled so we're just going with what we got we had about 12 feet available at the back of the trailer almost 13 on the one side and we had about a little more on the other side you saw the pallets were a little uneven but i think all these pallets are coming off this trailer and being cross docked anyways and they're going to Surrey British Columbia has that highway opened yet the coca-cola and if not how is traffic getting through from low the lower mainland of Vancouver to Calgary or just Revelstoke or anything up there like how are they getting through there i think i heard someone say that they had one lane open was it kind of bottleneck there still or is there another way around someone who drives up there regularly let me know right now i gotta make this right hand turn and i uh i need the whole road including the lane here so i don't want to block it just yet just in case that people are turning like this guy here so i don't want to take his lane away from him and all of these people so i gotta let them pass and then wait for an opening here i gotta look around this school building and wait for an opening and then make my move there's another car coming there i'm gonna wait till after that car and we should be good unless if that car parks right in my way here now because of this traffic light they're gonna park right in my way aren't they okay wait nope now this van there's so many things to keep your eye on when you're driving a big rig through a city like this okay so i'm gonna go this way he's gonna move there we go good timing good timing there we go see a lot of being about a boom make that driver a little nervous at first there you go see no reason to be scared of us truckers we're okay we got you we're more scared of you than you are of us just remember that i would much rather be on a road filled with truckers than a road filled with just regular private cars so this is chalmers avenue i think that was elmwood school right there it's a little bit of a tight neighborhood to get into there's a very messy day here as well because we're close to the melting point the snow is starting to melt and it's just creating a big mess winter peg has got a lot of painted murals and the sides of buildings it's really neat to see whatever neighborhood you go into has different historical pictures painted on them all right now we've got to turn left here without freaking anybody out too much all right everybody okay you got your signal on i appreciate that i'm gonna give her then traffic works so much better when everybody follows the rules properly and uses their turn signals it's got to go nice and slow take it easy we're a 75 foot unit crawling through the tight streets here i mean europeans look at this and they laugh they think this is a big wide open freeway no to us here this is a very tight neighborhood i had someone comment on one of my videos last week asking you know why are trucks so long why do they have such long wheelbases in north america well mainly because it looks cool but also because you can fit a bigger sleeper on the truck then you can be a lot more comfortable so comfort is the main thing and when it comes to our roads our roads here are designed and built for longer wheelbase trucks like ours we don't need those tight little tiny little european trucks here they would work fine i don't know why they're not sold here like why don't we have uh scania and uh uh european volvo and man and all these european trucks why aren't they sold here it's not like the other way around when uh you know our trucks couldn't be sold in europe because they wouldn't fit on the roads but their trucks could be sold here but i'm pretty sure there's some big big CEOs and big money lobbying against that because then that would take business away from the american manufacturers making trucks here in north america so i get that you know we want to support our own local manufacturing plants here in north america and our own north american trucks for us america like united states is right next door so it's a lot easier logistically just to get our trucks from the united states if we would order them from europe well they'd either have to go over over by boat or we'd have to build manufacturing plants here in canada to build their trucks here sort of like we build uh like import cars here like that honda was assembled here in north america it wasn't assembled in japan it was designed in japan but it was made here right i don't know why we can't do that with european semi trucks i we have european cars on our roads all over the place i don't see any right now mostly japanese and american let's be honest but you know you get the european cars why can't we have european trucks i think it'd be interesting i don't know how well they would do though because they wouldn't be very popular here that people want the bigger space but anyways enough of me yapping just sitting here in traffic a lot of traffic all over the country everywhere you go traffic traffic traffic oh green light green light i may as well yapp for a little bit longer see if i can get around this corner before it turns yellow don't you dare don't you dare we're gonna need both lanes here bud thank you for realizing that appreciate that i'm just gonna whoa whoa that was close no just look that way we're good we're good the way the shadow was bouncing off my trailer caught me off guard a little bit we had lots of room you know if they had european trucks here in north america but customize them to have the longer wheelbase and bigger custom sleepers you know i think they could make some i think they could make some money with them here but like i said there's probably some pretty influential people lob lobbying against that that van trailer is going to be my friend tomorrow all day i have a load that's in it that's going to canora but tomorrow is supposed to be one big blizzard again so it's gonna be fun we'll see if we can even get out of the yard we'll wake up in the morning we'll look out the window we'll look at the weather forecast if it doesn't change from what the weather forecast is right now i don't know we're gonna be going out with it tomorrow or not there's supposed to be 80 kilometer an hour winds 50 mile an hour winds up to 14 centimeters of snow so that's six inches of snow or so i think somewhere in there six to ten inches of snow and whiteout conditions with visibility being reduced to zero at times according to environment canada so it's a good day to go to canora we'll see what happens with that we're gonna do our best we'll we'll get here without four-wheel drive i have every confidence in my ability to get here and get to canora i'm just nervous about all the other people on the road with me they make me nervous i guess we'll see what happens i'm gonna go park because we're done for today and tomorrow looks like as long as the weather will be okay it'd be an easy day just a van load into canora and back it would take half the day if i leave here by 7 a.m i'd be back like just afternoon or something but i guess to find out what's going on it's a whole load of drywall i'll show you it tomorrow that's that's tomorrow that's a tomorrow problem i'm not even gonna open the doors on that trailer right now and check on it that's a tomorrow problem all right today is over only worry about today let tomorrow worry about tomorrow otherwise you get all stressed out and oh tomorrow problem right there canora into blizzard it's me it's me stay down febby stay down stay down so hard hey so hard yesterday
