 From Sumas, Washington with a load of Canadian lumber. I'm Craig and you're watching Trucker Josh on TJB. Enjoy Farmer Josh coming at you I'm still trucker Josh. I'm still trucker Josh. How's it going everybody? It's a new day We ended yesterday's vlog here delivering that mower off my trailer We got that off there now. We've got three more stops Swift Current Shaunovan, that's what it's called. Keep forgetting the name of this town never heard of it before The Swift Current, which is this one here. This one we're doing next plus a crate up front And then yeah, Shaunovan you can see it on the back there written on there Shaunovans to scatch one and we end off in Maple Creek I'm trying to get them all done today yet. We might have to finish in the morning. I Know one thing for sure They don't keep moving We're all gonna get any of them done Just delivered here. It's time to get going Love tractors Okay, let's get out of here. Let's go to Speedy Creek formerly known as Swift Current rushing waters Speedy Creek Swift Current fast waters Whatever you want to call it Let's go Don't anybody get in my way. Don't anybody get in my way Moving slow slow slow Driveways just they're off to my left So Swift Current is about an hour and a half a little over an hour and a half from here Give or take hour and 45 minutes. Maybe nobody's coming. Nobody's coming if they see me coming Okay, good. They're getting off the road They were driving in the middle of my lane there for a second. Oh, no, we got those kind of cyclists the super serious ones Don't forget to shave your legs. I'm all for people being healthy on the road cycling around But man, do I hate it that they're allowed to use the same road as me? That's so dangerous on the road all the time I'm actually somewhat of a cyclist myself not to brag or anything, but I've got myself a pretty sweet cruiser back at home Got the fenders on it and everything so I don't get my back all sprayed Old man cycler right here. I love my bike Brett got one too We need to do more bicycling maybe we do some bicycling this this weekend. Oh, look at this in the ditch. What's that? You see that? That was a buck anyone hungry dinners in the ditch over there Gonna get busy here soon. They're gonna have to stock up Big yard though. I just talked to them in there and Said go around here to where I see the other loaders and we'll unload that With the other ones check out this big. This is an air seeder right and I can correct me farmers if I'm wrong, but It's a little different than the one that I or that I was around growing up It wasn't our farm, but they had an air seeder and the the the last part was a lot smaller than this one It's a piece of equipment. Hey, here's all the equipment. It's all in the back. Oh, okay A lot of times they'll have it displayed out front, but I'm probably moving things around equipment. So fascinating. It's Amazing what people have invented. I come from a heritage of farmers really the midnight. So that's what we did Now we're truck drivers, but in our area There's two main occupations. You're either a farmer or you're a truck driver I'm on the truck driver side of things on park like right over here somewhere where you can get at both sides change this again to say that I am Unloading Okay Okay, let's get our straps off so that we're ready when he gets here some of these are There's I think this crate is theirs. This one back here is theirs It should say swift current swift current this one. Okay up here at the front That's maple Creek Swift current Just just the one what does this one say? It's not having any writing on it anymore Sean Chauvin and so whatever that town's name is caught still don't know what the town name is called. What's one say? Maple Creek. Okay So it's just the one box This crate here and that at the back Educator down soon. He's gonna be out here soon with his forklift We're done Just gonna do one more walk around make sure I tied everything down properly before continuing down the road You see their crate here is gone tied down that one again the corners on and Their loader here is gone. This one's going just down the road So it'll be fine there put all the corners back on set my straps are protected rubber to protect the actual load from my straps Everything here so you have this One inch or two inch strap here holding the bottom of that bucket in just in case of that band snaps You have this up here going over the bucket holding the bucket down and the loader itself down You got this going over the actual loader here holding just the loader down and also you'll see in there That the strap is also holding the top of the bucket from being able to wiggle Pushing a pushing it up against The bands at the front here just in case the band snap. You always want to make sure that you have a good Backup never trust just one securement Always have a backup because if one of your securements breaks or snaps There has to be something else holding that load on there so that you can pull over and fix the first strap Okay, because if you're if you just got one strap over it and And that one snaps by the time you realize and pull over you've lost your load It has gone through someone's windshield and you're filling out a lot of paperwork and possibly being placed in handcuffs You don't want that if you were wondering that's an event we try to avoid We don't want to hurt anybody and we definitely don't want anybody to die Right old blue right paperwork signed Figure out the address for our next delivery here It's going to Sean of them Where's just down the road across the highway that will greet truck stop all of you who drive up here know exactly what I'm talking about They're working on it They're working on it Be very careful over there. You'll sink in to your axles and get stuck Working on it watch out for these big rocks if you got low bumpers This pavement is here For I don't know what reason but probably used to be a building here Watch out over here when you're coming around because you usually come in that way Watch out over here That could hurt I could hurt you can see some trucks have scraped along it already has a big drop there They've actually filled up all the potholes here It's not packed yet. As you can see they filled one up here and That guy pulled in here and showed us all that it's not packed in yet Tonight it's a good place to stop garbage cans over there. You got a Motel over there with a roof over your head if you need one I'm gonna stay in my truck though, and then you got all this space over here, but this Area here with these trees. I don't know what it's doing here It could be parking space, but Nature it's nature space. You need your green spaces watch out for this pothole this guy nailed it. I Saw his truck just drop right down. I don't think it's bumper head, but mine definitely would oh, I just got nailed in the head with a What's that a bug? I think a bug just flew right into my head Again the potholes have been filled in but they're still very soft Very soft Trans Canada highway there. We're facing south right now They had they already have a truck coming first thing in the morning tomorrow, so They said since I only got two loaders on here. They could probably just squeeze me in anyways first thing I was disappointing. I rushed and rushed all day, but it wasn't rushy enough They said that they're open till six, but Their receivers are actually gone by like three o'clock. I don't know why but That's cool. That's cool. It's way to do things now. We know Kind of had a feeling already because I've done this stuff for long enough I kind of had a feeling no one's really gonna be there at like five thirty six o'clock So I called the head said oh, hey, I'll be there at five thirty. I see you're open till six Is there anyone there to unload me? I got two loaders for you. Oh Everyone's gone home already is like 430. Oh the trucker I Have six hours north to drive from my reload in Meadowlake, Saskatchewan I got a load of lumber that's going down in North Dakota I was hoping to be there in the morning now I'm gonna unload here in the morning and then drive six hours up and be there tomorrow afternoon and Then probably get back down to a round Chamberlain again where we spent last night It's been the night there and then do the rest on Friday. I guess that is deliver that load into North Dakota and I'm pretty sure I'll be just going home empty from there because it'll be Friday already Unless they got something for me to pick up I mean, I'll go pick up something they want me to but I have a feeling I'm just a few hundred kilometers or a couple hours From home at that point, but probably just I'll probably just go home for the weekend from then This is trucking you never know you never know Never assume. Okay
