 days here and we got trucking to do. Forgot to turn the heat on again yesterday before I parked it. It's still cold in here. This engine's ready to go. My body is definitely adjusted to warmer weather already because it's plus two outside right now. It's two degrees above freezing in Celsius and I feel cold. Then again, I'm not wearing my big winter jacket. I couldn't, I had it back there. But it's gonna warm up today so I bother. We didn't film a video yesterday on Tuesday. Took a little day break there. I try to get new videos out every day but in all honesty, I do miss one or two here and there. We'll just grab our coffee and we'll be on our way. Today I actually know what we're doing. We're gonna be pulling a curtain side trailer or a roll tight as they call them. I don't think it's actually called curtain side. I call it curtain side called roll tights. Because you roll it up tight, I guess. I like the trailers. I like the idea. I like the idea of not having to tarp and just roll the thing over. But it does get a little tricky, especially in the wind. But so does tarping. Still easier than tarping in my mind. So we're gonna grab one of those trailers. We gotta load some stuff on it, bring that up to Arbor, going back up there again and we're gonna reload right away so we're gonna unload and reload and come back. That'll be a big chunk of the day. Big chunk of the day. Not the whole day, I don't think, but. Are they gonna medium coffee? One cream and a shot of espresso, please? Medium one, cream and a shot of espresso. Do you wanna try a crueler with that today? No, thank you. Thank you. No super duper today. Tempting me with the honey crueler. Oh, how do I know that's my favorite? That was hard to say no to that. No, no, no honey crueler today. Maybe later, maybe later. Trying to stick to just the coffee in the morning. Yeah, we're gonna hook up to this trailer and that'll be a lot of the day. I think I said, what did I say? Two hour drive up north, two hour drive back plus loading and unloading. Definitely won't be the, well, you never know. Some things get dragged out and take longer than it should. On the debit, is it 4.30? Oh really? No way. Cool, can I pay for the guy behind me then? That's okay. Have a good day. That's gonna be a good day. That's gonna be a really good day. Someone bought me my coffee. Thank you, random, anonymous person in front of me in line. Very nice. So that's something that happens at Tim Hortons up here in Canada. It's called paying it forward. So when the person in front of you buys your coffee, it depends what kind of day you're having. I mean, if you can afford to, you pay it forward and pay for the people behind you. Unless if they ordered Thanksgiving dinner, then you think about it. But yeah, every once in a while, going through the drive-thru, I get a free coffee. Now you know it's gonna be a good day. Wake her up. I'm usually one of the first ones here. Not the first, but the truck's all running already. That's a highway driver there. There she is. Still sleeping. I'm gonna pay for five, four, six. Good thing I checked that. I was gonna start looking for five, six, four. Five, four, six. Roll tight. That's her. All right, so it's a flat bed, roll tight. You guys wanna see what's inside there? I do. Help me open it. The front door. That's a little dark out to see anything. Air in every single tire. Fantastic. This one's got extra mud flaps you gotta look out for. Make sure they're not ripped off. Ones in the back are the most important. Both intact, both in good shape. Now with these roll tight trailers, you're also gonna wanna make sure that these are tight and not left open or loose. I wanna make sure you have all your equipment. So in here, I've already checked, but you're gonna wanna make sure you have your tensioner. I gotta load a pallet right away. Gotta make sure you have your tensioner to release the tension at the back here. Up here, there should be a long stick. I haven't pulled this trailer yet, so I gotta figure out where it would be. Yes. Supposed to be a long stick that helps you roll up this back curtain. Every trailer, or some trailers have them in different spots than others. Maybe this one has it in here. I gotta pull it out into the open and I'll figure it out there. Just quickly double check these. Mudflat, mudflat. There you go. So I just gotta open up the tail, but like I was just telling you, I gotta figure out where that big ol' stick is. Thought it was supposed to be underneath. See, it goes in to the side of this here. Or does it? Well, this one's a little different, is it? No, no, there it is. It's just in there. I'll figure it out. I like a challenge in the morning. See, the other trailer had it in here. And it was very obvious. There's a grate in along the side here. This one is obviously designed a little different. Just to challenge my brain on Wednesday morning. Oh, maybe it's in here. I'm gonna loosen these things on both sides. Come out of there. Take them out of there. This whole thing. See, then we can get in here. That was that tensioner borrow I was talking about before. Gotta make sure your trailer has that, otherwise you can't release the tension on here. So the tool I'm looking for, it goes right into this thing here, and it's a long bar, with sort of like a hook handle at the end. And it spins it so you can roll this up and put it on top of there. I'll find it. I'll find it. And if I don't, I guess I'll just ask for help. Nothing wrong with asking for help, they say. I guess my pride could take a hit. Where is that little bar? I wonder if they keep it up front with all the equipment up at the front of the trailer here. See, it was too dark before where we were parked in the back. Maybe it's up here. If it's not here, I'm gonna have to go. Man, it's a really long bar, so it would be tough to hide it, you know? It's a long skinny bar with a handle at the end. It's all the chains I would need. It's definitely not in here. Okay, okay. I might need to humble myself and go ask a question. And one more look before I go and ask and look what I found hidden away up here. This is what I was talking about. Do those here. End of this bar here goes into here. You just roll her up. Brendan is gonna go and grab another forklift so he can grab it from this side. It's got longer forks. I'll tie it down or roll down the curtain. It won't be on our way. Easier, but still not bad. So apparently it's just a bunch of old wood. We're gonna bring them a bunch of old wood. Looks like done-age and stuff. A lot of this is all custom cut. It's wrapped in this foamy stuff that protects. They put this between their product and our trailers just to protect their product from getting scratched when the trailer moves around and stuff. Specialized cuts in there. This is all strapped in nice and tight. See what I mean? So instead of wasting the wood and just throwing it out, like a lot of places do, it's just how it is. You recycle it and you bring it back there and they can use it again. I'm gonna say two straps for that. Two. All right. Everything aside. Oh, everything's hooking on everything. If it's got a hook, it's gonna hook. That's my model. Okay, so this is supposed to go a lot smoother. We'll grab the hook end over here, okay? And we'll bring it with us over here and we'll just slide it right through here. It's easier to just pull it through. This is some tough rubber in here. Probably because it's cold. It comes through there and it hooks on there like that. You tighten it on the other side. So I just pushed through a little loop like that. Just enough for the binder. Now leave the excess strap inside here. You don't want that flailing out in the wind. It'll be safe in there. You want it to come through and around like this so that it gets pinched in there. See, that's what keeps it tight with this here. Then you go get your sight bar, which I should already have close by me here, but it's the morning time. Still bring this to the back and this will go in there. Gonna do the same thing with the back one here. Down this curtain and off we go. Going to the bumper. That go right through someone's windshield. I like how this trailer has the pressure gauge right in the back, easy to find, easy to see, but I guess it'll get real dirty there. Hi-ho, hi-ho, off to where I go. All the way up to Arbor again, about a two hour drive or something. It seems we've gotten rid of the snow yet. You see, I unlock it from the bottom of the deck like that. Tell you what, it all folded up to the front here. I can also glide it to the back. It worked this time just pushing on one side. Sometimes you gotta push on both sides, go back and forth and back and forth. Now we got an open deck back here. We take these straps off and unload this stuff. And that's what it looks like from out here. Pretty neat, eh? And there we go, we got our all button back up. Load it up. Look at that tarp job, eh? I'd say that's one of the best tarp jobs I've ever done. That was actually pretty easy. The guys here are really nice. They helped me roll it back. It opened just on the one side. I got very lucky actually that I could roll it all the way to the front without going to the other side. Usually it jams up. You roll on one side, it'll jam or get stuck. You gotta go to the other side, push that a little bit, get stuck. Go to the other side, push that a little bit and get stuck. And you can see that if it were windy coming from behind there, it really would have grabbed it and pushed it all the way to the front, could damage it. So you gotta be really careful in the wind. But this is my second trip now with, I keep calling it curtain side trailer because that's what it is to me. But roll tight is what everyone else seems to be calling it around here. It's a roll tight trailer. It's my second trip and this one went a lot better than the first one. I mean, the first one was bad. Thank you. That should be enough to get me home. So we were here for an hour. It's got a two hour drive back. It's 1130, 1231, 30. We should be back between 130 and two o'clock. So like I said, a big chunk of the day, not the whole day, but a big chunk of the day. Probably have one more quick assignment yet. And then it'll be home time. This is all ready to be dropped. Trip complete. Let's say five hour round trip, maybe a little less, a little over two hours both ways. It's got an hour there being unloaded and reloaded. And there we go. Leave it here in our loaded line. So I'm not too sure what I'm gonna be up to this afternoon yet, but we'll probably make this trip the feature of the vlog. You guys wanna see what I picked up, what it looks like. See, walk in the front door here. And there we go, you can see. And this stuff can't be out in the elements. So can you imagine tarping this? Before we had all these curtain side trailers, we would have to tarp this, definitely, if we had this freight. So all of these corners, stuff like that, stuff like that right there. This big time, this and this would definitely rip through our tarps in the wind as you're pulling it down the highway. And not only that, the tarps on this equipment might also damage this equipment as well, right? Sometimes it moves around, you'd have to make sure it's very tight. Or use a lot of rugs and protectors underneath there and cover all the freight and then there's ways of doing it, right? It's just more difficult. It's almost like a van trailer, right? It is exactly like a van trailer. I really like them. I really do. So they're a really neat idea. It's another Ford. Check this thing out. Just mint. Apparently we have close to a hundred classic and import and exotic beauties coming here in the next month or so as everyone's bringing their cars home. So shiny. All you can see is my reflection in it, eh? Wouldn't you just love to sit in it? So would I. So would I. I had to quickly include that at the end here. I've got a few more assignments to do. Gotta bring a van trailer into Winnipeg, pick up another one, bring it back here, but I think we filmed enough for today already. Just wanted to show you that car. The definition of fine right there. A lot of that kind of stuff. And now that, like I was saying, like spring is coming, it's starting to warm up here. All the snowbirds with their beautiful homes down south are all now coming home for the summer. And we're bringing their nice, fancy cars up here for them. Four o'clock. Oh, that's it for today. Tuck her in here and we'll see your first thing in the morning. Parked with all her friends. Don't stay up too late, okay? We gotta work in the morning. Crazy kids. You on the other hand are looking pretty nice. Nice and shiny. Good, good, good, good. Whoa, my keys are all tangled up and everything. Oh dear, oh dear. Guess I should turn her lights off. From the pater to the Chevy. We can pull anything light and heavy. Before I go though, I better not forget to hand in that paperwork from that load I just picked up and wanna throw it in the slot here. Now we can go home. Nice truck. I hauled many of those trailers when I was on flatbed. It's kind of tricky tying them down. I would have done them a little differently than that driver did, but some drivers got some different techniques. I just noticed I got a chip in the bottom right of my windshield over there. Oh, come on, I just put a new windshield in here, I thought. When did that happen? Can you guys see it over there? If not, good. Forget I said anything. Believe that.
