 Looks like the snowstorm is done and Past we stayed here in Fergus Falls, Minnesota at the big chief truck stop Snowstorm was pretty brutal yesterday. So we got rid of the trailer. We were delivering it went to actually a little bit of a different spot then What I was told the first or what the paperwork said they wanted it brought to their shop, which makes sense They're gonna haul snowmobiles in there. That's pretty cool So they can live up at the front and I go to these I don't know if they go to snowmobile shows or snowmobile events I didn't ask but they're really excited to get the trailer. They had bought it from a guy in Quebec and we were the The fortunate ones that got to bring it there. It was a really nice trailer It rode really nice. It pulled really nice. It was really smooth. Everything was pretty good It was a used trailer but in really good condition So I hope that they make good use of it Like I said yesterday, you can use that for whatever you want to a lot of you guys in my comments section We're saying that it was for race cars. I'm not sure if you could fit a car in there It was a little narrow for that. I mean, you probably could maybe I don't think it was designed for that though I think it was designed to haul ATVs and snowmobiles though That's I'm not an expert on this stuff But maybe you could use it as a race car trailer too But I think those are a little bit wider yet And I'll have a little bit the different tie down structures inside the trailer yet You could tell this trailer was made for ATVs So that's that's gonna be fun after this snowstorm. I'm sure that they're Itching to use it and get out there in the snow We're just getting ready to go here. How's my beard look? I've been growing it out a little bit I don't know if that's a good thing or not But it requires a lot more maintenance when you grow it longer keep her combed. I Don't know if I'm gonna keep growing it or not Every once in a while like I've always wanted to have a big beard at least once in my life Right at least once and every time I get you about this length. I go. Ah, it's a lot of work Don't really like it. Man. I cut it off. I give up Oh We'll see I grew it out a little longer this year just for winter because winter's so cold and I'm working Outside all the time it actually does help keep the face really warm and then you know You wear the tube and the face mask and everything it just it helps insulate a little better That's why we're doing that. But let's get on the road here. I want to go grab a coffee real quick as soon as I can Let's head home. We're Bob tailing Made to have weight on the fifth wheel. They're they're made to be pulling weight They're not exactly designed to be going across country without a trailer So when you take the trailer off The suspension is heavy-duty and you notice every little bump It used to be a lot worse on the older trucks like when I was growing up in the trucks My dad drove in like the 90s if you were Bob tailing Oh, is that a rough ride every bridge connection every little bump every pothole It would put your back out pretty much You have to go to a car practice after the end every day before airbag suspension and air ride on the cab What's this guy doing? Why do you stop on the shoulder my friend? Why don't you go on the off ramp? One second here give this guy some space. I'm not sure what he's doing pulling So he's good at least if you're gonna break down It's nice to break down right in town. It's that Nowadays on these new trucks, they ride like Cadillacs. They're pretty smooth Especially compared to how they used to be You know, you have air ride suspension on the cab. So the cab is sitting on airbags That's connected to the frame. So the frame is bumping up and down But the cab stays nice and level and smooth And then we also got air ride on the rear suspension of the truck Some trucks even have air ride on the front on the steers. This one doesn't it's not as common to have that But that is very nice to have if I ever had my own kw9 one day. I want to have a ride front suspension. Absolutely This is Grand Forks. We have Walk right now About another two and a half hours of driving ahead of us I have three and a half hours or no almost four hours available to me here in the US once I hit Canada we switch over onto Canadian hours of service and It'll add a few extra hours on there So there's still a snowstorm going on this morning So I waited I waited out the storm especially since I'm bobtailing. I didn't want to mess around the storm Something is squeaking back here You hear that Driving me nuts squeaky. That's what I mean that the truck is bumping so much that everything is sort of rattling around in squeaking Sorry, if that's been bugging you've been bugging me too, but we I got up at five this morning It was still a really bad snowstorm and Got up again at seven thirty it was still storming really bad and that went on till about eight thirty nine o'clock Okay, I'm gonna have to do something about this squeaking. This is driving me nuts. I'm sorry guys. I'll talk to you a bit later I don't have to fix that Just crossed onto the Canada side of the border looks like there's a long line up to get into the US today A little bit slow moving there. Look at it goes all the way down there yet They're all trucks going to the US my friend my friend. This isn't the parking spot But there is a nice parking spot right in there if you would like to go in there or you can just stay on the road Whatever, I'm not gonna tell you what to do Look at this lineup Holy smoke or onies look at this But all my back over we got good news good news scales closed Good news. I always say it's very rude to ask a guy is wait. I'm already in Manitoba Karen Where are you? Were you sleeping? Sleeping on the job here Look at all those people America look at this. This is all your goods. Oh goes further back like one window open I think it's time to open another window there US customs Wow, it's cool. I've never seen it this long. I've seen it up to about here before But I've never actually seen it That that far Wow a lot of stuff for our American friends My truck is still squeaking away. I haven't been able to fix it yet My goodness, this isn't my regular truck because if it was that would be fixed first thing First thing we'd get the squeaking fix that drives me nuts all day Like having a mouse in your ear Give that mouse some cheese Do something make them be quiet Another hour and we'll be done popping the pickup and be home in no time 530 look how much light we have left in the sky yet best time of year When you realize that the daylight hours are getting longer again That feels good Last month it was completely dark at this time already Nice so we parked the old Western Star over here there she is All tucked in for the night plugged in Ready for whatever adventure awaits it tomorrow I'm not gonna be in that truck tomorrow. I'm gonna be back in the old Pete 30-06. We have some Winnipeg work to do tomorrow. So It's gonna be a little cold. So we're gonna wake up and ready for it We're gonna be ready by the time we get here. We're gonna get ourselves psyched up and get ourselves pumped We're gonna have a good time But that's something to worry about tomorrow that fun is for tomorrow. We're not done having fun tonight yet Let's go home have a shower and sit back and just enjoy being home The best part of the day, isn't it?
