 All right, so we got the charger on the train and I got it running this morning, ran nice. Should be all ready for Brit when she leaves to go get it looked at later today. It started up, no problem. If you missed the last few videos, we've been having problems with the battery on the train and Brit's taking it in today on her day off to get it all fixed and looked at. It might be the block heater as well, so we're gonna get everything checked out on the whole vehicle. But I didn't have any problems getting it started today and I had it on a truck of charge all night and that seemed to do the trick. So I let it run for a little bit there and then put it back on the truck of charge and should be no problem for Brit to get it going later. It's pretty cold, it's about minus 27 Celsius when I woke up today, so it's still a little cold for these engines to start up if you don't got a good battery block heater. I'm glad we're getting that fixed right away though. And that's one less thing to worry about in the cold. Should have done that in fall. Had I known that it was gonna be an issue, I definitely would have, but I thought it was still good. Nope, winter has proven that to be false. Welcome on to the hotel, please. Could I have a large coffee with one cream and a shot of espresso in it, please? For sure, would you help? That's it. Do you know anything about it? Super duper. One of you asked in my comment section two days ago, what my budget is for Tim Hortons in a month. Some of you have asked me, or one of you asked me at least, what my budget is for Tim Hortons in a month. You'd probably be surprised, it's less than 50 bucks the whole month. The coffee the way I get it even with my espresso shot is only about three bucks, which is too expensive in my opinion, but whatever, whatever, three bucks and I don't get one every day. And it's usually just in the mornings, so let's say three days a week. So that would be three times three than nine, so let's say 10 bucks a week, 40 bucks a month, plus the extra odd one here, and then yeah, about 50 bucks a month. I mean, I don't spend a fortune on it. It might seem like it, because I talk about it in my videos a lot. It's a treat every time I go there. Now usually we make coffee at home in our, we have a Tim Hortons coffee maker there. My coffee's pretty good, but we use Maxwell House coffee too, so it's not exactly Timmy's coffee. I don't know, we're weird. Look at this, the sun is almost above the horizon this week on the way to work, almost. Makes me feel like I'm late. Couple of weeks and we'll be driving to work in the sunlight, in the direct sunlight. And then daylight savings time will come and mess everything up again. Industrial, commercial buildings and activities are, so most of the things I pick up will be in this corner of the city, or a lot of them anyways. Don't buy anything, they're gonna throw it. And nobody's here, nothing this way so that I'm not looking directly at the sun. Denali yet too, isn't it? A Denali Duramax, brand new. So they're just devising a plan right now, and I gotta sit here for a few minutes, so. Shouldn't be too long. They'll let me know what I need to do. I got 28 feet of trailer. I mean, it's a single axle pup, so it's not a very big trailer. I can fit about 12 skids in there. Full-size skids, I believe. Maybe 14. I've never actually checked, but it depends how big the skids are. Every skid I pick up seems to be a different size. But the standard skid's like four by four feet. And then some skids that I pick up are like one by threes and there's two by twos and three by threes. It's sort of like whatever they find they put the stuff on, that's what I get. Whatever, we'll fill it all up and bring it to where it needs to be. We got some action. Three skids sent to us by the load gods. Gotta go pick them up a little south of here. So they just put three pallets on me. I'm just gonna check in here to make sure that everything is as it should be, and that they returned my pallet check. This has happened before recently that they didn't. Not the same place. It's just so heavy. There's a terrible room to there, my ladder's there. Straps are here. We'll really need some work. I am building the muscles, opening it up again and again. She's dirty again. Dirty. Let's let them know that we're ready for more. So this is the portal to the load gods. They're at the other end of this thing somewhere out there. All I do is work just like a CB radio, except it's a two-way radio, so it's only the people on here that you actually wanna talk to and need to talk to, which is very nice, because on the CB it's just a bunch of people yelling at each other, two-way radio. It's actually just business and you get things done real quick. It's easy to communicate with them right away. So I'll let them know that I'm loaded. They'll confirm and then they'll give me my next direction and then I write my directions on my little notepad here. I write where I'm picking up, what I'm supposed to be picking up for how many skids or whatever, and then I write where it's going to and then I head off in that direction and then at the end of the day, when I deliver it, I cross it out off my page here so I know what's still on my trailer and what has been delivered already just by quickly taking a glance. I had my notes here. So we just gotta wait for them to figure something out there and they'll send me off in the direction I need to go. I only got three skids on me, so I can, I got like a whole trailer yet. So we'll just wait a sec for them to get back to us. They got a lot going on on their end. All right, they have answered our prayers and our calls and they have given us work to do. They are so kind. We gotta head to the south side of the city. I'm on North Rope 90 right now. I gotta go to South Rope 90, so just straight south. Somebody there needs me to pick something up. The man for the job turns out I've got a truck and trailer. I'll pick it up for ya. I'm going to King Edward Street here. Also known as Rope 90, that goes through the city. I say 15 minutes, don't it would take 20, but. Doesn't look like traffic is too bad today. Look at this, this road is empty. This is one of the busier, we'll get down there in 10 minutes. One strap on that back stack. One strap, I wouldn't trust that. But hey, if he feels it's good enough, that's his load. This went crazy when I was on flatbeds over strapping. If people would recommend me to put two straps on a piece of freight, I'd find a way to put three or four. Just for peace of mind, you never want to lose anything off those flatbeds. It's a lot of paperwork, big mess, never ends well. Especially on these bumpy Winnipeg roads, you don't want your freight flying all over the place. When you're on flatbed, you want at least two straps on your first stack of freight and your last stack of freight. Just to prevent it from twisting or moving in any type of way that would loosen the strap, right? And allow it to fall off the back into traffic. Okay, but I think you could have made that, but safer is better, I guess. Good for you, good for you. Now, across the street to the left, you see that big pile of snow or that big cube of snow and ice? That's gonna turn into one of the famous Winnipeg snow sculptures. They put them all over the city. It's really neat every year. In February, there's the Festival de Voyageur. That's a festival in our French quarter of the city. And it celebrates the first voyagers that came up the rivers here and settled. They were French. I had to quickly dip out of Winnipeg for one call. Got five skids to pick up that needs to go back to Winnipeg to St. Boniface. So we're just southeast of the city here right now around the Lorette area. And they got five skids for me that have to go direct straight back to the city. We have to get them there before they close. The time is now 10 after two. I think we should have lots of time. It's probably about 20 minutes back to where I need to be. I guess it depends when they're receiving shuts down, eh? Some people like to shut their receiving down at like 130 for no reason. But hey, whatever, whatever you wanna do. Let's see, where are we going here? Where are we going into St. Boniface, St. Boniface. Here it is. Let's see. Yeah, about 25 minutes from here. So let's say I'm waiting for another guy here to get loaded. They'll probably get to me in about 20 minutes. That's 20 minutes or about an hour. I guess I'd be there a quarter after three. Yeah, I guess, I guess I see what their dilemma is. They were talking to me like they wanted to make sure that this would get there. And I said, oh, that shouldn't be a problem. I mean, unless if you close, you're receiving down at 330. We should be there. No problem. I'm guessing we should get, get back to St. Boniface in Winnipeg, 315. It's my best guess. Let's see how close I was. First, we gotta get loaded here. Five big skids. Five big ones. He's got a 53 foot trailer beside me here to load first though. This guy's got room for one, two, three, four, five, six placards on the side of his trailer. Six. How many dangerous goods are you hauling that thing, man? You need six placards on your load, man. That's crazy. I'm just like, put a big sign across the whole side of it. Dangerous. Stay away. The placards that you see on the side of some trucks and some trailers, there's a little diamond shaped placards, right? It tells people in the event of an accident, let's say like the pile up in Fort Worth not too long ago. When you get to an accident scene and you see a truck with certain placards on the side, it'll tell the people there responding to the accident. What is inside the trailer that's dangerous? Is it flammable? Is it corrosive? Is it a dangerous gas? Is it a dangerous liquid? They need to know what's in the trailer before they open it up. And if it's exceptionally dangerous, they know to get all people away from that truck as quickly as possible, right? And they know what kind of team they need to call in for a cleanup if it's spilt everywhere. Dangerous goods could be anything from gasoline to diesel fuel, to sulfuric acid, to whiskey, alcohol, anything flammable, anything that could be of a harm to you will be considered a dangerous good and you need a special certificate just to be able to haul that load. You gotta go through a special training course. That took entirely a lot longer than I thought it would. But there were some issues. They couldn't get the paperwork printed off. Something wrong with computers they weren't printing. So that took up probably an extra 20 minutes there. So the time is now three o'clock. And now I'm thinking I'm probably going to, they're at 3.30 now. According to Google, we're on schedule. Should be arriving at 3.27 this highway. We gotta go through some city first. Still on schedule. This guy with his big wide tires. Again, wouldn't the whole side of your truck be full of scratches from rocks? Then again, we're in the city and city boys don't really take their trucks off the pavement that often. So I guess they don't have to worry about that. I never thought of it that way. I was like, you have a four wheel drive, you have a truck, why are you gonna leave it on the pavement? That's not what it's made for. Nice truck though, nonetheless. I just wouldn't do the wide tires like that. I don't know, it's not my style. Let's see if I can get across this road here. We're fairly like a Dawson road off Lodge of Maudier. Gotta go a little ways into the St. Boniface industrial zone here to drop these skids off. They are a bunch of hot skids, it's a hot freight. It needs to be delivered right now. Usually makes the whole neighborhood just stink. I've noticed it in a few years though. So I don't know if they've fixed that or if they've just stopped packaging the meat here. I don't know, this is one of the dirtier industrial zones in Winnipeg and the Manitoba. This is an old one. Bag will officially arrived at 3.28 p.m. Right on schedule. It's freaky how accurate Google is. Down to the minute, it's crazy. Okay, I gotta call them, let them know I'm here because this is one of those places I'm not allowed to go inside there. I'm here in a long time. Just had to quickly go back there and check to make sure they didn't break anything. They were pretty rough unloading me there. Everything looks good. Man, they were definitely in a hurry. Probably because they close, well I got here, what, 3.27? They only got me in a dock at four o'clock and I'm pretty sure that they close around four to 4.30. So they were obviously in a big hurry getting me unloaded. This thing was just all over the place there. Nothing looks broken, everything looks good. So that's why I like to be on the dock because usually if anybody's in a bit of a rush or if they just don't care about other people's property, they're usually a little bit nicer on the equipment if you're standing in there watching in my experience. But it's all right. No harm, no foul. Just a little bit of a bumpy ride in the cab. All right, let's see what's next. Let's see what's next. You know what I should actually call in from right here. You guys know what time it is, right? 16th, 2021. My best guess is they're not gonna be fixed until May. We have a really warm April, but nope, I still see them on there. Still not fixed this place and make it bigger. Maybe that's why they're not fixing it. We can only guess and speculate and spread rumors and conspiracies about it. That's all we can do. Radio, radio, radio. Gonna give my super secret fuel card here, which has a super secret password. Gonna go put it into the little box over there and it's gonna give me some go-go juice so that I'm all set for tomorrow morning. So I have to park really close here because we got a string over this and it's not meant to string over, but it reaches if you park close enough. It is what it is. All right, you guys missed the Rockstar welcome, but believe me, I once again feel like a Rockstar. That's all you got left, Diesel? Don't worry, mom's gonna be home right away as you can freak out all over again. And you guys will probably pass out from all the energy that you just burnt. I just took them out, so. Oh, that's probably Britt right there. She is coming back from the city because she was working with, or getting the train all fixed up today, right? And it looks like everything is all fixed. It was a little bit of a pricey bill, but we were expecting it to be a little bit higher, so we're not gonna complain. Where did that sound come from? I don't know, it came from here. Did she say something? Oh, that was dad. And asked me, how was my day? My day was great, thank you.
