 Good morning everybody Here's Fargo, North Dakota got our coffee Get our pre-trip Keeping a close eye on my engine the oil level is still at the top The only problem is that I did see some oil going Going out the blowout valve or blow by I may say that that's where it was leaking from before too And then it comes out of there when there's too much pressure in the engine right and instead of wrecking the engine it'll blow past And out the blow blow past valve I'm not a mechanic, so I don't know how to explain everything in the most technical terms But I know what they do There's a little bit of oil coming out of there, but we did just get a service job, so We'll give it some time and see what happens Get on to the road here, and we'll be on our way We still have three hours to get to our customer be replaced because there shouldn't be Excessive oil coming out that too a little bit of blow by on a diesel engine is normal, but if there's too much I open up the engine and replace those seals Pardon me and replace those rings Let's hope it's not that 128,000 kilometers on this truck right now 15,000 a rebuild on this thing. I hope not a rebuild is much cheaper than buying a new truck a Rebuild could cost what anywhere from 20 to 35 thousand dollars depending on If you want to do a rebuild right from the frame or just the top see let's let's hope that there's no big problems Stresses me out a little bit Because there was no oil leak that they could find at the shop. That's a word and I know I lost the oil So either it was just a freak thing that When something like that happens is usually a reason And we changed all the seals now to make sure that it's not that I'm keeping a very close eye on my engine But if it still is leaking like that or if I still end up losing oil The way I was probably a very high chance that I'm gonna have to open up the engine and replace the piston rings at least I wasn't ready for that big of a Thing to happen I'm still not but whatever we're gonna do what needs to be done. We're just gonna keep on going life keeps throwing curveballs You got to keep swinging till you get that home run Eventually it'll happen the only way to guarantee you're not gonna get a home run in life though as if you stop swinging We're starting to get closer here these lumber loads that I take down to Minnesota, Wisconsin And pretty much just to get me down to the area The reason I'm down here is for that next load that I have waiting for me in a watana. Oh Atona However, you pronounce it That's the reason I'm down here with lumber down is a little better than just coming down empty At least the lumber pays for the fuel might throw me a little bit of spare change on the side but Like I said better than pulling the trailer down empty Once we get this lumber off the trailer shouldn't take too long I think it's about two and a half hours to Oh Atona Which is just south of Minneapolis and then they got to load the glass that usually takes at least four hours At least Tarpon yet, which takes about another hour and a half or so but I have to do a lot of waiting when I get there, too So the shortest I have ever been there to reload Was six hours that was the fastest in and of six hours the longest time was not too long ago that video That got like almost 30,000 views In the first week. I think I was they took 11 and a half hours to load me And if I would have known it was gonna take that long I would have just gone to sleep so I could start my day, right? Not making that mistake again It's gonna take a while. I'm just going to sleep Brits side of the family has a Family gathering our family get together thing tomorrow And I'd like to be there for it. It's like a mid-afternoon get together for late lunch or early supper From where I'm loading It's almost a full day Just being unloaded right now. I think they got a bow They got three more lifts to take off yet Right there. Well, it's a quick and painless delivery Lumber is usually pretty quick. There's not much to it. You just take it off trailer Park in the middle of a lot and they do the rest. I only had a Few lifts on there All right, so I'm supposed to turn a left here now. Okay. I checked out all the available routes Okay, who's got stop signs here? These small towns all these small towns in this area here only have two-way stops And then I don't know if it's a four-way stop I mean usually it says on the sign right but you don't want to just assume sometimes that four-way Four-way sign has fallen off It's hard to get onto these roads because it's quite a bit of traffic for these little farm communities After this here we go It's that SUV they're waiting for me very often people just floor it and cut me off because they want to go Even though I was at the intersection first Let's get going. So it's the next morning right now. It was a late night again But it didn't actually take that long to get loaded instead of having the glass in wooden crates It's in metal frames Which is great. It was really fast to load it this way and much easier to tarp it The only thing is I'll show you these crates once I deliver them to British Columbia because they're under the tarp right now and I'll show you the load yet just a little while but the tarps or Or the crates have these like sharp Points that come up on each end on all four corners of each one and I have one two three 10 11 11 or 12 of those crates So I had to make sure that the I put something on top of those Like sharp pillars, I guess you'd call them so that they don't rip through my tarps So that was the only inconvenient thing but other than that it actually Turned out pretty well and I got out of there pretty quick. I got there at about was it six o'clock around supper What was the seven? Think I might even close to seven Yeah, and I was done at midnight eight nine ten eleven twelve That's five hours That's a record because six hours was the record before that but at the same time I only had 30 minutes left on my clock To keep going after that so I just parked right there at the shipper and slept there overnight and now we're on our way again I was pretty tired And I just wanted to get as much sleep as possible because I'm trying to rush home today to get to a family gathering on Britside I'd really like to be there to see everybody, but it looks like I'm not gonna make it I might make it for the tail end of it. I don't even know if it'd be worth it for me to show up at that point then yet We'll see But at least I'll get to go home tonight see Brit and I'll be home for most of the day tomorrow and then tomorrow evening or afternoon We're gonna leave towards Surrey British Columbia with this load and it'll take us two and a half days to get there I could do it in two long days, but Take my time a little bit more and leave a little earlier just in case if there's snowstorms on the way There's supposed to be a snowstorm rolling into Minnesota here today They're supposed to get over a foot of snow and this was filmed on The ninth so March 9th so you guys can Let me know how bad it was when you watch this because you'll probably watch this about a week later My videos are approximately a week behind It just gives me time to edit them all when you edit every single day and make a video every single day It takes a lot of time and I don't have time to edit every day some days I've just got to get the load to where it needs to go So then I edit them on my spare time and my off time throughout the week and that way it makes it a lot easier on me I really do wish I could like release them as soon as it happens because that would make the most sense But I tried that I've been doing this for what seven years now every day or close to seven six years So man I've tried doing next-day vlogs and if you're not doing this like YouTube full-time as your job It's very difficult because I still got to manage all of this. I gotta manage my whole life yet I'm running a business here. I own this truck and I got to get these loads to where they need to get to I'm bound by a clock by the law So I have to get all my work done that I can within a certain amount of time And then I have some time off and then I can edit videos if I have time But usually after that I'm tired and I want to go to bed So I go to bed and sleep and then I end up having to edit a lot of these at home when I get home on the weekends or whenever I end up there so It's just been working a lot better for me this way. This is sort of the way I've always done it since the beginning so if you're unaware of that. Yeah, these videos are a little bit behind But there's supposed to be a snowstorm rolling into the Minnesota area here It's starting to snow just a little bit just a little bit and I want to get out of here before it really comes in Supposed to start at three o'clock and it's 12 30 right now Two and a half hours to get our butts out of here I have to end this vlog here though because I have to start tomorrow's because if I just keep talking There's gonna be no vlog for tomorrow So I'll see you then don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already Oh Decent decent that was an F-150 90s model not bad What I'm saying is subscribe hit that like button go down to the description of my videos There's links to all our social media down there my wife's channel all her social media as well I'll see you guys tomorrow.
