 Hey y'all this here is Trucker Steve from Florida currently in North Carolina You're watching Trucker Josh Vlogs Good morning, everybody. We're on highway 2 In Manitoba at the Saskatchewan border We got to get this steel into Waverance Saskatchewan and a small piece of it into Regina, Saskatchewan today Yet and then get back down to Waverance Saskatchewan for a reload that's going to Toronto It's a bit of a busy running around kind of day, but we got plenty of time to do it The daylight hours are short, but the days are the same length. Thank goodness So let's get our work done. Let's get out there. It's slightly colder up here. Oh Look at this. We're spinning Okay, oh I'll show you who's boss Okay, we're spinning. Let's lock up the niffs here days. I'll lock them up I got tools for this Okay, we're still spinning. Okay It's not it's been too much There we go. There we go Come on give her give her give her give her give her give her give her mother nature Stop me with a little bit of ice bring this to Waver and I'll say it's a little colder up here Then it was in Jackson, Tennessee where I picked this steel up Canada we're above western north Dakota or central north Dakota right now We're in this small little town. Uh, what's this town called? Reston It's in southwest Manitoba. Now I'm from the southeast southeast Manitoba. I didn't even know these towns existed out here No offense to you guys out here. I don't know the southwest corner of my province that well apparently What a nice little town very clean well kept Didn't have time to go for a walk and explore it, but uh, maybe next time Very nice little town You know if I was from Reston, I would be proud roads look a little slippery here I'm trying to get all the way to Waver and last night But it was raining and then it started to get cold after the sun went down And as you can tell all of that rain turned to ice A little slippery, but I saw the salt truck go by just before I got on the road I don't know if he's salted or just plowed it But we'll get there. This isn't our first rodeo This isn't even bad yet So that was the very definition of a mud lot. That's how deep the mud was It looked deeper in person But yeah, we just got stuck. We had to lock up the diffs. We got out of there. We got out of there Didn't even need a tug So this is what I got left on the trailer. This is going to Regina This is it That's it those tarps are mine What's funny and ironic is that my reload is literally right across the street from where I delivered the rest of the stuff Yeah, because I told you already rig is I got to come down here for my my next freight But I have to bring this tiny little piece to Regina first So I was unloading that stuff and I look across the street. I was like, oh, look at that. There's my load right there Be nice if I could just go there and pick it up But I can't because I got to go an hour and a half down the road To Regina wait a couple of hours then unload this afternoon and drive all the way back to wayburn wait overnight and then reload those things up tomorrow morning Then we can go home That's all right, whatever it's trucking right it's trucking. They're not going to pay me if I don't finish delivering everything Can't just dump it off in a ditch and say yeah, it's done That's why they got bills of lading and stuff to hold us accountable Because apparently if they didn't have that some of us drivers wouldn't actually do our work You don't say you couldn't trust people. No So I've got to go up to Regina Bring them their stuff get them to sign a fancy paper saying I brought them their stuff Then come back down here It's the way the world works What was that I couldn't hear you speak up lady What'd you say? You're gonna tell me again. You have nine hours and 28 minutes for remaining drive time Thank you. That should be plenty. All I need is an hour and a half. Well, I guess three hours there and back Oh, I bought myself a mars bar for a treat Yes, my favorite I don't have mars bars like chocolate bars in the u.s. I couldn't find them That's sort of like snickers but better I've been waiting until I got back to Canada all week already more on the mars bar My daily treat to myself while I'm trying to lose weight Okay, so we're gonna take highway 39 here Up towards the city Uh, we have plenty of time my delivery appointment is at three o'clock. I think we're gonna arrive there like Two o'clock So maybe they'll get us unloaded early who knows Just over the tracks thing right here. I got some steel for you bud Park right on our shoulder here back up in front of that little mini civic Or maybe I'll just park here The park anywhere and get away with it flashers go figure out we're in reginus the sketch one So he's lifting it up with that boom truck back there. I don't know if you can see it's probably not I gotta wait in here because as soon as they lift it off the deck, I've got to roll forward These but it's very long and flimsy and easily damaged so they have to be careful Just making sure it's not gonna damage it it's all right to show you this but I can't set it up right now. They're in a rush They'll just have to trust me done it's off my trailer all that wood that they put down so that they can get under it with the forks even though they didn't need that and uh Put all my tools away Go grab some fuel and head back down to wayburn It's gonna load tomorrow Whoa, it's a sketch one highways E-Ha Make sure you wear your seatbelt coming through here and you're gonna fly right out the window So we are going down highway. What is this highway 33 right now? I'm gonna meet up with highway 35 that's going to take us straight south down to wayburn We took the 39 and the 6 Up before so we're taking a little bit of a different route down I thought that maybe there'd be less traffic because it's not as big of a road It's still traffic, but we're moving along pretty good here Doing the speed limit at least An empty flatbed behind me there and uh Yeah, we're hurrying on down to wayburn to sit and wait till tomorrow morning I gotta load these I think they're giant spools That are going to toronto. I got two drops there one in fergus one in brampton and uh They say that they want their freight clean and they got a special note on their uh A special note on the the load offer or whatever you want to call it that says If freight is dirty wash freight before delivering to consignee Like what? Who washes their freight? Plot in the allison chains I'm not going to go wash my freight. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to tarp my freight I don't know why they said that if you don't want your freight dirty. Just tell me to tarp it I'll tarp it. It'll stay clean. Why would you tell me to go wash your freight? What am I going to go and find a truck wash and say hey, can you can you wash the freight? Would you like the truck washed sir? No, just the freight I'll just put a tarp on it So I called in to the office and said, uh They want their freight clean, eh? Yeah, you're gonna have to wash it Uh, no, that's wintertime all the salt and grime on the roads out here. I'm just gonna tarp it There you go. Not just a trucker. I'm also a genius So I'm not too sure how far down this road Actually, I'm exactly sure because Karen's throwing me right here 41 kilometers. I'm not too sure where I'm going. Come on 41 kilometers and we turn right and we head in towards Weyburn But never take me down highway 33 here for some reason and for some reason Karen always wants me to take highway 33 between Weyburn and Regina It's uh, it's a provincial highway. Whereas uh, well, no, no highway 39 is provincial It's just like a lower class of highway. I guess smaller highway I don't know why Karen always wants me to go here. I guess she likes to take the the scenic route 39 is more traveled This car in front of me here. He has not discovered the gift that God has given us called cruise control It is a magnificent gift. He gave it to us a Christmas a long time ago And uh, all of us appreciate it very much the most of us and use it regularly Some people like this guy in front of me hate Christmas And throw away all their gifts because they don't want any So he hasn't discovered that we have this option of cruise control or he just doesn't want it He's speeding up and slowing down speeding up and slowing down. I'm not talking a little bit I'm talking he's doing probably well. He's pulling away from me now. So he's probably doing 105 kilometer an hour or something He'll slow right down to 70 And then it will back up to 105 and back down to 70 I was reading the comments on my video about a week ago from you guys And I'm glad that the majority of you understand why I do it why I complain about it because I'm just saying out loud What you guys are thinking on a daily basis on the road I think just like you I get frustrated and annoyed at the exact same things as you. I just voiced them on the internet See It's what you call relatable Given or not still pulling away from me found his accelerator pedal at least at least he knows where that is Hopefully he knows where his brakes are he's gonna stop eventually You never know somebody's getting a spanking The law in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and Alberta Just slow down to 60 kilometers an hour when you're passing them unless if you're separated by a median Also goes for tow trucks and any other emergency vehicles Stay safe people. Wow. What you out lucky here? Wayburn Saskatchewan. Oh, I'm gonna have to take up this whole road here. I need to turn right This is a narrow corner They weren't thinking of me in my 70 foot unit when they made this corner It was not drag our trailer over this friendly pedestrian He's walking. He's even got a little blinky light on his backpack It's that we don't run them over. So let's not run them over There we go. There we go like a boss In 800 meters turn right on first Adam highway 13 You don't even let you're talking about Karen We're not going to the shipper now. We're going to the truck stop first one of the shipper in the morning I put the coordinates for the or the address I guess for the shipper Into the gps and Karen thinks we're going straight there She doesn't realize they're closed right now We got to go sleep first Well, we got some extra time to watch some tv Hang the tv up in the sleeper I'm uh still working on my z nation. I'm on season four now. Don't spoil it for me I 200 meters turn right on First Adam Karen I just explained this where I'm not turning here. It's a terrible idea Man people like to cut in front of me A lot here. I guess that was okay. That was okay. All right. I forgive you But yeah, I'm on season four and I download like full seasons onto my computer and onto my phone So, uh, whenever I'm Parked for the night or parked somewhere waiting like this I can just watch them and it doesn't use any of my data because I download them while I'm at home, right? So I'm slowly getting through it. It's actually a really good series Well, you're sort of right there Karen. We are gonna knocks. We're gonna go straight over. We're not gonna make a slight Right. I can see the co-op from here already where we're gonna park Continue on this road for 25 kilometers. You have no idea what you're talking about Karen I am pulling in right here on the right. We've stayed here many times and uh, Looks like my spot is still available I like that I always have a spot at every truck stop Don't take it It's usually in the back Alone somewhere where I'm not gonna have any neighbors. It's not because I don't like you guys. You guys are awesome I just don't want you to park right beside me if you don't have to Okay, I'm picky. I like to have a quiet night if I can All right, it's kind of muddy right now. Great. Oh, well Price I pay for a good spot Good quiet spot just off here on the left against the grass here Hopefully I don't get stuck. I gotta turn around All right, we have about 15 hours. So we have to get up. So watch the tv Enjoy the night a little bit this side of the way I took a diesel. Oh boy We go and walk the door so we don't fall out at the tv so we can watch some tv Mount right there all set and ready. What are you guys doing tonight? I'll show you what we're doing tonight Uh-huh watching some tv So yeah, thanks for watching We'll see you tomorrow
