 Oh over here just down the road from the Iowa 80 in Iowa on the I-80 That's the Volvo dealership. I Have gotten air compressor issue. I'll show you here one sec So we're here on the driver's side of the engine Keep it simple for you. You see this green hose Right here. It popped out of there It hadn't completely popped out of there before but I guess just as I was pulling in here just popped right out of the air compressor that's what that big block is right there and That goes to here governor up here and That's in short and to keep it simple like I said That's what causes the truck to go and it's not going now the air compressors just continually running and And It's not good Not good. Let's go inside and talk to the good people. I hope they're good people. I really hope they are Apparently they got 17 bays here Hope they got one for me She's still tracking me here Google I thought I told you to stop stop that So this is called twin bridges truck city. It's in Davenport, Iowa Close to Davenport anyway, not quite in town, but We'll see the Volvo dealership in Winnipeg really really gave me a bad impression So hopefully this Volvo dealership is better because I don't have any other option The part I need is a Volvo specific part What I could do is pick up the part from them and go back to TA if I can get back there Get them to install it there or See if I have the right tools, I don't think I have the right tools to get that off of there If I could get access to the tools I could do it myself It's always cheaper just to buy tools than to pay someone to use their tools And then you got tools So my dad always says it's always cheaper to buy the tools you need to fix it fix it yourself And then in the end you save money and you got new tools smart Okay Let's see see what we got a day here This is the source of my problem. This is the fix for my problem This the fix for the source of my problem I was gonna say it's the source of my problem, but this is actually gonna fix it 20 bucks. That's it And all I need is a adjustable wrench Pop the other one off pop this one back on stick the hose in there boom Problem solved So I can actually fix it myself. Oh Boy eight hundred dollars later, and we're out of the shop starting our day We're not late at least at least we're still on time so we got a new airline connection that connects my governor my air governor to my air compressor That'll get out of here. So there's a new airline connection that had to be picked up at Volvo and I figured well, why not get a full service right away, right? So I brought the truck back here to TA to get a full service because it needed it And then In the shop my air purge valve Decides to go to put At least it happened in the shop, right? But yeah, so we had to get the air purge Valve replaced right away as well. It's all in all with the service service was the most expensive part I mean I went with the premium. It was the middle option There's one better and one not as good, but I went with the middle one This truck is good to go again Hopefully we won't have any more of these little issues Dracula's for donkeys you know that The labor in these shops here is a hundred and twenty dollars an hour and at Volvo it was a hundred and fifty five dollars an hour if You want them to do work on your truck American That's close to two hundred dollars an hour Canadian like probably around a hundred and seventy five or so hundred and eighty dollars an hour That's a Volvo dealership. Wow, what do you need that much money for? Must be expensive overhead there something six wires turn left on 60th Avenue CRI 40 I can still remember when labor was 60 bucks an hour at all the shops And we all got mad when it went up to like 80 and suddenly it was at a hundred and everyone was just right mad And now it's at a hundred and fifty five US dollars per hour Crazy because the freight rates aren't going up, but the the shop rates sure are so is the fuel 300 meters turn left on CRI 40 so those extra expenses aren't being carried on to the customer like in most businesses So you guys aren't paying for these shop visits. We are All of this extra cost comes from the truckers We're not getting paid anymore, but we're paying more. It's not the end of the world. It's not terrible, but it is bad and Can I turn left here? What's going on here? Let's construct Hi, yeah, I'm good But I mean it's it's worth calling out, right? If you're gonna raise the shop rates to astronomical numbers like that you got to start raising freight rates then too And you know what that means that means that they've got to raise the price of all the goods That you guys have around you and nobody wants that so maybe we should just keep everything the same Wonder how much those mechanics are making apparently. I'm in the wrong line of business Apparently that should be a mechanic Loaded our trailer and I brought the empty trailer over to my shipper. They only want to load me in the morning But I was allowed to park there or I'm allowed to park there overnight And I they allowed me to drop my trailer there go out for supper So we're Bob tailing right now. No trailer behind us This is Davenport, Iowa. This feels like as America. I mean then again every state is about as America as it gets Iowa I guess it's sort of like right in the middle the heartland and Iowa reminds me a lot of home too Iowa the terrain in Iowa is very similar to the train in southern Manitoba where I'm from You know it's flat a lot of agriculture a lot of a lot of forested area of the state like this Because they have a longer growing season I don't know Iowa's always sort of felt a little bit like home Reminds me of home. I guess nice people here too going to I'm actually going to flying Jay I want to fuel my tanks up tonight because it's supposed to get a little bit cold overnight and I don't want to Have a low fuel winterizer gel Anti-gel in my fuel yet either and I want to do that because at home right now It's minus 40 with the windshield. It got cold again as a cold snap So I want to make sure that all the fuel I have in my tanks when I get back up north is ready for it Think worse than throwing your money away into a tow Just for your truck to sit in a shop to thaw out all that money away just because you didn't prepare I actually have to correct myself. I lied to you I'm sorry, but I'm an honest man, and I'll admit when I realize I lied didn't do it on purpose Davenport and Iowa are on the other side of the river just to our left. We are in Illinois So I guess Illinois reminds me of home a little bit as well some parts of it other parts are kind of scary Other parts being Chicago and anywhere around the lake. It's kind of scary there. Yeah, we are what's the city on? The Illinois side then it's like a staff works right on the border We're about to go over the bridge right a ways here anyway and cross back into Iowa, so we're close enough You knew what I meant these are These are They're not gonna load us today man So unfortunate They don't know that you're making the Lord of the weasels wait today. I Don't think they know diesel How dare they how dare they well I'm gonna go back there and grab some sleep because I did not have a very good night last night But thank God everything is fixed and good to go on the truck Huh got here an hour after they finished loading apparently Let's be nice to go home early You're here, so that makes me feel good You want to make me feel real good you can hit that subscribe button join the TJV crew here We make a new video pretty much every day every day while we're on the road anyway and tomorrow's another day We've got to load up this farm equipment first thing in the morning and start heading home Well, we're actually heading towards the sketch one But I think we're gonna Weasel our way past the house like what I did there diesel no comment Okay sneak past the house for a night because uh I'm gonna leave here on Thursday and I don't have to deliver in Saskatchewan two days away till Monday So I'll leave here tomorrow I'll be home Friday sometime. So it's Wednesday today Uh load tomorrow be home Friday sometime and I'll probably leave the little going to estivants of Saskatchewan It's about five six hours from home.
