 Good morning everybody. It's Wednesday The cleanup crews here in town are A little bit behind schedule again, I think because everyone's on their way to work and they're still out here blocking the streets And there's no way to get around them this time. So I guess we're just gonna wait. It's a cold one today minus 30 so what they're doing up ahead here is they're taking all the snow off of The median here that's blocking people's or impeding people's view of the road, right when you're crossing the road They're knocking it onto the street and then there's a big tractor up ahead in front of this truck here You can sort of see the plume there. It's got a massive snowblower on the front of them and he's blowing the snow into trucks That are rolling alongside him Like gravel trucks. They're hauling snow instead of gravel People who live in climates that don't have snow would find it interesting how we clear off our Clear off our medians because you know how it's all piled up over there Once it gets too high and you're trying to make a turn or cross over the road It makes it very difficult to see cars coming and it can cause accidents So we have to clear that off a couple of times a year And they are they usually have all of this done Before we wake up and before we all go to work but today for some reason they must be running behind See, there's the big snowblower right there Come on start for me Start for me. I know you're not gonna want to but you have to work to do minus 36 Let's go. Happiest, but all right. My friends were hooked up onto a step deck open deck They gave me the option either a flat bed Or a step deck. I always pick a step deck if I have an option just because the the deck area where I'm working with is lower I don't have to reach up as high when I'm tying stuff down I shouldn't give you my secrets though. What are my secrets patented ideas? Trucker Josh copyright watch out Okay, so My suspension is just adjusting here. It's not actually leaking so don't panic These glad hands are really tight Really hard to get onto the trailers That's good. That means they create a good seal Just a little bit because they don't have a handle might have a handle here to grab on to these don't have that so it's okay Hook those onto everything. We'll do our little pre-trip here We'll roll up the landing gear make sure the truck brakes are on still right no air leaks And hey, like I said yesterday, you're gonna be hearing this a lot for me on and off We're not gonna make the whole vlog about it, but if you guys want to do this the same thing I'm doing you want to drive here you want to pull these vans you want to Pull these step decks if you're a Canadian citizen or have a legal right to work in Canada already You got some trucking experience.

That's not compressed Working back here Beautiful license plate light. Yep Beautiful. I Hope these brakes aren't frozen This truck actually needs a driver. This is not my usual truck. You're new to my channel We have a few trucks like this that need drivers. I'd love it if you'd come here work with us We're based south of Winnipeg Manitoba We also have a terminal in southern Ontario in Waterloo. So if you're nearby either of those places I mean, we even hire people from other provinces too. It doesn't really matter where you live I don't know. Send me an email. We're gonna try to fill these trucks All right, come on. Come on. Come with me trailer. Do not be frozen. I command thee The name of your lord Diesel Whistle Yes Tires are turning nice. Okay. We're good to go. Let's just make sure it's not gonna fall off here Nice little Tug test tug test I get nervous doing tug tests on the ice like this because is it really a tug test if it's just gonna slide on the ice, right? Okay, right on okay, I got to fill out some paperwork or some computer work here Let the government know that I authorized this trailer. I trucker Josh I authorized this trailer and I vouch for it that it is safe to use on the highways and byways of Manitoba and North America And that if I am lying I can be fined for that Rolling into the tight streets here a little bit. Well, you're a pee in tight streets But for our big trucks, these are about as tight as you want to get them any tighter than this and you won't be able to make it out But what happened to this building? Why has it got those boards all the way across it like that? But yeah, that's for like But it's right over that nice painting. It's weird But I bet it's for like putting Advertisements on there like screwing them on to the wood or something like a big billboard I still got his Santa and snowman out on the front yard. Well, I guess we can't talk We still got our frosty the snowman on our front deck, too He stays up there all winter and did we ever get a lot of snow here this year though? It's been a really snowy winter. They're calling for possible floods This spring already. I hope not because Winnipeg's a river city So when we get a lot of snow all of the like the Red River comes from the US It's one of the only rivers that flows north in North America, and it it comes from like south of Fargo, North Dakota So all the snow that North Dakota has is all coming up here through Winnipeg into Manitoba Up into Lake Winnipeg then eventually it ends up in the Hudson Bay So springtime if there's a lot of snow in our region it all comes like it's like a bottleneck right in Winnipeg You got the Asiniboine River that comes out of the west and meets up with the Red River right downtown at the forks And those two converge and it's just a big mess So I'm hoping we don't have floods this year The last big flood we had was in 97. It was the flood of the century It was bad It was really bad It'd be nice if they would like widen these streets just a little bit because the the snow banks are Narrowing our street here, and it'd be hard for two trucks to pass here already Good thing. It's not like a heavy truck route. It is a truck row, but it's not like heavy traffic Not many of us will be coming down here. I'm lucky that truck up there turned the other way All right, this is our turn coming up here right beside Elmwood school right in here. Nobody coming. Nobody coming Nice, so we're on the east side of Winnipeg right now East of the Red River the Red River is that way and it flows north That way that's where all of this water all of this snow once it melts It's all gonna head that way to the ocean and the Hudson's Bay Manitoba is pretty low-lying land. It's the lowest part of the prairies in general So all of the all of the water from out west on all the prairies that all sort of pools up here Here's my turn coming up here Pick up in here. This is where you have to usually blindside it in but instead of blindsiding it in this time I'm just gonna nose right in and I'm gonna back out because I have a sleeper behind me now And I just feel like that's gonna be my best option. That's tight. Yeah, that's I'm dragging it into the snowbank there a little bit Okay, I mean you get so much snow where are you gonna put it right? Wires hanging down a little lower than I'd like it to yikes. Why is this hanging down like that? I didn't touch it Okay, I got a turn in here. Hopefully there's nobody in there right now already I even make this corner usually they have this all cleared out for us and Doesn't seem like they have Okay, okay, a little bumpy little bumpy. That's okay. It's just bumps Might let this FedEx guy passed me here first No, he's stopping okay, so I'm gonna have to make a little bit of a three-point turn here Or can I make it? Can I make it? It's gonna be close It's gonna be close close close close Made it Okay, see it'll be easy to back out. I'll just put the trailer out that way All right, we made it trailers in Okay, so we're loading up some of these white crates here and let the guy there do his job and load me up and See we can get out of here afterwards Loaded up and now I got a back out of here This guy came in here after me. I had to move over so he could get loaded It's a back out of this tiny space under that tiny road now, and I'm 110 inches wide I'm a little bit wide. I'm not that wide. You barely notice it But legally I have to put the flags on there and a lot of da See a real close to that pole there in my mirror real close And Got a guy out on the street watching traffic there for me. It's not hit the pole, but let's get very close to it Post on the other fence there. I hit that other post there. It looks like we're good Just need to sneak past this pole here now really close to it. There we go Okay, I don't know if I'm gonna make it Rearranged myself just a little bit here Okay, there we go. Don't want to hit that fence behind there either, right? I can see my Tire there on that fence Telling me I can it's tight, but we're out. I banged you guys on the roof Kind of see where my front end is didn't hit anything And here we go Gotta be careful with this freight too that we have You can't strap this the straps too tight or you'll damage the freight I got to be careful with everything. You don't want to damage the freight though. The whole point of trucking is To get freight from point A to point B, but that's not the whole thing The whole thing is get it from point A to point B without Damaging it okay. It's very easy to damage freight very easy less easy to fix it I don't know that way. It's an easy just like that I'm a professional almost to the yard. I'm gonna leave it tied down and I'm gonna deliver it to Winkler in Southern Manitoba on Monday got this intersection coming up now too Watch my flags there buddy. You see that pay attention Okay, this corner is always kind of Cuz I got to take that lane too But if I take that lane and someone turns in trying to use that lane It really puts everybody in a pickle So I try to like wait the boat back here. You can go. I'll wait for you. Don't worry Pedestrians got the right away. Okay. Oh now they got all these kids crossing the street here yet Okay Don't want to hit the kids. That's another goal of the day you always wake up in the day and you list your goals and One of the goals is always don't run anyone over. Okay. That's near the top Oh, this guy's turn in here turn to signal on last second or at least I saw it last second Okay, I'm gonna go for it. I'm gonna go for it. Oh, no, and he's coming this way exactly. Oh Man, okay. Well now there's someone there chaos Okay, this is exactly what I was talking about do the best we can Streets are narrow We got it. There we go. No problem Didn't even hit the curb Didn't even run anyone over Didn't even hit anything that's success in my books Take her nice and easy through the school zone here. I try to avoid school zones the best I can Especially when I guess it's lunchtime or something all the kids are out walking around everywhere Kids when they're out having fun. We were all kids once right when we're out having fun They're not always paying attention They're just running around run across the street don't even look and I'm coming through here with a slightly wide load Are you gonna pay attention to my flags? Okay? Want to make sure I don't hit the snow banks with the side of the load either there we go We're through the school zone and we got to meet another truck. Oh great. Oh great Is he gonna wait? He's not gonna wait. Okay, you're just gonna make this difficult. Okay, okay? He's gonna stop there. I'm sure I don't hit the curb there See two professionals We got it See I appreciate that when the drivers look far enough ahead to wait like that that made that whole situation a lot easier So thumbs up to that driver whoever that was you did a great job That was the worst of it now the rest of the way isn't that bad, you know almost stressful Stressful jobs like that. That's when I love my job the most, you know might sound weird But I love the feeling of accomplishment you get when you get through a sticky situation Successfully I can go home feeling good. I still got a little ways to go yet. Let's not get ahead of ourselves At least we got through that the worst of it I'm gonna pull in and fuel this truck up for the weekend. I'm already at half half a tank. Excuse me And I can see one of my straps up front here is already a little looser than I wanted it to be the freight settled a little bit So I'm gonna pull in here grab some fuel and tighten my straps not too much though You don't want to damage the freight remember what I was talking about they do need a little bit I mean they do need to do their job. You can't just throw them over and leave them there They still got to do the job Okay, this is the one where that one pump is broken. Let's not pick the broken pump again Okay, done that like five times already It's one which one Okay, yeah, they fixed it yet. I wonder if they have I'm gonna take this one No, I can see it from here already. They still haven't fixed that pump Let the government know that I am Going to be fueling my truck now. Is that okay? It's okay. Mr. Government man Yes, it's okay. They said it's okay. I've got the hours. Good. Okay. I'll talk to you guys when I'm done here I have an intense day City driving, right? I don't always have to go into the city. Winnipeg is not that big of a city either But it's not that small at the same time. It's like a A little Kind of big it's kind of big kind of small. It's like a small town big city Classify it as yeah, it's got some tight streets and it's got It's not Chicago is what I'm trying to say okay, it's not Chicago Though it is called windy city of the north it is compared to Chicago because of the the high winds We have here just like in Chicago. So I am taking possession of the shop This weekend probably not tonight. Maybe tomorrow evening I'll be able to give you guys a little tour of it. I mean, it's not much to show you It's just a big open space Turning it into what we want it to be I'm not too sure what that is yet, but I'm excited to grow. It's gonna be a warm place to keep the truck So at least we don't have to worry about freezing up every morning now again, right? So there's that Build a little studio in there expand our YouTube business here a little bit. I Don't know all in all. I'm excited. It's gonna be a good thing The best thing is I'm gonna have a nice warm dry place to clean and polish the truck and detail it inside and out All year round so I can finally drive a clean truck It's gonna be a lot of work, especially in these seasons where Salt and debris are on the road all the time, but at least I'll have a spot to get it done now And in the mornings, I don't have to fight with frozen airlines. That's that's what I'm looking forward to the most Think about calling it the bullsnot shop Maybe I'll come up with something else. I don't know I was just thinking bullsnot because I work with bullsnot and their cleaning products, right and I Always tell everybody they sell themselves All I got to do is get you a can of bullsnot into your hands and you're sold You won't ever use another cleaning product again I don't talk about stuff unless they actually work Unless I actually use them and they've released in Canada now, which is exciting So they're available up here now. They're getting the distribution going. I'm gonna help with that the best I can So I'm excited to see more of their products on our shelves up here in Canada as well you can get them all across the US already, but That shop is going to smell like bullsnot Which is actually smells really good if you guys have used their products before they actually smell really good They don't have that chemically smell or that chemical smell that a lot of cleaners have it actually smells really good and That's what the shop is going to smell like because that truck is going to be shining same with this pickup It's going to be shining year-round That's the plan anyways. I mean I know I can't keep it perfect every single day, but I'm going to try Oh, and I got sent to the superstore again. Oh boy Let's see what we come out with I have specific instructions to come back home with chicken likes Garlic toast salad Caesar salad see what we find And that is the biggest problem we face isn't it? We need to eat every day at least I do I like eating every day. It's one of my favorite things to do I do at first thing every morning and you know in the evening after work and Usually all the way through work too. I got my little munchies I got my lunch that I get that I that gets brought along with me And then like some fruits and stuff that I like eating But the thing about eating is you got to go to the store to get it and the store costs money So how are things where you guys are at right now is uh the price of food Stable has been going up. I know uh a lot of people are panicking because everyone keeps saying Oh the prices of everything are going up Uh Has it really gone up where you're at like really has it honestly really gone up considerably? How much has it? I haven't really noticed because I haven't been paying attention I have definitely noticed the price of fuel going up obviously But uh for food I haven't been paying that much attention to it and I'd like to know have you guys noticed Is everything going up like they say it is or is that just fear mongering and people just trying to get everybody all Worked up because you got to be careful Fear sells Fear sells and people are going to try to sell you fear Because that'll get you to click on their their news article or their ad It'll get you panicking to buy more stuff So you got to remember fear sells and you got to sort of pick apart What is just a little bit of fear mongering and what's actual truth? Now I wouldn't be surprised if prices keep going up after the last two years that we've had I expect it. I expect everything to go up and But uh, let me know where you're at. How's food doing where you're at and what part of the world are you in? is uh You guys doing all right still so far we haven't had any shortages on our shelves the walmart and steinback's always got shortages and people are Always panicking but that's nothing to panic about because those shelves are always empty for some reason steinback walmart is like The last stop on the distribution list for like walmart headquarters or something So they're always short on everything you got to get there early or they're short and then they don't get their delivery Totally a week later or something but That's just because of the logistics and maybe they're looking for drivers too. We're all looking for drivers and i'm gonna plug us one more time here If you want to work with us, uh, my email address is trucker droshkeystonewestern.com. That's a business address Let's just try to keep it Serious inquiries there if possible. I would appreciate that Uh less for me to sift through there. I just want to make sure that uh, you know, you're eligible And if you're eligible, i'm gonna Fire you straight through to who you need to talk to so that we can get you in a truck fast We could use your help. We're busy. We're busy and we got trucks that need drivers And on that note, I will see you tomorrow. Take care. Have a great weekend everybody Tomorrow i'll show you the shop that we're moving into
