 Howdy do folks Friday morning when I'm filming this We're gonna drop off this load I have on my trailer have I showed it to you yet. I haven't showed you my load yet I didn't even do that yesterday So you may have seen this clip at the end of yesterday's vlog because I'll have wanted to show you yesterday this Let's go show you this load. I have a load of shingles I have to deliver it into Hamilton, Ontario as soon as I can and then I have to go over to St. Catherine's, Ontario and pick up some steel. It's gonna be 10 foot wide I'm gonna get to use my fancy look at me beacons because I'm gonna have a wide load I'm gonna have a flag and have the signs on it's gonna be a fun trip through northern Ontario all the way to Alberta with that But first we have to deliver these shingles Come with me Look at this guy's got horns on the side of his truck on the side of his hood there That's awesome All right, this is what we're dealing with here 14 pallets I don't need the tri axle for this load, but I will need it for my next load that I'm picking up That one's gonna be 65,000 pounds You know, I should just deliver these shingles right to my house. I could use them Literally I could With my roof leaking the way it is Except we want steel roof steel roofing this time If you steel roofing you completely erase all the possibilities Of ice damming in the future. We had our insurance guy coming to our place yesterday I think I talked about it yesterday a little bit We had the insurance not a juster, but the insurance claim guy Come take a look at all the damage and he's gonna go to our insurance company and Fight for us on our behalf with them so that they Help us out with a new roof because there's nothing we can really do and we have to replace the whole thing If you're new to the channel our home You can go back and watch past logs or you can watch my wife's vlog She talks about it to her link to her channel is down below in the description of this video We have ice damming on our roof and what happens is the the ice melts turns to water underneath the snow Goes to the edge of the roof then it goes down to minus 30 again and it freezes there The next time it melts a little bit from the top it runs down to that ice dam And then it goes down to minus 30 again and it freezes and it expands and pushes up underneath the shingles And once it's pushed up under there far enough on a really warm day when that melts It goes right down through the nail holes into the attic through the attic down to the poly and then it searches for a hole to Get down into the house through a light socket or a heating vent or any hole can find in the ceiling And then it pours down into the house, so we've had water raining down into our house And uh It's gonna be a little bit pricey to fix but we're gonna get it done and hopefully insurance can help us We have to wait and see Other than that though, we are ready to rock and roll. I think I got to go right We're at the pilot flying jay in wyoming ontario Just inside the canadian border from the us we cross from port here on michigan into sarnia ontario And about 10 minutes into canada, there's this truck stop here be careful though for the potholes you might lose a tire I wouldn't want that to happen about two hours to hamilton from here. Hopefully they can unload me quickly Tie it down strap it fly get before I can leave there and that before they can leave there and it's friday So i'm guessing well last week they said the same thing to me They wanted me to rush to get there, but then there was two other trucks that arrived after me yet So i'm kind of getting the idea that it's just in general they want us to rush every week i'm not sure But I do know that they can't go home until i'm done and I totally understand that I Like to go home as early as possible on a friday as well I mean, I don't remember what that's like. I mean, I I don't get to go home early on the weekends I still got to work through the weekend, but I understand so I'm Doing the best I can to get there as early as I can like I said last night already Canada so that I only have to stop for my eight hours instead of my 10 hours So if I would have stopped in michigan instead of pushing to get across the border Remember, I just barely made it across again on my hours I would have had to stop for 10 and I would have been two hours later than I am right now so I mean my conscience is clear. I've done everything I can it's just trucking right everything's a rush Everybody wants you there yesterday Whether you're picking up or delivering It's part of the job when it's a little more relaxed But this next load is going to be more relaxed for me like that because I can't pull it at night Right so I can only drive until the half hour after the sun sets Then I have to park it and I can't start driving in until a half hour before the sun pops above the horizon And if you want to know when the sun sets all you got to do is ask google google's got all the answers They don't always have all the right answers, but in this case they have the answer All you got to do is uh say when is the sun setting where I am? And if you're on your mobile device with your location services on then it knows where you are What I'll do later once I'm stopped is I'm hoping to get to north base still So I'll go on to google say google when is the sun setting in north bay ontario It'll probably say around six o'clock. So that means I'd have to stop by 6 30 And if I get caught driving after that I don't really know what would happen because it's never happened to me But I'm guessing the ontario ministry of transportation would not be very pleased with me They would probably uh, I believe they would take away my permits So that I can't haul over dimension anymore in ontario at least for a while They would find me a lot of money And I'd have to shut down wherever I am Maybe there's more consequences. I don't know. I'm not going to find out You can read on the permits what all the consequences are if you're interested I did read through it through it like don't give me wrong. I just I don't know what the fines would be. It doesn't say what the fines would be in the document All I know is that we're in ontario so the fines would be astronomical That I can guarantee this is ontario Well, there it is some over here The rest over there And nothing on here Trailer is empty and good to go now To pick up the load that We've been working towards this whole time that lumber load down to Illinois and this load To here was only To get me here for the load i'm about to pick up The load with the nice numbers The wide load that's taken me to alberta Let's go get it So all of this fuss running around delivering these loads The only reason We did that was to get to ontario It's better to come here with something on the trailer Than to come here empty All right, we got 53 kilometers about 30 miles Oh, I guess I should Close my cubby door Geez, what's wrong with me? I can't drive down the road with that open What am I rookie? All right, let's get out of here It's kind of a tight yard hold one truck at a time. There's another truck pulling in behind me right now Had no trucks at first. It says avoid engine brake Okay, turn right. Okay. So I want to be in the right lane right always works better when you're already in the right lane Some people don't know this Good thing I paid attention in driver school Like I said about a half hour away Right here turn right from the right lane not the left lane they need to be more clear about that in some driving schools Use the right lane to turn right Unless if you have a long trailer you got a buttonhook it obviously, but I'm mostly talking to the cars who like the lane dive Oh, that's my exit. I don't care that I'm in the left lane I'm driving across all lanes of traffic wouldn't want to miss my exit and have to do a u turn Oh, the geese are back. Hey, look at that This whole pond off to our right here is filled with Canadian geese standing on the ice You're a bit early bud Guess they got tired of mexico I'm gonna have to buy new wipers on the way home. I think This wiper is falling apart at the tip there the rubber's coming off of it Diesel what are you doing over there? What are you doing to your frog, man? What are you doing to you? Roads Oh merge left. They want me to merge left. Okay Scared that van I'm not gonna hit you buddy. Don't worry Just stay in your lane and you don't have to worry about me This is st. Catherine's, Ontario beautiful little city. I have family who lives here actually my dad's brother My aunt and uncle Are from here somewhere. I have no idea what part of st. Catherine's they live in but They are my eastern cousins My eastern aunt and uncle They've lived out here for as long as I can remember And they like it. I mean, it's a beautiful city. I mean, I'd love living here, too A lot of history here He does amazing artwork. That's uh my uncle who uh Did that carving of our last name above our sink at home He does beautiful wood carvings same as uncle Danny Danny and aunt lily I still say taunta taunta lily because uh my German Mennonite Heritage we don't call our ants ants. We call them taunta, which is the same thing as ant and it's just in german Plot niche low german Wouldn't that be cool if we ran into them? Not literally. I don't want to hit them, but I mean If we saw them here I'll have to ask them next time I talk to them. I don't talk to them that often because they they live so far away, right? They weren't nice enough to come all the way out for our wedding That's a two two and a half day drive More a pretty pricey flight. This is really nice to see them there then. That was the last time I saw them though All right, so I had to switch trailers. This is a rental trailer apparently As a funny little thing at the front here At least uh, I'm gonna be extra sure nothing's gonna hit my hit my cab and then we got This apparently I parked very crooked. I'm kind of ashamed myself I'm gonna have to fix this right a ways, but I wanted to quickly show you What we're working with here Pretty much the same load as last time except this time it's on a flat bed and this flat bed It's like shoulder height It's a really high flat bed Or maybe they're all like that and I'm just Making a big deal out of nothing There we go. That's the day everybody. Thanks for watching. It was a busy day for me really busy I had to unload those shingles in hamilton, ontario the delivery went pretty smooth, but I had to wait for two trucks that got there before me Other than waiting a little bit. It wasn't too bad Once I was unloaded there. I rushed over to st. Catherine's uh to switch trailers I thought I was getting live loaded which means I thought they were gonna load the trailer I had behind me already It turns out I just had to drop that trailer and pick up an already loaded trailer a preloaded trailer And it was a rental you saw out there. It's that tri axle flat bed It's a hardcore trailer. I have it behind me right now And I'm filming this a little in the future, but I have it behind me right now It is a massive anchor of a trailer. It is huge. It is heavy It makes me guzzle the fuel Did you see that thing like I know I only showed it for like two seconds when I was standing beside it Maybe I'll show it again in the next couple of days, but that thing is like At my chin That's how high the The deck is or the bed of the trailer is most flat beds are about what five feet high This one is Probably close to six feet high. It is hardcore. It's it's huge. It's high But I tarped the load I flagged it and uh, we made it all the way up to Uh, just north of toronto at the king's on route It's a rest area just north of toronto when you're going up towards berry and that's where we spent the night So, uh, I will talk to you again tomorrow. I can only drive during daylight hours So we're getting up early in the morning and driving till the sun goes down I can't drive my full my full day or my full logbook day Uh, because with load this wide on the two lane highways up north in northern ontario, they don't want me Putting other people in danger. I guess hauling wide loads at night Anyways, I'm tired. I'm going to bed Take care guys. I'll see you tomorrow.
