 Good morning everyone, Oak Bluff Manitoba, west of Winnipeg. How you doing today? We're gonna go do some trucking. Yesterday in Bemidji, Minnesota. Today I have to deliver it here in Winnipeg. Once this is delivered, like I was telling you yesterday, I have to come back here to Oak Bluff, which is it's all on the west side of Winnipeg that I'm working in this morning. Load up a load here and take it back to our yard. Today is a Friday when I'm filming this and that load needs to be delivered on Monday. So I'm gonna pick up the load today and I'm gonna leave with it on Sunday and get to the customer so that I can be their first thing Monday morning so that I'm ready for a reload shortly after that on Monday so that we can go go go go go and make up for this truck being down a couple of days this week. Earlier this week we had an engine light that came on. It turned out to be the cam crankshaft speed sensor. Replaced it and so far knock on wood. So far problems been solved. So the weekend before that the truck was getting serviced so it was out of commission for a day of the week as well. It needs to get serviced but that was two weekends in a row or two weeks in a row where I lost some revenue so we're trying to make up for that this week and in the following months I guess. Oh I had yesterday. My truck was also dead in the morning and I couldn't start it. My engine was warm because my engine heater was working but I didn't have enough juice to crank it over and so I called called brothers towing from Minnesota. They came out and charged me $177 US dollars to just to attach their booster cables to my my battery posts under the hood and start my truck up in less than 30 seconds. I turned out to be $246 Canadian dollars. It's the next day already and I'm still like $177 US dollars. Wow. I guess I should have been a tow truck driver. Today's gonna be a better day. Let's get at it. Let's go get our work done. Let's go home to family. Two can become a channel member going down below my video. Clicking the join button for about the price of a coffee a month.

I just got a baby one. I was reading up about caffeine last night and how caffeine doesn't actually give you energy. It just inhibits your brain from feeling drowsy but you don't actually get any new energy. So I'm trying something. I also don't have time to drink a full large one by the time I get to the customer. There's that also. Okay. Let me check your work here. I've got to double check your work. Okay. So up Canada way. That's wrong. Yep. That's good. Whoops. Whoops. Oops. Wrong one. Okay. Now I'm ready. Nothing has frozen. It's a cold one out here. It's 28 overnight Celsius. Look at this guy parked right in the driveway. He's been there over an hour since I got up. Just hanging out. No one needs to get in here. This place gets a little bit crazy because they have a Tim's here. Tim Orton's for some reason does something to Canadian. Like draws moss to the flame. It's you put a Tim's in your location. You just got chaos. People everywhere. They don't care how they park. It's like they panic. They have to get inside as fast as possible. It doesn't matter where or how they park. There's Tim's. So this morning shouldn't excuse me. It shouldn't take us too long. I mean this lumber will be super quick to deliver as long as they're ready for me, which they said they are. The one thing I could delay us is my reload. I'm not too sure what I'm loading. On the message that I have, it says skidded farm equipment. So if it's on skids, that should make it go pretty quick, right? Just throw the skids on the truck. Tie them down. I'm going to grab the warm pair and I always got a warm pair of gloves I can switch up. I switch them like every five minutes pretty much. Also, I'm not getting in his way. These straps are a little bit frozen, a little bit covered nice. What I'm going to do is do this in the cab. That's what bullsnot is for. You can clean it off later. I put all my straps on the floor there and turn the heat on and warm them up, thaw them out so that when I get to my next customer in like half an hour, I'll have good straps that aren't frozen. It's been 20 minutes since the time I parked here, to the time I am done all my work, taking my straps off, rolling them up. Now I'm just waiting for him to get his product off the trailer. I know in Europe and some other places I've seen before that it's the trucker's responsibility to unload the trailer. Now, for the overwhelming most part of trucking here in North America, you do not unload your own trailer. You don't load your trailer. You don't unload your trailer. You don't touch the freight other than to secure it. That's their responsibility at the shippers and receivers. That's how things work here. I like it that way because there's, I can imagine there would be a whole lot more liability if I were to jump into a piece of machinery like a forklift because then I'd have to be forklift certified and sorry to disappoint all you, you know, roaring fans of the, I am not forklift certified certified and then I have to jump in their equipment because I don't carry a forklift with and I damage it while I'm unloading it. Guess who's paying for it? Guess who's at fault? My responsibility here is they put the freight on the trailer. I tell them how it needs to, like I helped them put it on there for the most part. They always know where to put it, how to put it, how to load it. But the final say of how the load is loaded is me because that's my load. I'm the one that has to secure it. So once I'm happy with the way they loaded it, then I secure it. That's my responsibility. As soon as it's on the trailer, it's on my property. It's my responsibility. So once I leave their yard, get on the roads, then that load is completely, whatever happens to that load is on me. Until I get to the receiver like this, I get all my equipment off. Now I go back in my truck. Sometimes I stay out there and help them if they want me to help. But now it's their responsibility. If anything happens to their freight while they're unloading it, that's not on me. So it covers my butt that way. I watched YouTubers from like Europe, sometimes Australia and other places around the world, English speaking places, so I can understand what they're saying because I like to learn how trucking works there too, right? Yeah, a lot of places in Europe you unload your own truck. I find that to be strange. Well, double checked where my reload was. It's not in O'Block where we slept. It's on the north side of Winnipeg. Ah, why did I double check that? It's only, what, 10 miles away, not even? My appointment's for 10 a.m. and it's 9.25 right now. I'm going to go there now. I'll be a little bit early. I think that's okay. I'm not that far away. I'm not even going to take my jacket off. Turn right at man, turn right at 120 meters. Scatch one Monday morning, I'm grabbing a reload from the same location that I'm delivering to. Ah, man, bad timing, I got a red bag. Why is there two trucks? Why is there a truck in the left lane here? They're blocking traffic for everybody. Oh, that bugs me. You gotta stop light, get in the right lane. Look at this, now all traffic is stuck behind those two. Load into, uh, length banks of scatch one and then picking up my load at the same location, which is awesome because there's zero empty miles then. That doesn't always happen that way, so we get lucky every now and then. Turn right on, field way again, slide left in 15 meters. Very tight yard. They wanted me to nose in here so they can load me a little bit yet for them, but this we'll see. Another guy who got pulled or who just pulled in here, guess he's gonna get unloaded there. I'm gonna back up a little bit more. I just need to leave room for cars to be able to get through back here. I can bring my trailer back, but another 10 feet or so at least. And then they have all the space here to load me up. Though I think that guy's gonna have to move unless they're gonna unload him first. They might unload him first even though I was here before him. Looks like he's a local guy and those guys usually get priority at places. They're always in a rush. They forget. I too am in a rush. But not really. I mean after this I just go home. Like you never say you're not in a rush because if you tell people you're not in a rush, they don't rush. I'm always in a rush, always. Some days I'm in more of a rush than other days, but I'm always in a rush. My straps that I used before are all nicely warming up underneath here. I'm not too sure what they're even loading on me. I have no idea. It's going to like a farm equipment place and it says steel skidded freight or steel on skids. He said I had five or six skids. He didn't know for sure. Five or six skids and some of them are bigger than the regular one. So I'll just hurry up and wait. You guys ready for this? Full load. I was told this is gonna be a full load. They needed a 53 foot trailer and that is gonna be 40,000 pounds. You ready for what I got? Are you sure? Are you sure you're not missing anything? Where's the rest of it? Right? Well I said that's it. Okay, I'll try it down. Get out of here before you change your mind. How much weight do we have? 5,500 pounds. 34,500 less than I thought I'd be pulling. I think I'm not paid by weight. You did good this week, Blue. It's a bit of a short week. So you're right in here. That's sensor right in there. You can get it to focus on that. You see that black wire going down there? That's the sensor that got replaced. Ah, you can maybe see it. See it comes up here? Come on, camera work with me. Here. The wire from down there, down to there. There's a crankshaft speed sensor. The crankcase speed sensor. It's hard to see. It's kind of buried in back there. I thought we could see it best from here. One sec, let me get a flashlight. Good old house flashlight. Okay. Ah, you see? Right there. Can I zoom in anymore? Come on. Right there. You see that black cord that goes in there? That's the sensor that got replaced. That caused all my problems. So now that that's taken care of, we can focus on making some revenue. But first we got to go home. It's the weekend. That was the first engine issue that I've had with this truck since I bought it. And the sensor was so old and brittle on the work order. So it's so old and brittle when they tried to take it out of there, it just broke off and they had to actually dig it out of there and get the whole sensor out of the engine block and then put the new one in. So very thank you for that. Shout out to the guys at PBX. Always doing good work for me. Always. I think I've got everything out of the truck now. Got my bodega cooler out here which has been cleaning it out. This thing has been a lifesaver, honestly. Amazing. It's like a cooler that you take with you anywhere. You can plug it into your truck or it comes with a outlet for your wall and your house too. It can be a fridge and a freezer. I use both sides as a fridge, but that's been a lifesaver. Been able to take food along with me. I also got my clock back up in here now. Since I moved shops, I haven't put anything up on the wall. So I have started now. Got my clock there. Got my new calendar right here. Got my house banner there. Got one bullsnot poster up here already. So slowly, slowly coming together bit by bit. I may not get things cleaned up and organized quickly, but I do get things cleaned up and organized eventually. Drives me nuts. This is still very messy in here, but it is getting better. I just don't spend a lot of time here because usually I'm just dropping off all blue, getting all my stuff out of it and not really messing around with any of this. I usually just park the truck in here and head on home because why would I want to spend all my time in the shop here when I can be at home, right? So I do a little bit here. I just got the truck in here now. I do a little bit now. Next time I come and get the truck to leave, do a little bit more then. Every time I come in here, slowly bit by bit, we'll get this shop up and running properly. And I might put up a second level up here yet for extra storage up there. And then I want to frame in a bathroom over there yet. It's already plumbed in. I don't know if I've shown you before yet or not, but oh, you can't even really see it back here. I'd have to move all this stuff, obviously. You see a little blue cap there? See it is plumbed in. You got water in here. You got an outlet up there for a hot water tank. I'm guessing that's for on the second level, the hot water tank up there. I put a shower in here that if I wanted to. I don't know if I'd ever use it, but we'll see what happens little bit by little bit.
