 Completely above the horizon today already how the truck is doing how she slept excuse me the mistress Wake her up Get her ready for the day. She's over here in the back I didn't park in the mud over there because it's supposed to get a little bit warm today But I think my spots gonna get a little muddy anyways. I parked over here on the left Right there the far one. I want to park in this mud Here we are It's all hard right now four-wheel drive Just about Good thing we got a Chevy Ford and Dodge are good trucks too, alright, and I don't know anything about Nissan trucks or Toyota trucks So I'm sure they're good trucks too and since they're like Toyota and Nissan. I'm sure they hold their value, right? So there's something good we can say about the competition there I don't know anything about them. All I know are Chevy Ford and Dodge. Those are The only trucks that sort of exist within my brain, but I know there are others out there Anyways speaking of trucks Here's the mistress. You know what I'd love to do. I'd love to have a little decal one day or Sorry decal from my American friends Decal For like on the hood there Once it gets all shined up right now look a nice little Probably won't let me do that though. That's okay But hey, there's a saying there's an old saying that goes you have not because you ask not What's the harm in asking? What's the worst I could say? No? They'll probably say no Wouldn't that be cool though? Oh Maybe they'll say yeah, I don't know Let's go get her stirred up look at that mud down there that wasn't for me It was pretty cold yesterday when I parked it here, and it was all hard already, but All right, I'm gonna go check the oil do all that fun stuff Get her started. It's Friday. It's been a long week, but it went by quickly It's been a long week, but it went by quickly does that make sense? It goes by quick when you enjoy what you're doing when deck that you can load it from the side like a flat bed But instead of actually like a tarp over your freight after that spending an hour tarping and strapping very convenient I wish we had these when I was these would have been great for that I would have said this was a nice warm sunny day Today my body's already gotten used to the warmer weather Harburg here You know what I actually came back and I parked at the Petro Pass because I noticed something My truck is not building air that little annoying bell is sounding you hear that That's not good. So I pulled in here before my truck ran out of air on the road Thank God, I came to check under the hood here a little bit loud because the engine's running, but Take a look at what I found hose The hose popped off the air compressor luckily it's a threaded design that is thinking whoever designed that So hopefully here I'm gonna put you here for now. Okay, I can set you down. Okay there Hopefully I'll be able to just thread this thread this on here tighten it up We'll be off to the races. I'll report it to the shop so that when I get back they can double-check it, but Why would that have come off? must have just Rattled off over time or maybe when it was in the shop. They forgot to tighten it properly. I don't know why would they have taken that off though, right? I'm sure it's just Came off on its own so I'm threading it on right now And tighten it as tight as I can I'm gonna get my tools out and Tighten it up there a little bit more so You can see Now it is connected on there and it should build there I'm just going to what I put a little tool Put it inside already. I don't have a whole set of Wrenches with me, but I do have oh Getting all wet You have to dry those off now It's the best I can do tighten it up as tight as I can and then Let the shop know if they got to take a look at that when I get back See if this works and get me rolling All right Start her up. See if this will do it Looks like she's filling up those red lights should go off right away the dinging should stop If the dinging stops that means it worked and I fixed it Okay, it's gonna fill the secondary tank first and then it'll fill the first tank But it's gonna keep dinging until that first tank Is all the way full I say what you're doing picking favorites. It's not very nice It's not very nice. Okay, there we go. Now the first one's going up And wait for it wait for it There we go Trucker Josh saves the day fixes his own trucks Who needs mechanics fix my own truck I'm just kidding. Just kidding. Don't get mad at me mechanics. I still need you useful and good at things right now Let's go get our freight. I have to send a service truck all the way up here at Arbor and spend five hundred bucks just for them to come here and screw a little Pipe onto our little hose onto the air compressor. You imagine if I would have called that in they would have had to spend at least probably 200 300 bucks just for the service guy to come here And then he would have gotten here and he would have looked at it and been like Done Taking another 150 bucks for his time And we would have been out like 400 500 bucks to try fixing the truck if it's something big bring it to the mechanics But if it's just a screw Oh, come on I can do that. Okay. I may not be a mechanic But I can I can work a screw. Okay Now I'm gonna dry my tool off the fell in the snow and I want you to get all rusty It's one of my multi tools I got Christmas ones It's gonna get rusty if I don't take care of it Okay, so I wasn't able to film any of the loading process So I'm gonna show you how these curtain sides work another day. Okay guys Uh, I'll I'll tell you right now though. They unhook from the front here or the back and you can roll them from side to side For this load here. I loaded on the front. So I unhooked first of all release the tension at the back Then I unhooked the front and I rolled the whole thing Back to the back of the trailer. So this was just an open deck here And then they loaded this stuff from the sides and when they were done Tied it down like this isn't gonna hold the freight and you still have to tie it down Okay, it just covers it. It doesn't secure it So it secured everything and then I rolled it back over tightened it up and at the back I can tighten it up So it's nice and tight It's really hard just to explain it. I know but you know There's gonna be plenty of days in the future and I can show you how these things work at a place where Uh, it's more appropriate A place in time works more appropriate, but this is our trailer right now. What's in here? I'm gonna take this back to the yard I better get moving. It's not gonna it's not gonna bring itself there And what's cool is this door here Hey, it's just a door in the front of the trailer. It's like a front door to the trailer, right? The sweet sounds of these pipes worked with a guy from arberg Long time ago north so usually here in arberg. I'm guessing uh Here for a reason Wait everybody wait the big semi People ignore the rules of whoever stops first gets to go first and they just quickly just keep going in front of you Because they don't want to wait for you But harbour is a nice town. They wouldn't do that here. That's more of like a wooden peg big city thing Everyone's in a rush in the big city He's a little picking me up End of the week getting a little tired So that's what the unit looks like Place to put this thing. Oh, there's a hole right there Putty parks their trailers like nice and straight, which you know apparently nobody does Uh, it wastes a lot of space and instead of being able to fit, you know, maybe a hundred trailers in here You know, they fit eight Work straight especially when it's on gravel like this, right? It's there's no lines So which one straight are these one straight or are those ones straight? Which one do I line up to? All right, let's put it let's back it in there. I'm in this trailer again Cleaning up after the last person who had it So another friendly reminder that when you drop an empty Make sure you clean it up for the next guy It's what you're supposed to do when you drop an empty trailer I don't call people out But I like to give out friendly reminders because now I'm spending about a half hour of my day here Cleaning up someone's mess and I'm already supposed to be down the road with this trailer And I can't leave because someone dropped it here and took off So just a friendly reminder please Clean up your trailer Okay, so trailers all cleaned out now. I can go if I can get out of here Now I got out of that tighter spot over there with that flatbed yesterday. What was it the day before? I was yesterday, wasn't it? We got out of there. So I think we can get out of here It's been super difficult to get in here today. Everybody's driving in the left lane while everybody's passing, right? Are you going to stay in that lane? Okay, so I'm going to take the left lane here There is nice which means everybody's going out to their cottages You know getting it ready for the summer De-winter rising it. Is that a term get out of the city getting to their cabins? Plans have changed. I'm not dropping this trailer anymore But on the other side of the city, so I'm already rolling down to lashing this trailer bring it back And then they asked me if I'd like a little bit of overtime today And I said of course this will take a couple of hours That means we'll probably be clocking out the appointment tomorrow morning after the appointment After we get everything done after we pick up brit's terrain For our train. I guess what we'll do is we'll meet at work. I'll leave my pick up there then brit will go home I'll go to work for the afternoon from about noon to 4 30 And then I'll go home and then I'll have sunday off I can still relax at least I can catch up on my sleep on sunday then and Monday we're back at it I told you I love trucking. It's an addiction Ask me if I want to go trucking very slim chance. I'm gonna say no Unless there's a good reason Summertime's coming though and I got a lot of work to do on our land So I mean I would consider that a good reason in the summer We'll see we'll see it depends how much overtime we're talking I kind of like this thing. They call money. It has it has done good things for me I would like some more please And you're telling me I can do what I love to do most drive trucks and I get these little paper rectangles Sign me up I'm not being sarcastic either. I'm joking around but I I'll gladly take the overtime. I I really do love my job Just coming to take a look real quick Looking good looking good This is all going to orlando florida In a few days This will be in the land of palm trees and freedom Wonder if there's a Spot for me to hide in there somewhere Can't do that. Nope can't do that Have a good trip Enjoy the weather yard and we just got to run out and grab that other trailer Bring that back to the yard We'll cash in that overtime on payday. You know, I've noticed that uh as I'm getting older I've got to be more and more careful how I get in and out of the trailer If I get out of the trailer just a little bit wrong Suddenly my back goes hey Wow What are you trying to do here? I went just partially down Heat blowing on me because it's not quite warm enough to actually have your windows down yet But I want my windows down Let's gather This freight needs to go to florida. I'm not getting in its way Everyone deserves to go to florida. It's got to go back in. Oh, I'll be working till like seven o'clock tonight probably The good thing I love most turn into the leftmost lane, right? And then the right lane turns into the center lane here But because I've got a trailer on I've got to swing it wide which makes it look like I'm going into the far right lane But my trailer is coming into this lane. So sometimes people cut in they're not realizing I'm coming back To the middle lane. But either way it doesn't matter. I mean if that happens, it's not a big deal Then I just I go to plan b and I go to the far right lane, but still It's not very nice It's my lane That's a good day's work. Good afternoon What's this guy doing? Looking for a trailer, aren't you? They told me they were busy I believed him, but man They're busier than I thought
