 It gave me a scare this morning. When I was almost home yesterday, after work, I realized, oh shoot, I forgot you guys in the truck. Oh, no. Well, good thing it's safe, right? I'll get it in the morning. Yeah, you guys can sleep in the truck overnight. No big deal, right? So I'm like, oh, whatever. So I get back to the truck this morning. And I notice I have a new mudflap. Like, oh, that's nice. The other one was tearing along here, right? Well, that's nice of them to go ahead and do that for me. I appreciate that. Like, oh, they probably found my camera in there. Oh, they wouldn't have touched it. So I get into the truck thinking to myself, geez, the one time I leave my like $500 camera in the truck is the day it goes into the shop, right? And I trust everybody here. But still, I don't like to leave valuables in the truck. So I get into the big semi-truck here and I can't find you guys. And my heart was just sinking. I'm like, no way, there's no way. There's no way they would have taken my camera. They'd get caught way too easily, first of all, and secondly, no one in there would do that, right? So I'm just thinking to myself, well, what happened? For a half hour, I dug everything out of that truck, looking for my camera. Thinking that I left you in there. What happened? Maybe they took it out and left it in the shop office to keep it safe. Maybe they're just, you know, doing me a favor because, you know, you don't want to leave a $500 camera out in the truck, right? Maybe that's what happened. I dug everything out of there. So I figured before I go to the shop and start asking questions and throwing around possibilities and maybe it disappeared while it was in there, before I do that, I better make sure, make double sure that you guys aren't hiding underneath something or like somewhere else, maybe in my bag or something. So I dug everything out of my truck, my pickup truck, everything. I dug everything out of my lunch kit, all my bags that I usually carry you guys in. The last thing I had was my backpack. I dug everything out of there. I got all my tools in there, I got all kinds of stuff, different things for the camera and stuff. I was like, well, I know I didn't put it in here because I checked it last night because I was looking for you guys. I was worried about you. So I was looking for you. Like it's not in here, but I better make double sure before I go to the shop and ask, right? You don't want to put things like that out there unnecessarily because I don't think that would ever happen here. But anyway, through the last pocket, I was onto the last pocket of my bag and I was just like getting, taking a deep breath, I don't want to go and ask. I don't want to go and bring this up and ask them, hey, do you know who brought my truck into the shop yesterday? I have a $500 camera that's missing. I didn't want to go and do that. I like the guys there and that would be a terrible thing to have to ask. So I was getting to the bottom of the last pocket and I know I checked it yesterday already and it's not in here, it's not in here. I take everything out and there. Sitting at the very, very bottom of this weird pocket that I never even really open on my backpack, there you were, sleeping soundly as if nothing were wrong, as if you were never lost. You were with me the whole time. You never left me. You were in my backpack at home safe and sound with me all night and I didn't even know it. So thank God that I found you guys before I went and asked any uncomfortable, awkward questions because, like I said, that would never happen here. And this goes to show I was right, never happened. So I found you, I found you. Thanks for hanging on. Feel better now we can start our day. Mosquitoes, the one mosquito I've found this year. This year hasn't had that many mosquitoes, but of course the one out here is going to find me. So yes, my heart was pounding a little bit this morning because I know that if I would have left you in the truck and I would have lost you, it would have been because I was irresponsible and didn't take proper care of you. I never want to be that guy, okay, you guys are important to me. Even though I thought I had left you in the truck, my subconscious had already put you safely in my bag and you were at home in my office right beside me. And I didn't even realize it, but I did keep you safe. So thank goodness, these cameras are expensive. I'm filming on a GoPro Hero 8, it's not the newest one. I just got it though, like a month or so ago and it cost me 450 bucks. And you're attached to a, you're attached to a head strap right now, which is way overpriced because it's a GoPro product. So it's like another 50 bucks. So it was like a $500 deal that I was trying to sort out here. 500 bucks and contrary to, like I said the other day, contrary to what Google says I'm worth, 500 bucks is not something I have right now. All right, but good thing I still got you. Okay, so let's get trucking. Just gonna park my truck in our parking spot back there. So you're on a head strap right now, you can probably see it in the mirror there, right? And just that head strap, can you see it around my head? It's like my hands-free filming device. Just that head strap, because it has the name GoPro on it, 50 bucks, at least it might be more than that already. Anything with GoPro name on it is right away, it's very expensive, but they do make superior products. I've tried to buy and use a GoPro knockoff camera before. Don't even bother wasting your money, that is a waste of money, just go with the real deal. It's expensive, I know, but just go with the real deal. Back myself right up against here, not up against here, but you know what I mean, against the fence, there we go, that's my parking spot. Yeah, it's worth it just to go with the real deal. Anyways, let's grab our coffees, Chevrolet GMC. Look at this, the Chevrolet one's been used a little more beat up, she's still good to go. Chevy, like a rock. They gave up that slogan, didn't they? They don't call it like a rock anymore. Now we're doing here, not too close to the fence, are we? Now, get to go. Oops, in all the chaos, I left my driver door open on the semi, oh well. Well, I got a new mudflap, I didn't lose you and I got stuff to do today, it's gonna be a good day, real good day, now I gotta go throw my garbage out today. Put that back there, here's our trailer. So on top of feeling like I lost you guys this morning, I also had a nail in one of my drive tires, so I had to wait here for our tire guy to come and fix it up for me, he just put on a different tire. So now we should be good to go. Oh, and I found our new pair of gloves, so that's fun. So yes, we're gonna go pick up some poles and we're gonna bring them on down to a town called St. Pierre, a little bit south of here. Now I had the truck turned off mostly so you can hear me, but also so that we can hear for air leaks. And I'm gonna spike the trailer here to check the trailer brakes. Now, I heard one of you in my comment section or saw one of you in my comment sections tell me that your trailer brake stays down. It sounded like you were from the UK as well. Our trailer brakes here anyway, all of the ones I've ever had, all the trucks I've ever driven, they're spring loaded. So if you don't tie them down like this, they'll just spring right back up. So you gotta pull it down like that. So we're gonna go and check all the lights real quick. Come around, roll up the landing gear. I don't like to do that last because I don't wanna forget doing that. Check to make sure these tires are good, filled with high quality compressed air. This lights on, that lights off, that's good. All right, now on the back here, we got our signals working and we got our brake lights working. And also these marker lights that are back here for some reason. Oops, oopsie, what did I do? Why did I push that in? How do I get back to it? Oh no, oh, it'll stay there. Okay, we'll just leave that there like that. It's fine, good to go. These things are chained down, tight, binders are locked. Signal under here, working. Remember, we're gonna do the landing gear yet. Brake lights, it was tire on the other side of my truck that had a nail in it. The night staff that fixed my mudflap, they also noticed that there was a nail in one of my tires. So they left a little tag for me, a little note. It was this tire here. This tire's a little bit newer than the rest of them. The other one had a nail stuck through it. Wasn't hissing air, it wasn't leaking like crazy, but still don't wanna run down the road with a nail in your tire if you don't have to. Okay, so I'm gonna roll up this landing gear and get moving. See that, that's what I was talking about. Trailer brake automatically fires back up and releases. I don't know how it is where you're at. I'd like to know down below in the comments section if it's different on the trucks where you're at. If it is, let me know where you're at and what kind of truck it is. All of these campaign signs all over the place. We have a federal election in Canada coming up real soon, which is funny, cause I heard on the internet that our elections were canceled until the pandemic was deemed over. I guess that was fake news. We've got an election coming up and it's sort of a referendum I guess on how the government has been dealing with the pandemic and everything related to it. So don't forget if you're a Canadian to get out there and vote for your preferred candidate in your riding. It is important. We all have a voice and we all get a say in if we think the government's been doing a good job or not. So I'm on my way to pick up these polls. It'll be on September 20th, which is coming up really quick. So I do encourage all of you. I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for. That is your decision. I'm just gonna encourage you the best I can and get out there and vote. Just take the time. It's important. If you're over 18, 18 or older, just put your two cents in and let's see what happens. Let's see what happens. Do you like the way things are going or do you think it could be done a little differently and better? That's what this is all about. It's gonna be a good day though. It's gonna be a really good day. We got a new tire on us. We found you guys. I thought I lost you. The sun is shining. We're trucking. The only thing that could be better about today is if Weasel was with us. I didn't take him again today, unfortunately, I'm sorry. Maybe tomorrow. I wasn't too sure what my day was gonna look like today. Unfortunately, that truck is in the shop right now. Extra something. I don't know. So we have one other picker truck like that. Drives it. His name's Anthony. So he's in that truck today. He already picked up one load of polls and he's out delivering them in Mitchell, Manitoba. These polls in St. Pierre, like I told you, and we're gonna meet up there. I'm gonna bring the polls there and he's gonna unload them with his claw truck. It's a little different than the one that I drive. I was trained on 3106. I forget what unit number his is, but his operates completely differently so I haven't been trained on that one. So he's gonna unload the polls today. Too bad. Would've been fun to use the claw again. But things break. Who knows what happened to it? But it's getting fixed. So for now, we're down a picker truck. So all I can do is bring these polls there. I can't unload them myself. I mean, I am strong, but I don't wanna strain myself too much. You know, don't wanna show off too much. So we'll use the claw truck and unload the polls. We have two trucks like that, if you haven't gathered that yet. Two trucks, 3106, and then there's Anthony's truck, which is, it's a white Kenworth. It's actually a really nice truck. Has a 20,000 pound front axle as well. It's a tough-looking, mean-looking truck. It's nice. We'll get her done. See, you roll up the extra strap here, look at this. You roll up the extra strap like I just did, and you go behind here, and you pinch it in in there so that when you tighten this up, that's pinned in there and then all that extra strap isn't flapping around. That'd be no good. You don't wanna cut all the straps all the time. And some guys, they just cut the straps so that's short enough, right? These are expensive straps. And once you cut the strap for this length, it's no good for any other length. So I never cut the straps. I just leave them at their, I believe they're a 35-foot length. I'm just 25, I'm just 35, that's what we usually get. I'll leave them at that length and I just wrap them up like that because next time, tomorrow, I'm probably gonna have a load that's gonna need a longer strap. That way I still have it. But if I cut it, the strap's pretty much useless for anything else. And it's an expensive, expensive thing. You don't wanna waste it. Off on the road we go with our sticks. Very nice sticks. Someone's gonna put them in the ground and use them for something. So that they don't take up the whole road like that, but sometimes they get a little lazy. Another wasp bites the duck. Oh, the war is still raging between me and the wasps here. So far, there are more casualties on their side than my side. I'm still good to go. They only stung me once. I'm still standing. Straight, I gotta turn the lights on. Brake lights are working. If you guys hear any air leaks, it's a bad question to ask right now because my suspension is adjusting here. That's not an air leak. You'll have to trust me. Let's talk, let's get the lights going here. Release the trailer brakes. Okay. Now we have all the lights on. As you can tell, I'm hooked up to a big box. The hand trailer, we're taking this into Winnipeg. Lights are working. We gotta pick something up. Now what's that hissing noise back here? Hey, suspension's just adjusting. Okay, we'll make double sure of that before we leave. Okay, so I took the brake lights off. I like these taillights because they have the ring around here like that. Makes me feel fancy. Pretty cool. All right, yeah, those are working up there too. I don't know if you can see it on the video or not, but the signals also flash up there, which is really nice because then people can see your signals over traffic. This should be empty. Hello. It's empty. I've got two pickups in Winnipeg. Oh, those feel good. Oh, those feel good too. Nice tires, very nice. Lights working. These things are all strapped in and tight. Okay, no more nails that I've picked up. That's good. All the rust is in place as it should be. That's good. My new tire here is doing very well. No more nails so far. All right. Part two of the day. It's off to van division. I'm just getting passed around these days. Look at that, the street lights are turning purple here too. There's a whole bunch of people out there trying to convince people that it's some kind of government conspiracy thing. That they're like black lights that can tell if you're vaccinated or not or something like that. What actually happened is that there's a manufacturer in the US, in Ohio or something, that created a whole bunch of them, like thousands and thousands of these LED lights that are sold all across North America. And a whole ton of them have a defect. And after they get a little bit older, they start to emit purple lights. There's a whole explanation behind it. And these purple LED street lights are showing up all across Canada and the United States. And you got a whole bunch of people out there thinking that it's some kind of crazy government detection system. Nope, just a factory recall. Have you seen any of these purple street lights where you're from? Tell me if you haven't, tell me where you're from. So tomorrow I'm taking the RGN trailer. It's a removable Gooseneck. Got to take it up to Pointe d'bois, about two hours from here, sort of northeast, out in the lakes. Got to go out there and pick up some freight with it. That low bed trailer. But to do that, I got to make sure I have all the right equipment with me. So I've been filling up my headache rack, making sure that I have the proper chains and binders. I need two more chains on here yet. Those we get from this lovely rack. Whole bunch of chains. I'm gonna grab two more of these. Put them on there. Some are shorter, some are longer. Got one shorter one there and one longer one. And a variety up there as well. Depends on what kind of freight I'm pulling. This is an oversized hook. It's too big for my headache rack hanger. I'll show you the difference. Find a regular one. You can see the difference there. Oversize, regular. This doesn't fit in there, this will. Me needing to fill up that headache rack again for a while. Remember when I loaded up that gravel trailer on the step deck? The snow was still on the ground, wasn't it? Maybe it was spring already. I think it was like April or something like that. I think the vlog was called trailer on a trailer. Anyway, I left those chains that I had on that load and the highway driver took it out, right? I never got the chains back. And I know you watched the videos, but that's okay. You probably did bring them back and they probably just made it onto this chain rack over here and nobody told me. So I'll let you off the hook. That's why we usually take our equipment off the trailers and then each driver uses their own equipment. Because you don't see it again otherwise. Even if they honestly did try to bring it back, sometimes it just doesn't make it back to me. So now I got it all filled up again. And we're ready for the races. Up to point to Boat tomorrow with the low bed RGN. First time actually pulling it out of here. I got trained on it a while ago, right? And same day I got trained on the hook, the claw truck. It's my first day pulling that out. Let's hope I don't mess it up. You're gonna have to tune into tomorrow's video to find out. There it is. I'm gonna hook up to it today. That was one less thing to do in the morning. All right, so first thing tomorrow morning we're gonna get here. I'll just finish hooking up yet, but when are we pulling this thing? So don't forget to subscribe. Like this video if you did like it. And we'll see you tomorrow on this, eh? That should be fun.
