 Hello, I'm a bus driver from Arctic now. It's midnight. I just finished my job my shift I am going home to watch trucker Josh videos I quickly tied it down tagged it and flagged it. I'm 12 feet wide. Got a load of trusses behind me going down a park rap it's Minnesota and I don't know what I got a compliment on my truck today. Well, I think it was a compliment My shipper came out to bring me my paperwork when I was done tying it down, right? And he came up by I wouldn't know anyone out when he was squinting says your chrome is blinding me Well, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm gonna quickly grab fuel And since it's not very busy at the fuel islands here. One guy just showed up as I said that of course There's that I'll quickly show you the load and I'll fuel up That's my load This is the side that traffic's gonna meet at because I will be going on two-lane highways for a lot of my trip when I get to the US Not it's a sticking out a little bit at the end here But it's mostly flat along here, right? So the passing cars don't have to worry about that That's the stuff up there that I had to get readjusted. They had that down here Which makes sense when you're looking at it, right? But when I'm trying to tie it down, I can't get my straps anywhere near it So we had to throw them up there and all good and the other side you'll see Is where it's wide Yeah, I don't think I'm 12 feet wide that doesn't look 12 feet But yeah That's what they told me it would be sticks over is a little bit there and I got flags on Pieces here that are sticking out and this mostly just rides down the shoulder of the highway One more trucks pulling into the fuel islands here that other guy just pulled straight through So I'm gonna start fueling here. So I don't hold things up, right? Let's input all of our info into our app here My odometer reading in there Sure, it's correct fuel I put in It ended up being two hundred ninety one point zero five two liters two hundred ninety one point zero five two liters I paid two dollars and seventeen point nine cents Equal six hundred and thirty four dollars and twenty cents. So I actually did pretty good on this Last fuel up I got thirty six point two nine liters per hundred kilometers Six point four eight. So six point five miles per gallon and that's that number that I've been trying to hit So we did good on this last tank of fuel made it into the US We're gonna cross back over the Red River here, which comes down Well, it goes up into Canada from here. I guess we could say it flows north Cup over the Red River and watch all the water flowing back toward Manitoba or up towards Manitoba Look how much smaller it is here, right Once it gets to Winnipeg the Asiniboian River meets it and then up north of Winnipeg Thanks, Karen. We're in Minnesota everybody Karen wants to tell you it was so important. She had to interrupt me We're in Minnesota now Yeah, the river north of Winnipeg is just massive and it's up to a hundred feet deep Just tons of water heading up north it drains into Lake Winnipeg and Then from there on the other side of the lake the lake drains down a bunch of rivers down in the Hudson's Bay up north I think I've told you this many times but for the new people Our whole civilization around Winnipeg is based around the Red River that's That's the main artery it used to be the main mode of transportation in this area too you take the river Now we got roads and big trucks Much better much better We made it Could barely fit in here. Look at this view that's Leech Lake And uh, they're building something Right here and I'm delivering the trusses for it. No one's here. It's just me So I've got to back my trailer around there and dump them about 10 feet back from this pad On the other side back there All well, hopefully not getting stuck Really hope I'm not gonna get stuck. Huh? Is this pretty packed down here? That's pretty good. I mean I've got full walking diffs So if I have to no, I'm not gonna get stuck here. I'll be fine. I'm good thing they gave me that shorter trailer Because uh sitting down here jaws barely fit down the driveway I'm gonna get back in from there I'm not sure if you realized it or not, but that was a blindside back Good thing I have those sleeper windows. Another reason I wanted to have the sleeper windows It makes blindside backing a little easier and it's a huge open space. I mean I couldn't miss it Come on. It's not that hard So about 10 feet from here. He said I'd say I'm about um over 10 feet I want to give them plenty enough space And when I tip the trailer back, this is all gonna come sliding back, right? So I don't want it to be too close and straighten it out a little bit yet But if I dump it from here, we're right to there. So I think I could go a little bit Further back yet not too much though a little further back and we'll dump it 20 feet further back here before I take any more straps off though Gotta slide these axles forward so the trailer can tip So you can see already the trailer wants to tip backwards And I haven't even started tilting it yet So let's take the rest of these straps off and we'll slowly lift it up and then we'll release the rollers and it'll go So it's a not a not an exact science But these things are designed to come off the trailer like that And there's no damage it's sitting right where it should be Or 10 feet from the concrete there Everything is nice and safely out of the way I put this little piece over here pretty cool, right another day in the life Somebody's building a nice cabin on a nice lakefront property Now we got to get out of here. This is the driveway I came down You gotta build it somehow you gotta get the product here I should have called ahead to the minnesota national guard And told them to call off their air force of mosquitoes Around this area that it's just me. They don't have to attack me They just like foreigner and they came and they just attacked. I'm a friend. Okay friendly friendly The mosquito is here. How could you even enjoy these cottages on the lake? You just get eaten alive All right, come here for the weekend. You just lose all your blood. It just suck it all out There's crazy amounts of mosquitoes here Oh boy, it's like manitoba all over again. Okay, let's slowly get out of here See if we can I'm kind of really glad I got a flat top or a low low rise roof Excuse me and short stacks For uh for this delivery trailer as close as I can to that tree there Without hitting it They made this just big enough for me to get in here with this trailer to go underneath these low hanging trees But wide load behind me. I can go around this Before I had to go right under it Hello, that means a red light's coming. See I know the future Don't mean to brag or anything but I saw that one coming So this is uh, what town is this bagly sign there says bagly dental bagly I don't know what town I'm in But they got traffic lights very nice We're in minnesota still I don't know if you can see on my map there. We're just above uh What is that white earth indian reservation? It's just over there. I can't tell what town this is What does it doesn't matter whatever we're going this way got an empty trailer behind me I'm gonna be home at like two in the morning So excited about that fact and my sleeve on my shifter is doing the little uh Thing again, that's okay. I know what it is now. So I'm not stressing out about it. I don't care I gotta fix it It's like a $10 part and then I just gotta remove the airline slip it over blah blah blah blah What did you do man? Yeah, what did you do? What did you do you owe me? Whoops There was an incident on friday. Don't worry. It's not that kind of incident. It's it's actually a good thing Let me explain to you why uh, I guess I backed up against a little bit of a dirt hill And it my my mudflap It caught under the tire like this except on the other side It caught the tire here and the tire kept rolling backwards and it Sucked it down like that to the point where It broke it right off. I just took the bracket off here now Uh, yeah broke it right off Little spoiler alert for tomorrow May as I'll tell you now and get it out of the way, right It happens. So I have it in here maybe just reusing it but the spring broke and It's bent and I'm not putting a bent mudflap bracket on my truck All blue deserves better than that So we're going to turn this Happen stand this this whoopsie into uh into a good thing. Let me show you how I've got a set of these with clear leds. So they're not actually the red ones. They're clear leds Because i'm changing over all the lights to clear a dual revolution leds. Anyways, they're going to be uh Well, those are going to be red all the red ones are going to glow red and the amber ones will be my signals They'll be amber, but the lens themselves will be clear right when the lights are off And they're going to match these And I can switch those lights out those aren't dual revolutions in there yet, but uh, I will flip them out eventually All these are being replaced along with the uh Side markers With the same kind of lights The cool thing about this is They're gonna, you know function normally on the highway red facing back amber on the sides It's gonna look normal But when I go onto the parking lot in my park or at a truck show and I park I flip a little switch in the cab All the lights turn blue I can't use it on the highway. Don't worry I have a feeling that uh, there might be some other blue flashing lights Following me then wondering what i'm doing confusing people right, uh, blue is the color of Law enforcement in the united states and canada is red and blue. Well, I guess it's sort of red and blue in In the us too, but it's mostly blue So you can't have blue lights on your truck going down the highway It confuses people it makes makes them think you're your cop or something in a truck, which is pretty cool I love cops. So I mean, I don't mind, but i'm pretty sure the cops Would prefer I don't do that. They might think it's cool. They'd probably think it's cool But the going down the highway with blue lights would confuse people So those are just for off-road when I park at a truck show or in the truck parking lot just to you know Puff up my feathers a little bit when I park Flipping all on and though the whole truck will glow blue, but on the highway the function normally don't work I'm excited about that. So that's why I got these now and uh, hmm, I figure We made a Made a whoops a whoopsy. It's minor detail, right minor I figure why not if we're gonna fix it. Let's fix it and make it better So I'm gonna try as I already got these bolts out of there. I got my impact wrench I've got a few tools from dad's shop here This is my impact. This is his socket because I can't find my sockets ever since I got this shop and I moved my stuff in here I can't find my impact sockets These sockets, but I need tools I need tools I want to be able to do as much work as possible myself to this thing everything that I can do myself I want to do myself. It saves a lot of money The shop that I go to with this thing is 130 bucks an hour labor. I can save 130 do myself right here I got my own shop But I'm gonna save this for another vlog on the weekend. Uh, so thanks for watching today. It was a fun day down in Minnesota, uh, eventful At first I was kind of upset that that ripped off. It's it's happened to me before it's not the first time it's I should know better, but uh When you're backing up against dirt and you think your mudflap might catch underneath there It's always a good idea to grab a bungee Go back here Let me show you real quick while I'm ending this Go back here take a bungee and just like lift this up like this and just put the bungee all the way around Just to keep that up and then it won't rip off and once you're done doing whatever you're doing in the soft dirt or snow Can put that back down I didn't do that. Oops But we turned it into something good That'll be for another vlog. Thanks for watching today everybody.
