I Broke The Number One Rule Of Winter Trucking // Iowa Wind Ep456

so so [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] so 50 mile an hour wind gusts a temperature of 19 degrees and some actually snow and a little bit of ice on the roads i think it's safe to say that winter has officially started but i think it's supposed to be like 60 degrees in two days [Music] well we are delivering a load of plastic up here in lamar's iowa it came out of marion indiana we made it about oh i think we're probably about 20 minutes east of fort dodge iowa on highway 20. the weather kind of jumped up at us at me at least i wasn't watching the weather good enough and i actually pulled a mistake last night and it's a mistake that i should probably know better by now because i run at nights a lot and i park in all kinds of weird places and last night i actually pulled a big oops [Music] but before i go telling you about that big oops we're up here at the dairy that's the ice cream factory i ran into a very very nice gentleman here really nice carried a conversation on with him for a little bit and we talked about the weather that's just what truck drivers do come on there we go well turns out his dad a mr cam rassel hi how are you is a truck driver and a subscriber of ours and a viewer of ours so mr razzle you got a good kid there you did a good job and it was darn nice to meet him yeah i'm not gonna fit through there austin powers okay i'm gonna fit this way all right and as always cam stay safe out there on the roads and thank you for watching oh it is cold i'm gonna say it's cold my nose is red my hands are red it is cold um it's 19 degrees when i say that guys what i mean is it's 19 degrees an actual temperature and a wind chill temperature or an actual temperature and it feels like temperature is quite possibly the dumbest thing that a weather man came up with i think the actual temperature is supposed to have something to do with uh camera went on a little fritz there it was cold okay the actual temperature is like your normal temperature like right now you're like you know it's 32 degrees and then the wind chills how much the wind is blowing and how much it actually how long it something about bare skin well you know what if i see a word that says feels like it's that temperature so it's that time of year again where i have to remind you guys that every time that i uh talk about temperatures it's always going to be that wind chill temperature that the weatherman's telling you it is i to me it just makes sense if it if it's 32 out but it feels like it's 19 then it's 19 degrees out that's just the way it is [Music] all righty you think you're gonna get a treat let's see if she doesn't give you one i have something okay let's see if she gives me thank you i'm sorry they didn't give you a treat or me a treat there you go yeah there we go you got some original recipe soft dog treats that's too bad oh i mean i was kind of looking forward to some ice cream but at least you got some treats yes you did dad those are your treats i wanted her treats i know i know i know oh [Music] [Music] well what's going on today guys is we dropped a loaded trailer up into mars we picked up an empty one and brought it back to the yard here and uh from here we're going to grab a loaded trailer that's going down to edwardsville kansas before we do all that though i do need to go do some shopping down at kenworth here in town and pick up a couple supplies for first class don't get too excited though [Music] it's nothing pretty watch out my channel you going you move okay that hurt my head opie oh over here come on there's grass over here man and there's snow in it though man i'm not ready for this there's barely any so what did i do that was so wrong what did i do that i should have known better it's quite simple actually last night the wind was blowing 50 mile an hour gusts they say maybe up to 60 mile an hour gusts temperature dropped down into the teens parked on an off-ramp an on-ramp i love parking on on-ramps there's days and there's times to park on an on-ramp and there's days and there's times to find a truck stop or find something a little bit more shielded we woke up this morning and our actual temperature coolant temperature on the truck was sinking out she was under 150 i think it was under almost around that 125 which is not only hard on the engine but is also you're not getting much heat plus that truck would have went down you know i haven't stocked my truck up for winter yet usually i carry a little portable i think they call them buddy heaters in there for emergency purposes and i hadn't done that yet so if that truck would have went down there's nowhere warm around to crawl into that's one little thing you need to watch out for in the winter now now that winter is here and it's chilly and it's cold don't don't do that i mean if it's miserable cold out the wind's blowing 100 mile an hour don't park on a wide open off-ramp on-ramp because oh don't eat that because it it could bite you in the butt and that's what i did and i not a hundred percent sure i know i have two brand new thermostats in this thing but i had to throw my winter front on the front just today and winterfront is a cover we put over our grills to help it stay warmer to help the engine stay warmer and my engine coolant temp maybe 175 is the highest i've seen it get which is fine but for that that engine oil temp that won't raise at all man that's just staying pegged down even with the truck working right now we have 35 000 pounds of uh i'm just not sure what's in the trailer we'll talk more about that the next one but we have some weight so we'll see what it actually does with some weight see if we can bring those temps up pretty sure those thermostats aren't sticking or they're brand new but i'd hate to see if they were sticking but either which way if they would have stuck wide open we wouldn't have got any temp because those diesels those truck engines they are cold cold blooded you shut them down it literally takes five maybe 10 minutes to drop down to 50 degrees on those engines they just it takes nothing for them to cool down [Applause] you know this is where you get in trouble you're probably eating rabbit crap again opie oh those are not snacks stop okay just stop you haven't gave me mcdonald's no we're taking a week off from mcdonald's we'll get back on them next week i promise no don't eat that so yeah that wasn't pleasant it was kind of chilly it was warm upstairs but time i went downstairs i hope he was kind of cool he was all bundled up in the afghan trying to stay warm and i felt horrible for doing that to him so i would like to say lesson learned but i it always takes that first time you know what i mean in the wise of you know last winter i probably did the exact same thing and parked on an on-ramp when it was cold wind was blowing 100 mile an hour when it gets chilly just find a covered place to park maybe with something warm in the area just in case things go wrong [Music] so in the why is what's inside those boxes there's nothing cool inside of them they're just air filters for the truck and then we had to pick up an exhaust clamp to finish up with our little exhaust project i had going on underneath the hood it's a busy place tonight usually this truck shop usually this truck stop is rather slow [Music] got a truck over here going on the hook a couple people running around it's a busy place so aren't you lucky i didn't know you're coming home tonight i could have gone out and had myself a fun time because i'm at home while my slippers make mac and cheese you know i even took a nap it's been quite a nice night need to find something else yeah i can't make mac and cheese if you can't make mac and cheese you have issues i'm just going to say it well me i'm i'm well if you think about it i'm in advanced in a lot of other stuff so maybe i don't know it's the breaking section how was your week uh non-eventful non-eventful wait was it not i don't remember you know her week just got done at 3 30 today she doesn't remember i don't remember we're gonna go home for a night we're gonna chill out we spend some time with the family and then we're going to hit the road we're going to run down to kansas city with that load that's behind the trailer it's me i don't know what kind of meat we look at the paperwork and i'll give you guys specifics on the next one as for right now do you have anything to say before i cut these fine people off i choose to stay home and make mac and cheese instead of going out and making your parents mad children stay safe and as always i'll see you next time [Music] so he stops he does this right here he stops and has jack smelling before he can actually go in look at a tail up and everything why i don't know why they do that every time every time wolfie comes home i'll be weird just like that wait hey jackie baby hi hi are you excited are you excited yes you are you're just a big daddy hey guess what guess what i think somebody named their uh dog after jax i was buzzing over the comments and uh i think somebody named their dog after that big lovable luff right there i haven't had a chance to ask him yet if they did but i think so carl's out turn his light out hi carl hey carl that's my pet crawfish girl girl you gotta say hi to him every day you say hi to him yes good come look at me back and see okay what happened to our table why is it so disgusting um that's not going to work that looks pretty good it looks like cheese yeah it needs more cheese doesn't it well the noodles are yellow the cheese is yellow and i can never tell okay well i got to get to cleaning that table off i'm already going crazy and i just got home
