05:31something else when you've got otr in here LTL plus I think they've been down a
05:40dock the last few days
06:01we do a lot we pick up a lot of these crates out of here and if you don't know
06:05I
06:06think I've said before this place makes those if you've ever gotten a package
06:10from like Walmart or Amazon or Target or any of those companies you buy from and
06:17then you open the box and there's a little air pockets in there a little air
06:21bubble like plastic this company manufactures those the machines that do all
06:28that
06:31so I've got a return so anytime I got a return if I can always try to go on door
06:36for because the guy who does all the returns is right there
06:59oh come on baby come on come on be there
07:03look at there look at there look at there ladies and Jets look at there oh
07:08that's that's just money that's just money
07:14hey don't get any better than this folks I'm gonna go here and kick this pallet off
07:20and we're gonna start doing some pickups I'll be back in a second all right we're
07:24coming up to the next pickup this is a place that does like some of these high-end houses
07:36that are built and they have a stone pit in the backyard it's real nice got the
07:43cinder blocks and all that stuff this place right here sells kits to builders
07:52a guy was telling me I've come here quite often they're heavy I think this is four skids like
07:59a little over 6500 pounds so these pallets can sometimes pretty close to a couple grand a piece
08:05and I have to wheel them to the back plus we've got some big-time rains coming in back over
08:11there
08:12is looking at the radar when I left my last location and yeah we're gonna get some serious rain
08:19I've got a pickup that's got nine skids another pickup that's got eight that's pretty much gonna
08:28fill my trailer up so I've got to go into the yard and get on a forklift and strip it
08:33out so I can go
08:35out and finish my other pickups for the day hopefully these guys are here not at lunch
08:45we got some rain yesterday and this yard right here can get pretty wet you can see a little bit
08:50of
08:50the water right over there but it can get pretty muddy sloppy let me put it that way not really
08:56muddy
08:56it's got quite a bit of rock in here but
09:06these are the things we picking up right here pick up these concrete or whatever that is
09:15and then those those stone packages right there so I'm gonna get a little bit close just in case it
09:26happens to be one of these he ain't got to drive very far all right I'm gonna go in here
09:33and get
09:33the bills and I'll see you guys more finish well we're trying to beat the rain here you got quiet
09:40bit
09:40of rain I want to be able to get these next two stops in this one here and then my
09:46next one is a guy
09:48has to come out with a forklift and put it on the back and I got to pull it into
09:51the trailer and it's
09:53getting pretty pretty ominous over there did it to the west so I ain't got much time hopefully these
10:04guys are here already if I can I've got like eight skids I'm getting here eight pallets and
10:14then the next one's nine you can see it all back over there a little bit dark we need to
10:27rain you can

10:54we do have a
10:55cheater but it's still
11:23got too far into it
11:32get that hill assist off
11:46yep it's where the dual axle
12:03we're just gonna pull up here square it up a little bit
12:22well we still got too far out
12:28sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you want to sometimes you just smack them like it's no big
12:34deal other times you gotta work at it
12:46there we go there we go
12:53wasn't the prettiest thing in the world but you know they can't all be one dunners
13:00guys I'll see you in a minute please please no one else be here so we can get this done
13:06quickly
13:08sweet home Alabama look at here
13:11ain't nobody here
13:12he probably ain't got this stuff sitting outside
13:15no he probably got it indoors about to rain
13:20let's go get right there
13:28hopefully
13:30we can beat that storm
13:32look at that
13:33I don't know if you can see that or not
13:35it's coming
13:37it's coming
13:54yeah
14:14is there three
14:16not coming to pick up
14:34how many do you have total three okay
14:41okay
14:42so they're all in the same bill
14:44oh it's different bills
14:46two bills okay
14:50okay
14:52okay
15:06so they don't have nine they have three
15:10sometimes what we get on our handheld and what places actually have can be
15:14sometimes quite quite different
15:20I try to get over here before the rain
15:25okay there's that one let me move this out of the way
15:28let me move this out of the way
15:50okay
15:55yeah
15:55so
15:55yeah
15:55yeah
15:56yeah
15:56yeah
17:06Thank you, sir.
17:07You're welcome.
17:19What I always try to do is, like in this case, just leaving that here is get his bill signed
17:25so he can go about his way.
17:28I can sit here and do this versus me trying to do all this and him sitting there waiting.
17:38I'll fill out the rest of that here in a minute.
17:54Well, I've got to look at this.
17:56I just got another pickup.
17:57I might be able to go do it now since each one of those right there are 2,000 pounds.
18:05So I have a bar behind those and that one tied.
18:09That guy said that stuff ain't going nowhere though.
18:11He said it's so heavy.
18:12I said, well, make me feel better.
18:15Make me feel better if it's strapped.
18:22This van doesn't have those drop down bars.
18:37So I need to look at the dimensions on this next place because it's an airline place.
18:43Sometimes they have some really long stuff so I'm hoping, let's see, I'm going to have, let's see, 2, 4,
18:526, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 25, 25, 26.
18:57I'll have 26 feet, 26 feet and then 26 less than 10.
19:05Okay.
19:06That just lets me know there.
19:13I think that's going to do it for this video.
19:15I want to thank you so much for dropping by and sharing a few moments with me today as we
19:20stay right here by Interstate 44.
19:23A very heavy commerce road, a lot of trucks.
19:29So if you happen to be a truck driver like that gentleman right there,
19:33send in your photos so I can show it at the end of the videos.
19:35But guys, until I see you at the next one, I hope each and every one of you have a
19:39blessed rest of your week.
19:41And remember this, life is truly short.
19:44Make sure you make it sweet.
