 Hi everyone, this is Chris from Coconut Creek, Florida, and you're watching Trucker Josh on T...J... Well, we woke up in the same spot. We went to sleep and the load is still here. It's still tarp. I still got my weasel. What a good morning. No, no, no, no, no, no. You don't eat food off the truck stop ground. That's disgusting, man. Disgusting. What's it going, folks? Well, the diesel do his thing out here. We're at the Loves in Ellsworth, Iowa. This is our load. We're taking up at Fort McMurray, Alberta. We still got about another full three days of driving. It's a 2,000 mile trip, just over 3,000 kilometers. So it's a good long one. I'm happy with it. That's awesome. I was explaining yesterday how they tarped this. It was awesome. I'll explain it to you one more time, I guess. If you missed yesterday's video, you should go back and watch it, though. What they did was they didn't let me out of the truck. They did everything. So they rolled out my tarps in the floor of this shop, right, indoors, and they hooked both sides into this machine, which lifted it up flat above where I would drive in. All three of them were lifted up and then I drove underneath them and then the machine wrapped the load for them. And I didn't even have to get out of my truck. All they did was take a couple of bungees and just bungee the corners down so it didn't fly away when I drove out. So the machine put the whole tarp on for us and wrapped it up like a Christmas present. And then I drove out, tarped it down. I mean, used the bungees just to tighten it up, tie it down. And that was it. It took literally 20 minutes when this would regularly take me at least two hours. Even though it's a simple load, it's just that it's really high. It's awkward to get on top of. And I didn't have to get on top. I wasn't even allowed to get on the deck of the trailer. I had to stay in the truck the whole time. It was the most amazing thing ever. I really wish more places would have tarping depots like that. And they had eight guys in there helping. So it went so quick. If that's how it was to tarp the load every time, I think you'd have a lot less people complaining about tarping. I don't mind tarping myself, especially a load like this. It's simple. Even without that fancy machine, it's just a big square block. So it's easy to tarp down. But man, anything to make my life easier, I'm a fan of. That was awesome. Well, Diesel, na-yo, as they say. Na-yo. Time to go? No? No, you're not done yet? I thought you were done. You were just sitting around doing nothing, man. Still sitting around doing nothing. Sitting around doing nothing over there now. Okay, I get it. I need to go over here and do nothing over here now. This is fine. See? Very nice. Nice grass. I need to cut it a little bit, Joe. I know I need to get my John Deere over here, right? Those of you who follow me on my Facebook pages, all my social media is down below in the description of all my videos. We have these deer that come onto our yard at home all the time, and Brett always sends me pictures when they're in the yard. I think there's about five of them that come pretty regularly. And there are five does, but one of the does identifies as a buck. Very clear. Very clear about that. So I named him John, because I'm not a bigot. I don't judge him. So he's John. He's my John Deere. He comes and mows my lawn for me a couple times a week. So nice of him. Was that a funny joke, Diesel? Huh? Someone had a good sleep. Look at this guy go. Okay, let's go. I want to get down the road, okay? Come on. Okay, let's go, man. What's taking you so long? Hurry up, man. Hurry up, let's go. Careful, careful. Your leash is only so long. So hyper right now. Just stopped here on the west side of Minneapolis for a little break, and would you look at this? I got a big area for a dog to run around in. Now where are we going to find a dog to run around in there? What a really nice area. I'm not sure exactly if this is designed for a dog run, but I'm not sure exactly what else it would be for. Why else would you fence off a big grass area and keep it all nice and mowed? It's just there's no actual gates. Over there you can see that it's just an open pathway. The dogs can run right out if they want to. I kind of wish they would put gates that close, keep the dogs in here. Diesel's doing pretty good. Right? Right? Right? Getting tired yet? Chevy's going to be jealous, man. Chevy's going to be really jealous. Look at all the green grass. Oh, I love it. Where's he going? Well, bud. How you feeling? Dinner today is macaroni. What's it actually called? I got it in the store here. Kitchen fresh foods. Macaroni with ham and cheese. Made fresh, daily, never frozen. It is delicious. The windows are a bit dirty there, aren't they? You never know how dirty your windows are until you're facing the sun. There she is. Let's get back out there. We're averaging 24 liters per 100 kilometers today, which is awesome. That's about 9.8 liters. Pardon me. That's about 9.8 US miles per gallon. Almost 10 miles per gallon. Or this routine, whatever we're doing. 95 kilometers an hour or about 60 miles in one day is 22 liters. For comparison, my old freight liner, the best I could get out of that was 6 miles per gallon. Maybe 6.2 on the best days. It trips a little bit better so that I could take a little more fuel if I were to do 90 kilometers an hour or 55 miles an hour. I do even better fuel economy, but I just figure that it takes me too long and I waste too much time on my e-log. So 95 is like a happy, happy spot, right? Where I've been, I'm not saying for sure, but if you merge into this line of traffic, why is it that some cars, they try to like cut you off and come out from behind you and merge before you and then come up beside you so you can't merge? Oh, she's giving me the, the what's that? Hand signals right now. You were behind me. I merged first. I think this camera is doing that sunset justice right now. The sun is now setting in the northern part of the sky, not the southern part of the sky. I'm a different part of the world. We're so far up north here in Canada. Well, we're in the U.S. right now where I live in Canada that in wintertime the sun rises in the southeast and then sets in the southwest and barely comes up above the southern horizon, or southern, southern horizon. But in summertime up and around into the southern part of the sky and then comes back around and settles, pardon me, the northwest. So this, we get really long days. My phone is just going nuts here. What's going on? I am enjoying this sunset. Leave me alone. I have gotten a sunset to one. Look at that. Look at that. How dare you run into Fargo, North Dakota here now, just crossed the state line. This is I-94 that we're going under and over at the same time right here in front of us. We're going to be staying close around here for the night, but first we're going to go to our gym snap fitness. My poison oak is finally healed up before to getting back in there. I haven't actually been to the gym here in Fargo yet. It's just up ahead here. We're about five miles away or so. I think I've got to turn off at the next intersection here. Yeah, there we go. Oh, my lane's in it. It's right over there. So I'm going to walk in over there and hopefully not hurt myself. It's been a while since I've been in the gym the last time. It's only been a couple of weeks, so I should be good still.
