 Good morning world. Take this out Duncan Donuts. It's like Timmy's of the US Seriously, it's like Timmy's there was a lineup almost all the way around the block It seemed for Duncan Donuts this morning at the drive-thru I went in because obviously I'm in too big of a vehicle with the drive-thru but Going in there. I could tell that It was pretty much the exact same atmosphere and feel of Tim Horton's not quite as good I'm just gonna go out there and say it not quite as good as Tim's, but I am a little biased But I do love their coffee and They don't have as good of food selection as Tim's but I thought It's gonna be good anyways. I mean Smells delicious. What was this one again? It was like a big big breakfast sandwich. I think that's what it's called Oh Yeah Looking forward to that and have that right now So yeah, if you Canadians are ever wondering what Duncan Donuts is when Americans are talking about it Just think American Tim Horton's Okay, let's let's go in here. I'm done my pre-trip. Oh, we gotta Keep moving along here. You got to go deliver this lumber. Oh There's one of those new Chevy Silverado's My poor Silverado. Oh feels so bad for it. I do not like the new 2019 body design The 2,500s are all right though if you get the high country It's all right as long as you don't have the the whole word Chevrolet written across the front I don't like that but the high countries just have the bow tag the bow tie And I'm sure you could get the bow tie just on a regular pick up as well, but Good thing I got an older Silverado. Maybe I'll just keep that one All right, let's get to work everybody. I Had a great sleep Duncan Donuts is just off to the left here. It's this big group of high school High school girls. I guess hey, excuse me. I'll forgive you this time this time There's a bunch of like young high school girls giggling and doing their little high school girl thing inside of Duncan Donuts they're all on their smartphones and Made me think back to when I was in school It's been a while. I graduated in 2006 So I'm not sure how they I'm pretty sure they have a very similar school system in all the way up to grade 12 It's the 13 years of schooling and then you're done Basic schooling and after that you have post-secondary And just like the US kindergarten grade 12 is Covered you can go to public schools. I went to a private school, but you can get kindergarten grade 12 for free or paid for by the taxpayers, which is good I support that because I don't want to grow up in a nation of completely dumb people So I want everyone to have a basic education and after that you got to pay for post-secondary I actually got accepted into the University of Winnipeg and University of Manitoba. I was gonna study criminology Wanted to be a police officer But I ended up not going even though I got accepted. I Wanted to be a truck driver And here I am I'm actually very happy With my choice. I love doing what I do and I don't think I would love being a cop as much But I couldn't say because I've never been one I mean Being a police officer you have to deal with the worst of the worst of society every day All of the scumbags that I avoid now All of the neighborhoods that I avoid now are the people in the neighborhoods that I would be in every day as a Police officer dealing with them from the beginning to the end of my shift And it's not all bad. I mean being a cop. There's a lot of awards about it. There's there's the Come Rotary brotherhood of being with your other officers I guess you can't say brotherhood anymore because that's probably not politically correct. I Can't keep up with that either as a cop you got to be pretty politically correct because you know you offend the wrong person Right away is they get all mad at you and blame you for all their problems Now I work by myself. I can take my dog to work with me all the time Spend 24 seven with my dog. I Get to travel the continent I get to see all of the United States and Canada Though we don't go to the Southwest of the US very often I've asked for loads down there, but we got no no no routes going down there But I usually every couple of years I I go down there on a road trip in my personal vehicle And now I own my own business too, right? Whereas if I'm a cop, I'm never gonna own my own business. I can't own the police department That's if I become the king it hard for me to do Can't just walk into the palace one day be like hey, I'm king now People seem to frown on that my friend when there is a stop light. Why are you stopping in the left lane? Now both lanes are at a crawl Should be in the right lane buddy right here, which is practically Chicago if you look at a map it's Chicago All the locals will be like no, it's not Chicago. We're all that no, it's Chicago Look at a map. It's all the same thing To an outsider coming in like me. It's all the same thing This is a mega city. It's just huge all the way from the lake all the way out to like Montgomery and Aurora there We're at where I delivered. It's all one city just sprawling So fascinating to see and come in and take a look at it man. I wouldn't want to live with around this many people But that's just me. That's just me I'm a rural country boy. I like it out there better, but You know, I'm not knocking the city because there's a lot of you're still in the left lane, buddy. What? This guy's right beside me here. Why a long lineup of cars behind you that would like to get to work Why are you blocking them? You know people do that they do that in Winnipeg too all the time No reason for him to be in there. You know, he might be making a left turn soon But I mean he's been in this left lane for quite a while now Is that what you want to do because you're speeding now. You're really speeding Yikes, there you go. There you go. Very good. See now all these cars. I want to get past and get past except Now they're not in a hurry What do I know? What do I know? Look at these suburbs here on the right beautiful homes Just massive homes. I would like to have one of these homes on our property They seem a little bit plain though. Maybe it's Sort of like cookie cutter like they're all Practically that there's only like three different kinds of houses here. I want to have the exact same home as my neighbors I want a different one Well, I arrived here and checked in at my shipper But they are really busy right now But all these guys over here are waiting you too, so I've got to move on down the road to the truck stop apparently and wait there Is it running out of room here? And they're gonna give me a call When they're ready for me Just for the record I was here five minutes early for my appointment Appointments don't always mean something. I Don't know where this van guy is going, but I've got to make a U-turn and get out of here Without causing more trouble This guy leaving to or what is this guy doing? Which way you going buddy? I know it's a parking lot, but signals do help Even in a parking lot case so you're turning right. Okay. You see I almost cut in beside you there And that would have caused a bit of a kerfluffle because I didn't know what you were doing Didn't know if you were going straight didn't know if you were turning right here, but okay, whatever Guess that's my job to pay attention So I guess I'll be going around and loading right where all these guys are loading right in front of me here And then I have to strap it and tarp it before I leave here Goodie at least it's a paved lot This guy in front of me is also going to the same truck stop as me to wait there He was really not happy about that He wanted to stay here and wait, but they told him to go like a block down the roadway at the truck stop He was not happy He's obviously in no hurry though. What are you getting paid by the hour buddy? Come on. Let's get out of here. I Want to go and park this guy's going through the scale, but I don't think he's scaling Again buddy, I don't know where you're going I'm just gonna wait here Pretty sure he's gonna park up in front of the line here and I want to back in Beside this Pete if at all possible Park right beside this red Pete We're off in the back in the back corner where no one will bug me and I'm out of the way And for some reason my audio Was not working here. I Was talking this whole time, but I got called back to the customer here to go line up in their yard It was kind of a weird system, but Here we are in line and got about four or five trucks in front of me here We got one two three four six or seven off getting loaded way off to the right there and Yeah, it's got a weight from the total shingles on the trailer and then we will be on our way and here I was Talking to you guys again, I Think I was talking to you here about how I I was sent a message on my satellite on my computer in my truck But I had to tarp this load But the guys here at the yard looked at me funny said no one tarps these loads and I looked around and sure enough No one was tarping. I mean there were curtain side trailers But anyone without a curtain side trailer was not tarping their load. So I called in and said what's up? Do I got a tarp this stuff or what? No one else is doing it these guys say I don't need to do it They're looking at me funny and they said no that was actually a mistake in my computer. I don't have to tarp it So that was a bonus All I got to do is tie it down and I can get out of there. I can save myself like an hour at least Don't have to tarp it and save myself time on the other end as well We're not having to un-tarp it. I didn't take too long. We just got called in we're gonna get Loaded up. I don't see anyone else really tarping it. I see these curtain side trailers But no one else is tarping it. I'm gonna be the only dude that has to tarp this stuff Aren't I I think he's gonna load me right here looks like this is the spot They'll load me up there with all this stuff right here So we got some good news We don't have to tarp it after all that was a mistake in my Messaging because the guy here looked at me funny when I said where do I tarp it? I? Don't know man. No one tarps these loads. You need to tarp it. Oh My computer says I got a tarp it and she's all right well then he pointed to an area well I guess you ain't gonna tarp it over there if you need to and So I called into to the office to the load gods and I asked them this or I told them It's got kind of looked at me funny when I said I had to tarp it and no one else here is tarping the loads Do we have a special request to tarp? It's like no no no. I don't know that must have been a mistake Good so it was a mistake that I got told now I'm gonna double-check every time because just because my satellite tells me that my computer here Just because it tells me that I need to tarp it doesn't necessarily mean I have to tarp it I would have wasted like an hour at least tarping this load here When I didn't have to So this is gonna be quick I'm gonna be real quick. I just got 14 pallets that's throwing on me Throw a cube a couple of straps over that make sure they don't fly away, and I'm out of here And apparently my receiver is first come first serve It's said in here also that I had an appointment at 12 noon tomorrow That was a lie as well first come first serve so I got to get in there as early as I can And then I got to go over to our steel place again pick up another one of those Wide loads of steel one of those ones with the very nice numbers attached to it Very excited about those numbers It's it's a it's a good paying load so That's going to Alberta I think to the oil fields again And I don't it's probably going to that same site that doesn't like dogs But Brit wanted to come with me if I'm passing by home. I wanted to stop by at home and pick up Britt and the dogs So I think what we might I Don't know what we're gonna do Maybe he's going to a different site Maybe but the people here like it's the same company in Ontario that ships it to the oil fields in Alberta And I talked to the boss here in Ontario and told them about their Discrimination when it came to canines and he wasn't happy about that at all He was a big dog person. He he was petting diesel like crazy. He loved diesel and Gonna go talk to him again tomorrow He told me that if they ever give me problems again about having my dog in the truck That I'm supposed to tell them to call him and he'll straighten them out because it shouldn't Shouldn't be a problem to have my dog in my truck on an oil field site. It's not a food grade site It's not a dangerous goods site It's not a hazardous material site. It's just They're just building big bins big steel bins. That's it and he's like there's no reason they should not let dogs In your truck he could understand if the dog got out of the truck and I told him to I said well Yeah, I I'm sure that some driver ruined it and Went to the site and just let his dog out and let it run around while he was like Untarping the load or something and it got in the way of all the workers and there's big machinery and cranes and tractors all over the site They're yeah, you don't want to have your dogs out of your truck, but he did say if they're if he's inside your truck Just make sure he stays in your truck. There's they should not have a problem with that So I'll talk to him about it again tomorrow and if he if he's in charge And he's the one who calls the shots like it sounded like it was last time like last time I dropped diesel off at home anyway just in case but Talk to him again, and if he says that I'm supposed to tell them to call him if they got a problem with my dog Well, then I'm gonna pick up Britt at home and we're gonna take the whole family along For that week it's like two days out to the the job site and then get reloaded in two days back home I'm really excited to have her with me on Friday. My truck is getting detailed the whole inside of the truck is getting Detailed I'm taking everything out and there's a professional that's gonna come and clean everything inside here So that when Britt gets in the truck it's it's Presentable Because I can't claim I mean I can I can clean up a little bit, but I can't make it look new So it will look brand new After next weekend. I guess we'll see we'll get loaded up here, and we'll head towards Ontario I would like to stop at the gym Again later today probably the one in Schwartz Creek, Michigan again They had good truck parking there good truck access. I'll probably stop by there again on the way We'll see how long I'm here for now that I'm not tarping I have a little bit of extra time that I didn't know I had Excited about that Is he almost done? He's got two four. He's putting the fifth one on right now, and I need 14 hurry up and wait Who wants to talk to me to Canada this way The crossing into Sarnia, Ontario from Port Huron, Michigan same thing as last week And we'll probably go to that same petro paths to in London I liked it there. I still got a check when I stop and have time Maybe while I'm waiting in line at the border. I don't know. I got a check to see if they have showers there I'd love to have a shower the gym I stopped at in Schwartz Creek today. I Didn't have a shower. I Really wish every snap fitness had a shower But I didn't have time. I'm once again cutting her clothes here to get to the border. I've got I've got ten minutes to get over that bridge I'll make it no problem Same thing as last week. It's like deja vu Cutting her pretty close again, but we did get our workout in I didn't get any cardio in today, but I Was in the gym for About 45 to 50 minutes Now we got to pay our dues to get across the bridge Kilometers All these no parking signs here obviously mean nothing every time I go through here Guys are parked here. I have to pay money to get back into my own country Isn't that silly a nice big bridge, but then they charge you to go home My hood you're I know you like me I mean obviously because you're charging me to leave so you obviously want me to stay that bad, right? Let's pay here. I got $20 us for them. I think it's 1625 us to cross here. I guess cuz I have a tri axle trailer. I have an extra axle on this trailer So they charge me extra. I Know right Same weight Whatever you imagine those trailers around here that have like ten axels. I've seen them they exist around here I must be expensive to cross with those things sales 1950 us Hashtag not impressed with the price But I am a little flattered that America wants me to stay so badly that they're actually going to you know Find me to leave That is flattering. I Love you to America. I'll see you again. No, don't worry. I'm not going back home for good I'm gonna come visit again. We're here in Wyoming Not that way oh man Wyoming, Ontario. I'm gonna spend the night here at this flying J According to their app. They have four showers here So I'm going to go make use of one of them that I can find a parking spot here This is just inside the Canadian border Probably about ten minutes from Sarnia, Ontario Which is the border town Just on this side. I hope they actually do a showers here sometimes these Because this was a truck stop that was sort of turned into a flying J. Right sometimes these ones Lie in the app This is how I get in here. It's a driveway. There's a big curb here for no reason Look at all these drop trailers taking up space here. I Hope they're paying for that. I really hope they are Look at that. I Could use one of those spots Taking up exactly where I'm gonna park. Hopefully there's an open spot here. I might have to turn around. Oh Yeah, there's open spots over that guy's got a reefer. That's why no one's parked beside him Sorry, buddy Nobody wants to park by you. Oh, this guy's got a reefer, too I don't want to park by you either And there's a spot down here He's all wide loads like I got a reefer, too Bang it I Might have to settle. Oh wait. Nope. There's a spot right here. I Don't have to park beside a reefer Alright diesel there we go. What do you think very nice parking job bank very nice Couldn't have done it better myself if I had done Really do you really mean that? Thank you. What a nice compliment We're off here in the back corner all by ourselves right beside this guy. He's got a a wide load on of Farm equipment. So, you know, he's not gonna be noisy. He's got an APU as well So anyway, that that's the date so the reason we pushed it to get over the border today yet into Canada was the same reason as last week So that I don't have to stop as long for night Here on the Canadian side I've only got to stop for eight consecutive hours before I can start my next day my day tomorrow Whereas if I would have stopped in the US I would have had to stop for 10 consecutive hours. So I gained two hours tomorrow. I can get to my appointment or I can get to my receiver Two hours earlier than I could have if I would have stayed on that side and it's first come first serve So I'll get there as early as I can And then from there I'll go and get reloaded and then I'll be two hours ahead on my whole day Because tomorrow when I load up that wide load, I'm not allowed to pull it through Ontario on the two-lane roads up north during the night So I want to get as much done during the daylight as possible before the sun sets. We'll see how far we get I'd like to get up to north bay. I don't think I'll take the 17 because those loads are very heavy That's why I have the tri-axle. It's 65 000 pounds of steel. So I'll probably take 11 just because it's flatter less hills Uh, so hopefully I can make it up to north bay Who knows maybe I can make it all the way up to Cochrane, Alberta, but We'll probably shoot for north bay We'll be pretty lucky if we get there already Anyways, thanks for joining me today. I think today was a bit of a longer vlog. I seem I feel like I talked a lot today So, uh, I apologize if you don't like it and uh, you're welcome if you like the longer stuff Well, there's another vlog coming tomorrow.
