 Good morning! Good morning. That's a nice logging truck over there. Look at that. That is beautiful Very nice. I've been sitting here staring at it. I don't know if there's anybody in there It's gonna be really awkward if there is but it's beautiful Good morning. So, uh, we made it up here. We have to deliver in Shelbrook, Saskatchewan I made it up here at Prince Albert, which is just down the road We're gonna go get this stuff off my trailer. I have these like feed trailers or something to do with farmers I'm not too sure what they are, but there's four of them And get them off my trailer to where they need to be and then I'm gonna figure out where I need to be So let's get going We need to get everything we need we need to get this day on the road. It's brutal So it might be a little bit windy on the mic Got a proof to you that I'm in co-op in town right now to stop in for a coffee Takes a Saskatchewan from here. It's about two hours from here I'm gonna grab a load of lumber and that's taken me down to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota The temperature out here is definitely starting to drop real quick Especially when the Sun goes down Sun goes down a lot earlier in the day now So the temperature goes back down, but during the day it still gets up there when the Sun comes up And then I ah, it's gonna start getting cold We got a pretty late start today because I drove late last night So it'll be a lot of night driving today Hopefully we can get this schedule of mine reset in the next couple of days So that I'm driving during daylight hours, but it'll be a lot of night driving in the future Which makes it difficult to vlog so heads up, but I'm gonna do my best I'll show you as much as I can during the day Sun is going down quick Let's go get our free time. We were here, but I was gonna come talk to me right now I was need I literally just pulled the brakes and I was just letting you guys know that I got here He's already throwing the first two bundles on me Oh careful on the trailer there bud. Oh, you got it. All right. He goes Bing bang boom. You'll have me loaded in no time. I'm gonna tie this down And I'll be out of here in less than half an hour. Oh, he's just flying too I'll watch him in the mirror Here he comes there he comes And he's smooth too. It's like he's fast and just on point. Oh, no, he didn't like it there He didn't like it there. Oh, yeah, you're gonna know straighter Little straighter. There we go. Nice Like a glove. There you go. Yeah, it's got a straight boom going back for the next one full speed ahead I Love getting loaded here. These guys are great okay, so This is going like I was telling you to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota I got to stay in my truck here till he's done for obvious reasons He doesn't want to worry about running over me. He wants to worry about getting this done as fast as he can So I'll tie it down once he's done. So Yes, Detroit Lakes, Michigan, not Michigan Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Did I say Michigan Minnesota? Detroit Lakes, Minnesota And she's get there as soon as I can So probably tomorrow tomorrow afternoon or the morning of the day after depends Because I think from here it's about a day and a half drive So I'll try to get the half day done today. It'll be a mostly a full day tomorrow We'll try to get there by the end of day, but I'll probably end up unloading it the day after We'll see what happens. I got to figure it out here. Do some paperwork It's giving her. It's giving her Yeah, he's having a good time all right, so Zoom out here. I'll show you my route. All right, so we're starting up here. This is North America. There's the US We're starting up here in Saskatchewan Right, we're making our way down To Detroit Lakes, Michigan right there 1500 kilometers a little less We're gonna be crossing through here Ah, I keep pressing the wrong buttons here I'm gonna be crossing through here from Saskatchewan at North Port of Saskatchewan into portal North Dakota I'm going down through North Dakota here to Interstate 94 Take Interstate 94 East just over the border into Minnesota to Detroit Lakes Minnesota 1,466 kilometers So we'll unload the day after tomorrow first thing in the morning most likely and we'll get our schedule back on track Drive during the day and not the night 20 minutes 20 minutes no joke From the time I pulled the brakes right here and he started loading me To the time I'm strapped down and ready to go exactly 20 minutes. That's what I call efficient Yeah, there you go. We're sitting probably at about 77 78 thousand pounds gross and in that 20 minutes Not only did I have time to throw all the straps tie him down tighten them I also had time to carry my tarps from the back of the trailer where you saw them before up to the front here Where I like them better and tie them down here as well. Let's just make sure at the center one here is Pinned in here good Good Right on right on figured out my route We're gonna head up here through Meadow Lakes Saskatchewan was straight south down to North Battleford Take highway 16 east all the way down to the 11th It's ask a tune take that through Regina and continue all the way down through Esteban Wayburn To portal North Dakota across across their tomorrow for fuel today The cheapest fuel on my route is in North Battleford Saskatchewan. It's coming in at $1.53 a liter Canadian One second. I'll get some Americans speak up here for you guys So just take our calculator out right there's 3.785 liters in a US gallon $1.53 times 3.75. That's 5 79 Canadian per gallon So let's go to a handy Google right now 5 79 CAD to USD is 422 so in North Battleford Saskatchewan right now converted into US dollars and Gallons is four dollars twenty two cents per gallon That's the cheapest fuel on my route today. They're the lucky winners of my business Let's go get it sitting at just above quarter tanks and Just set my GPS to take me straight to the fuel stop now 172 kilometers that's about 110 miles or so I think will be just fine. That'll be perfect Approaching destination 100 meters the co-op card lock off here to our right Here just passed it also on our right 906 Battleford Road exit I clearly says exit on there There's the entrance okay fill up with fuel Take a little breather They've completely redone this year. I've showed you this already Made it a lot nicer Petro Pass is actually making a huge effort in renovating all of their locations Actually really nice It really needed to be done really needed to be done. They're doing a good job Pilot flying J coming up from the US has really sort of forced them to Raise their standards Which is a good thing. It's always good to have competition in business 5.73 Miles per gallon This is what we've averaged over the last 1,000 miles or 1,600 kilometers a little bit below the six that I shoot for But that is what it is. I guess Bought six hundred and seventy seven liters hundred and seventy eight point eight US gallons Cost me a dollar fifty three liters of one thousand thirty five dollars and eighty one cents Canadian Oh, and I marked down here that we're in Meadow Lake. That's not correct. We're in North Battleford I got to get my my facts straight on here North Battleford Where's my How's this thing work? Ah, that's why you know how to use white out Josh. Don't you? North Battleford At first I was gonna fuel in Meadow Lake Saskatchewan up where we picked this up But the fuel up there was a dollar and a half a dollar one and a half cents more per liter Which would have cost me. Let's see if I would have fueled up there for a hundred six hundred and seventy seven gallons Zero point zero one five times six seventy seven. It would have cost me an extra ten dollars and fifteen cents. I Kept that I'll get me a couple coffees North Battleford Saskatchewan, there we go Make sure that I record accurately because one day in the future. I may need to look back on this All right, let's continue on We're in Davidson Saskatchewan. Let's see if we can find a place to park called a night SO truck stop It's also got a Tim Hortons there. That'll be nice in the morning Hopefully there'll be a spot for me here. This is a pretty big lot. It's all gravel, but my truck's real dirty right now anyway, so That doesn't really matter Shouldn't be able to find something here. It's looking pretty full already just Front here everybody's piling up here already that means that In the back must be even more full trucks here be a spot there, but everyone's parked crooked That's okay. I didn't want to park there anyway Well, we waited till the Sun came up to end this off Shout out to Grant who came and said hi to me and Tim Hortons just now Nice to meet you man It's from around my area too. It's always nice to meet people from around my area out on the road There's not as many of us anymore, so It's great to see that we're still out here Okay This is where I ended up parking there with a couple of trucks parked here beside me This is the safest spot I can find Past 11 a.m. Already, so I'm good to start rolling. We're gonna be in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota I keep wanting to say Michigan Detroit Lakes, Minnesota Tonight, that's the goal. We want to stop in Minot. I want to grab a truck wash Just grab it. I don't know what that means. I want to get a truck wash get on to get the truck clean because look at this thing Oh, I don't look at it. Stop looking at it. It's disgusting.
