That's what we need to do We're on time and on schedule finally get to deliver this lumber Waited all weekend Because of that snowstorm Snowstorm slowed me down and I was supposed to deliver on Friday, right? Couldn't make it Friday. So I do it on Monday. Oh Well Enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend got a lot of working out in Got a lot more to do believe me. I hear you guys I hear you a lot more to do but we're making progress. That's all that matters making progress and we're making an effort and Preparing my body for whatever this world throws at me Let's get out of here. Chevy you ready to go you feeling better Chevy's been a little bit under the weather Had the sports What did you get into? What did you eat that you weren't supposed to eat? Yeah He's feeling better this morning though. I had to wake up in the middle of the night twice to take him out poor guy Who a guy I got you buddy. I got you. I'll take care of you. I'll take care of you Don't worry. We'll fix it up. We'll fix it Speaking of your breakfast is back there waiting for you whenever you're ready for it your stomach might not really want it right now, but It's there. Let's reset our Mileage for the day my tripometer, so I know how far I go today and also my fuel data I like to make sure that's reset every day so I get an accurate fuel read of how good my fuel economy is every day Looks to me like it's going to be a gorgeous day Beautiful and gorgeous packed together into one neat little package. We call it but gorgeous Let's go Lights are on a little tug test with my trailer Just a double triple check make sure it's not gonna fall off And off we go Let's get rid of this lumber. I really don't want it anymore It's been weighing me down for far too long I don't give it away to somebody who wants it Technically, I guess we're not giving it away. We're delivering sold product to them But I don't want it. They can have it Sooner the better And I still don't know what my reload is going to be. I don't know where where they're sending me from here in other news Manitoba my home province in Canada where I live has implemented this new law That I now need a drone pilots license to fly my drone So if you're wondering why there hasn't been much drone footage lately That's why That's a little FYI for you too if you're in the area or whatever area you're in look into it If you have a drone before you fly it because you can actually face Well, how big was the fine again? There's a pretty large max fine and you can also face jail time over here delivering our lumber Got all the straps off already. So whenever The forklift driver has a spare moment. He'll come and take these off And I still don't know what my reload is gonna be yet But I did send a message in letting them know hey We're ready for something new give me something throw something at me. Come on Whatever they need me to do. I'm ready Soon as they get this off a man. This won't take long. This is just Easy six seven eight nine ten stacks ten lifts. It's a beautiful day. I don't need this jacket on I'm hot and sweaty and I just realized that this morning when I woke up my shirts got this big stain on it I forgot about that last night when I was eating my lasagna. I spilled some on myself I can't believe I was so tired this morning And I just wanted to put on this old shirt just to come and unload so I wouldn't sweat into a clean shirt, right? I don't go shower after this and put on a clean shirt it then right? I think that makes sense. I think that's reasonable Forgot that that was there. It's kind of embarrassed when I realized that I open up the vlog with this big lasagna stain on my shirt Geez Big slob Oops I Apologize I tried to tell you down. I tried to tell you Let's try to tell you dad. There's a stain on your shirt. There's a stain. You wouldn't listen He's such a good boy. That's a good boy. Thanks for helping me get all the straps rolled up. Thank you. I I Offer comfort and support and lots of kisses Thanks. I appreciate you feeling better buddy. It seems to be feeling better Good boy. Oh all of your hair, man. Yeah, let's leave that out there. Oh came back in anyway. Oh You are one hair factory man. It's like you make you brush them and he just More hair just appears look at his butt here. I like your butt Dude, man brush you so many times Springtime I don't mind the hair doesn't really bother me that much it I've been living with diesel every day mile like for eight years. So I'm just used to it already I mean when people come around they're like, oh, wow, he's sure is hairy Well, I didn't even notice I clean up the hair obviously Brits much better at that than me but Takes a little bit more of it to build up before I'm like, okay. Okay. It's time to time to do something about this Well, you just brush them you do the best you can and you love them Like I'm not gonna not love my dog and not take him with me just cuz he sheds hairs on his fault. He's shedding It's the weather's fault. It's the climate's fault. Let's blame everything on the climate That's pretty pretty much what everyone does these days anyway, right? So why don't we blame this on the climate too? Make sense to me. I Just received a message back about the reload No reload yet. So I'm glad I didn't show up here like first first thing in the morning at like 6 a.m Otherwise, I'd still be sitting here wasting my e-log away Now they still got to get this lumber off of me here and hopefully by that time I'll have another message usually doesn't take them too long usually like a couple of hours max And I have a message on my computer here saying hey head this way Faith in them. They'll figure something out. But this is why we're talking about it yesterday, right? I wanted to give them time to settle in this morning and then get comfortable. It's a Monday morning And then start finding me right So I was right didn't take long Just about 45 minutes, and I had a message sending me over to Chan and Noah, Chan and Noah, Chan and Noah, Illinois something like that picking up a big load of Styrofoam Insulation I think that's what it is. It's super light. It's a full load And the load lasts like or the load weighs part of all the load weighs like five pounds It's gonna last me all the way to Calgary. I don't know what I'm trying to say I Picked it up yesterday afternoon Just after I was finished talking to you in that clip there and now we're in South Beloit, Illinois This is as far as we could go on our 14-hour clock. I was still wide awake when I stopped I could have gone much further, but The big old government in Washington, DC says hey You need to go to bed man bedtime Went to bed. I did Now we're just getting back on the road the next morning and Get as close to North Portals, Saskatchewan or Portals, North Dakota as we can that's where we're gonna cross the border and We're gonna be in Calgary on Thursday morning So this is a nice two and a half to three-day trip Go on halfway across the continent halfway across the country Nuts here absolutely nuts traffic keeps getting worse and worse like when I started driving like long distance in 2011 oh, wow, there's like no room Wow into a construction zone and Like I was just telling you the traffic is since 2011 when I started doing over the road It's gotten so much worse Quickly been driving since 2006, but until 2011 I didn't cross the border I just drove in Canada growing so fast and the infrastructure can't keep up. What's up, Chevy? We sleep good. Oh Man Summer has arrived. Just listen to that sound. Can you hear it? The sounds of spring the sounds of 18 wheels sailing by On the warm pavement I got a fancy trailer Good for him. I love that sound. I Love this feeling. Look how high the Sun is in the sky So summer is officially here in southern Wisconsin northern Illinois the border with Illinois is right down there We're just at the scale just entering coming north into Wisconsin Here is my load. That's called a smoke tarp on the front of it And what that does is since this is very light material like styrofoam material going down the highway over a long period of time the wind would catch this and Rip it open on the front and then it damages The freight so that keeps the wind from ripping the freight apart in the front And then it sails around the load and then you don't need it on the rest of the load Because there's nothing for the wind to catch on really And it's all the way down here all the way down here all the way back here and This here. It's just here nice and tight just to keep the load from Slipping back because it's literally the load is like five pounds Can't be much more than a couple hundred pounds and the wind might push the entire load back over time So we put this here just to stop it from sliding back That's the load we're gonna get excellent fuel economy all the way to Calgary. I'm very excited about that It's an excellent load to pull. I'm very happy with it. So it's gonna be a good well two and a half days It's two thousand seven hundred kilometers approximately from where I was that's a 27 hours of driving Which would be like Like six hundred twelve hundred plus six hundred Let's say 23 twenty five hundred miles So I'm somewhere in there. So it'll be a good trip. I'm I'm happy with it So we're gonna continue this tomorrow Thanks for tuning in today dropped off the lumber pick this up and tomorrow will be sailing on our way west and hopefully Wind will be on our side or wind will be behind us pushing us and maybe we'll use a Little to no fuel getting all the way there. I did tell you right like last month I finally got the results in my pay stubs and whatnot from last month when I started doing this fuel saving and Fuel economy thing and wow Does it ever save you a lot of money if you just don't idle your truck as much? Shut it off for night get a bunk heater or an APU stay cool in the summertime and Slower down I do 95 kilometers an hour or 60 miles an hour Saves you tremendous amounts of fuel tremendous like over a thousand dollars of fuel I say I mean for me it all goes back to the carbon tax So really and putting all this effort in and this I started doing this before the carbon tax was released I didn't realize that it was all just gonna go back to the government. So I'm not gaining anything off doing this, but That's a story for another time Take care everybody. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm excited for this trip Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't Still a lot of you that aren't subscribed
