It's another new day man. We're in Chester Chester, Iowa. We're just over the border from Minnesota. Minnesota's like right over there right over there And we are up at the ungodly hour Of what is it 6 a.m. Life of a trucker. Let's get some freight delivered We've got to deliver this lumber that we have behind us And we got to run back up to Minnesota pick up another new load Tarpet and then start making our way towards Alberta Canada. It's gonna be fun first We got to take care of the weasel You need to go outside? Right here. Oh that fresh air You know, I always say that I hate mornings, but it's not really true I love mornings. Fresh air first thing in the morning is the best thing All right, this guy is starting to lighten up a little bit there It's a good sign Let's get going. Railer's coming with me Right on, right on I need that It's only 20 minutes down the road here What we're gonna be unloading and they don't usually unload today. Today is Friday when I'm filming this Uh and they usually don't unload Fridays for some reason, but I called them and asked them really nicely and Well, here we are living the dream Proceed to the highlighted route. Oh, I intend to Karen I intend to but first we have to make sure that no other people are on the highlighted route first Okay, I think you're good. We'll deliver some lumber It's a nice small little town The message yesterday that I'm showing up this morning I'm just pretty sure the people who agreed to unload me aren't the actual people who are going to be unloading me this morning That should all be good Zach actually two minutes before and they told me to be there They told me to be there around 7 15. They'll get to me around 7 30 I'm gonna get there by the looks of it around like 7 13 7 12 The sun is starting to come up so that makes me happy We made it they acknowledged My entry into their little world here in that little yard their little their little lumber world And they told me to wait back here for a second There's a truck not this yellow one here, but there's one further down where that second tractor's coming from Uh, those are the last two bundles on that other tractor And uh, that other truck's gonna move out of the way. I'm gonna go park where that guy is Way down there and they're gonna start unloading me So this morning Was a success so far. We still have to go get reloaded, but that's gonna take a while that always takes a while the reload there Takes an average of six to eight hours It's a live load. It's you'll see you'll see. All right, so the tractor's getting out of the way This Semi truck's gonna come through here. Oh another guy is rushing into his spot back there. That was my spot Oh dude So this this guy in this black truck is gonna move out of the way here And I was supposed to go park where he was parked and it looks like someone else snuck in there Ha ha You skipped the line buddy. He came in the exit. He came in the wrong exit Oh boy That's not very nice Yeah, it looks like the loader is gonna go over there and uh, give him a talking to Bugs me when drivers do that like there's clearly a lineup like there's me here And then there's this yellow truck. We're already in the yard and that red truck wasn't in the yard He just happened to pull into the yard right when this guy was moving out of my way And so he snuck into that spot just cut in front of us Me and this guy in the yellow truck right here Oh that bothers me when truckers do that like don't they see like oh, there's other people waiting to be unloaded How about I just go and slip right in front of all of them? Oh, yeah, they're telling him to move Buddy come on You think you'd get away with that? Try to sneak in front of everybody Sneaky sneaky Not sneaky enough To everybody right I'm just glad they actually stood up for me and said hey That guy's first. Yes. Thank you very much. I am first. I was here Just like that We're done The wonderful got back out of a little space here Get out of their way so they can get their next driver in here Maybe go find myself a shower That would be fantastic In and out of here in less than 20 minutes This guy's gonna Make room for me here Very nice of him I don't know why he unstrapped on the road the lineups on the other side in the yard, but here he is Thank you wave And it will be on our way Always say thank you When they said they didn't turn around this corner, I believe we'll be back in minnesota Minnesota line it's around this corner here somewhere There it is On All right, we're gonna turn left on shooting star wildflower scenic byway because that's What they called it right here What a magical magical bypass it is a byway. It's not a bypass. It's a byway Whatever that means byway isn't every road a byway Shooting star wildflower scenic byway Very scenic indeed All right, we've arrived back into this warehouse here and they're gonna load me up i'm gonna tarp it And we're gonna carry on down the road Go straight to calgary from here. We'll have plenty of time to get there's a two-day drive We'll have three days to get there. So I won't have to run so hard Okay, they said 124 Or 125 okay, so i'm gonna back in right beside that guy I guess He is right in my way Shoot So as soon as that guy Pulls out of there. I'm going in behind him I can't get into the door. There is another door on the other side of him over there I could get in there, but really tight and he said he's almost done and he's gonna move so I'll just wait whatever. This is really quick that I got in here. Usually I have to wait like Six to eight hours like I said till I can leave here But usually it's just a few hour wait just to get into the warehouse now. I got here I let him know I was here boom. They got me in the warehouse right away VIP Tell you what I don't know why it's so quick this time, but I'll take it I guess they're just ready for me and the timing was just perfect He usually does take them about two Maybe three hours to load the trailer It's glass and it's got to be put on there just perfectly They nail it right down onto the deck the straps are actually just for show and for dot requirements The load would actually stay there without a strap on it But you don't want to test that like that one guy did with the lumber you still got to strap it down and then So this guy's moving out of the way now Back her in Well, it's a super easy Nice, you see how they nail it's Right down to the deck nailed all on here at the a-frame These things aren't going anywhere, but we're still going to tie them down anyway Just to be sure they load them with these big cranes up here They're loading the trailer on the other side of me right now That's going to be super easy Super easy to tarp that All right, let's get her done That's the guy beside me. It's just about ready to tarp his load This is mine All wrapped up like a birthday present Ready to go to Calgary I just got to tie down my extra tarp at the back here yet Tighten that down don't want to lose that on the highway. It's like a hundred pound tarp Maybe not that heavy, but It's heavy Off we go. I think we got another six hours and some minutes six and a quarter hours available to us drive today yet Then I'm out of my 14 hours. So we'll make it quite a ways And we're in no rush like I was saying we got all the way till Tuesday. It's Friday And we got till Tuesday to go 2000 kilometers or like 1300 miles So We're gonna be taking her slow and easy Sipping the fuel just sipping the fuel That's the plan Going to bed early or stopping early not going to bed early, you know reading my book Sleeping in a little bit. It's gonna be a nice relaxed trip This guy beside me had to unhook his truck Park it out there So we have to be able to keep these doors closed. This is a heated warehouse. Look at mine Look how close this is like just barely barely Made it in You can't get much closer than that I gotta wash this truck. It's filthy. We'll have lots of time on the way up Look at this Just filthy Even on the back here Just dirty dirty dirty I think I'm gonna stop at Blue Beacon and Fargo on the way back Not so rushed much more relaxing zero stress We got time. Let's just you want to burn more fuel than me on the two lane I go the full speed limit though I keep up with traffic because Two lanes. I know how annoying it can be to be stuck behind someone going slow Well, that's a big heavy load that guy's got there. We've got about a half hour up the road You know what that means Stop and check on the load make sure the tarps are still tarping make sure the straps are still strapping Make sure the load is still Where it's supposed to be doing what it's supposed to do 11 kilometers Sitting very still I'm actually going to see how much parking they have here if they don't have if they have some parking for me I think I might go in and grab a shower right away We'll see this this parking lot. It's always a gong show But we'll go take a look we'll go do a loop and see what happens. I'm not going to grab fuel here You have arrived at your destination on the right side five j travel plus a number 576 I think it's on the left side there Karen any parking spots to the highlighted route Oh, yeah, there's some parking at the back there Hopefully there's no wait for a shower Spots here. They're all doing here. What are we all doing this light pole right in the middle of the parking lot is Dumb I'm just gonna say it. It's dumb Silly it's a silly place for a light post. Why would you put it right in the middle of a tight parking lot? I'm gonna back in right here beside mr. CFI. I think All right diesel. Here we are Hopefully no one backs into me these empty spots right beside me. So someone's probably gonna back in here that light pole Why why why see that white truck is over there? Those two spots him and the one beside it. It's impossible to get in there. I've tried Usually those two spots are open unless if it's like taken up by a bobtail that guy's bobtailing That's a good spot for a bobtail because a big full-sized unit can't get in those spots. That's perfect But yeah, hopefully no one backs into us Let's take a look at the app here and see if uh There's a shower available if there is I'm gonna wash myself off scrub myself down a little bit You guys are gonna wait in here though. I'm not weird Let's continue on How much time do we have left yet? Let's do it. I don't want to stay here. This place scares me Such a bad parking lot this guy came and parked in right beside me here So close to me didn't hit me So close I don't like parking in these parking spots or these parking lots My hood ripped off the apples. Yeah, maybe you're on clear water Maybe up there if the okay, but you just pulled out in front of me now. You're gonna stop in the driveway Don't wait now. You're gonna continue driving What are you doing? I'm gonna get great fuel. This load is just perfect streamlined Wind just slips around my truck and doesn't even feel the load behind me Here we are Clearwater, minnesota It's only 6 30. There better be parking Tell you what better be parking for me See I want to go off to the left here and check the parking lot to the left It's just Hopefully nobody's gonna be coming out because the driveway is very narrow They take my parking spot It's on the street That's right trucker josh sleeps on the street Nobody's here either good. This is the safest spot where uh Nobody'll hit me if you haven't noticed yet. I'm paranoid of people hitting me when I'm parked I have trust issues Come on let's go See when I park on the street here like this Nobody's gonna hit me nobody'll back into me And that's what I like
