 Morning everybody. We're at a rest area here in Northeast, Pennsylvania on I-81. We're headed up into Massachusetts today. So we're going to be going through the rest of Pennsylvania, dipping through New York, Connecticut, into Massachusetts to Wolburn, Massachusetts, where I'm going to deliver one pallet. Then we're going to head over to Beverly, Massachusetts, where I have some more deliveries to make tomorrow. Once that's done tomorrow, then we head up into Maine to Bideford, and then we'll see where my reload takes me from there, but my trailer will be empty at that point. So let's get going. Let's get out there. It was a good night. We actually got a spot at the rest area here. If you watched yesterday's vlog, we got lucky. It's time to head out there. Let's go do some trucking. Let's go find some coffee. Successfully get around this guy here who pulled a little bit further forward than I did. Shouldn't be a problem. The truck is still clean from yesterday's blue beacon truck wash. I think it's going to be a really good day. I always feel better when the truck is clean. Exit here. There's a little Exxon truck stop. Let's stop in there and go get some coffee. They had coffee in the rest area here, but they didn't supply cups, clean cups to use. Shouldn't be this time of day. Second, Karen. Here's your coffee first. Very important. Be happy on the road in the morning. Find the cheapest juice today. That's where we're headed. Fill up the tanks and then go to our delivery. You're expecting us there this afternoon? No specific time. First come, first serve. They close at 4.30. So I'm guessing I got one skid for them. So as long as I'm there before four, I'm guessing that'd be okay. They didn't tell me. New York City and that whole mess of traffic there. That's right here. Right in the cops who just sit there all day, must be. Thank you. It's bad. It's going to cut right. Masha Claw Road, Southbridge, Sturbridge and then slight night in 160 meters. Looks like they changed this to Exit 3 now. Well, my GPS is still fixing Exit 1. Well, where's the other two? It has Exit 3 now. Masha Claw Road, Southbridge and then slight night in 50 meters. Said right. Right. I got to pick a lane which went right here. Massachusetts, right? And I always pretty much just fuel a pilot flying J to get their points and so I stopped here before stopping for night to be a little sketchy. I don't know the way that truck stops set up. There's many spots where you, you have to take a risk parking that someone's going to drag the trailer over you at night or back into you while they're trying to get in. But that's a lot of truck stops. And when you're on the East Coast, when you find a spot, you're just happy that you found a spot. I try to stick to rest areas out here because that is usually a pull through spot. Not that I'm afraid of backing in. I'm confident in my ability to back into any spot, but it's the other people backing in beside me. I'd rather have a pull through spot beside me so that they just pull in beside me or anything I don't got to worry about as much about getting hit as quickly. I just want to fuel, grab coffee and they said to be there before 4.30. So I'd say like around four right now with all the traffic I've had to deal with. I'm probably going to be there about 2.30 now. I was hoping for two, but probably 2.30. Maybe three o'clock depends how much more traffic we get. We are fueled. Let's get out of this mess. Actually, it wasn't that bad. I didn't have to wait that long. 109 kilometers or 65 miles or so to our destination. We are on schedule. Everything's looking good. Take the entrance to the left on. I-84 East I-90. He figured it out. The coast is hot. I thought it was September. I'm melting. There's no end to drink in the fall where I'm good. Take the entrance to the left on. I-84 East I-90. One week in spring and one week in fall. Those are the comfortable weeks. To the left on. I-84 East I-90. All right. Follow that other truck up there. He's from New Brunswick. Now they're Canadian up here. Down here. Whatever. However you look at it. On a map it's down. Drive to your destination on the left side. Worried for a second there. Neighborhoods in your your stock. Got to get the cops to come block traffic and everything. I don't want to do that. Truck parking. I lost another hub cover. The third one I've lost on this trip. I lost two off this side and one off the other side. I have to go replace it again. They're not too expensive. They're like 12 bucks. And I also lost one of these. I must have hit a pothole and that just popped off. So I made sure this one was really in there. Really good. It has little clamps that come with it that pin it in there. So I made sure it was really pinned in there. The next person has to check the hub oil which might be me. We'll have a hard time getting that off. It's not going to come off on its own. And I also have to get more lug nut covers. I think that's my last spare. Waiting for tomorrow. I got my one delivery off today. There's one skid. And now I'm in Beverly, Massachusetts, which is Boston. And I have to deliver right there first thing in the morning. They were thinking of unloading me this evening. But there's one of our contacts has to be here when we get it unloaded. We want to make sure that this stuff gets to the right place. It's a huge big place. And we want to make sure that because my appointment is for tomorrow 8am. I was trying to see if I could get unloaded a little early today and then head on down the road to my next delivery. No, I got to wait for my delivery appointment. This is one of those deliveries that you can't be early. Definitely can't be late. So I guess sit right here. They gave me permission just to park right here and wait till morning. 7.30. I'll run in there and track someone down. And I bet you anything by 8 o'clock when it's my appointment time at 8 o'clock. I bet you by then I'll be on my way up to Maine. That means I'll be able to get Maine delivered tomorrow and probably get reloaded Friday sometime. Then I won't be stuck somewhere over the weekend. We'll see. I don't have a reload scheduled on me yet. They may have some plans for me, but probably waiting to see when I get unloaded because they don't want to commit to anything and then have me suddenly hit some kind of big delay or snag and then have that load fall through. It's been fun pulling around the Conestoga. The roll type is washed it yesterday, so pretty clean. It's definitely not brand new. If I ever buy my own trailer and I want to, it's just it may not be practical because we do so many drop-in hooks and I haul so much different kinds of freight that it might just not make sense for me to have my own trailer like this. But if I ever do get my own trailer, it's going to be a tri-axle like this with two lift axles. The rear and the front will be lift so that I can run it just on one axle when I'm empty. Save those tires and save fuel. Also, if I'm running empty on toll roads, you get charged for the tires that are on the ground. So if I can lift up two axles, that's two axles I don't have to pay for on the toll roads because they're lifted. So I want to have lift axles, tri-axles. I can put them all down if I have something heavy and I'd probably get a roll tight, something like this. The same color even. I like the color obviously. It matches my truck nicely. We'll see. I might get a step deck too, I don't know. That's not on the plans at all. That's not even in the book of plans because like I said, I don't think it would make sense for me to have my own trailer when I'm constantly doing drop-in hooks all the time and I'm not going to let anybody else pull my trailer. If I own my trailer, that is going to be my trailer and it will not come uncoupled from this truck except when I put my truck in my shop. I grease my fifth wheel. But maybe one day, maybe I'll work something out. I'd love to pull my whole new to keep the whole thing polished, truck and trailer. Polished lots of lights. Like you remember Moses' trailer? He had a Conestoga too. He had a roll tight black tarps and he was in the videos like two weeks ago, right? Two or three weeks ago. His trailer. I want a nicer one than that. I want to be able to pull up to him and outdo him because he blew me out of the water. His truck was clean. It looked great. He had that little lowering kit on it. He had the clean trailer, all the chicken lights. One day. One day I'll be able to purpose item and at least be on equal level, right? Right now, yeah, I got a W900. It's pretty. It's mine. I like it. But it's definitely not the nicest-looking truck on the road. But don't tell the little blue I said that. It's sleeping right now. Can't hear me. We'll get it there one day. We'll get it there. One day it'll be the nicest truck on the road. You'll see. Maybe. It's expensive to have it the nicest. Doing your truck up like that because it's still a working truck, right? It's never just going to be a show truck. It's always going to be a working truck. So it may not be the nicest truck you'll ever see. But it'll turn a few heads, right? It'll be like, hey, that's a nice truck. You know, that's the kind of reaction I'm trying to get from people one day. We'll see. And there's, of course, the party poopers that are like, well, you know, chrome and chicken lights don't make you money. I know that very well. I know that very well, believe me. They cost a lot of money. But they sure make you feel good and it's sure a lot of fun. And that's part of life. You want to enjoy what you do. You only live once. If you can pull it off, if I can pull off having a really nice truck, why not? If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, right? But that's the way I see it. I dream and then I try to make those dreams reality. I'll try really hard. And I've been successful so far, bringing dreams into reality. But I also have it in the front of my mind that if it doesn't work out, that's okay too. The number one priority is family and our home. Truck comes after all that. Family has to be taken care of. Home has to be secured, taken care of. And after that, I can go have some fun with my truck. But I also have to remember that family needs to go on vacations. Family needs... Well, as our kids grow up, it's going to get more and more expensive if they start playing hockey or other sports. There's that. So it's a balance, right? So I'm happy with whatever I get. As long as I've got my family, the rest is all bonus. I already got the truck. I've always wanted. So it's fine just the way it is. If that's the way it stays. Anyways, enough talking. I got to go to bed or get ready to go to bed, do some work here on the computer and twiddle my thumbs. I got to get busy twiddling my thumbs. I got lots to do. Lots of thumbs to twiddle. Wait until 8 a.m. tomorrow. Well, 7.30. I'm going to go in there at 7.30. I want to be early. I want to be out of here by 8. We'll see. We'll see. See what happens. I'll see you then though. So for today, you stay safe, you be safe, and you drive safe. I'll see you right here tomorrow. Don't forget to make sure you're subscribed to my channel. We make new videos every day. Tomorrow we'll be going up into Maine and after we deliver, if we have a reload, we'll figure it out from there. Maybe we'll be going back into Canada to reload. Maybe we'll find out and see what happens. The world of possibilities.
