 My name is Ethan Boudreau from that side of Nuban Rikki and you're watching Tucker Josh videos. Have a great day Truck is clean. There's two loads of utility trailers. We each have three enclosed utility trailers on us. Full day today Won't quite make it to the Canadian border It's too bad because we're hoping to make it home today, but that's trucking. It just didn't work out I'm gonna wait for that guy there because I'm too nice And I also don't want to our little convoy here, but it is his first trip though So I'm just sort of showing him where I stop, you know how the showers work at Flying Jay You know these different truck stops my little tips and tricks of how to do things a little quicker or a little better or The way I do it. I don't know if it's better, but when I do it after this he'll be ready to go on his own. I believe he's joining our Roll tight crew the interstate from here. That's why okay. It's gonna be a great day for trucking Son is shining Chrome is shining because I washed the truck Never fails, right? I looked at the forecast before I washed it this morning, and it said sunshine all the way home Thanks weatherman. At least we got all the bugs off the truck So what he was saying there. I'm in front of me there now. I've been leading the pack All week dirty so figure let him go out in front I want to follow for a little bit let him set the pace thing. I put the rain ex on the truck all of that should just Beat up and dry off the majority of the dirt's all off or most of 99% of it So I just wipe it down to the shop when we get home tomorrow Kind of disappointing though. Hey, you know that feeling after you With the whole nine yards to got the whole the whole shebang Truck all polished up Just to hit the rain for what two minutes trucking trucking trucking Can never just be a smooth day river falls, Wisconsin Need some go-go juice. You see with the rain ex like I was saying all the water just Beads up on it, right? Should dry off and just wipe it down when I get home Kind of disappointing but that's life Life is sometimes disappointing. We're all fueled up. I'm gonna need my wallet. Oh, I always forget my wallet Let's try this again Got my wallet. We grabbed our fuel here Just gonna wait for a half hour to be up and be on our way need a sweater as it was raining You think it'd be a little cooler out then Not so hot. It's just gotten more humid. I need that Got myself a headset today, which I've always liked blue parrots 450 X B450 XT They only had the camo one in stock. I bought it at the loves that we stopped at earlier I want to just plain black, but that's not bad It's so much easier Talk on the phone and safer because I was just using my My Bose headset right like these little guys. So the things that Brit bought me right for Christmas These are amazing quality for sound listening to music and has a little microphone on it And see so you can use it for phone calls, but it doesn't have very good noise cancellation So when I'm in the truck here, it picks up all the sound of the truck and when you're going down the highway This truck is a little noisy loud pipe save lives So it picks up everything around me and it's very hard to hear me So they're better just for audio and this is better for phone calls I'm just you know throw this over any time and be like So I'm a real trucker now CV radio and a Bluetooth headset This isn't the first one obviously that I've had you drive a truck a long time I've had many of these that's why I got a blue parrot. I've always had blue parrots Not that they're better. Maybe they are. I've never had any other brands So I just stuck with the brand that I knew and trusted those because my other one broke that's why I wasn't using my other one and Now now we should be set From here our half hour is now up. We have seven hours and 24 minutes available to us At least on my log ours will be very similar because we started our days within minutes of each other. I Should get us pretty far. I mean if I go on to Google Maps here And Let's say we want to get to Grand Forks I'll just type in grand force Force we got to hurry up Grand force from where I am right now That would be Both seven hours, so I think we'll make it It's probably we're gonna spend the night tonight and then from there It's just a short shoot-up into Canada tomorrow morning and we'll be back home at a very decent time Then I have some time off all blue is going to get some work done tire rotation a full service getting a Whole truck looked at you know That kind of stuff fun stuff Spending money spending money, but this is money that I had planned to spend so it's different than when I had to buy my Computer because that was money. I didn't plan on spending This is regular maintenance, so I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I like treating all blue She deserves it. She's been working hard Let's get going. I Think we should be able to make it to Grand Forks Ladies AC stopped working that experience in service Was what the problem is as soon as it happens in my dad They're gonna be able to fix anything. This rust area smells like sewage. It must have had a spill Wasn't me believe me It was me. I don't up to it be legendary North Dakota not a request. It's their state slogan. It's their state demand If you want to be in their state You must be legendary It's the only way to exist in North Dakota So Karen's trying to get us to go north up by 29. We're coming up to the intersection. We're 94 right now We're gonna go south one mile To the flying J. Did you guess it give yourself a pat on the back? Karen be quiet Talking to much more important people than you right now. I Shouldn't have said that shouldn't have said that. Oh, she's gonna she's gonna be mad This is where I'd usually go if we were going home and let Jerry know where we're going So flying J is just one mile south down I 29 here hours here I got enough to get there but for some reason his logbook is a little different than mine he used up more hours than I did today and We're not sure if he can get there on his hour Why risk it and plus I'm already starting to see bugs develop on my windshield And this is the time of day when the bugs start getting very active And if we drive an hour and 15 minutes to Grand Forks through into the night I know that my truck is going to be covered in bugs again, and I just washed it. I Did drive through the rain, but rain is okay. You can wipe it off bugs. They stick on there They're a little harder to get off Should be lots of parking when we get there That's another reason I wanted to stop now because it's 10 to 9 p.m Who would be parking here for both of us? 32nd Avenue South Westbound this way flying J. There it is Gasoline is three seventy seven nine. You're they're lying. It's not three seventy seven nine. It's three seventy eight Diesel fuel is priced at a whopping five dollars and ten cents per US gallon That's still pretty cheap compared to what we're paying in Canada, and it's extremely cheap I know compared to what they're paying in the UK and Europe and Australia They always remind me every time I complain about the gas prices. I Know you guys pay a lot more for your fuel, and I don't know why you guys put up with it I mean they can only charge what the look what you'll allow them to right? Found a spot here. I just finished a live video. I don't know if you guys saw it or not But it was me saying that I was sorry for not making it out to the truck show This trip stretched out a little longer than we thought it would It's nobody's fault really just Indiana was a little far to go and I Thought there would be enough time. I accepted the load. It's my fault I take full responsibility for not being able to make to make to the trucks up completely my fault. I accepted the load. I Thought it would be no problem. I thought we'd be home Probably in the afternoon today I'm running convoy with my with my father-in-law too, and I told him Yeah, we should be home around like noon on Saturday. It should be no problem. You know, I'll go home I'll shower. I'll polish up a little blue, and I'll be at the truck show for the afternoon. It'll be great It's gonna work out. It's gonna be awesome. We're gonna have fun And I I miscalculated a little bit Indiana Middlebury Indiana was a little further than I than I thought it was I guess and It's hard for me to adjust to the US hours of service I don't want to make excuses here But it's so hard to get places and get stuff done with such reduced working hours Like I'm used to Canadian hours of service. I can drive 13 hours a day in a 16 hour window No problem, but here in the US I've only got a 14 hour window to work and I can only drive 11 hours and to boot I can I have to stop for 10 hours before I can start my next day in Canada I only have to stop for eight so you only sleep and stop for eight hours And then you can drive for 13 within a 16 hour window And then you only have to stop for eight After that again as long as throughout the day you get another two hours off duty But you can put those anywhere throughout the day in half hour increments You only have stopped for eight hours at night though. So if I was on Canadian hours of service No doubt we would have been back. No problem probably back Friday Friday night would have been no problem I could have been at the truck show truck shows over now I could have been hooked up to a new load and off on the road on my next load already Right or just stopped for my eight hour night and then back at it in the morning But since we're in the US I have to follow us hours of service which are very restrictive It's hard to get places fast Because there's a lot of you know, you got to stop for your half hour break. That's mandatory You're gonna stop for 10 hours not just eight Well, there goes two and a half hours out of my day that I can't do anything with and then I can only drive for 11 So I already lost out on two and a half hours now I'm missing out on another two hours of drive time at the end of the day That's four and a half hours less Of driving That I can do or work that I can do throughout the day so Forgive me. I'm just venting here a little bit My fault. It's my fault Uh I've been doing this a long time I know the hours of service inside and out at the back of my hand backwards and forwards and twice on Tuesday I know how it works And I still miscalculated and I missed this Show and it's not I wanted to support them because it was a local fundraiser And it was important to me to support a local charity and local fundraisers You know a bunch of my friends from Keystone are gonna we're gonna be there. We're all gonna hang out It's gonna be great. We're all gonna go talk about trucks all day. It's gonna be awesome. So I was looking forward to that but you know Trucking happened and I couldn't make it and I didn't think That I had announced it on social media that I was gonna be there I didn't think that people would uh come out a little bit of a distance to hang out And see the truck show and maybe say hi to me and meet me because you guys see me in the vlogs all the time Sometimes I want to drive out and meet me when I say I'm gonna be somewhere make sense And a couple of people Uh drove up from minnesota and uh when I parked tonight I picked up my phone and I went through some of my messages and that was the first one that popped up And my heart just sank. I was like, oh No I didn't tell anybody that I'm not gonna be there and that plan's changed I feel so bad They were really cool about it though. They were so nice and uh, they said, you know, they explored steinback They went and uh, saw a canadian tire. They're from the u.s And it was their first trip into canada when saw canadian tire got some tim hortons and they made a day out of it It had fun. Anyways, uh, saw the truck show But uh, they uh, they didn't know I wasn't gonna be there and I just made a live Apologizing about that. I want to apologize again now. I am so sorry That uh, that I didn't tell you that plans have changed. We didn't know on it I didn't know that plans had changed until Yesterday evening, but I still could have posted something then. I'm not sure when you left minnesota if it was if it would have been too late or uh I hope the truck show was awesome. I heard that it was awesome But I am really sorry that I didn't say anything and uh We're gonna figure out a way where we can meet up They live in minnesota in an area that I drive through quite often So maybe uh, I can buy you guys supper sometime on my way down there Hopefully we can meet up. Yeah, I'm just here in the back of old blue Getting ready for bed tomorrow. I'll be home, which will be sunday And uh, I hope you guys have a great night. I had a really good week though I did miscalculate, uh the timing of getting back Uh, but I did have a really good week driving with my father-in-law Uh, he's a great guy And I had a lot of fun So with that all aside, I just want to say thanks for watching everybody and uh, I hope to see you back here tomorrow Don't forget to hit the like button if you do like my videos and uh, we'll See you all tomorrow
