 Hi, I'm Anthony. This is my dog Rosie. We're from Hayden, Alabama. You're watching Trucker Josh and his dog Weasel and TJ Good morning everybody we got to bring this steel up north So we're in a little town second it called Villisca, Iowa on Highway 71 US Highway 71 We're on this highway and in this middle of nowhere because I 29 is closed the entire interstate is closed So all traffic has to go around the back roads So we get to see some scenic little small towns that we would usually never see so I like it I'm excited, but we ended up stopping here And like I was telling you at the end of yesterday's vlog I was very lucky because I pulled in here with four minutes left I had no idea where to stop I was using trucker path, but trucker path didn't even register this as a truck stop If you're wondering what trucker path is it's an app try it out They don't sponsor me or anything but I like using the app because it shows you where all the truck stops are and where you can park and Very often drivers update it to whether or not there's spots there or not It also tells you if scales are open, you know when you go past it You you punch in whether it's open or not and the next drivers can see you know like oh five minutes ago Somebody said it was closed or oh just now somebody said it's open So you know whether or not you can make your decisions thereafter But anyways, I'm gonna get on the road here and hey, it is hot as you know what out there hot Whoo Let's go north America's too hot for us man. We got to go back to Canada. I'm melting It's not even summer yet as this coffee cup travel plaza That we've stopped at quite a few times. It's a little place structure here Little picnic tables. It's really really nice super nice drivers lounge up in the building over there They also have a coffee cup bark park just for weasels Just for you diesel and some jobs man to say they're allowed in there I guess it is technically made for them, isn't it? It's a bark park not a weasel park But we're gonna make it a weasel park today. Let's go check it out I've been doing a lot more idling than I'd like to but it's just so hot outside. You got to keep this cab cool We don't want to roast the weasel now. Do we let's go check it out. Go check it out. Come on Let's get on the grass. That pavement is probably really hot on your paws. Come on Come here, bud. Look at that. They even got a water pump over there Whoop close this back up again. There we go. I Know we're not gonna get much done because you're just gonna be sniffing everything We never really get much running done or anything done when we take diesels at the dog park Because there's so many smells of other dogs here. All he does is stand around and sniff everything They even supply you with poop bags. Look at that. Even though we bring our own everywhere One diesel run many new smells. He can't focus on anything but that Someone didn't clean up their dogs poop. They already provide you with poop bags people. Come on More there more there more there diesel leave it alone. I don't know why people don't pick it up Oh, no, there's another one coming. Maybe not. Oh, yeah, they're coming in here Okay diesel it's time for us to go Well, how is that buddy? How is that? We didn't stay out there too long. It's so hot out. It's like 34 degrees out there right now but South Dakota. Oh, I keep saying how Good these bugs are that are splatting on to my windshield. It means that summer is here. I Think we've passed the point of wow. This is nice. It reminds me that summer is coming to the point where it's just Okay, I can't see where I'm going Crazy the camera doesn't really pick it up much. I'm sure I'll check it out later, but It's insane. We're getting close to no. We're already in North Dakota. We're getting close to Fargo, North Dakota right now We are getting slammed by a wall of bugs the time is 10 after 10 at night Still got quite a bit of sunlight up there. We are getting closer to the Canadian border. The Canadian border is about three hours ahead of us And then from there This load is just being brought to our yard near Winnipeg Gonna drop it there tomorrow and on Sunday. We're leaving with a load of glass. That's already sitting there waiting for me tarped And we're taking that first drop is in Saskatoon I think I got a drop after that in Calgary and then we end off in Surrey, BC. I think And then from there we have a load Taking us right back to Minnesota So next week is all planned out for me. I like that. We're just going through some construction here It is that season the season of bugs and construction You guys see how many bugs are on that window? It's hard to tell now, right? Still not complaining them. It's still better than snow Well, we stopped here for fuel in Fargo, North Dakota, and We got the bugs mostly off Didn't spend too much time on it though. I Just want to get going. We're gonna try to make it up to Pembina, North Dakota, which is right at the border I don't think we'll even make it there very close anyway We'll see I might just stop in Grand Forks Spend the night there. I won't make it over the border tonight yet I don't want to stay in Fargo here either because that leaves a little bit too much to do tomorrow yet And I just bought a coffee. So I don't want to go to bed yet Still have two and a half hours available to me on my E-Log clock. And it's about 251 kilometers to Pembina from here. I Don't think I'm gonna quite make it We'll see I want to push it further yet. I'm not ready to go to bed yet What a long day, Diesel. What a long day Well, we made it to the rest area not quite at Pembina So we're half an hour from Pembina and the Canadian border as far as we could make it yesterday But our 10 hours are up now. So I'm gonna start tomorrow's vlog.
