 All right, this is Wartie for Scotland and you are watching Trucker Josh on TGV, Canada's favourite truck driver. Don't forget to subscribe and come along and enjoy the fun. Is Sean Road going to bring these things literally just down the road over here? Didn't quite make it yesterday before they closed or before they went home. They closed at six but their shipping guys go home at three I think and I got here at five thirty. So I had to wait here down the road. Very dusty lot. Head northeast towards Saskatchewan 21 South. That's what I plan on doing Karen. Saskatchewan 21 South. Saskatchewan 21 South. Down this road. Saskatchewan 21 South for eight kilometers. Eight kilometers, five miles, that way. On the service route then your destination will be on the right. I see it there. I see it. Very nice. Very nice. Hey bud, got your stuff. Got your stuff right here for you. Beautiful machines. Look at this. Your destination is on the right. It's a smaller yard than I was expecting. That's okay. It's big enough. Go in this side. Lots of room. It's way bigger on this side. Okay. Lots of room. Get out if they need to. There's the forklifts that'll unload me. I got room on either side to get to the freight. Let's do it. I really love coming to these small towns on the prairies. Maybe because I'm from the prairies and I can sort of relate to everybody and across the board, at least in the small towns. Everyone's always so friendly and so excited for the day. Maybe because it's sun shining and warm. Everyone's just soaking it all in the best they can. But everywhere you go people are so nice and just willing to help you. It's one good thing about the prairies. We have a really tight-knit community from Manitoba or Southern Manitoba all the way through to Alberta. Prairie people stick together, I guess. We get pushed around in other areas quite a bit, so at least we have that. We got each other. So what I do now is I go inside, show them my paperwork, let them know I'm here and ask them if this is a good spot for me to park. And if it is, I'll start taking my straps off. If not, I'll move to where they want me. Then I'll take my straps off and wait for them to come grab it off the trailer. You get a signature and we'll be done. Like I showed you earlier, there's not much left. Just two loaders and all of their accessories and parts are in these crates, so two front loaders and two crates. A lot of campers out, lots of people out on vacation. We're back in Rose Town. I didn't know this was actually going to happen. I'm on my way up to Meadow Lake and I come up to town here and I see a Timmy's over there. So, parking right here and Timmy's over there. So, going to Timmy's. I'm pulling into the lot over here and everything. I'm looking around and I see the dealership over there. I'm like, man, that place looks familiar. I was just here yesterday. I'm back. You remember, my sister's name is Rose, so it's her town. It's a very nice town, Rose. A very nice town you got going on here. I can't believe you haven't told me about it until I don't know how to find out on my own. So, I got this empty trailer. I don't know what this is on here. Look at this. There must have been a gash or something on my trailer. And they welded that on there and now it's okay. It's not my trailer, but I mean, I don't know if there is a gash. Can you see underneath here? Is there a gash? It doesn't look like it, eh? I don't know what that's doing here. Weird, but you can see that some people have dragged freight along here. Look at that. Obviously, when they're unloading it, they didn't want to lift it up or they weren't able to lift it up. So, they just pulled it off the trailer and it wrecks the aluminum. People, you've got to be careful. You've got to be careful. This is my trailer. I'd be really upset if someone did that to my trailer. So, you know, I'd be careful with other people's equipment. I'm going to pick up my load later this afternoon. They load until 10 p.m. out in Meadow Lake. So, they're waiting there for me. I need a coffee on the road. I'll take a little break here, a little breather and we'll be back at it. We'll get as far south as we can today yet. I'm hoping to get to that ground chamber line again. Then tomorrow we'll deliver the lumber into Mackenzie, North Dakota. And then head home empty. That was confirmed today. So, that's the plan. I'll be home for the weekend. And then it's Brits' birthday on Monday, the 25th. Cheers! Extra large today. Two cream, shot of espresso. But if I get a large, I get one cream shot of espresso. And if I'm feeling wild, I get an extra large of two cream in two shots of espresso. That's on special occasions only. Like the Queen's birthday. Let's get rolling. Everyone else here has been rolling out already. Okay, we need to go back over there, back north. Nice truck! Very nice, how much? That's one of the magnets. One of those borat magnets. We're leaving now too, eh bud? Are you going this way or are you going that way? I'm going that way. That was a busy street. Is this part of the driveway here? Why is it... Yeah, I think it is. I want to go that way. As Karen says. Finishing each other's sentences, are we now? That's scary. Why didn't you like that, Karen? Let's go. No, you wait your turn, buddy. You wait your turn. I don't make the rules, I just follow them. An hour through the school zone here. Alright. No problem. What's this building? That looks important. Town Central High School. Oh, it's a high school! It looks like City Hall. One second though, that noise we heard back there is making me very nervous. I don't want to leave town without checking out what it was. I'm going to park here. I want to make sure one of my tires didn't blow out or something. If I can't get it off my mind, it's not going to leave me alone until I go and double check everything. May as well check now, before we get out there on the highway. Oh, mark this down as a load check. Equipment check, whatever. Oh, it was my tire. We got a flat that I checked. Shoot! Shoot, shoot, shoot! Man, I just fixed a flat on that side. Now I got a flat on this side. Oh, there's a tire shop right down the road there, according to Google. So, I'm just going to limp it a couple blocks down here and go talk to them. Maybe it just needs a patch. Yay! Park right out here. Kind of convenient, eh? Hopefully they can help me out. Fixing it right out here in front of the building. Got to it right away, real quick. It looks like they'll be able to patch it, so hopefully anyways. I really don't want to buy a whole new tire. We just patched the other one on the other side. Eh. It is what it is. Look how dirty this truck has gotten already. Eek, that's embarrassing. Stop looking at my truck, it's dirty. Didn't take them long at all. Patched it up. All good to go again. Just got to go pay the good people. I'll be on my way. That was like less than an hour delay in my day. That turned out pretty good. Not bad. And we're back on the road. We only lost maybe an hour in our day today. Not bad, eh? That turned out really well. I got to remember that next time when I'm feeling like everything is going wrong and nothing's going right. That at least this time, you know, I got a flat tire, I heard it and realized it right away. And I was able to stop literally on the same road two blocks down and get it patched right away. They were slow when I got there. They had nothing to do. They were able to get me in immediately. Oh, and I'm back on the road. It was a huge, it wasn't a nail. It was a, it was like a pipe or a bar or something. Almost like a piece of rebar, but it was smooth. It was a big long one about the size of an, like it looked like a, it wasn't a nail. It served the purpose of a nail for this. Either way, fixed it cost $98.79 Canadian, $100. They're more expensive than KK Penner and Blumenort because KK Penner's patch job only cost me $73. It charged me 98 here. Sticks on your trailer, you tie them down. Haven't been here in probably a year or two because I did that city work for a bit. But we're back. These smokes mosquitoes. Holy mosquito. Yikes. It's insane here. I've never seen so many mosquitoes in my life. At one point, I'm pretty sure they picked me up off my feet and were carrying me away until I fought them off. Insane, insane. That's one way to get us to work fast. Tell you what. Okay, we're loaded up. I'll show you the load somewhere else. I'm not getting out of the truck again here. That's a life or death situation getting out. Those mosquitoes, they will suck you dry of all your blood. There's so many. It's insane. Have I said that yet? It's insane. Wow, Meadow Lake outside of the window. What a nightmare. I've never seen that many mosquitoes. That's a huge statement. My fellow Manitobans, think of the mosquitoes we deal with. Now, times that by about 353,000. The lake's level of mosquitoes. I'm lucky to get out alive. We have five hours, just under five hours left on my full day of driving. See how far that gets us. We have stop for fuel too. I got a quarter tank. I'm going to fuel up in Meadow Lake here. They have a Petro Pass truck stop. Or it's just a card lock. Grab some fuels that I'm just set for the day and I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to fuel up in the States. I changed my mind. It's only 300 kilometers or three hours drive to Saskatoon. And then they got the big Flying J Travel Plaza there. I'll fuel up there instead. Petro Pass right over there. But the only reason I don't like fueling at those places is that they don't always display the price. You don't know how much you paid until you get your bill. Like all my next month's reports. So it's very hard for me to keep track of my earnings and spendings if I don't know how much I'm spending. So I don't like that. A little Flying J. I got my rewards program there anyways that I like a little better. Maybe we'll take a shower there. Call my receiver. It says on Google that they're open till 10 p.m. But I got to call and confirm that because I'm going to be getting there probably around seven in the evening. And if I can't get unloaded tomorrow, that's a problem because tomorrow's Friday and they don't look like they're open on Saturday. Well, we got a bit of an issue. Issue. I gotta figure that out. I gotta pull over here somewhere and give them a call. Fantastic news when we made our phone call. Open for receiving tomorrow till 10 p.m. on Friday. When does that happen? When have you ever heard that happen? 10 p.m. That is so awesome. So we're going to get there around like seven o'clock or so tomorrow evening, get unloaded and then start making our way home. Probably get home Saturday, I'm guessing. I scheduled myself to go out Tuesday, I think. Monday, Britt and I got to go into the city. She's got to do her blood tests. Pregnancy test. Find out on Monday if the transfer took. We're here. David's in Saskatchewan. I'm going to try to show you the grill, the front of this truck in the morning. I'm going to try to remember. If I don't include it in this vlog, it'll be there tomorrow. You got to tune in and see that tomorrow because I'll show you what I mean when I say there are a lot of bugs on the prairies of Canada and when I see guys further down south talk about the bugs on the front of their truck, I chuckle a little bit. You'll understand why when you see it. Anyway, we're here in David's in Saskatchewan. The day's over. I'm going to have to rush tomorrow. I have an eight hour drive from here to Mackenzie North Dakota and I won't have much time to stop. I won't have much time at all. So we'll see what happens. Tune in tomorrow. It's going to be fun.
