 Morning everybody. Minnesota Just down the road from Shakopee Waiting for my 5 p.m. Pickup appointment. I might be able to get loaded earlier. I'm not sure yet All I can do is wait. It's not getting but it'll be like a last-minute thing if someone else doesn't show up or Something like that, you know, they have an opening. Maybe they're ahead of schedule I want to sneak another truck in and quickly get me to run over there. We'll see what happens other than that I guess I'm gonna get comfy back here. I'm all caught up in my videos for once I actually don't have anything to do. Maybe I'll detail the truck a little bit It needs it because I don't usually have time for that. So Clean things up a bit and watch some YouTube Maybe have a nap. Let's see what happens Traffic cone Josh coming at you. We got in early. We're able to convince them to Get us in at well. I got here about 12 30. It's 1 30 now. I'm loaded. I'm tied down I'm just gonna grab my paperwork and Head on back might even get back. We should get back to Winnipeg tonight yet. I hope so. Anyway, we'll see And off we go once again Weasel our way through the big city of Minneapolis just sort of Flip right through here on the west side Traffic's not too bad, which is good A load of shingles on my trailer Somebody is redoing their roof or building a new one or somebody's just ordering extra stock I don't know. I don't really care. It's on my trailer. And that's all I care about. I'm taking it to Winnipeg I'll deliver it tomorrow Mid-morning. I think they only start receiving at about 10 a.m. I'll get McCall though and find out the blue beacon In Fargo over there as well Fill up the tanks big shout out to David from Winkler He was parked right over there Grabbing a grain truck I watched my videos came to say hi to me Alexandria, Minnesota I went in for a shower. This is a good load to haul. It's not too heavy. I'm sitting at about 71 72,000 pounds They have a new entrance here This used to all be parking spots across here now they they took away your parking spots They made them paid parking spots the ones that remain and they put a driveway in here. I guess less confusing Kind of nice for me though, because I just drove right in They will park right there Got a load of shingles. It's been a good day. It's gonna be a good evening now Guess what's next? Guess what's next? The truck right beside me smells like sewer Like number two sewer beginning to think all that stuff down there is not mud on the tanks What in the world that's disgusting Sorry, I just put that picture in your mind Just uh, you know telling you how my day is going That's a vlog somebody made a mess on that truck. It looks like a brand-new Volvo too And this thing's just destroyed is the the quarter fenders gone on it And the tank is all just destroyed Right here smells like literal poop. How do you destroy a truck so fast? It's a brand-new Volvo Some people are very talented So I may have not sent in all the right paper There was two pages, but they looked identical in my defense almost at a quick glance Guess I was a little rushed to get out of there So I sent one page in they're looking for the second page. This is why they haven't cleared me yet So I sent in the second page That's embarrassing here. I am blaming everybody else Okay, so nothing got all the paperwork I have hopefully that'll be enough They'll be able to clear my load for the border and by the time we get there we can cross Let's get going again Got myself a coffee. Hey, how are you? Haven't had a coffee in a while. I haven't had one today yet. I don't think I had one yesterday either What is going on? Got myself some cookies though. That was a bad idea. I'm going out this way It's going to be nice to have that extra entrance actually because if you haven't been to this Pining to get in your first time left on 45th Street South and then take the entrance to the right and 280 meters No, Karen. We're going to blue beacon Streakin beacon. We've got a date feel good. Get the professionals to wash all this gross to get here We're getting a truck wash I'm gonna tell them Underneath all of this underneath everything you see here is polished aluminum. I want it to shine again I just want all this grime off whatever you got to do I just really hope we don't have to ask wash it off or anything. I want to protect that polish if possible I know it's still under there. I just got to bring it out again and have the right Stuff I have cold water to wash it with at my shop, right and you need hot water And they got the right soaps and chemicals here They'll be able to do something for me. I'm not gonna leave until they do I'm not quite sure which door they want me in or which one's gonna be done first and there's no one behind me right now So I'm just gonna wait right here until they waved me towards a specific Bay And maybe I'll move forward a little bit. No, I mean business Which one do you want me in? It's in there first We're gonna come off the road now. Everybody's gonna want to wash everything off their trucks There's no one here. I've been so excited for a truck wash make sure that our trailer doesn't get the side there The best they could it's stuck on there. It is stuck on there It's not gonna be shining again until we get it redone and repolished That's so disappointing because that's my mistake That was my mistake the money was good They're asking me here if it was worth it. I said well for the money. It was worth it I guess but I'm gonna have to invest that money right back into repolishing the truck and I don't budget to polish the truck twice in a year So it's probably gonna have to wait until next year now, and I'm just gonna have to drive a truck that doesn't shine until then It bothers me because we're only like halfway through summer. So And the guy I know who does my does my polish He worked really hard and did a really good job polishing it and I just went and ruined it All good. Thank you. I'll show you in a second here. I'm just gonna pull out So show you what I did Okay, so truck itself is clean They tried everything on it stained It's clean cleaner though, right? But definitely not shining and look at all this damage From all the rocks you see all those The only way you can fix that is to get these cut and sanded This one too and look at these tanks. That is No kind of wash is gonna take that off The rest of the truck is clean though Look at it from this angle and it looks great But this side the steps look a little better here Definitely staying though these tanks Well Guys learned from me. Okay, learn from me if you value the polish on your truck Don't take your truck up north on the gravel roads. Do not do it. Look at this too See that all those marks So it needs more than just a polish it needs a cut and polish Is that the technical term for I don't polish trucks really is that what you call it sand it down Paul? It needs a Kate well, that's gonna happen next year. So Learned my lesson Learned from me. Don't do what I did. That is gonna be disappointing every time I look at that You know what I need to learn to do I need to learn to polish my own truck But when do I have time to do that when I'm at home? I can't spend a whole day in my shop polishing. I gotta go home and spend it with my family That's why I pay people to do it for me, right? Because to me my time is valuable That's why I pay others to do some work on my truck when I'm at home because I won't go home and spend time with my family We'll figure this out. We'll get it fixed. We'll get it fixed It's a disappointment, but hey, that's life. Sometimes there's disappointments in life You just gotta find a way forward and learn from your mistakes. I Had the hard lesson to learn here And it's gonna be expensive to fix Okay, let's get going Bucking myself in so I don't fall out Turn the lights on butter and gear Let's get out of here Expensive lessons with trucker Josh How to waste your money I'm good at that apparently Well, I can't say it's a waste of money because I didn't make good money It's just the the extra money that I made is now gonna go back into maybe I should Maybe I should just re-polish the truck. I didn't make good money going up there. Maybe I should just reinvest it right now Maybe I should spend the money, right? No, no, I promised myself That I'm not gonna spend any more big amounts of money and no more big purchases other than my one polish per year Until we have a house Yes, I like driving a shiny truck But my family needs a bigger home then we talk about maybe getting polished twice a year But hey if I can be patient the rest of this summer and winter will be a reminder every time I look at the truck Not to do that again polished, right? It didn't get cut or sanded. It's gonna be more expensive next year Let's say $1,500 this random number just thrown out there probably around $1,500 or more to get it done If I spend that money now that is $1,500 less that we have in our account for a down payment On our bigger house and we're planning on having more kids as soon as we can So I can't wait. It's a crisis lately, but they're astronomical through the roof They're pretty good in Manitoba compared to other places, but I want to do it right Priorities I have to put the family first Having a shiny truck is nice, but it doesn't make you money. It just makes you feel good. I'm sorry old blue I messed up. I Messed up. I'll make it right. Okay. We might just have to wait a little while, but I'll make it right State side for now We might get clearance yet in the next little bit chances are we'll probably just cross in the morning Oh blue is looking all right That's okay. The load is still all on my trailer every single last little bit of it. That's a good sign. I Need it all to come with me. It was a good day. It's a good day. We got quite a bit done. I Was hoping to get over the border yet. Maybe I will we'll see where we end up first thing tomorrow morning If the vlog starts at the other side of the border first thing tomorrow morning We got cleared and I was able to cross yet So I'm gonna stick around here for a little bit until I run out of hours And then I guess I'll just go to sleep if nothing's happened. We'll see you tomorrow Tomorrow we're gonna deliver those shingles in a Winnipeg and then head back to canora for another charp load of lumber going back down to Minnesota We're just gonna keep on going whatever they throw at me for the rest of the month and pretty much The rest of the summer aside from September long, we're just gonna be go go go go go I'm gonna be painting our house. Excuse me. We're gonna be painting our house on September long if the weather is good Which means hopefully we can get it done in one weekend. It's pretty small house We'll talk about that as the time comes closer Take care everybody stay safe and drive safe. See you tomorrow
