 On the road, on our Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart tours, we don't get much entertainment. And what we do, we're watching Trucker Josh, you should too. Flatbed Trucking, Sam rides, tell them all about it Sam, tell them, they're on your road. Tell them, tell them Sam, tell them how it is. Greetings fellow citizens of the apocalypse. Are you still alive out there? It's getting crazy isn't it? I'm filming this on Tuesday, March 17th. My videos are usually close to a week behind. Maybe you'll get this sooner, maybe you'll get it later. I don't know. Trucking through the apocalypse. I'm healthy. My family's healthy. Britt stayed home from work today because she wasn't feeling well. But it's not the symptoms of COVID-19. It's other symptoms to do with other things. So it doesn't look like that's what it is. It looks like it's probably something just upset her stomach. But I'll keep a close eye on what's going on there. I'm still disinfecting my truck at least once a day, twice a day. I would think, first thing when I get up and sometimes twice a day and probably before I go to bed, it's probably three times a day. I'm going a little crazy. Trying not to panic. They've closed the borders of Canada. To all non-citizens, the only people who are allowed into the country now are Canadian citizens, permanent residents, Americans, and flight crews, diplomats, stuff like that. All Canadians abroad have been told to return home. It's time to come home. So they're on their way home now, or on their way's home. However, they will be screened before boarding the plane, obviously. And if they are symptomatic and if they have symptoms of the virus, they will not be allowed to return to Canada and they will have to seek treatment where they are. I believe that's what they're doing. I mean, these things change about every 10 to 30 minutes. So by the time you watch this, it's probably all completely changed because a week is a long time. We're looking at about eight weeks, hopefully for this whole thing to blow over. So that will bring us into two months. That will bring us into mid-May. And then we're probably going to be battling the tail end of it through the summer from the sounds of it. The virus doesn't seem to be thriving as well near the equator. And I've heard that it doesn't like sunlight much. It's not doing as well in Australia as it is up in the northern hemisphere where it's cold right now. But you know, there's still learning. Still learning by the time you watch this again, information may have changed and it might have morphed into something else. We hear that there's been cases of people being reinfected with coronavirus which means that it's been mutating and able to... Our body's built up an immunity to it and it mutates and it infects the people again. Let's hope that's not the case. Let's hope that was just an outlier. But for now, as of today, it's still business as usual for me. I've gotten a few messages here on the satellite for extra security and health measures they're taking at the office. I'm not allowed in the office anymore. Only essential personnel in the office and office staff are allowed in the office. There's a little room where I can go in to talk to them and we can talk through a window, but they're advising that we have our... We meet with the Lord Gods and the people who helped me out at the office there. Dispatchers and stuff that we meet outside. Best ventilation is outside. Hand sanitizer. I'm still somewhat stocked. I got half a thingy here. Can't find any more anywhere so I've ordered some off Amazon. It says it's going to take a month or three weeks to a month to get to me. Let's hope it's not going to take that long. I've also ordered some Facebook. Got another message. Oh, my new... Okay, new registrations have... Trucks registered for the new next year that had nothing to do with the virus. You have 10 hours and 46 minutes of remaining drive time. Thank you. I'm currently in Canada. Well, obviously, because I'm between Swan River and my next stop in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. I am already pretty much inside self-isolation. I can't talk. I can't English today. I'm pretty much self-quarantined in self-isolation. There's just me and Diesel in here. I meet literally less than five people a day and I keep my distance from them. I wash my hands and face regularly. I shower as often as I can get to a shower. At least my regular shower amount will be okay. I'm listening to the news, unfortunately. Trying to get independent news as well off YouTube so I can get other points of view so I'm not just hearing the mainstream media because I don't trust them really. But I don't want to blow them off either. I mean, there are a lot of experts and professionals out there giving advice. So welcome to today's vlog. It's already been five and a half minutes of me talking about this, but I want to assure you that as of today, Tuesday the 17th, I'm still doing well. I'm doing live streams with you guys on the channel so you've already seen me in the future and you'll know if I get sick already. If I do, I'm going to share it with you guys as well so that you guys can also know what to expect. I'm a young and healthy guy. I don't smoke. I've got healthy lungs. I would be fine. So I'm not expecting to get sick, but if I do, I'll take you along for the journey and you can see what it's like, I guess. I'll let you know if I get sick. But there's a good chance a lot of us might. We've got to make sure that we take care of our elderly, our seniors, and our older family members. They're the ones that are most at risk. If you have pregnant friends or pregnant family members, they're very at risk. Young children, obviously, but mostly the elderly by the sounds of it. And the biggest threat we have is that we're going to run out of hospital beds and run out of hospital equipment because for some reason, we're not going to get into this too deep right now, but for some reason, we've become almost completely reliant on China for our medical supplies and our medicine. Who in the world thought that that would be a good idea? Pandemic comes around. We're going to be in trouble. They're hogging all the stuff for their own people. Can you blame them? They're making it. Maybe we'll give it to their people first. That's what they're thinking. Without any medicine, our topic for another time, but that's what we're dealing with right now. That's our biggest threat. We want to contain the spread so that our hospitals don't become overwhelmed, so that if our older relatives do get sick, that the hospital beds are there for them, the ICU units are there for them, ventilators are there for them. I've been talking for too long already. I hope you guys are all healthy and safe. Let me know down below in the comments section. If you know anybody who has been confirmed with COVID-19, so if you feel like sharing it, if you don't feel like sharing it, I understand it's personal, but let's get going with the rest of today, shall we? Trucking through the apocalypse. This is the strangest-looking forklift I've ever seen in my life. It's like a 1950s tractor backwards that turned into a forklift. So he's just unloading me here real quick. I've got two pieces, they're being left here. And then from here, from here we had to swift current. I believe we'll be there tomorrow morning. But we'll be there tonight, but we'll probably deliver tomorrow morning. No, wait, we gotta go to Saskatoon first. We'll just ask the tune first, and then we go to Swift Current for tomorrow morning. And then we head into Alberta and B.C. Just rolling into Saskatoon here. There's one thing that's good about this whole thing going on right now, if you could call it that. There should be less traffic. So there's that. Small victories, right? So I gotta go around Saskatoon to the north side, close to the Flying J. Up on Idlewild Drive. Drop off two crates there. They're waiting for me. Oh, this road is bad. Wow! Wow! I guess we've got bigger things to worry about obviously. I'm gonna drop these two crates off. I'm gonna go and grab some fuel, some DEF. I'm trying to keep my tanks full and topped off just in case if things get really, really bad and I need to get home from wherever I am. Then I can just point the nose of my truck towards home and not stop till I get there. That's what it comes down to but I just gotta make sure I always have enough fuel in my tanks for that. Or if I get, you know, stuck somewhere. If they shut everything down and shut down provincial travel and stuff I may have to live in my truck for a while for a few weeks, right? And if they shut down fuel production well, I better make sure I have enough fuel in my tanks. You should be doing this anyways even without a virus outbreak. That's what I usually do. But I might have to live in here for a few weeks so we gotta make sure that we have enough fuel to keep ourselves warm and we can sort of get around. I don't think it'll come to that but you never know. I mean, as of right now before I started rolling again I checked the total cases in Canada. Now remember this is old by the time you're watching this maybe it'll show you how fast it spread or how fast it hasn't spread. Tuesday, March 17th the total cases across all of Canada was 407 confirmed cases. So, we'll see how many there are by the time you watch this. Maybe go Google it and leave it in the comments down below tell me what the what the total is now. Excuse me not the virus. I just ate some chocolate before and it makes my throat flummy. Absolutely. It's a good idea. That's going to take me to my customer. So far people are still buying stuff. So far I still got work to do. I haven't heard anything about anything shutting down but if you think about it we are where Italy was about two to three weeks ago right now. Now Italy like today Italy is at what was it 50,000 cases or something like that? So I mean we did get ahead of it and we 100 meters take the entrance to the right on Circle Drive West. You never know you know people always tell you to prepare for these things and you're like oh no no it'll never happen well it's 2020 we have modern medicine all of a sudden boom China's like surprise novel corona brand new your body has no idea what it is not like the flu where your body may have experienced before and built up some antibodies so if you come in contact with the germs you won't necessarily get sick you might be able to fight it off fight off the germs right but with this new virus if you come in contact with these germs you're getting sick that's just how it is too bad good luck body there's no cure there's no vaccine there's nothing as of when I'm filming this hope that by the time you watch this maybe there is some progress on that but and if you are a senior citizen you know that can be pretty scary continue on this road for six kilometers I think that's why it was freaking out because you know the common flu we all sort of have antibodies built up immune systems that are built up towards this because we've all been around it our whole lives but this this is something new you get just a couple of these germs inside your body you got it too bad you got it I hope your body can handle it that's why we're being extra safe right we're cleaning down surfaces we're reducing the germs around us reducing contact with other people so that we don't have to worry about this and hopefully they come up with a good vaccine sort of like a flu shot a corona shot that you can sort of take and it'll be a vaccine that'll give you immunity see what happens that's all that anyone's talking about today so it's hard to veer off on to other topics because it's just it doesn't matter what I listen to where I go who I'm talking to it's all the same thing it's all the same thing corona corona corona corona corona corona it's corona time it's all people are talking about we're gonna really social distance give ourselves some social distance from everybody and pay more attention to hygiene and hopefully I can find some more hand sanitizer soon so we're rolling towards swift current right now we're currently on highway 19 you want to call this a highway it's more of like a collection of multiple different pieces of asphalt arranged in a nice straight sort of straight line it's a Saskatchewan highway so you gotta be vigilant here I'm very glad I'm not driving down here at night because there are some massive potholes there's not any right now but man I had to do some serious maneuvers there before to save my tires and rims it's pretty crazy a little harder to see them at night sort of like the Titanic rolling towards the iceberg you know you don't want to hit one of them they'll sink the whole ship about two hours or so away from swift current it's been a pretty good day so far definitely gonna have to take my truck in to get the injectors looked at and it's time to get a a service it's time to get an overhead adjustment it's time to you know regular maintenance comes around it's that time any of you guys have tried Lucas injector cleaner in your engine before though it's magical it's magical what it does it really works and I'm not sponsored by them or anything I just want to tell you it really works my truck was running a little rough I was getting a little worried about it it's a little rough I know I gotta get this truck into the shop as soon as I get back but it's still running okay right smooth as silk just like brand new it's just running beautifully my fuel economy is up right away you notice the difference right away I've used it before maybe like months every couple of months or so recently I think I've put one in last month and now this month as well you notice the difference right away on that tank of fuel wonderful product so I'm going to be talking to Andy about that W-900 I'm not in a big rush I'm not going to come home with one tomorrow unless if he swings me a pretty sweet deal but it'll be give me at least a year I don't know maybe soon maybe I'll surprise you I don't know it's all up to Andy really and me see if we can work something out but you know either you have these monthly payments which are pretty big or you have monthly maintenance which is also pretty big the thing with a new truck is you have warranty and you have peace of mind and every mile on that truck is yours oh there's another one another one okay we missed them wow see they come out of nowhere look at those icebergs got a car coming up behind me now too I'm wondering what's this guy doing dodging potholes man oh he's going to nail these potholes off in the left uh oh oh you're poor sunfire just giving her just giving her that poor little thing yeah we'll see what happens I'll keep you posted I think this is my exit we're going for it look at this guy over here on the right on that service road he's driving without his lights on what a silly goose it's night time bud brake lights work at least so we're in swift current I got a deliverer down the road here in the morning but for now we're going to go to the Esso Husky here and try to find us a good quiet park and spot and edit us up a video because I haven't had any videos to release to you guys recently we're probably going to do a live chat and uh discuss more of this crazy virus stuff with you guys live hopefully I'll have a better signal here than I had last night because last night I had a terrible signal it was just awful but uh find us a parking spot and I have 12 hours until I have to deliver in the morning lots of time my truck is purring like a kitten she really liked the little treat I gave her today that was nice this little injector cleaner she really liked that well I just finished my live stream and I was told I am ruining the entire trucking industry I had no idea I was so important I had no idea I had that much power thank you really that important I can't really do that we got into talking about how crazy China is and what did I say I don't even know what I said what I got them mad but they can let me know in the comment section here if they want to I didn't block ya it must have continued later on yeah the world is crazy right now but we are thankful for family friends, thankful for health thankful for the world we live in though it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but we got to pray for the areas of the world that are struggling so let me know down below in the comment section how the virus is doing right now when you're watching this video if you're watching this a couple of years down the road it's probably all gone by now or we're all dead leave a comment down below let me know how the apocalypse went and I'll talk to you soon
