 Am I in the pumps backwards or is he in the pumps backwards? It's me, isn't it? Usually the main pump would be on the driver's side, but at these pumps it doesn't say which direction to come in by Sometimes they say like Exit only enter only this one. I've seen people load like fueling this way and fueling that way I think it's okay We're in Pillager, Minnesota. That's not some big busy truck stop There's not very much going on here and these pumps I've talked to them here before it doesn't matter which direction you come from Works out better when I guess everybody comes from the same direction, but since there's not very much activity here There's never a lineup or anything. So Guess it'll work out for today Grabbing some fuel here, and then we're gonna head back up to Canora, Ontario grab another one of those loads Things must be a little slow right now Oh when this truck is dirty, I don't even want to show you it. Don't look I've hurt your eyes Okay took a little bit of time, but we got our orders for today We have an empty flat bed behind us like you saw just grab fuel here. So we're full of juice All paperwork is handed in in order We're going back to Canora. We're gonna load first thing in the morning come right back down here unload tomorrow evening Then I'm hoping to have a plan tomorrow evening so that I can get moving from here It was a long weekend. It was Remembrance Day or Veterans Day So I was working yesterday, but not a lot of other people were back at home in Canada. Anyways, that's it was a stat holiday So I guess that's why things were a little bit slower today Playing a little bit of catch-up. That's okay People are allowed to have holidays Everybody needs a break and it's good to take time to reflect on Remembrance Day as well I hope that's what everybody was doing on their day off to Canora tonight Probably sleeping that same spot that we slept in last night Too bad. I can't tell the future because if I would have known this I would have gone back yesterday already I would have been able to get loaded today But then again my load is only scheduled to get loaded tomorrow. So I probably would have had to wait anyways I don't know. I don't know. Like I said, it was a holiday. So everything sort of Gets messed up when there's a four-day week, right? Because everything's got to get squished into those four days that would usually Be spread out over five. I'm just glad I was able to work Because you know sometimes like on these stat holidays whether it be in the US or Canada and Everything shuts down and I can't deliver or pick up anywhere and sometimes I'm forced to shut down I don't get paid for that holiday. I Just have to wait until everybody who is getting paid to be at home that comes back to work Yeah, he's a real biker. Good. Good. This is the best spot to stop I'm sure there are other places to stop for coffee once we get into Canada, but No, or that I can think of with easy truck access. This will work Let the world know I am off duty. I am going To get coffee for myself That's gonna be great. Oh, I'm a little tired today. I haven't done much and I think that's why The busier the day the more energy I seem to have When I have Slow days like this. It's kind of like I feel like I'm I Don't know not getting anywhere not getting anything done We were hoping to have a different freight on the trailer today You know doesn't always work out. That's trucking, right? Got a whole load of motorcycle doors that I'm taking back up to canora. It's good thing. It's not that far. I mean, it's only 300 miles 500 kilometers, so it's it's not the furthest And it was my best option I'm putting up my thing wrong here Choose the wrong buttons. You got to line them up properly and I always mess that up Why is this one not what is going on? I just want a coffee. What's going on my jacket? It's like opposed to me going in there Okay, you know what enough I got enough buttons down. They won't fly up. I'm clothed. That's enough, right? That's enough put my shoes on to go outside You know what you know what where is it where is it? Hey, we're the bull snot hat today My two favorite hats my bull snot hat and my house hat. I alternate them day to day Speaking of we got to do another one of those giveaways real soon, right? Keep your eyes and ears open. We're gonna do a giveaway soon. I'm paying to leave I still haven't figured out if it's you know, the Canadian side Was making me pay to come home or if it's the American side making me pay to leave. It's probably the US I'm guessing the bridge is probably American owned, but Turn left on 2nd Avenue US 53 and then approaching destination 470 meters Only 530 in the afternoon Every year gets me All right, here. We got to pay our toll they raised their prices again. I think it's $21 now to cross or something They're still used. It's a very chaotic border crossing I'm thinking they're renovating it all but there's a lot of chaos going on here all the time Trains going through here people crossing got to get over the bridge the bridge is half under construction All right, I'll see you guys on the other side Not much light around here And I'll turn my lights on so that you can see a little bit out there Get out here. This is where I decided to park This is a rest area On the side of the road near Canaveral boat five minutes away from where I've got a load in the morning It's parking on both sides this side and that side The only problem with this is that a lot of guys they'll come in here Like that guy over there those two at the front and they'll block everybody in so Hopefully they're not staying here overnight. I wouldn't be surprised if they did They're blocking all of these trucks. Yeah, that's the driveway. That's the exit out there They may just be stopping there temporarily to check the tires or something Hopefully they're not planning on staying there overnight and you can see it's sort of parked off to one side blocking one truck in But we need that space to be able to get around the other truck that's blocking the driveway He's like parked in front of the driveway We're gonna take it super wide and we just barely get around there I've seen some trucks that have just barely gotten around there. I Gonna continue this video here in the morning so I can sort of show you this rest area It's a beautiful place. It's a nice place to stop It's usually gonna watch out for the other guys some of the other guys around here make sure they don't block you in but It is a beautiful place Kenora is an amazing place This is where all of the cottages cottages people who own cottages and Winnipeg and Manitoba They all have cottages out here for the most part in around Kenora or the Ontario border beautiful place I'll show you it here in the morning. I'm like sleeping right beside a big cliff on this side and Going up above me in Then a highway on that side over there where I can hear the traffic going by I can fall asleep to the hum of the tires So I'll talk to you first thing in the morning Sun's coming up It's time to get to work Open the gate. I was like, oh for sure today Whoa one second one second Who is this? I was in the middle of logging. It's been since you've seen Peter in my vlogs about 10 years Ten years from Montreal, but he's based on find him on tiktok. I follow him on tiktok. What's your tiktok? tiktok or no And YouTube as well right where do you do most of it a little bit? Okay, yeah, cuz I couldn't get into my old account. So I kind of try and start another one. It's like Oh, I don't want to do all the trucking. I'll leave a link somewhere. You'll find it Yeah, I was a nice surprise. He showed up Well, I was not expecting that well, I was not expecting that he's an old friend he was one of the very first people that When I started making videos way back in the day What was it like? 2014 No earlier than that 2011 2012 Peter was one of the first guys that I made friends with who also made videos online. He had a Channel based out. He was doing local trucking out in Montreal at the time And like you heard him say he got locked out of his channel or forgot his password or something at one point And he hasn't been able to get back in so he started a new one But it didn't take off as it was hard to get back into it on a new channel It would be hard to move everything over onto a different channel But he started making little short-form trucking videos on tick-tock if you guys are on that app a lot of you are a lot Of you aren't but if you are go and search for at gone trucking at gone trucking you'll see his stuff there.
