 Morning everybody. Woke up here in Fort Francis, Ontario. We're just letting Chevy stretch his legs and we're gonna get on the road. Nice and crisp. Not too hot, not too cold. Or I should say not too cold. That's mostly what's most important. Mostly. It's not too cold. It's finally warming up. Spring is finally here, or at least it's on the way. I mean, it's like a little bit of winter lingering around behind me here, but we'll forgive Fort Francis for that. Because that sun up there is doing his job. So with three hours away from my delivery and brainered. I'm gonna wake myself up here. Gonna have some breakfast. Just letting Chevy do his thing out here. Don't eat anything. Remember that's the rule. Don't eat it. Good boy. Good. You're learning. See, you sniff. You don't eat. He wants to eat everything. Come on, chef. Come on, chef. I know it's a very fancy Walmart sign. I like it too. I like it too. Everything is so new for him. He doesn't get out of the house much. Or I should say he doesn't get out of town much. He does go to daycare and stuff and meets his friends and stuff. But it is a lot further from home than he's been in a long time. He wants to sniff and eat everything. You gotta wait till I open the doors. Remember last time you started to go up the steps and the door was still closed? Remember that? Just gonna take this off of you. Wait. Wait. First the door's gotta be open. You can't go in without the door open. Hold on. Hold on. I'm gonna move this over just a little bit. Line you up. Wait. Okay. There you go. Like a pro. Isn't that nice, Chevy? Isn't that a beautiful sound first thing in the morning? Yeah. It is. Quick stop just inside Minnesota. Why not quick stop? And why do I have the heat blasting in here? What in the world is going on? What in the world is going on here? Whoa, whoa, whoa. It is springtime. Calm down. Hot air blowing at me here. We're in Minnesota. Just cross the border. And we're gonna go down to Brainerd. Get this off my trailer and it is confirmed that I won't be getting my reload today. I'll be getting it tomorrow. So it frees up the day a little bit for me. It was gonna be pretty rushed to get there. I couldn't easily made it had there not been 10 trucks ahead of me at the shipper. But that's the way it is. I mean, what am I? What can I say about that? I showed up and there's 10 guys in front of me. They all had to get loaded. All had to tie down their loads and all had to tarp in front of me. And I'm sitting there just... We only made it to Fort Francis. I was gonna make it all the way down to Brainerd and get unloaded yesterday. That's the way it is. I mean, I didn't have to be unloaded yesterday. I just sort of wanted to get ahead of schedule. I like to get ahead of things, get unloaded early as possible. Here's what it is. So we'll do it all day and reload tomorrow. I'll probably be home tomorrow night then. A nice little quick trip just to ease ourselves back in. From what I hear at home, everything is going very well. Britt is finding her own routine with Theo. And he's being good. He's a perfect little guy. You can't get... I know every parent says that about their kids. They're like, it's perfect. No, this isn't real. This is verifiably fact. Verifiable fact. Theo is perfect. Perfect health. He's a good looking baby. Perfect weight. It took a long time to bring him into this world. So yeah, I'd say he's pretty perfect. I guess I gotta wait until he turns into a teenager to put the full stamp of perfect on him. Don't worry, Theo. You're watching this later in life in your teen now. Don't worry. I was nowhere near a perfect teenager. I... Man, ask me about it sometime. I'll tell you stories. I wanna tell you stories that you don't do the dumb things I did, okay? You can be better than that. You can learn from me so that you don't have to go through those same dumb moments that I went through. Right, Chevy? Exactly. Whether or not you choose to listen to your dad from the past, well, that's up to you. I mean, I get it. When I was a teenager, my parents would tell me something. I figured I knew everything. I knew the whole world. I had the whole world figured out. It's all about 25 to 26 when the brain is fully developed. The frontal... The frontal lobe isn't fully developed until you're about 26. That's when you truly... It seems to be right around that time when you truly discover, like, who you are. Up until then, it's certainly a big process of discovery, so... It's all about making mistakes and learning from them. And, hey, listen to my mistakes so you don't make those same ones, okay? You make your own mistakes. Don't copy me. So now, going down to that town I was talking about before called Lake Crystal. We're going to put two dump truck buckets, I believe, or dump... something about a dump truck on this trailer. And then the trailer is going to go up to Saskatoon. Another driver is going to take over for me in Manitoba, and then I'm going to go home. It's going to be good. I'm going to pick it up first thing tomorrow morning. I've got about a three-hour drive down there now. You ready to get going, Tre? You want to go to Lake Crystal? I thought it was Crystal Lake at first. Lake Crystal. That's going to be a good time, man. This is the moment you've been waiting for, okay? Hey, Chev. Is your turn to drive? You're right, Dad. I don't have thumbs. Nice. So I'm at the Expressway Truck Stop in Mankato, Minnesota. And this is where I'm going to call home tonight. What do you think, Chev? What do you think? I think it's a very nice parking spot, Dad. Right near the front. Like a bus. You're the best. Thank you. Now, I want to talk about this. I need to go home. Is that why you're complimenting me? You're trying to schmooze me? Trying to schmooze me, eh? Maybe. You're a good boy. You've been really good this trip, Chev. You've been very impressed. You've been handling things very well. You're a little skittish, alright? What? You're a little bit afraid of little things that you don't need to be afraid of, but all in all, I'm pretty proud of you, but you've handled it very well. Thanks, Dad. There's only room here for maybe five trucks. You've got Highway 169 right there. And you've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven trucks, maybe. And that's it. That's all for the day. Got nothing more for you. There's nothing more going on. We're parked right here. We're 20 kilometers or like 15 miles from my shipper. I'll go there first thing in the morning. They open up around eight, so I want to get there just before eight. Hopefully start loading at about 8.30, maybe before. Like I said, it's supposed to be these like dump truck dumps to them from what I understand. So they'll put them on the trailer. Obviously I guess I'll have to chain them down if it's what I think it is. I don't know. I'll tie it down. I'll secure it and just like that we'll be on our way back home. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm a little bit tired. Though my definition of tired has changed since having a newborn. The newborn's not with me here in the truck, obviously. I don't think it's legal to take a newborn with you on the truck, but he's at home with his mom. But you never quite know what you're all getting into when you have a kid until you have one. People try to warn you, right? But I'll tell you, it's the best experience ever. It's the best lack of sleep ever. You know, before I had a kid, if I wasn't if I didn't have my, you know, my six to eight hours, oh man, my whole day was shot. But now I get four hours at home and I'm good. It's a different kind of life that's for sure. All you parents out there know. I'm so excited to go back home. We'll be there tomorrow. So thanks for tagging along with me today and I'll see you right here tomorrow. Let's go pick up those dumps. Let's go home. Don't forget to subscribe. I won't start to tell you.
