 Good morning everybody We are traveling down I 29 southbound between Grand Forks and Fargo right now. I think we're coming close here We're almost at Fargo On our way down to Franklin, Indiana low to lumber somebody down there wants some sticks Some Canadian sticks I Picked them up in Canora, Ontario. I Had to go around a little bit and cross at Pemba, North Dakota Just because I forgot my fuel cards at home this trip and I had to swing by there and pick them up It's pretty expensive paying for all your fuel up front First of all, you don't get as good of a rate as you do with a fleet card and second of all You burn through about a thousand dollars every couple of days And seeing as I'm probably gonna be gone for about a week and a half to two weeks that's Quite a bit of money Last month I burnt Just under seventy two hundred dollars of fuel seventy two hundred dollars Canadians. So for you Americans Probably about six thousand fifty five hundred to six thousand dollars of fuel one month It was the first month with our lovely carbon tax as well. So I I Believe Few hundred dollars of that did not need to be spent or did not need to be stolen from me. Let's say that I would have had oh, what was the math again? Three hundred four hundred dollars extra in my bank account right now if it wasn't for that and What do you know, I'm still burning the same amount of fuel still polluting just as much Just I have less money to feed my family now But that's not what this vlog is about this vlog is about our journey down to Indiana I'm gonna have to pull over here my wiper On the passenger side there. I know you can't really see it. It's not in the shot The rubber is slipping out of it. That's weird I've never had that happen before. I'm gonna pull over and fix that Can you see what I mean there? It's supposed to be there It's there and it's hanging over the edge over there And I gotta go slide it back I'm tired today Tired tired. I can really use a nap But this freight ain't gonna deliver itself Gotta keep going Maybe we'll have a nap a little later, but I've got to get a little further first I'm gonna take a nap. I want to use it as my half-hour break and that's got to be closer to the center of my day We just stopped at the rest area In Moorhead, Minnesota, which is Fargo, North Dakota We're now on Interstate 94 Eastbound, but I get as far as we can tonight yet I'm probably gonna stop for a nap later on. I don't know what I guess I didn't sleep that well last night Figured out I'm feeling all right Snow it just leave me. I'm ticked off so done with winter. I just want to pull over and just park I Wish I could man. I wish I could this just really upsets me also driving into a pretty strong wind It's coming out of the north northeast And hardly get any momentum going. It's such a strong wind. What a terrible day last very long It lasted from about Alexandria to Clearwater, Minnesota So we're now just going around Minneapolis here and the weather seems to be Co-operating a little more. It's still raining, but that's okay. I'll take the rain So the windshield wipers are for and I work indoors. So it doesn't bother me If summer would arrive already and just stick around if we could just stop the calendar End of June, maybe around the summer solstice That'd be great Just spent $775 on diesel fuel But we have an empty trailer we made it through all that storm The storm only lasts till about Minneapolis and after that it was fine Nothing to really worry about. It's just about maybe an hour or two Snow and now we're down here in Indiana in white land Indiana Surprise they didn't have to change the name of this town Anyway, I'm gonna end the vlog here. We did get down to our delivery. This is the next day I've got to start tomorrow's vlog for you and I hope you tune in for that But yeah, it's a good day and it's hot down here in Indiana and humid and I love it And I miss it so much. I miss coming down. So this isn't even the south yet I haven't crossed what are they called the Mason Dixon line the Dixie line Dixie line I haven't gone to the south in Almost two years it feels like Like in the truck. I miss it a lot. I'm gonna start nagging them a little bit for loads going down there We don't have a lot of contracts on flatbeds going down to the south our dry van divisions down in Georgia all the time I used to always be down there My dad still always goes down there And I'm sort of stuck up here Which is fine in the summertime, but oh Well, thanks for watching today. Everything went successful. Oh I was a bit of a rush, but We made it I'll see you tomorrow. Take care
