 G'day, I'm Steve from Melbourne Australia, and you're watching Track of Josh Vlogs on YouTube Ontario WA WA Wawa Ontario going here. We're gonna be in Toronto late tonight. So I don't know where we're gonna park I Might stay up north of Toronto, but then I got to go through Toronto during traffic tomorrow. So that's not a good idea What are you doing buddy? Do you not see me driving right? Okay? Okay? You're going to the bottom. Okay? That's cool. Whatever I got you. I was in the driveway, but I got you. We were both sort of in the driveway. I don't know Okay, so like I said, we're gonna go through Toronto late tonight and try and find some parking near Fergus, Ontario We're after unload my first drop tomorrow After midnight tonight. So wish me luck. It's not gonna be fun. Come on truck decide what gear you want. Come on So I bought this truck because it was at the right place at the right time and at the right price and from the right place And everything sort of just lined up for me to buy this truck, right? Oh, sorry. Yes, this is Karen This is Karen. She's my navigator. She likes to interrupt me a lot and be the center of attention Talks a lot very bossy Don't mind her to ignore her Oh, I'm gonna get comments now. You telling everyone to ignore a woman. So, uh, what was I saying now? What was I saying? Me in Toronto tonight. I Forgot what I was saying. It'd be a good day either way. I can feel it. I had a really good sleep. I Don't have a stop sign. I don't know what you're waiting for buddy. Which way do you want to go? Are you going straight? I guess I didn't have a stop sign either. What a weird intersection Why didn't I have a stop sign? I should have a stop sign. I Stopped anyway Absolutely Karen what a great idea I deliver our freight So we got one delivery tomorrow in Fergus, Ontario, and then we got a second delivery in Brampton, Ontario Continue on this road for two hundred and forty kilometers And I'm sure why not? We're gonna stop in Sault Ste. Marie for fuel and possibly a shower Probably a shower. Yeah, we'll have a shower. I was doing speed limit there. It blew past me on a double line Right before a hill could have been oncoming traffic Sue St. Marie also called Sue St. Marie across the river on the American side I believe that's in northern Michigan. Correct me if I'm wrong. I can't see the map right now So we're just in the Canadian side. We're gonna pull in at the Flying J here grab some fuels and DEF And a shower and then continue down the road. No walks for us today I was gonna walk around Sue St. Marie if I had time today But we're running a little bit of a tight schedule tonight. I'm already going to get to To the Toronto area I don't want to get there too much later than that because I have to unload this freight before noon tomorrow Everything so if I get there at midnight, I can only start unloading in so no walk today Good thing we went for a good long walk yesterday and we'll go for another one in Brampton tomorrow We'll take diesel for a walk around Brampton. That's always fun People always you know, you don't see a lot of dogs in Brampton So people always give you Interesting looks when you walk down the sidewalk with a dog at least in my experience that that's what's happened Brampton is a different place. Yeah, listen trains is going on here five That's northern Ontario for you. I get it. They want to push us towards cleaner energy, but man you got to make it Like realistic first make an electric truck realistic and affordable Then start raising the the gas prices so that people move on to electric, right? First don't jump the gun. You can't jump the gun. It just makes people like me mad Because you're you're taxing me and you're you're raising the prices of gas and I have no other option My prices sure Tesla's come out with an electric semi, but it's not ready It's not ready. Not even close to ready So why am I being punished For using a truck that I have no other choice. I have to use a diesel engine You know what I mean? I could totally understand if if Tesla's were affordable and Trendy fashionable and everybody was getting them and you could charge them anywhere And it was just as nice as diesel if not better and cheaper Oh, I could totally understand. Yeah tax diesel like crazy to force us on to something cleaner, right? Nope, that's not the way they want. They want their money. I want their money now. This yard is very bumpy Very bumpy. They won't throw it. Oh, look at this beautiful W9 Studio sleeper when I say my next truck is gonna be a W9 studio sleeper. Look at this cattle hauler right here Look at this truck right here. That is the truck. I want a different color than that But that's what it's gonna look like That is beautiful. That's a studio sleeper. I think I'm in love. Well, I went into shower and I came out to this This is not what I was hoping for. Oh We still got a long way to go and we're gonna be going through a snowstorm. Fantastic Just what we were hoping for a diesel. We were just talking. We're like, you know what? We haven't done in a while. We haven't driven through a snowstorm in a while. It's about time I'm also six years old I bought myself cotton candy All right, so we're gonna look at our weather map for today and see where the snow is. Ah, you see we should have taken Okay, we're over One second here We're like right in here see there's Sault Ste. Marie Sault Ste. Marie. So we're just on the north edge of the snow We should have taken taken the 11 because up here is the 11 right Hurst Timmins down to there. We would have missed most of the snow, but now we're gonna be in the snow all The way down into Toronto is even snowing in Toronto. Oh lovely snow for the rest of the day another 744 kilometers Okay, so we might not make it all the way there tonight. Yeah, it's just around the Great Lakes Fantastico Well, it's not gonna stop snowing by just sitting around here turn our lights on at least the brakes We're Canadians a little snow won't stop us Hope they don't close the roads Let's get going not going to be fun. Why is this guy right in the middle of the driveway? That's a great spot to park. That's a rather park too. I think he thought he was waiting for me But that was unnecessary. That's okay. Nice guy anyway, right? Just trying to be nice Okay, who's excited who's excited diesel. Are you excited? I'm naughty. I hate me. I'm not it really excited either We haven't driven through a lot of snowstorms this year yet. So This is Eastern Canada's Welcome welcome party for me right you guys plan this didn't you you heard always come into the East quick trigger the snow Come on little car go in front of me go in front of me. I'm waiting for you There you go You drive a Chevy so you can go first Bring it on it's not that bad here yet I'm sure you want to be in that lane bud because I left you plenty of room to get into this lane because we need to turn left here Realize it last second highway 17 East I Think that driver wanted to come down here, but he missed his turn You're not supposed to go straight. I don't think but that's a no-truck row All right, he's going for it I Saw him at Flying J. He drivers were getting mad at him because he was parked in front of the pumps for apparently 45 minutes with a very thick very thick Russian accent That's all I know He was in the store talking and visiting with people until someone came in and started yelling whose truck is this? Yeah, he's over there. He's making a turn you realized that he's on a no-truck route And now he's gonna try to turn around corn Trucker that guy's going left never mind never mind But he still did park in front of the pumps for 45 minutes. I don't know what he's doing over there That's okay Not that he parked in front of the pumps. That's never okay. Don't block the pumps There's a guy in front of me too and I was trying to fuel up He parked in front of the pumps for over half an hour to come on people with tons of parking spots But it's snowing out I don't want to have to walk across the parking lot to get my coffee and take my shower and have lunch and Visit with my 50 friends that we all just got together for a little get-together You know what I mean? They meet meet someone in the truck stop. They lose track of time That's okay No, it's not I don't know why I keep saying it's okay. Let's go Got a coffee anyways, and I got out of there. They didn't really hold me up that much They were just holding up other drivers and just bothers me when I see other drivers being held up by people like that Why I went and parked in a parking spot before I went in and had a shower you saw it you saw it I don't know why that's such a difficult concept to understand But I see that almost every day on both sides of the Canadian and US border almost every day This common sense is really not that common Kilometers slide right on Black Road Highway 17. What? No, we're not gonna go there Karen can't go that way. Can we? Oh, yeah, we do got to go that way. Oh, you know what you're talking about good for you But you guys know what I'm talking about right you guys who drive on the roads regularly You know those guys you see them almost every day to park in front of the pumps or park in the pump go inside Have supper have a shower So rude rude I'll tell you my little trick again to keep your windshield clear in the winter time when it's snowing Get a crack both your windows a little bit Karen every time I'm trying to tell a story. I'm gonna I Don't know what we're gonna do you don't want to know you don't want to know what I'm gonna do You say one more time yet Cal tell my story after you're done talking Come on get it out spit it out. I know you want to say something You want to ding at me? Okay. We can't park on these train tracks so to keep your windshield clean and free of Ice and stuff what I do is I crack both my windows You might have to wear a sweater and a toke for this because gonna get cold in your drug You have to cool down your truck turn your vents to the floor Heat heat your truck through the floor keep your window open a crack at all the heat that rises escapes out the windows But you still stay warm But you want the windshield to stay cold that way the snowflakes bounce off the windshield and they don't melt and stick to it Then you don't have that problem of snow on your windshield and your wipers getting all full ice and stuff Snow just bounces off, but you have to keep your windshield cold on the inside and outside sometimes that means you got a Get your whole truck interior pretty cold to cool it down. You might need to wear your jacket or something But that's better than having your your wipers Getting full of ice right It takes a little while for it to cool down to it doesn't always work It doesn't always work because if they put salt on the roads and the roads are wet and people are spraying up misty You know you have to use your wipers anyway, but there's a trick try to keep your windshield cold So the snow doesn't stick to it Looks like we might not have to deal with too much snow after all knock on wood So that cotton candy was delicious Just so you know I haven't had cotton candy since I was since I can't remember a long time ago It's just as good as I remember it. Oh, I love how it just melts in your mouth. Oh That was a treat Well lucky me we got stuck behind a convoy stuck behind a snow plow Lovely the snow actually stopped for a few hours I thought that it had passed by but as we're going south down. What is this 400? No down the 60 69 Highway 69 as we're going south towards Toronto We are experiencing more snow. I hope it doesn't get worse the further down we go Hopefully we're just going through a little blip right now Hopefully the snow plow gets out of our way soon They're supposed to pull over and let traffic by every few miles, but this guy hasn't been doing that So he has a few miles of vehicles back to up behind him. I Appreciate what he's doing Working long hours keeping our roads clear so we can travel safely, but at the same time, you know Need to let traffic by every now and then maybe to maybe a little every now and then what do you say? We've gotten a little further along here. We're in northern southern Ontario I was just told southern Ontario on the north shore I've never actually been through this town or I've no idea what town this is We didn't have to go through Toronto Karen found me a route that That allowed me to avoid Toronto. So thank God now look at this we got to go through small town, Ontario. Look at this Wash that window off for you a bit there Love to live in a little town like this This is actually a pretty big town to me. This is like a little this is a city already come on Yeah, I shouldn't say I'd love to live in a little town like this I love where I live, but if I had to live in a in here somewhere I'd want to pick a small town like this. Oh big church right there. What's that? Jubilee Presbyterian Every town's got several These old homes Wow I like small town Ontario. I really I just don't like Toronto at all or Mississauga or Hamilton No big cities. I don't like them Even London's a little too big Kitchener's a little big too. I don't know. I like small towns Nothing against you if you live in the big city Yeah, quite a bit of snow here I'm hoping that The place where I think I'm gonna park is gonna be open as a petro pass truck stop In Fergus, Ontario And that's where I would that's where I want to park So we're here in Fergus Turn right here Okay I'm using Google to guide me towards this petro pass. It's not really a truck stop. It's a card lock So I'm hoping that there's going to be room to park there It looked like there's gonna be a room I checked it out on Google Earth and Google Maps and it looks like there's room to park there I hope I'm not gonna get there and I'm gonna see some big big sign that's like brand new saying no truck parking overnight Come on. Technically. It's like after midnight. So technically it's not parking overnight. It's parking in the morning. Oh Looks like there's room here Your destination is on the right Any signs anywhere that say no overnight parking? I Don't see me. Do you see any what's this sign on this post? I'm parking right here I don't know if they'll tell me to move I don't think so the yard's already been cleared They tell me to move. I'll just tell them I'm delivering around the corner in the morning. I don't know But I'm going to bed so I want to end this vlog off on a positive note because it's winter time and people are feeling down and I'll leave on a leave this on a positive note. There's no mosquitoes We'll see you tomorrow
