 Hello everyone, I'm trucker Al from Rochester, New York, and when I'm not driving I'm watching trucker Josh on TJV And you should too be safe out there Morning everybody. We're here near the full Saskatchewan we're on our way up to Fort McMurray. It's time to get going. I'm just gonna reset all my gauges here like my trepometer and stuff This guy Came parked right in front of me. I thought he's gonna back into me at first, but it turns out we're all good okay Everything's been done already pre-trip My lights are on it's time to get going. We have 1,021 kilometers to drive today yet across Saskatchewan and Alberta Here in Western Canada Got a load of steel behind me that I picked up in Evansville, Wisconsin Interesting wetlands up here Remember this last time I came up here It was obviously here, but maybe I came through here at night every other time I'm not too sure How long Till we get to Saskatchewan. I'd like to stop there for a shower Karen's been giving me a little bit of problems lately. I shut her down for the night, right my GPS When I turn her on in the morning, I've got to reset her a couple of times so that she'll uh Work for me. Otherwise she freezes Hoping that's just like a temporary issue or something. Just about time we get this windshield cleaned Saskatoon Saskatchewan Saskatchewan And wash this windshield At least we get to enjoy a clean windshield for a couple of hours Till the bugs come out later tonight In 100 meters, take a U-turn if possible and then turn right into 150 meters Oh, it's possible Karen. It's possible. Believe me anything's possible But first we're gonna grab fuel if you don't mind Let's see. I picked this fuel lane What number is this? I'm surprised I haven't added more pumps onto this thing already. This place is always pretty busy Flying jays is usually pretty quick to uh Add on and expand Let's see pump 18. I choose you Let's fuel her up Tell the world that I am fueling. I am also going to do a load check Okay Oh, why are we still idling? Throwing money into the atmosphere Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that's good. Oh, that felt good. Oh, right on. Okay. Hey diesel You ready to get some fuel? You ready buddy? I'm ready. I guess the go-go juice Uh, and then next time we'll fuel is in Fort McMurray, I guess or maybe on the way back The last time I fueled was in Grand Forks, North Dakota So we made it quite a waste. I got about a third of a tank left Look at this guy Look at this guy. I don't think he's got some issues in this truck I think your engine's about to go. I think you might want to take a look at that Change the vents to uh recirculate so don't suck And he's staying in the left lane too. He's not even Dude and hold that stinks. Oh, that stinks. Oh, it's getting in here. Anyway, man It's just smoky for like miles behind us from this guy Oh, there we go. Suddenly stopped smoking. Oh, he just let off the gas for a bit Well in that case I'm gonna air the cab out. What world is that all about? What do you guys think that is? I think it's probably his piston rings are shot and he's getting a whole bunch of blow by Could be something else. I don't know Either way that truck should get into the shop ASAP Ah shoot, I just realized there's a bug splat right in front of the camera there Sorry, you're probably staring at that the whole time. Oh, it's like they aim for it like They want to off themselves so They aim directly at my camera. Oh, this guy's turning off the road here. Okay, good I don't know where you're going buddy. Hopefully there's a shop down that road for you Yikes, it stinks. I still gotta air out the cab a bit more now that he's gone Shut up out of Chevy Just straight sort of behind Walmart in Lloydminster, Alberta Finally restocked my groceries I need to do that for like a month already So expensive when you don't have groceries in the truck To live off the food in either the restaurants or the truck stops Quite halfway done our day yet Got a long way to go Looks like about six hours Good thing I love driving so much I don't think I have a stop sign That stopped anyway just in case So we're getting up to that uh Wild wilderness I keep talking about again We're not quite there. We're just on the edge of it. Just on the edge of it We're headed straight north right now towards Fort McMurray. This is highway 55 This is the the massive boreal forest of Canada it's ginormous like I said if you uh If you get lost in these woods, there's a very good chance you'll die before you find civilization or find a way out of there Down here, maybe not. This is still pretty developed. We're just like I said just getting into it but uh If you were to go in the wrong direction, I mean the way we're going right now You keep going this way eventually you'll be on the Arctic tundra And there's nothing up there. There's a few towns on a few lakes of two towns But chances are you won't run into them because there's so much empty space The thing that's kind of cool about that is that uh You know land that if if you were to do that go on like a wildlife trek through the actual wild not down a hiking trail But down through the wild There's a very good chance that the land you'd walk on was Has never been walked on before Or at least hasn't been walked on and you know, maybe thousands of years It's how few people are up there. I don't know. I think about these things So neat to see I I hope that we never develop our north You know I'd love it to stay undeveloped. I'm not like a big tree hugger environmentalists The world's about to end global warming not but I am Conservative in that I want to conserve our natural habitat because I mean In the u.s. All the wildlife got pushed up here You know, if we develop all of this natural habitat, where are they going to go? They got nowhere else to go. What's going to happen to them? I'm gonna share it I'm sounding like a hippie, right? I know. I'm not a hippie I'm uh Does it even make sense like a right wing environmentalist? I don't know. I just love I love the wild up here in Canada. I love the wilderness Probably why I have a house out in the bush. That's that's where I feel at home It's hard to imagine sometimes when you're around like a big city like let's pick a big city Look Minneapolis, St. Paul. Let's try that one. Just random city for no reason It's hard to imagine when you are in the city in the heart of the city To imagine that it was once just like this Wild wilderness nobody around but lots of wildlife and stuff Now are you guys ever think of these things? I think the generations before me Uh, they really really We Wanted to expand and expand very quickly and develop everything And you know, they did a good job of it. They did a really good job of it But there's got to be a point where we say, all right, let's slow that down. Let's let's just coast You know and that goes to with everything with our housing market too Like what people keep saying, oh, we need to have constant growth to help the economy We need to have people coming in constantly. We need more people more people more people No No, we don't need more people We need to coast We need to just stay the same If not, maybe go down a little bit The global population definitely needs to go down but It's all these bubbles of you know, like Generations before me had a much easier time buying a house and I was forced it enough and managed Money right that we we ended up getting a nice property, but I want my kids to be able to have that same opportunity, right? The housing markets keep skyrocketing, you know, they're gonna need like three million dollars by the time they need to buy a house It's a beautiful morning again It's getting pretty chilly at night. I'm gonna just gonna go ahead and say it. It's getting pretty chilly I'd use my bunk heater two nights in a row now already So it's the next morning here and uh, we're just gonna Take you guys along to deliver this freight yet and we'll start tomorrow's video After that I'm hoping I'll have a reload by then So far still have no reload There you go Dizon I've had her get some fresh morning air, man No, this way we're gonna go this. Oh, you want to go to that pole over there? Okay Yeah, so uh We're just about an hour south of fort McMurray at this rest area This is uh, I figured it was safer to stop here than go all the way into town I didn't know if there's parking or not in town. We got here at 10 30 last night stopped here from my minimum eight hours And I'm guessing I'm gonna have to wait a little bit once I get there So I'll get my extra two hours while I'm waiting then I'm pretty sure But I want to be there early because uh, they want me there at 8 a.m. And I want to be there for 7 30 So I'll be there Well as soon as I can at least before 8 o'clock. I'd like to be there I know there's like three other drivers that are delivering some steel as well like, uh I've got my load here And I'd like to be the first driver there so that I can get unloaded first Because I'd really like to go and get my reload even though I don't know what it is yet I guess we'll see. What do you think diesel? Is it gonna be a good day? It's gonna be a fantastic day, man Take off the sleepies They're off into the great wilderness It's gonna be a great day, man Great day. Can you smell that? Can you smell that? Smells like a good day So the load isn't actually that heavy, but uh, no, we're not light either Got my tarps in the back there. I'm not sure what I'm going to be reloading it So, uh, might need those Ever now Listen to this, listen to this. It's a beautiful sound Diesel, listen to this That is what I live for That was beautiful, wasn't it? You beautiful young in your morning, man, I agree I know you do diesel. You love the road as much as I do Find something there No Let's go bud. Come on. I want to deliver this stuff It's weighing me down. I don't want it anymore Oh, here comes another one. One more, one more, one more Beautiful. Let's go make some songs ourselves Let's get these wheels turning So you're gonna have to excuse the bugs again Like every other day So yeah, I figured I'd continue this video the next day just a little bit for you guys just to uh Get to the delivery point at least I can mount you guys there. There you go Oh Pre-trip's done Everything's good to go I'm just letting my engine warm up a little bit because it's a little bit chilly That's kind of nice. I didn't have to idle my trucks through the night, you know If it's a little too hot then you need the air conditioning If it's a little too cold, well, then I have a bunk heater I don't have to idle the truck in winter Except when it gets really really cold But my next truck like I was telling you guys the the w900 that I would like Definitely definitely want to uh have a apu on it This truck didn't come with an apu and those things are like 12 000 dollars So, uh, it's a big chunk to bite off. I'll just make sure that it's on my new truck until then I'll just I'll just cope just deal with it Here is the staging area where I'm going to uh 600 meters through your destination will be on the right Perfect. So I'm supposed to give them a call from here and they're going to escort me into the site We're going to continue that on tomorrow's vlog for now We're just going to see if we can get in here and I've never actually been to this staging area I don't think I've got to go straight. Okay. No, I've got a red light here That's the staging area over there just off to the right But my light is red Got to get all dressed up my Sunday best You're gonna have to tune in tomorrow to see how this goes. There's uh At least two other drivers here delivering the same stuff. I am So I don't know if they're gonna lead us all in unload us all at the same time or one at a time I don't know yet, but again, you're gonna have to tune in tomorrow to find out It'll be a good day Nobody hasn't reloaded yet. So uh, at least I'm not the only one not knowing what's going on after this But uh, yeah I'll see you guys tomorrow. Don't forget to like share and subscribe You're not subscribed to my channel yet.
