 Good morning, everybody. Sorry for the bugs on the windshield. It's a good sign. It means summer's here or it's on the way. Spring is here We're here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This is the cheapest diesel fuel I can find $3.64 US per US gallon. It's about $1.30 Canadian per liter with the conversions of today I'm gonna go in here grab some fuel fill her on up all the way up. I'm at about a quarter tanks right now So I'm expecting to buy about 500 liters. I Gotta make this quick because I got to get to my delivery No, no, no, no Karen. I need to buy some cheap juice first This truck stop is not my favorite to pull into Though they do usually have clean showers available unlike my not and Coffee is always available here. It's just the parking situation here isn't it's terrible But I guess you know it's hard to find perfection There's always something right? There's always something they also I don't think they sell DEF at the pumps here. No, they have to Let's see why they got DEF here Whatever Ignore that. What do I know? Let's grab some juice. Let's get out of here I'm gonna save myself almost a hundred bucks That fuel in here Okay, the numbers are in I actually bought 609 liters not 500 a little more than I thought 161 gallons US gallons Since I picked this up in Saskatchewan this whole trip I've filled up partially until now so this whole trip together I've burned 38.49 liters per hundred kilometers or 6.11 miles per US gallon Costed me about 60 cents per kilometer to drive this truck And this fuel up cost me seven hundred and ninety five dollars Canadian or five hundred and eighty five dollars US dollars Remember when it used to cost me like twelve thirteen hundred dollars to fill up a few months ago The price coming down to a dollar thirty per liter now or three sixty three per US gallon Dropped my fuel purchase now from 9 to 12 like four four five hundred dollars just one fill up. That's much cheaper. That's how much the fuel prices affect My business and the groceries on your shelf and everything else you have that comes on a truck That's that's how it affects it so quickly and that's why all the prices shoot up now that fuel prices are coming down Are we gonna see all the prices of everything come down to? I don't know I'm not in charge of that I'm not in charge of that It is what it is Let's I'm gonna get this lumber off and then I can go home Let's get back out there Okay, so the price here with all the conversions and everything was a dollar thirty Canadian per liter The fuel price up in Manitoba just over the border in St. Agath and also a flying J was a dollar sixty six So that's thirty six cents per liter cheaper down here with all the conversions said and done I bought 609 liters That means by fueling here. I Spent two hundred and nineteen dollars less Then I would have how I fueled Back home That's two hundred and nineteen dollars. I can go into my savings account or let's be honest That's two hundred and nineteen dollars. I'll go towards new tires very soon. Why is this beamer parked over here? Oh, it's his passenger vehicle parking only. Oh because they're allowed to that's why I see that's new That's new. Okay No problem there. Mr. Beamer. You're good. My bad You shouldn't judge people's wash I didn't know that's a new thing. I haven't seen those signs there before Used to park trucks up and down all the time Well, we got traffic coming from the left. We got action. It is so nice outside. It's twenty six degrees Celsius What is twenty six degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit? Twenty six degrees Celsius is equivalent to seventy eight point eight degrees Fahrenheit. That's a beautiful day That is my perfect temperature right there If I could pick one perfect temperature that I would want every single day Two hours ago, but thankfully still made it well So we're getting unloaded. I'm waiting to get unloaded. I got all my straps off now I just got to wait for them to come off my trailer sign the paperwork And I'm gonna head home It's a little bit of a longer dead head to get home from here and probably about eight hours driving 500 miles. That was my choice I want to be home for Mother's Day and this was the best option that I had I was given either the option of going home with this load and then being home Thursday Friday Saturday Friday Saturday Sunday three days, so that I'm home from Mother's Day or I could deliver this and come home empty I figured this way might be more profitable We'll see missing three days of potential revenue and In exchange or the other option would be one day of no revenue dead heading It's hard to tell sometimes right with fuel prices and everything, but this is what I chose anyways This is my choice So as soon as we're done here and start heading home I'm not gonna make it home tonight yet. There's no way It's three three thirty here now Eight hours. I'd be home like middle of the night We'll see I'll probably sleep in the truck get a good sleep and then get to the house early in the morning and I'll take over baby duty and Brit can sleep in let her sleep through the morning catch up a little bit and We'll go from there That's the plan right now. Anyways, we'll see we'll see if the plan changes or not I'll see you in a few minutes left on my clock when I parked It's quite empty here. Actually, I thought it would be a little bit Fuller. I don't know if you can hear it. There's an alarm going off over there. I Bet you that's gonna be going off all night Good thing. It's not too loud. I shouldn't be able to hear inside of my truck. I definitely wouldn't be able to have my I guess I could just put your plugs in too. I mean I Can sleep. I know I talk often about having a quiet night I go out of my way to find the most quiet spot, but I can still sleep if there's noise. It's not like I can't get sleep It's just if I have the option. Why not find a quieter spot? Why would I park beside a reefer trailer if I can go and park in a Parking spot that's quieter without one right beside me, right? But if I have to park beside him Doesn't bother me really the engine fan kicking on and off That's my least favorite neighbor to have when they have those loud that my truck has a loud engine fan I know how loud it is. So if I do have to idle it through a night I've said this before like in really cold parts of winter or whatever I click my engine fan to on so it stays on all night So at least then it's a steady sound and not constantly kicking on and off and on and off not enough Because that gets very annoying, especially if you're at high idle and you want to have your truck at high idle if you're parked You never want to leave your truck idling at low idle Always bring it up to about a thousand rpm If you leave it at low idle the oil from the bottom of your oil pan isn't properly getting up to the top of your motor to Lubricate the top of your motor need to get that idle up to protect your engine Anyways, that makes the engine fan kick on and makes it really loud and annoying, right? Well, if I have to park beside someone who's a little noisy, I do whatever and if it's really that bad I can put earplugs in I risk not hearing my alarm in the morning though Usually what I do that wake up halfway through the night and I take them out I've never slept through an alarm because of your plugs But I don't wear them that often either only when I have to Can you see can you guys hear that alarm going off back there? It's very faint I don't even know if this microphone is gonna pick it up or not It's like a car alarm like Wonder if someone tried to break into that business next door and the alarm's going off So we're gonna have cops all over here So fuel price here at Loves and Drayton is $3.98 per US gallon And that equals a dollar forty four Canadian per liter after all conversions. I topped off my tanks here again That's because it's still cheaper than what it is just over the border in Canada And I don't know which direction I'm gonna be heading next week Figure I'll just top them up now and call it a night All blues been doing good Really good She's getting some special attention next weekend though. I in in one week getting polished and head to toe Might even do the headache rack to the headache rack was part of the original plan And I still want to get it done But I'm gonna get my polisher guy to take a look at it and see how much work It's gonna be for him and what he wants to charge for it because it's So what we are getting done and we're getting done the wheels I'll do it to wheels the tanks the steps the front grille and stacks. I believe I Told him anything I can shine I want I want to shine and I want to take a look at this see this is This this could be polished to a mirror finish You can see yourself in there like a mirror and I want to get that done But I think he wants those lights taken out and those lights are riveted in for some reason Not screwed in so I want to replace them anyway So I might just wait till later in the year and polish this off in summertime Or maybe even next year and just like give it a good cleaning now But I want to replace all those lights up there with Lights that match the back here a clear lens So all of these match now. We'll see One thing at a time one thing at a time There's a lot of things at home that need my attention and need the attention of our bank account as well And that always comes first. So you got to make sure that's all taken care of So of course, I'm sad. I couldn't make it home today. The traffic in Minneapolis really held me up a lot That was bad. I'm filming this on a Friday. It's one of the first really warm Fridays of the season So everybody and their dog had their boats out and we're pulling them through I told you that before, right? Everybody's going to the lake. They're going camping. They're going to their cottage Everybody who has any place outside the city was on the highway Just plugged everything up from Minneapolis all the way past Clearwater almost to Sock Center. It was it was it was nuts So that really slowed me down and now I couldn't make it back home tonight But I would have been back home late anyways I just I could have stopped here and then gotten home earlier tomorrow Now I'm gonna get home Midday late morning to midday But at least I'm getting home right at least I'm getting home and I'll be home for mother's day So you're watching this after mother's day already.
