We're actually ready to put her in gear and Put the pedal to the floor as they say Today, we're mostly just gonna be traveling across North Dakota I'm an hour and a half from the border with North Dakota and Saskatchewan And then it's just gonna be cruising across the state and ending off in Fargo, North Dakota We're gonna unload there tomorrow morning. We've got this lumber on our trailer here behind us still And it's pretty heavy. I don't want it I'm gonna bring it over there and give it to them and then we're gonna go to Minnesota and Pick up our glass and hopefully start making it home tomorrow yet like on the way we won't get home But hopefully we'll make a good distance on the way home. I gotta sneak ones. Excuse me Whoa, Chevy you see that? Whoa I'm okay. I'm okay. That's all right. Yeah, okay. Okay. You're gonna come check on me. Okay. I'm okay Thank you. Thanks for checking on me Good boy Or are we? I don't know ma'am. I don't know. It's so flat. It's all open. I know, right? Okay, okay watch where you put your paws. There you go. Such a good boy Such a good boy You ready to go now? Can we go now? I can't go with you on my lap like this. You're not a lap dog Well, you could be that's okay Okay, I need to go. I need to go. Good boy. Good boy Good way to start the morning Bear hugs from a Chevy bear right Let's get on the road So we drove 984 kilometers yesterday. We got another 898 to do today Let's Just getting my odometer tripometer set here I reset my tripometer every day so I know how far I drove and I also reset my fuel Data so that I can tell how much fuel I'm burning I'm gonna stop in my not North Dakota for some American fuel because it's cheaper a lot cheaper Lights on truck and gear Release the brakes And here we go. Stayed at this truck stall quite a few times actually just went in here for breakfast Pretty good breakfast. It's called the main track restaurant At a nice Denver omelette. I'm just thinking about it makes me want to go in for another one Well, we're at the flying Jane my not North Dakota I decided I'm gonna shower at the end of my day the flying Jane fargo instead that way I go to bed I'm all nice and clean Rather than just showering halfway through my day and then you know You get it. So I got subway here Subway for lunch to I love subway. Oh, it's like it's gonna be my favorite As you know, it's not the most unhealthy, I know it's not the most healthy But it's not the most unhealthy either. It's a decent option for fast food I think and they make it right in front of you mostly all fresh vegetables and stuff. I like it So I've been here way too long. I've been here an hour now I only wanted to take my half hour break here, but we did get all fueled up. We're ready to go We have another 461 kilometers Or what would that be six times four? 242 and for 250 300 miles or so Get done today a little less than that not 275 miles And then I already called the customer for tomorrow morning. We're gonna deliver this lumber. I showed you the lumber, right? I'll show you it again just in case you didn't watch yesterday's video But this doesn't give you a free pass to skip yesterday's video You should go back and watch that video too makes a lot more sense if you follow every day then you know why I am where I am and Then when I get home time it doesn't surprise you because you know the vlog will be home time So every time I'm at home people are always surprised. Oh, you're not in the truck today You're giving yourself away that you didn't watch yesterday's video Let's go take a look at this lobe This is simple load 10 lifts so I gotta be there for 8 a.m. Tomorrow they'll have this off of my trailer and 15 minutes So we're set you ready Chevy you ready to rock and roll We're gonna do some rolling. I don't know if we're gonna be doing any rockin today Not really in a rock kind of mood, but you never know The day is still young sort of actually It's five o'clock in the afternoon. I guess the day is Not that young Just feels like it's earlier because the Sun stays up so long. All right, let's get out of here Been here way too long again Not want my break to go this long Pull out of here without hitting anybody. That's the goal Dragging my trailer over someone's fender That'd be embarrassing Chevy stop sniffing my sandwich you already had your food buddy I Can't give you too much you're supposed to be losing weight just like me. That's what we lose in weight, too. I Don't know what happened to that You know my goal for this summer was to lose weight so far. I've gained weight. Mm-hmm. Yep It's a guy in the pump there in the first pump He was in that pump when I got here and I've been here over an hour He's had his truck parked in that fuel island for over an hour He was inside he went to the bathroom. I saw him go to subway sat down and ate He was waiting for a fax then a fax came through and he had to fax something back and wait for another response This was all while I was in there. I was watching him like a hawk just trying to you know signal to him with my eyes Like go and park your truck, buddy. You're parked in the pumps I was so close to just going right up to him and say okay Why is your truck in the pumps there's a lineup behind them trucks had to back up and go into a different line It's just so ignorant and he probably doesn't even realize it Probably doesn't even realize it. He was yapping on his phone the entire time In a foreign language, I think it was I think it was Punjabi East Indian languages blabbering blabbering blabbering I And he was talking so loud too you could just hear him talk it on his phone across the whole truck stop Yeah, you're one of you're one of those drivers leave your trucks in the aisle fuel islands for over an hour That's so rude and there was plenty of parking. You saw it. We just left the parking lot. You saw there's plenty of parking But you know, that's all I'll say about that. I Love coming out here to my not massive massive Air Force base here huge We have an Air Force base just north of here in Moose Jaws, Saskatchewan pretty much Couple a hundred miles north of here Sort of pales in comparison, but I wonder who built their Air Force base first. I know our Moose job base has been there for quite a while, but Prize that we don't have more of a military I'm really surprised you know everyone you ask most people when you talk about this in Canada like how we don't need a military Yes, we do everybody needs a military what's to stop people from invading us and The answer that I hate to hear the most is what I actually do hear the most When they say well, who's gonna invade us when we're right next door to America? I was like, yeah, that's true. That's very true No one's gonna invade us because that's a direct threat to the US the US will come in and take them out for us, but Isn't that a little bit shameful having to rely on Your neighbor's military to protect your own territory like isn't that a little bit shameful? But we've got a great military don't don't get me wrong. It's just really small What is there? There's only like 68,000 active personnel Correct me if I'm wrong. It's a few mil Canadian military people in my comment section. How many People active personnel that we actually have and you know, they're they're top of the line They have top of the line equipment and you know with technology. We're pretty comparable to the US the US obviously has a little bit more Advanced gadgets because they don't share everything with the world that they make Understandably so they have all this technology that we probably don't even know about which is pretty cool Once again, I'm glad they're the good guys But We have really good soldiers that are highly trained. They just there's just not a lot of them There's not nearly enough military in Canada to protect our three borders We I mean our three coastlines and our border with the US We don't have to protect ourselves from the US so we're lucky. We're geographically lucky But I don't know sometimes it makes me nervous like what? We can't protect ourselves You look at the US, huh? They're locked down. Nobody's invading this territory. Nobody anyone who dares Attack the homeland is going to be obliterated. They will be erased from history Their whole entire country will be turned to glass That's that's kind of nice to have that comfort like when I'm in the US here. I feel safe Or if there was a war, you know Man, that's just me rambling about things. Sometimes I think of these things going down the road These things come up to my mind because I go back and forth between countries a lot, right? And you go to the US you see military convoys all the time. There's military everywhere Lots of it everywhere. It's not in like a threatening way, but a lot of military. It makes me feel good. I Just wish we had a little bit bigger of a budget a little bit more in Canada like I wish we wouldn't Be so is the word naive correct that we wouldn't be so Trusting that no one is ever going to attack you never know You never know we have a lot of natural resources and a lot of stuff that I see firsthand every day doing this job we got a lot of Very rich resources is a lot of money in our in our ground not just in oil but in gold silver precious minerals diamonds We also control the northwest passage. That's Canadian territory And as that's becoming more of a shipping route, we're gonna have to have a navy that can properly patrol that Otherwise the US is just going to come in And take control of it and what are we going to do, right? Once again, I'm glad that the good guys but still we should be able to take care of our own business I don't know. What do you think? What do you think? Well, we're just coming up to the interstate here Finally gonna get some four lane highway back that's gonna be nice Not that traffic is really bad here in North Dakota or anything But Interstates are always nice, you know, no stop lights no small towns to slow down for just go Here it is right here by this water tower So we're gonna turn on to I-94 eastbound and then we have another 150 kilometers or about another Uh 90 miles or so And we'll be in Fargo this is 96 miles to Fargo on that sign there. That's pretty close. I was just guessing My gps talks in metrics, so I always sort of got a guess what how many miles it is There's the interstate Get ourselves around this corner here my truck needs a truck wash so badly Haven't had time it's just been go go go go That'll be nice. I guess we'll get to uh Fargo around what knife here just before 10 o'clock Which is perfect because I want to deliver this freight at 8 a.m. Tomorrow, so that's 10 hours It's exactly the time I need To reset my logs for a new day In the u.s. They make you stop for 10 consecutive hours before you can start another 14 hour day And within those 14 hours you can only drive 11 of them And be on duty for 12 of them So you can have an extra on duty not driving time So if you're like loading freight or unloading Stuff like that in Canada is a little different You only have to stop for eight consecutive hours and that will begin a new 16 hour day But you still need to have at least 10 hours off In a 24 hour period so from midnight to midnight on your Home terminal time. So if you stop for eight consecutive hours, you're going to have to get two hours off duty or in the sleeper berth Throughout your day throughout your 16 hour day So You can split that up into half hour segments if you want so you could stop for eight consecutive hours and then throughout your day stop for four 30 minute breaks and then you have your 10 hours off But you can't stop for 15 minutes. You have to stop for at least 30 or it doesn't count towards your 10 A little different or you can just stop for the full 10 consecutive hours all at once And then you don't have to stop for any breaks legally throughout the day You do have to stop and check your load check your tires and stuff obviously they want to see that But there's no like mandatory half hour break like in the u.s But in Canada within your 16 hour day you can drive 13 of those hours and you can be on duty for 14 of them So That's the way that it's a little difficult to explain the hours of service That's a whole video all in itself It's very rare that I enter Fargo from this direction Usually i'm going from minnesota out west not very often coming From western canada this way Didn't even recognize the town I was coming into here We're just around the corner from the flying jay and try to find myself a parking spot there grab a shower Cozy on in for the night get some of these bugs off the windshield That is a huge. What is that? Is that a hospital or is that a casino? That's a hospital ambulance. Okay Sort of looks like a casino I guess a casino would have a few more extra neon lights on it. I guess you never know some casinos are actually pretty What would you call it bland or pretty incognito you wouldn't expect it to be a casino See you heard her we're just about there. I'm actually pretty tired. I'm looking forward to this But my head hit that pillow pretty hard. I hope there's going to be parking here for us. It's not too late But then again, you know Summer daylight hours makes it feel like it's not so it is actually pretty late. It's 10 o'clock Thanks Parking parking. Yeah, there's lots of parking spots. Oh good. Good. Oh, yeah What we're doing man, you can't turn left from here. What else am I gonna do? I can't even go straight That's some beautiful colors in the sky there Wow, I love how these cameras they pick that that Low light up so well All right, where do we want to park? Where do we want to park? Okay, man. We're here. Thanks for your help. You can be quiet now Start on a park here. Are these reserved? Well, this guy's got a reefer. Oh, yeah, these are all reserved Tainted on the I don't want to park beside the reefer I think I might come back and The last guy's got a reefer too and there's a pickup parked in that parking spot. That's rude That's rude That guy's got a big screen TV in his truck That's cool This Volvo is sticking way out I'm gonna have to turn around if I want to back in on the right here because I'm not blind siding it into a spot There might be a spot right here. Nope. Nope bobtail in there Bobtail come on guys I saw lots of spots from the road. So I know that there is there is places to park Seems a lot fuller now that I'm down here I see that spot. Where did I see that spot? I like to park in areas where it's easy to back into so that uh, if I do get a neighbor beside me That uh, I don't have to worry about other people hitting me This is gonna be my spot. We'll see if we can pick up the uh internet signal from back here No reefers no reefers. All right good We actually moved to a spot right near the building Which is a lot better for internet signal. Gotta get a couple of videos up on the internet for you tonight So I will see you right here In the morning two minutes for you 10 hours for me Oh Oh, that's good night at a good night Oh Sounds a long drive. I felt like a long drive Maybe just because it was uh a lot of two lane highways They always take a little longer than usual the interstates always makes things seem A lot faster because They are It's amazing how much time you save just by having no towns to slow down for no stop lights No real intersections all over passes, you know the interstate system is brilliant It was Dwight Eisenhower That built them right I was the president at the time. It was he the president when they got completed I don't know exactly. I know Eisenhower had something to do with him But I wish we had some of them rich heavy rich heavy Let's go deliver our freight.
