I know You are broken without her She'll be back soon. Chevy. Have you seen mom? I've been looking all over You're not out there. She's not over here. She's not in the bedroom either. I've been looking for mom myself Have you seen her? These guys she want to get her hair. I'm here though. I'm fun. I'm cool Can we face time mom, please? This is Chevy. This is Frank Fertig von Steinbach Or just wiener This is diesel. Lord of all weasels He's a Lord. He owns land It's true in Scotland A whole square foot. Hey Hi. Hi. Yes, we already introduced you to Frank. This is our oldest guy He's a good boy He's really good. He's actually improved a lot over the last couple of years. Yeah, you're a tank man You're gonna live to be old oldest dirt, right? I thought you already say that was all this dirt. Yeah, you're gonna live to be older than dirt That doesn't make sense So I'm getting all my stuff ready right now to go to the truck to old blue We have that load that we picked up in Edson, Alberta last week. We're carrying on with it this week I got to get it down to Oskie Oskieola, Iowa And South Central Iowa down there, and then I think I have a reload up near Minneapolis to come back here. I Think that's the plan So I'm getting all my stuff ready. Let's go before we go though. We got to get all our microfibers That we washed over the weekend clean so that we can make sure to Keep old blue nice clean and shiny off we go. We got everything with us. I hope hope we didn't forget anything Picked up a couple of letters from our P. O box and looking forward to opening those up in a bit We're gonna go hook up to our load and bring it on down to Iowa We're here, right diesel. Oh Shoot, I got to put the bedding on there yet I'd put a blanket down there for him for a lay on for now. Yeah, we got this load tied down It's pretty much the same kind of freight that we picked up in Alberta. It's a little difference on a different trailer And I'll give you a look at it here Minnesota I'm gonna need one of these rocker arms, right? We'll go around to the other side. So this is for my reload when the concrete sits on, right? And this is my lumber axle step deck ready to go. I See the trailer plate number Need to put that into my system To prove to the world and to all the gods that I have done my pre-trip All right, we got a new mount set up here first one in the W9 I was hesitant whether how many mounts I wanted to set up in here But I think given the nature of what I do on my channel. I should probably just Go with as many as are needed So I'm driving here People see me diesel If he's in the back you see him back there seems good, right? And now if I turn you guys around and second here check this out Nice view out the front, right? What do you think? Is it straight? You're a little off-center. I realize the center's over there but you see if I if I put you guys right dead in the center my GPS gets in the way and I'll stay there because that's out of my out of my way there So I can't have that anywhere else and now in the same now if I tilt you back you'll be able to see The roof here the CB usually goes in here. I want to put one here as well facing me So I guess I can show you how I set these up since uh, you know I usually only set them up once in a truck, right? And then I just have to replace them sometimes they break or they fall off very rarely do these GoPro mounts fall off though They're pretty good. So we're gonna turn you upside down right now one sec. Let me fix that for you There we go. Now you're upside down, but I'm right way up Or am I upside down and you're right way up one of us is upside down right now I'm pretty sure it's you because I'm hanging you from the roof here Okay, so if I put you right there, how does that look? How does that look right way over here like far forward as possible like out here maybe It might be good and you can sort of see everything else see diesel as well See what I'm doing here with the shifter then too Yeah, I think that would be good Okay, let's do that Let's try that out. Yeah I like it Okay, I gotta take the sticky thing off so I can stick it on there now behind the scenes with trucker drosh Okay, I'm gonna tilt you back there and we wanted it right about over here Facing directly at the driver's seat Right about there That'll be good. That'll be real good. Okay, so I got to take this little plastic or this little Red piece off. There you go reveal the stickiness and then Sort of just got a guesstimate Hopefully that's good You can always redo it if we have to okay A lot of pressure on for five seconds one two three four five Okay, and we should let it sit for 24 hours, but I never do All right, we got you upside down again Sneak unit out there now. Don't fall. Hold on. Okay. I just stuck you up there. You should be good. Hey, so I'm Cruising along here. What do you guys think? I can see the screen off to the side here I can see what you're seeing so this won't be a camera that'll like show diesel in his seat here But it'll show him if he's in the back there. Hey diesel. Come check this out. Let me know if it's good. Come here Come on diesel you're a big part of this channel He's very busy looking out the window right now All kinds of stuff moving around there. Okay, so I'm like sitting here shifting shifting beers driving. I think that's pretty good angle I like it Very nice back down there. Yeah, then you can see diesel That'll be a Little off-center you're seeing more of diesel than you're seeing of me I guess it's too late. There we go That's okay. You guys want to see diesel anyway. You guys don't want to see me. Look the camera's right here. Look That's a good thumbnail right there. Huh? Maybe maybe we'll see You guys seem to like it when I put my truck in the thumbnails every time I put my truck in the thumbnails I get more views But if I put diesel in the thumbnails, maybe it'll be even more views See that's the brain of a youtuber thinking right there I get those views. Okay I think we got everything This is my head strap that I usually use since we're on a behind the scenes uh Kick right now. Usually I would take my hat off and back there behind you and then uh Wear it like this see And then you guys will be stuck right here looking at what I'm looking at There we go On the way to Iowa Southern Iowa see what the iowanians are up to the iowers The iowars The iowites We just stopped by here santa gath the flying j So good so good All right next stop America we have 1160 kilometers to go probably around 1200 miles. I think this guy get in here first Oh that bumper bud. I'll do something about that bumper man That looks terrible. He probably hit a deer or something with it Man that would drive me nuts. I'd have to replace that immediately immediately the first flying j we passed by And it's uh cheaper than buying fuel up here in canada attacks and everything. I really don't know if it's that much cheaper But we knew it anyways in summertime. I buy a lot of fuel Careful to buy my fuel in canada as much as possible. It's got a little bit of a different uh Winter mixture up here. That's a little bit better for the cold weather that we have here All right, are people not gonna move over Come on people. I would like to enter the highway. I have lord diesel with me. Excuse me diesel Diesel giving those dirty over for us. I don't think they know it's you You know who this is Lord diesel demands entry We'll go north dakota Blue beacon Streak and beacon. It's actually the first time i'm taking this thing to the streak and beacon We're gonna be regular customers. I'm pretty sure Oh Karen quiet Busy gonna truck wash very important ourselves in here. So this is the Petro it's petro travel center in canada. It's not the same thing as petro paths This is a u.s company petro travel center I know some people uh in my comments get them mixed up different business all together Both called petro Enter I will thank you Mosey our way on to the back over here. Oh, and there's nobody in the wash base Right on what's the time here nine oh eight. I wonder how long they're open They're they're not closing now are they? There won't be any weight anyway. That's good It just rained a little while ago here though. So i'm really hoping that uh I don't end up getting the truck all dirty right away again, but Whatever. I'll just try to go around the puddles I think i'm gonna be gonna be able to drive right in And they request that we don't film inside a blue beacon so I guess i'll have to see you on the other side. I'll show you how good of a job they did Which one should I go in? I'm gonna go in this one here. He's already waiting there for me All right first blue beacon bath For all blue. Hey, I just thought of that old blue was in the blue beacon. It just it fits meant to be We'll be visiting there and lots more in the future. Let me show you Oh, that's gonna be a thumbnail that has to be yep, that's gotta be the thumbnail Clean Nice That headache rack is even a whole lot cleaner. They got a lot of that gunk off of there Not bad not bad Everything was already polished. So they just had to get the dirt off for the most part I've got to put some bolson on tire butter on the rubber here yet, but Do that in the morning maybe So hopefully we don't run into uh Rain right away as it looks like there's kind of rain where we're going Ha ha ha ha Oh, well Oh, well At least she's clean right At least the bugs are off her up on the stacks up there I was finding it really tough in the shop to get them to shine up there again I mean, I hadn't tried any of my products on it yet or anything But uh, I was trying to get it off of my pressure washer and I just guess I didn't have the right Soaps and stuff. I wasn't kind of a rush I I knew I was gonna stop here at the blue beacon So I figure why spend hours washing the truck in the shop this morning if I'm gonna stop here anyways And you can have like eight guys do it in 10 minutes There you go So they put brightener on the truck and when they put brightener on the truck They covered up all the aluminum all the tanks and rims so that that doesn't hit that And after that they took those covers off And put polish on the aluminum and the tanks and the steps decent I think I would say Happy trucker Oh, he's going for a wash too You go mr. Cheeto man You go go for it. This might be a thumbnail. What do you think? Is this a better thumbnail? Let me know. I don't know yet. Which one I'm gonna use but I think this one might be the one All right, no more time to waste here though. We still got a little ways to go I want to go fuel up at the flying jay and Head on into minnesota Probably get close to uh, probably between sock center and st cloud or something somewhere in there sock center has a really nice chrome shop though All right, I'm coming at this flying jay from the other direction now because I took 32nd avenue over from the ta Or from the the petrol whatever it's called Now I can't get into the driveway where the pumps are so I'll have to go around and then come back in Should have just taken the interstate whatever I thought I was taking a shortcut It was a shortcut, but it made my life more difficult now Let's diesel out here three. No not three. What am I? What am I dreaming? 565 per us gallon That's very close to the prices we're paying in canada with all the conversions very close. It's still cheaper though I think we're paying about five dollars and 90 cents american per gallon Is this where I go in? No not here yet I thought this was an exit. Is it also an entrance? I guess it has to be I have to get in there What does this say? Does this doesn't just say exit does it? It says truck exit only and there's somebody coming But how am I supposed to get in there? Okay, I've got to go and look at the map now I didn't know that was an exit only All right, we got our juice. We're all filled up We averaged just under six miles per gallon on that last tank Last time we filled up was in davidson's the sketch one and we drove against wind all the way home And then we had a pretty light drive all the way down here to fargo with no wind or resistance So with the the weather being a lot calmer today and no direct wind i'm driving into I am expecting to get good or better fuel economy on this tank than I did on my last It was pretty brutal Fighting that wind last week I think I averaged about five miles per gallon and I was doing 62 miles an hour or 100 kilometers an hour all the way back Great trip back from alberta fuel wise But what can you do? I mean when the wind is blowing you still got to go trucking Can't shut down just because the wind's blowing the wrong direction So we'll see how far I get tonight yet. You can see there. I have six hours and 20 minutes available to me to drive And it really looks like we're driving into rain Just wash the truck, but that's okay. It's okay It's still better than driving a dirty truck, right? We'll just wash it again The way the skies looked I could have looked at the forecast, but the way the skies looked It looked like it wasn't going to be raining, but maybe I should have checked the forecast But would I Would I have changed my mind? I might have washed it on the way home then. I don't know You never know live and learn, you know If you don't wash the truck just because you're scared of the weather that's ahead well You're never going to have a clean truck We travel all over and you're always going to run into weather. So eventually you just got to wash it Hope for the best We're going to cross into minnesota here right away So that the town of fargo will turn into the town of moorhead in the next state same town different state Probably go about another three or four hours yet That way I can get hopefully get unloaded tomorrow And uh get to my reload We'll see and then i'm planning on being back Well as soon as I can I guess I don't want to think too far ahead. I don't like making plans Once you make plans those plans go down the drain pretty quick every time Sock center minnesota last night I'm just gonna wrap this up now because I gotta start tomorrow's video for you.
