 Good morning everybody another new day is here. We're still in Bassano, Alberta same place. We went to sleep last night Thank God because I'd be Concerning if we woke up somewhere else Throwing the bed up here cleaning things up Getting ready for the day You know chef come on get up here. I'm gonna leave that down for you today. Okay? No. Hey, no no come up here, buddy Up here on this come on up up good boy So we got Chevy with us today if you missed yesterday's video, let's get ourselves on the road Chevy's back there enjoying one of his grain-free treats So different having him in the truck than diesel. He's they're such different dogs different personalities See if we can get ourselves on trans Canada here, and then we're we want to get through the mountains today We got a long way to go just under 1,100 kilometers So we're looking at 600 to 700 miles somewhere in there Everybody's turning I'm going okay here. I go Just finished going around Calgary on stony trail Just getting back on to the main number one trans Canada here Traffic is having trouble finding their accelerator pedal here Pretty sure they'll find it eventually there's there's only two maybe three pedals to pick from one of them Got to make them go faster. They'll figure it out So it started snowing just on the other side of Calgary. I'm really hoping that this weather isn't going to follow us into the mountains Really would like not to have a snowy mountain drive Guess we'll see this city is growing so fast every time I come through here. There's a new suburb being built It's a living Calgary. I don't blame them. It is a beautiful city It's very well built and put together because it's well thought out well planned Especially coming from like Winnipeg myself. I don't live in Winnipeg But I sort of grew up in the area there and Winnipeg is the capital city Winnipeg was not thought out or planned out at all and I know why I get there's been plenty of There was plenty of small towns that sort of merged together into one city But that was a long time ago even the new roads they built today make absolutely no sense They go way over budget They take twice or five times as long as they say it's going to take to build it And then they're garbage within six months to a year again But you come to Calgary and Alberta and everything is built right the first time Big freeway is easy access You know truck access to industrial areas so that we can get our freight into the city easier And so that shippers can ship out there freight easier in Winnipeg You don't even want to use a GPS because it will always lead you down the wrong road always It'll always take you through downtown for no reason Because nothing makes sense even to the GPS That's one thing I love about Calgary, and I think that's why it's growing so fast. It's just because They got smart people building it here Go up a few hills here. These are the foothills leading up to the Rocky Mountains as we're headed westbound really hope this snow is going to lay off and Stay in Alberta as we go into British Columbia I want to get some fuel here in Alberta before we go into BC because fuel prices and taxes are way higher In BC so no, thank you I'll fuel here in Alberta The weird thing about this petrol pass is that the DEF pump is like on the other side of the lot So you got to stop here at these these pumps Fuel up your truck with diesel fuel here And then you got to go like around here around the corner over there to the other side of the lot Where you stop at a different pump And you fuel up your DEF tank over there At least they have DEF right there. It's the only place I know of where I've got to like move my truck to the fuel Okay, I need a new like a Seat belt sucker upper thing the one that sucks the seat belt back in there Need a new one. You see that's where we fueled over there before right now. We moved up over here to where we fuel up our DEF One guy in front of me here interesting setup, eh Whatever works whatever works, I guess Mother nature, why do you hate me today? Did I ever do to you just coming up to the Rockies now? We're not even in them yet, so we have a chance to get through this yet I really hope it's not this bad all the way through into BC Doesn't really do it justice. It's snowing pretty good This is borderline snowstorm in my mind I don't know if we're gonna make it there tonight because we got to deliver stuff 7 a.m. Tomorrow morning Well mother nature is in charge of that and I bought these new wipers and they suck Worse than my old ones my old ones were all busted up These were supposed to be winter wipers specifically winter wipers nay nay no They're not They're liars. I got them at Walmart. There's my first mistake. I Love you Walmart, but you don't really know what you're doing when it comes to This kind of thing Okay, then there's snow on the road. I'm gonna take it off cruise You don't want to be driving on with your cruise control on and weather like this Especially with slush on the road Hopefully there's no Pile ups or something up ahead. We're gonna slow ourselves down. No just in case Hope and pray for the best knock on wood Alberta here run Banff National Park Should be in British Columbia within about a half hour or so maybe less And let's hope that this weather Holds up. You look at the top of the mountains up there ahead. It looks kind of Kind of sketchy up in the higher altitudes. So it might get a little worse for us Whatever bring it on. I got this Spring is just around the corner now Like it pop up any day now. Look at the snow. It's already all melting off the side of the road They're up the hill you could you might say the spring is here already By the time you're watching this I think spring is what March 21st Spring is right around the corner Feels so good What's this sign here on the right? One 23 kilometers that way. That's a weird exit sign. It's one of those ones that you can change All right, buddy, you could have left a little more space, but that was bare minimum He's got a little fork can on a civic there. You see that You can see those cars are up. I used to have one on my cavalier when I was a kid. I know I Know Trucker Josh was a loser Some would argue that he still is That's okay That's okay as long as I can entertain you at the same time. I'm happy with that Beautiful British Columbia That's their official slogan Just crossed into The western most province of southern Canada So this province goes right up to the Pacific Ocean on our west coast and it borders the state of Washington and Idaho To the south The most beautiful place on earth then again Yukon is just as beautiful There's just not as much going on up there. I've been up to Yukon Britain I went up there for New Year's a few years ago Which is amazing because they have 24-hour sunlight up there during the summer So on Canada Day in July July 1st They don't have any fireworks because they don't have any nighttime So what they do is they put double the budget into their New Year's fireworks Awesome fireworks show and we got to see this that was pretty cool That was in Whitehorse. No, not what yeah Whitehorse, right Yukon. I Always get Whitehorse and the capital of Northwest Territories mixed up. I Don't know. I'm not thinking straight right now We are at our first break check into BC. I am gonna pull in here not only to check my brakes, but also to well to Use that little hut Because that is our rest areas in Western Canada You know Ontario and Quebec they get all the money they get all the nice rest areas of big on-routes, right? This is our on-rout. Look at it. Isn't it cute? Look at this thing Just a hole in the ground no sink no plumbing and you wonder why we feel left out of everything out in the West down here All of our money Goes over there and they have all these nice things so first of all we want to put ourselves on duty and break check I'm also gonna flag this as a load check because I'm gonna check my load right away as well and what that does is uh It marks it on my logbook or on my log elog That I've stopped here and that I got out of my truck. I checked my brakes checked my load made sure everything was All right, they want you to check your load every two to three hours I believe or is it every three to four I check mine every two to three hours usually When I get loaded I drive a half hour down the road approximately I'll check my load tighten my straps and then two hour intervals from there. That's just my way of doing things Why are we idling I told myself that now that we got our bunk heater fixed no more idling at all I want to have the lowest percentage idle rate possible Because in January and February We burnt about a thousand dollars each month just idling to keep the truck and the inside of the cab warm through the nights Chevy, how you enjoying your trip so far? Yeah, I'm fun. Oh, yeah, give him a good sniff. Tell him how you feel. Tell him how you feel. I Actually love having Chevy along. I Do miss diesel though. I love having them along for different reasons diesel's getting old though And he really likes being at home And relaxing so you know, it's tough for me to leave him at home, but If that's what he wants, he'd rather stay at home for a few trips Spend some time with mom Why is this guy coming here Chevy? It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I know he's wearing a funny hat. I know It's called a turban. Don't be afraid. It's okay. Let's get back on the road here So we checked our brakes No wasting time. We need to get through the mountains At least the weather is agreeing with us now. That's a good thing Stopped here at the Husky in Golden Really feels like we're moving really slowly today. We still got a long way to go so about like 700 kilometers Little under 500 miles coffee and a muffin. I don't know why They make me happy I guess guys load a Wonder what happened if I put those tires on my pickup That'd be too much still got about three three and a half hours to go down to our destinations getting pretty late I'm getting pretty tired So we're gonna stop in here grab a coffee One more coffee today yet. Well, it's gonna go a little bit further Got four hours and 12 minutes available to me on my clock legally Chevy Chevy what you what's you eating there, buddy? What's you eating? Are you eating one of your one of your pig skin treats your grain-free chicken-free? allergy-free treats look at you go good boy a little excited apparently I'm really tired So we made it up to Chilliwack, British Columbia, and this is where we're calling it a night of just quickly editing the video and Oh We're gonna go to bed and start the day here tomorrow. We got a deliver in the morning and Then we have a reload backup and barrier BC, which is north of Kamloops For some lumber some fancy lumber that we're gonna have to tarp Not gonna be fun, but I'm glad you're gonna be there We can do this together all 90,000 of us.
