 Mark Gregory here. I live in Huxbury, Ontario, Canada. You're watching Trucker Josh on YouTube The two best things to see first thing in the morning when you're on the road. Good morning. You sitting there Or are you standing there? It's time to sit down. The vlog's beginning. Today is gonna be a wonderful day Diesel you ready to go home? You go home and see mom and Chevy and Frank and other Frank yeah, which one's the other Frank again and I I think I think wieners the original Frank but Big Frank is much much older So he probably thinks he's the original. I don't think but we have two Franks So one's big Frank and one's wiener. Is it dashing? Get it. She's a wiener dog and he's also a wiener He's a wiener wiener. Oh weirdness aside We are making it home today. I got that load of concrete on my trailer behind me Notice I remembered to call it concrete and not cement that was on the first take at that load on We're gonna take it to our yard. I should be there this afternoon I got a little bit of a later start than I wanted to But we're still on track to be there for around the end of business day Maybe before they even go home from the office and then I'll probably be scheduled to go back out again on First thing Monday morning I'm thinking Brit has the weekend off and like I said before we don't have very many opportunities where we both have the same days off at the same time So I'm gonna take advantage of this. We're gonna get some stuff done this weekend. Hopefully get something lined up So that on Monday morning I can hook up and go but before that let's worry about today Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow tomorrow's got enough problems worry about today. All right Because today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday. I heard this great quote Somewhere where did I hear that again? You made it through another day and today was the day that you were worried about yesterday and it turned out you made it through it It was all right You're just fine So tomorrow will be today But we'll worry about that when it becomes today because today's today tomorrow's not today tomorrow's tomorrow and yesterday was today But it was a tomorrow before that Then it was a today now. It's a yesterday. Now today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow You really got to stop doing these inspirational attempts man. You just don't work and you're very good at it Video from yesterday is rendering away here right now. I had some issues with it this morning This is the third attempt at rendering this thing. I keep forgetting that for some reason I guess my my Inverter where I plugged my computer into isn't very strong. I need to get a bigger one probably eventually and Every time I start the truck if I turn it off and start the truck it shuts off my computer And it interrupts the rendering. It's done that twice to me today already It's a third attempt at getting tomorrow's video up to you yesterday's video up to you now I'm all confused after that along confusing speech. Do you feel inspired? Did it at least do something I've wasted my time didn't I? Need to check these chains Make sure they're still tight should really have gloves on for this Sometimes I like to live life on the edge make sure all these binders still locked in Tight tight tight to make sure my signs are still here. That's good Locked in locked in Good. It's all looking good Just a quick check just Delta looks a little funny with this hook hanging down here, right, but It is tightened up to there and locked in Legs are all up there. We have a problem though coffee's empty. I Don't want to stop too much today. We're on the final stretch on the way home We have 474 kilometers to the yard. Hey diesel. You ready to go home, too? You're gonna go home. What's this doing here? What's this doing? There's nowhere else put that I gotta bring that home We're on attempt number four now of rendering this video Now it's been failing. So I start rebooted the computer on my own Without it just shutting off. I know that can damage the computer That's why I try not to let that happen. I try to shut it down before I shut the truck down Or we're gonna try to render it again the last rendering failed. That's the video you watched yesterday 25 vlog number 2563 It's taking me a Good chunk of the day all morning already to get that vlog rendered for you I don't know what's going on, but the things I do for you. I Wanted to be uploading it now already. I'm still rendering it It's okay. It's okay. Wait a minute Another two minutes Other two minutes that I'm here for my half hour may as well just wait Because after I'm here for a half hour I get another eight hours On my log even though I don't need them. I'm only I'm just gonna wait. I'm just gonna wait Two minutes, it's just two minutes All right, let's follow mr. Volvo out of here the reason I give my Engine a little bit of a rock rock before I start moving usually It's one because it sounds awesome But two it's a safety reason behind it It's to draw attention to the vehicle and the fact that I'm about to start moving So if there's anybody like standing near the truck or in front of the truck or around the truck I'll give it a little bit of a rock that'll turn their head To look at the trucks that they know To pay attention this trucks about to start moving that's One of the reasons I do that It's sort of like a backup beeper except cooler into the habit of that since I was in that day cap Peterbilt Not only do we like to hear the sound of the pipes they do serve a purpose loud pipe save lives So whenever you see me about to roll away, you'll probably hear me give it a little crap That's just to get your attention so you know big trucks about start moving get out of the way in two hours We're still five hours away It's okay though, it's okay We're making good time still So I run at 62 miles an hour 100 kilometers an hour that's where I found my sweet spot If I want to make even better fuel economy, I can go 55 miles an hour 90 kilometers an hour But honestly for me that's just a little too slow to get anywhere I've got to find a healthy balance excuse me healthy balance and I found that at 62 miles an hour If I need to pass somebody I can pass But for fuel economy reasons, this is where this is where I run I've noticed that if I go any faster my fuel economy dips really quickly really quickly So having a nice truck isn't about going fast Looking good, it's not about going fast. There's no point in going fast. That just gets you speeding tickets But as far as I know no one yet has gotten a ticket for looking too good So I may go a little below the limit sometimes, but at least I'll look good doing it At least I think so. I mean I try to try to keep the truck clean Can't do it every day. It's a lot of work. I'm gonna do my best I've noticed that when big trucks or like RV campers with trailers pass me They very often veer into my lane as they're coming to the front of my truck here comes a big truck now See if you'll hold it straight Just a heads up if you do pass a truck like mine We move a lot of air and the airflow could suck you in towards me. Let's see this guy Okay, he held it pretty straight for people who aren't aware of how the air moves around my truck When you get to about my air cleaner here at the front where this pickup is right there The air movement around my truck is going to want to pull your vehicle Into my lane and into the front fender of my truck if you're not ready for it and not paying attention or on your phone I'm probably gonna have to hit the shoulder. I've had to do it several times already for people who have been sucked in and I always have to watch to make sure that they're not gonna bump my my fender here It's usually with bigger vehicles like if you're pulling a camper behind your pickup or like an RV or You know our semi truck as well There's a little bit of a heads up for when you do pass these big-nosed trucks The air moves around us a little differently than it does with the aerodynamic trucks We push a lot of air. I Wish we could see it so I could show you but You can definitely see the results and I've had a couple of close calls already. I always got to pay attention The wind gusts Because when you're back beside my door here It's gonna want to push you away from my truck, right? And then there's a certain point where the winds are gonna change and it's gonna suck you back in towards me It's hard to describe so you sort of just have to experience it for yourself But just when you are passing a big truck Especially if it's a big long-nosed W9 or a big Peterbilt 389 like with the big hoods We're pushing a lot of air so just be aware get ready for your steering to get pulled either direction and just you know use caution and Put your phone down when you're passing me at least okay I'm more of a libertarian guy. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life But at least when you're passing me, please put your phone down I'd appreciate it Turn buddy. In this space we can be our true selves are too many selves Mass humidity and all that stuff. Yeah We smash cans in our heads No, we don't do Anyways, I don't know how to end this video. So I'm here in the shop I got some work to do on the truck that you'll see in the upcoming videos. This is future Josh. So That's some events. Nothing big. I'm just doing some improvements to the truck. You want to see? I'll I'll give you a sneak peek. Okay. I'm gonna try not to spoil tomorrow's video in the next video We'll I'll give you a little spoiler alert here It's a spoiler this place though messed up a little bit here. First of all, we got these horns or sent in from our friend Thank you very much. I still don't know if you want me to name you or not Some people don't like the recognition.
