 Good morning everybody. Back in the truck. Had a couple of days off at home. It was great. Had some good barbecue. Had some good time with family. It's time to get back to work now. I have a load behind me that I picked up on Friday. I have to deliver it today into Minnesota. I'm gonna go deliver it into Brainerd, Minnesota and from there I go down to Iowa. I have a load waiting down there for me. I gotta pick up tomorrow. I believe that load is gonna take me to Saskatchewan and then from there we'll figure it out as we go. So let's get going. This load isn't gonna deliver itself. My information on my next load came through. The reason I stopped, I wanted to check that out. Get all the details here. All the dates. Picking up in Burlington, Iowa and delivering to Langbank. Okay so let's find out where it was again. Like Burlington, Iowa. Isn't there like a Burlington like another Burlington somewhere? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere and it wasn't in Iowa. Burlington, Iowa. Okay so I'm going to be in Brainerd. I'll say just asking Google here. From Brainerd, Minnesota to Burlington, Iowa. I won't be walking. No I'll be driving. About seven and a half hours. 811 kilometers. So it'll be about eight to nine hours going through Minneapolis. So depending on how traffic is there might be longer yet. Okay so we want to get as far as we can today. Burlington is on the southeast corner of Iowa, of the state. Right by the border of Illinois. Like right on the border. South of Cedar Rapids and Davenport. And then from Burlington my trip up to Langbank will be. Langbank Saskatchewan. Will be 1662 kilometers or approximately 1,000 miles. Okay and we'll see what we got after that. So let's get back out there. I want to get this trailer unloaded so I can get as close as I can. I won't make it all the way to Burlington today. I'd like to get down to like what was that Cedar Rapids? South of Minneapolis for sure. For sure. I'd like to get down close to Cedar Rapids, Waterloo area. Maybe Iowa City. We'll see how far down there we get today and then we'll stop for the night and we'll do the rest tomorrow. So this is the cheapest juice. The cheapest juice around here but the parking lot is always chaos. That means that usually if they don't even have the pumps like going into their tanks on their truck, that means they're probably inside wasting time. But I think this guy to my left is going to be leaving right away. So I'm going to adjust my position here just a little bit. And if he moves I'm taking it. He just turned his lights on so I feel like he might be moving. Nice. Nice. Didn't even have to wait too long. Hopefully he doesn't park right in front of the pump here for another half hour. I'm sure it'll be okay. So this is like I said, cheapest juice around. I don't know why but St. Cloud Minnesota always has the cheapest fuel by quite a bit. Like the price here for diesel fuel looks like it's about 345 or 346 a gallon and everywhere else around here is close to 390 a gallon. Make the entrance to the ride on I-94 East. I met my dad at the fuel stop there. He pulled in right behind me. What are the chances, right? That's usually how we meet up. He says, hey, look at that. We're in the same place at the same time, like a thousand miles from home. He was right behind me when we were leaving. I was trying to say bye to him on the CB there but I guess he didn't have his radio on. Test, test. Or maybe mine's not working properly. So we made it to the Petro in Albert Lee Minnesota. I was so tired. I went straight to bed. We're going to continue this vlog today a little bit. It was a long day. I used up almost every single minute I got here and there was two minutes left on my clock. It just barely made it. And thank goodness there was a spot open for me out in the back here. So we're going to continue on. We're going to pick up our load then we'll start tomorrow's vlog from there. It's about another four and a half hour drive down to where we need to pick up and I need to get there as soon as possible so there's no time to waste. I'm going to do my pre-trip. I'm going to get this truck ready to go. We'll have to get out on the highway. Yeah, I bought this not too long ago. It broke but it still works. Walking through there. That looks like tick city in there. One option and it's bad coffee. A whole host of hopefully good coffees and hopefully not a whole line up of bad coffees. I'm not too familiar with Petro TA coffees but it's a pretty big truck stop chain here in the United States so I'm pretty sure that they must have mastered their their coffee selection by now. I don't stop here as often but these truck stops are amazing. I probably should stop at these more often. I usually tend towards you know the flying J pilots because they're also in Canada so it's easy for me to collect points and get free showers on both sides of the border if I just stick with that company. TA there's only is there still one in Ontario? I haven't seen it in a while. Did they close down? There used to only be one in Canada it was way in eastern Canada far away from me like 1500 miles away from me. That was the only one across the entire country. Oh well. Okay let's get out there on the road and deliver these tires and then after that we'll start tomorrow's video. So we're going to split the little bit of yesterday a little bit of today into one video. Monday's you know they're always hard to get going a little bit tired but worth it worth it. I picked up a few friends on my windshield yesterday and I haven't had time to squeegee them off yet. No time last night had to go to bed and today we're rushed to get our delivery done or I mean pardon me our delivery picked up shipping whatever you know what I mean let's get out to have not my coffee trailer is attached it's gonna come with us all day it's good it's a good sign you saw it yesterday right uh tri axle 53 foot aluminum truck wash here oh awesome yeah TA has like this truck service here now they got the truck wash you can get truck service to get it washed they always have massive parking lots massive it's like a mall a trucker mall in there it's amazing they do like these truck stops I wish that they had some locations in Canada but uh reasons I'm sure maybe they don't like us canucks up north you know maybe they don't like us that's okay we can't please everybody if everybody in your life that you meet likes you there's something wrong I try to I try to make everybody happy I try to be friendly and kind to everybody but it seems like some people on the internet just don't like me anyway I don't know well I never did anything to them not on purpose anyway and I don't like me that's okay because you like me right I have friends a little fresh rain in the morning mixed with the smell of burning diesel fuel and soon you'll hear the hum of the tires on the highway oh that's nice that makes for a good morning two four six eight ten twelve tires you know when uh when I drive the road that I'm going to be driving now going up through north portal up highway 52 in North Dakota into Saskatchewan through wayburn there's a lot of giant giant dump truck tires like those big big dump trucks the tires are massive they don't even fit on the on the deck they're always wide loads right I always see them going back and forth because Alberta is awesome and uh they got a lot going on and they have these big dump trucks rolling around everywhere right so they need all these tires all the time you always see these trucks with tires going up and up and down that road I wonder how much those tires cost I bet you for a load of those tires you could buy a house even in today's climate and market speaking of house on the housing front we are we're still saving up to be honest we're ready to move like we're ready to get a bigger house already but I want to do it smart I want to make sure that uh we can get our mortgage payments down low and still get the house that we want so we'll wait a little while a couple years or something oh there's mosquitoes here what am I doing what am I doing there we go everybody we're going to end the vlog right here we're going to start from exactly this exact same spot so please tune in tomorrow I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitoes we might actually start from a different spot tomorrow we'll see we're at uh that's a big sign the U.S. puts such big signs that the truck stops I love it I wish we'd do this in Canada you can never see the signs in here but come and go that's what they decided to call their business oh you guys got a mosquito bug on you sorry we'll see you tomorrow
