 Hi, I'm Cory. I'm here in Venomatu hoping you enjoyed this episode of trucker Josh V-Logs Another dog over there. Okay, so he's behind the truck. He just popped out there with his With his owner. Oh, there he is. There he is There's the dude There's the dog. So there is a dog boy. Good. I never misses a thing that day So it's a morning time Good morning Today's gonna be a good day. We're delivering our three packages into Calgary, Alberta, Canada here in the West and From here we head over the Rocky Mountains to the Lower Mainland around Surrey, British Columbia or Vancouver, British Columbia For those of you who more people know where Vancouver is than Surrey, so It's about a 10 and a half hour drive from here. I think I'm gonna go to Hope, BC They got really good internet at their flying J there I'm gonna see if I can get a parking spot there tonight and upload a couple of videos for you Other than that, I think it's time for us to get rolling What do you think diesel should go deliver some freight? Well, I'm all ready to drive out of here as soon as they get their pieces off There was two tarps on my load so I took the one tarp off rolled it up tied it down to the deck and re-tarped The other packages that are going to BC so soon as they're finished They got one more piece to take off yet, and then we'll be on our way to the mountains We've got to work indoors too There they go with it over there, so I got my front piece All ready to go already That's going to BC And this piece here is Gonna stay here So we just got to get that off get this frame off of here. This is nailed right down So we got to get that off of there. They can keep it. I don't want it So I've got quite the collection of tarps this row is mine and These are from the driver who loaded this I got to bring it back to them So I got I'm gonna have eight tarps on this load on the way home Really light load though. It was really nice. I can't believe this was a full load Usually they have me loaded right up to the back These tarps also need some repairs too. They've got to be some of the worst tarps. I've seen yet Okay, perfect Thank you I'm gonna go back to the husky that we slept at and grab a coffee and something to eat real quick And then we have a almost a thousand kilometers or about 600 miles to get behind us today yet Oh, and this road is gonna be really interesting to get on to I want to turn left here And look like I'm gonna get in here. I might have to get a little aggressive So to speak the delivery itself only took about a half hour even a little less than that didn't take long at all So I didn't even grab a coffee before I went there. I was once straight there You don't want to be late now Coffee can wait and you won't hear me say that man very often. Here we go. There we go Right in here easy easy easy lose a tire in these potholes Turns out the entire truck stop is closed not just the pumps till Thursday Today is Tuesday, so I guess they're doing renovations or something No coffee for trucker Josh. So watch out on the road just saying It may be a little dangerous being on the road right now until I can find a coffee Throwing that out there. I Guess I'm gonna go to the Petro Pass on the west side of Calgary I gotta stop there for fuel anyways down a fuel in Alberta before I go into BC Why won't my phone be quiet? Of course as soon as I start rolling my phone just goes wild, huh? Just be another half hour or so I think I'll live I'm not sure but I think Should be okay And we're in the mountains and at a complete stand still it says the construction zone is ahead And I know they're doing some blasting around here. So I'm wondering if they're doing blasting right now terrible time to do it When is a good time, right? I guess at night might be a better time But then I don't know maybe they don't do blasting at night for now. Oh, buddy that lanes closed Oh, okay all these people the lanes closed. Okay. Well Yeah, now you're gonna try to cut in front of the line. Okay, I get it. All right Born more people Yeah, oh boy people Traffic's not moving as far up there as I can see people are getting out of their vehicles up ahead of me here I don't know what there was either an accident or they're blasting right now in that construction So I guess we'll only find out when we get there So we were stopping on highway there for about 10 minutes wasn't that long at all and this I believe is where they were Blasting whatever they were doing. Here's the sign person. Anyway, that was stopping everybody. I Don't think they were blasting at this time, but they were probably moving something around Working on something See they're widening the highway here. They're gonna be making it a four-lane highway all the way through the mountains Which is awesome. I've only been you know Suggesting that for the last I don't know decade or so, but can you imagine how expensive this must be? Okay, why are we stopping now? What's going on here now? Imagine how expensive this must be to build this highway through here. I Heard estimates from some people that it cost at some points like a million dollars per meter Anybody who knows anything about this can correct me in the comments if if they want you because I don't know anything about it But all I know is building a highway through the mountains is ridiculously pricey So I'm glad they're actually doing it, you know, it's for the safety of all of us And us drivers as truck drivers who come through here more regularly I come through here at least once or twice. Maybe a couple times a month a few times a month There's some drivers who do this every day or every couple of days And to have a four-lane divided or yeah four lane divided highway, even if it's just a cement barrier between directions Will save lives Look at this cliff to our right here just straight down certain death I don't know the answer. They got two barriers at least holding us up here But you know traffic whips through here at the speed limit's a hundred a lot of these cars whipped through here at 120 Which so the speed limit in miles an hour. Oh, that's got broke down there. That sucks the speed limit miles an hour is about 60 to two miles an hour 60 miles an hour and people fly through here at 70 miles an hour 70 75 and When you go through here, especially in wintertime with the icy roads It's ridiculously slippery. It's very dangerous. It is dangerous in the year in the current year as they say We shouldn't have that we should be able to have a safe four-lane divided highways. It's 2019. Come on We're not a brand new country We got the resources we got the manpower and the woman power, you know people kind We got people Glad to see we're getting it done Beautiful scenery here though. I that's why I don't have the camera faced at me right now You can just hear my voice because you don't want to see my face when you can see this Why would I ruin this by showing you my face? Look at this. This is British Columbia. It's beautiful Actually, I think we're still in Alberta or did we cross no across into BC already? Yeah Well, this is where that train derailment was they're still cleaning it up Wow That is such a mess when a train goes off the rails. You know, they're still cleaning it up there almost done by the looks of it Doos and as they say You know, I'd love to have a house right on top of that mountain You kind of cold up there though probably maybe halfway up where it's still warm And then I can have like a watch a watch tower right on top that'd be so cool just own a mountain. This is my mountain Why are we still on the brakes? Is it still constructions? I thought the constructions on ended No, never mind I forgot it's summertime construction never ends. There's another one coming up here. I See there's a train down off to our left over there Those are the tracks that derail that's obviously not the train that derailed but The train that derailed was on those tracks and it was a bad one a few months ago I drove past here like just after it happened. They just started like looking at it. It happened like the I came through here. I think on a Tuesday or something and it happened on Monday That's just like the day before Okay, why why buddy this guy at the front of this line here 40 kilometers an hour buddy buddy. This is not a construction zone Why? Tourists I bet you they're taking pictures slow down honey slow down. I gotta get this picture. Gotta get this picture right slow down Doesn't matter who's all behind us Slow down need a picture these guys in front of me are doing half the speed limit And there's a pickup truck behind me. That's getting incredibly impatient. He's already made two Ridiculous dangerous passes behind me that I saw in my mirror. I'm just waiting for him to try it on me Hope he doesn't hurt anybody It's frustrating being behind people like this who I Don't know what they're doing taking pictures sightseeing or what they're doing, but You know when you drive this slow on the highway it causes people like to pick up behind me to do stupid things Everybody's got somewhere to be just try to do a speed limit or close to it You know, maybe not half the speed limit The roads are dry the weather's nice There's give her. I'm waiting. I want to catch this guy Let's see if he goes for it here. He's just waiting for it I had a guy yesterday passed me around a blind corner to Just about head-on caused a head-on collision with an oncoming SUV with kids in the car I can understand his frustration. I'm getting frustrated too. This is ridiculous one car at the front of this whole Kerfluffle Still doing almost Yet now we're slowing down again slowing down slowing down. Oh My okay half the speed limit again. Wow They might even earn themselves a honk for me when I pass them, I don't know Okay, here's coming here comes a clearing. I bet you that pickups gonna go for it I bet he's gonna oh, they're all gonna go for it. Yeah, here he comes They're going for it. Oh, of course that car in the front is just Giving her now too. There you go, buddy. See that was an alright pass. That wasn't dangerous at all That gave me to get you the thumbs up for me He was passing around blind corners behind me there. You know what? I'm just gonna mention something right now every time you see a crazy aggressive driver in British Columbia I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but they always always have Alberta plates Just throwing that out there That was an illegal pass there too up ahead. We have Alberta plates Always driving big pickups always inpatient always flipping the bird at everybody Here's the flying J at hope BC Hope you guys don't mind all the road footage today. I really didn't show my face at all Like I said earlier. I didn't think you really want to see my face when you can see all of this I'm gonna pull in here for the night. Hopefully this is not a parking spot here for me They got the best internet here in the area see if we can find a parking spot. I'm sure we'll find something Little something something There's some spots in the back there Let's see if we can find something closer to the front better internet signal We got lots back here My windshield has been really dirty today, too. I haven't stopped to clean it at all. I know I Know I know Doesn't look like there's anything in the front row anymore I'll do one loop. We'll see Those are where I found a parking spot I snuck in here between pulled up there where that guy was and I backed it right in here snuck it right into the back Corner these look at that. We got the highway right beside us. We get that beautiful highway sound all night We got this guy here who's got a curtain side so you know, he's not gonna be noisy He's not idling now when the weather is a warm so he's not gonna idle through the cool night Doesn't have a reefer. It's gonna be nice and warm. I'm from the pardon me. He's gonna be nice and quiet I don't know why I said warm. It is pretty warm here though. It's about 30 degrees Celsius But I think I got myself a pretty nice little spot here. What do you think diesel? Very nice man Good skills man. Good backing up man. Very good. Very good. And here I am. Here's my face I do exist.
