 Hey, this John out of Los, Wisconsin you're watching trucking with Josh on TJV. Stay tuned Notice anything different on my truck? I bought this new bug deflector to try to keep bugs out of your face And out of my face So you can see it down there now. It doesn't look that big it actually looks pretty small But apparently that's enough to keep the bugs off the windshield or at least a lot of bugs off the windshield Just the air hits it and then it gets shot up over the truck, huh? I'm really excited about it. It's nice that they had a chrome one in stock, too So now when you're sitting here, hopefully there won't be so many bugs right in front of the camera We'll see so I did arrive here to pick up my truck they Fixed the fan the interior fan. Let's see if it works. Let's start it up first There you are my baby. Oh my girl It's a good girl Okay, and yeah, there's the fan Yep, it works perfect. They had to put a brand new fan in there Is that open? Why is it not coming out of there? Okay, there it is. Oh, it just took a second for the vents to change There we go. Beautiful Yeah, my old fan before it stopped working got all loud. It sounded like it was rubbing on something like a buzzing sound so I knew it was on the way out Yeah Excited that this all came through Turned out well and that bug deflector, so we'll see how that thing works We're leaving tomorrow We have a load going down a load of lumber going down to Waterloo, Iowa And then I have a reload waiting for me to pick up Friday morning in Chicago So it's Tuesday today, so I'm gonna be leaving tomorrow Wednesday around a little bit before noon I'm gonna leave the house probably try to leave the yard by about noon and it'll be about a 24-hour trek Including sleeping down to Waterloo, Iowa. I could probably get down there in one day of driving It's pretty much exactly 11 hours to get there from here without any traffic or anything So I could probably leave in the afternoon Might get there in one day. We'll find out but Got the truck back We're back at it. I feel complete again All right, you know what time it is, you know what time it is They're excited you should be excited too Look at this look at this look at this. Don't not not not just that There's at least one two three Three chickens that gave their lives for what's about to happen. I can't let them die in pain I'm so excited Yeah, there's a wife there, too Yeah, this is gonna be good Mm-hmm one there. Yeah, there's three chickens that gave their lives for this. Oh boy. We're gonna cook them all Excuse me, sir. Excuse me if I roll always like this. Would you give me some chicken time to put this new bug deflector to the test? We're about to cross into the United States here right now We've got our load of lumber all tied down behind us. Obviously if we've been this far already it better be tied down I'm gonna stop in Pembina, North Dakota just over the border here. And then we've got quite a ways to go today. Yeah, we got 975 kilometers to go yet How many miles that be let me let me check here 975 kilometers. Okay, Google. Hey, oh my Wi-Fi is connected to my GoPro. Hey One second here. Okay, Google How many miles is 975 kilometers? 975 kilometers is equal to 605.837 miles. There you go That's how many miles we got till we deliver this freight and then I've got a load in Chicago That's taking me back here. I dropped that trailer hook on to a different trailer. It's like a big tank Like a little big fuel tanks again. I'm taking that out to Michigan. So what do you think diesel ready to go to America? You're ready to go to America man Seems that this bug deflectors Doing some some of the job is supposed to anyways. I mean, there's still some bugs that are getting on the windshield, but I mean, it's hard to tell it's hard to compare directly, right? But The lower part of the windshield is definitely a lot cleaner than it always is So that's good. That's right right about where you guys sit there, right when you're mounted right now You're on my head. So you can sort of get a little bit of a better view of what's going on here We're between Grand Forks, North Dakota and Fargo, North Dakota I'll show you what this bug deflector looks like on the highway from my point of view I mean, it's not gonna stop all the bugs, right? It's not gonna stop But if it stops a good portion of them, I'm happy make our way out of Fargo, North Dakota here up some fuel Probably gonna go to Roth is a Minnesota again where I seem to make it to But it's it's a regular first day back on the road after being home for a few days Sort of tired sort of wish I was still at home sort of Meh But tomorrow will be better First day on back on the road is always like this So I'm not too sure. I think Ross say is about what another hour or so up the road. I Got to go at least to there Then it'll be almost a full day of driving to get I'm just hoping they're gonna unload later into the afternoon I gave them a call And they said they were open a full work day, which I was assuming What's this guy doing good doing the internal over alright, thanks, bud When people say that they're there for the full work day, I'm assuming they're there till at least for but you know Sometimes I forget or I often forget to double-check because some people's work day is literally till 1 30 in the afternoon Just make sure they're there You're very chatting today Karen What's going on you miss me? Meander our way on to interstate 94 eastbound We came from ahead of us there I went underneath this intersection before to grab fuel at the flying J, which was one block south Turning back east on to interstate 94. You know the weather is still not too bad It's a little chilly at night now already, but that's just being compared to summertime Apparently this week is supposed to be really warm So by the time you watch this video, you'll probably already know whether or not that forecast was true Back home. They were calling for like almost plus 30 degrees this week. That's like 80s and 90s fair night, which is good because we thought that summer was over already We had such a rainy August lots of rain. It's very chilly very cold Hey, maybe we'll have a warmer September. Who knows who knows? Can you see it off to the right in the distance there? Just left Moorhead You know what those flashing yellow lights mean, don't you? They're hiding behind FedEx here now here. They come way station one mile as it's open They want to see us. What's it's actually say on the sign says truck and Combinations over 10,000 pounds must enter way station when flashing and out of the darkness She comes forth Let's see what they want. We are pretty heavy, but we're not overweight So let's see. We're gonna drive over these preliminary scales at 30 miles per hour Just under 50 kilometers an hour Don't hit the brakes while you're going over these scales or it'll mess up your overall weights And then they'll definitely want to see you just sort of coast over them Like I just turned on his high beams over there. Why are you turning on your high beams? One of my biggest pet peeves on the road People who think they're way more important than everyone else that they they have to see but no one else can See Looks like they just want me to bypass I Don't want to jinx it, but almost every time already they get me to bypass it Why even pull me in why even pull me in here? Just let me go Close the scale You guys should be at home in bed anyways, you know go home have a good supper eat some steaks Have a barbecue. You don't need to be at work. Yeah, one two three four Highway patrol vehicles there Wonder how often they have to chase the truck, you know like a truck that blew the scale I wonder how often that happens. What if that happens every day or if it's like a very rare thing Guess we'll never know Never had to chase me before That's all that matters So we did only end up making it to Roth's day here. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed It's about 9 30 in the evening. I've got an early start tomorrow We'll hammer down then Oh first day on the road is always just Little tough sometimes I'm just gonna pull into my spot here in the back corner Staying here the night So that's that Parked in our corner. I'm ready for bed. I got to set up my bed yet Oh Put the sheets on it with the blankets on it put my pillow case on my pillow put my pillow on my bed Crawl under the covers and pass out in less than five seconds So we're gonna get up around 7 a.m. Tomorrow and begin our trip pretrip around 7 30 and we'll be out of here around 745 So I'll see you then don't forget to subscribe and make a new video pretty much every day or every day while I'm on the road anyways We'll be on the road now for a little while like I was telling you before we have this load going down to Waterloo, Iowa Then I go to Chicago I pick up a load that goes back to Winnipeg and then I turn around from there and I take a load down to Michigan and From there. I'll probably have a load going back to Alberta and thinking Anyways, I'll talk to you later guys. I'm tired. Thanks for watching
