 Hello beautiful people, my name is Angela and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. You're watching trucker Josh and the diesel weasel Good morning you and those of you out there that aren't so fine. Hey to YouTube. Hey, how's it going? You know who you are? I don't even know who you are, but you do We're here in Boston, Wisconsin the quick trip You're quick look see Found a good spot over here But it's time to get rolling again we have according to Karen 2,577 kilometers to go to our destination in Fort McMurray, Alberta oil country So let's pull out our thinking caps everybody. How many miles is 2,577 kilometers you take that you divide it by 1.61 Exactly 1,600 miles. Well, you could round it up to 1,601 miles And we got to get there as quickly as possible Let's not waste any time. Let's get going already got my coffee Got my breakfast. I got like a fruit platter and a chicken sandwich Diesel you're ready to go back there. Why are the lights on? Hey, you playing games with me? Alright everybody Let's let the day begin Thank you Reset my gauges here so I know what my fuel economy is like today. I have a feeling we're gonna get a really good fuel economy today Okay, so Roll forward a few feet nice and easy and Stomp on the trailer brakes Or I guess if you pull the trailer brakes, I'm not I can't really stomp. It's a handbrake. You know what I mean Trailer's not gonna fall off. That's the point Hugely embarrassing Among other things I was gonna go in Boston, Wisconsin, where's this Boston? No, this isn't Boston. Is it? Pretty sure we're just south of Black River Falls. Anyway, couldn't quite make it to the flying day last night It was close Tomah, that's right. Tomah, Wisconsin. I guess at Boston last night, too I also said it was Friday yesterday. I don't know why I said it was Friday. Definitely wasn't Friday I was filming that on a Monday Don't mind me. I just don't know what I'm talking about sometimes. I Know there's a bunch of you that'd be like, yeah, no, right. You never know what you're talking about. I know I Hear you sometimes. I know a little bit other times not as much Another rainy day We're turning into the Amazon or something I'm getting a lot of rain out this way It's been raining at home, too. Just non-stop State 94 westbound here and we're gonna take this interstate all the way through into North Dakota where we're gonna take US 52 and Snake our way up towards the Canadian border. We're gonna cross through from portal North Dakota into North portal Saskatchewan And meander our way north and let's hope that we don't hit any of that snow that's been falling out that way I'm much happier with the rain. I'd rather keep this I'd rather unload this whole load in the pouring rain than have to do it in three feet of snow More rain More rain, have I have I mentioned how much rain we've been getting recently? Absolutely oodles of it oodles of rain Buckets of rain barrels of rain Like we're getting about half the ocean dumped on us this month. It's just insane It's very good for us though because our land here has been at least back home Like I'm near Minneapolis right now, but I'm it's like six hours or like 400 miles from home or whatever but Our land around home has been so dry the past couple of years. I was actually worried about our forests like around our house our trees Dying off because they didn't have enough moisture and of water. They were already kind of looking kind of sad But this year they've really really popped out and come back to life. All this water is very good for our trees and Our lawn man our lawn has been so green all year Fantastic remember last year in the year before our lawn at this time of year in August was just dead Well, we didn't get any rain from like mid-July to like late September Nothing so everything was just absolute tinder dry rain like this also prevents forest fires and stuff our property in our yard and our trees will Really be able to soak up this water as long as we don't get too much, but you know It's been all right. The creek is at a good level if this continues into the winter though, man Are we gonna have a lot of snow? Snowmobiles are gonna love it. I wish I had a machine. That would be awesome Snowmobiles are my absolute favorite kind of ATV. They're so much fun. I had one when I was younger in my teens We sold it off eventually, but Man if I could ever get a new one one day Those things are fun and a winter like this winter. I bet it's gonna be a good year to have one Going around Minneapolis right now and We're getting a break from the heavy rain at least for a little while Just got some light rain coming down on us, but it looks like there's more heavy rain up ahead there Look at those clouds Oh goody You know, I hope that all the moisture falls now Before winter so that in winter we don't get too much snow That's just my own hope But I know that the farmers around our area really hope for lots of snow in winter because that helps a lot in spring But maybe I don't know quite how it works with agriculture But maybe since we got so much moisture now in fall, maybe they don't need as much snow. I don't know I Think as long as their fields don't flood And the ground doesn't become too saturated water. I think More water is good water. I don't know I mean rain is a good thing, right? I've heard that Makes the corn grow Looks like the pilot here in St. Cloud, Minnesota has gotten a facelift recently They still had those old logos on here last time didn't they? I'm pretty sure Not sure if they got DEF at every pump here either I need to grab diesel fuel just below a quarter tank and I got just over a half tank of DEF so I don't really need to fill it up now, but Need to fill it up sooner or later. Maybe I can do that tomorrow Yeah, I think only certain pumps here have DEF That's fine. I'll fill it up tomorrow. Whatever not a big deal This one doesn't have DEF they don't have it marked yet on these new signs But I can tell that this one doesn't have it because it has this old pump off on my right here That's fine. I got plenty to last me till tomorrow till the next time I feel left The good people on wherever this is Know that I am here. I am on duty not driving. I am fueling I'm also going to check my load. Hi Things been acting up recently. My touchscreen isn't working that well Hoping hey my I think I have to recalibrate it There we go. Let that do its thing there Turn this off because we don't need to be burning fuel unnecessarily Get my sweater on. Oh, yeah, I'm that driver today Sweatpants I Know I can hear you from here have some self-respect Put on a good pair trucking pants. I Wanted to be comfy today, okay? Take it easy on me Wanted to be comfy. I don't have to do any unloading or loading today. It's just a driving day Nothing big going on. I just wanted to be comfy. Okay Don't judge me Or judge me if you want leave your judgmental comments down below Give me your best shot Fargo, North Dakota actually West Fargo. I think that semi truck just royally cut off that pickup dude, man You got a look People We're going into the Petro here because there's a blue beacon here Let me get myself a truck wash. I Know it's supposed to rain again tomorrow through our route but you know at least I can get some of the soot and stuff off of my truck now and It'll be better because we're not gonna be going past another truck wash Well, I guess there's a blue beacon in my not But you have the truck wash now because I said so And that's all the reason we need She needs a bath It's been too long again back here and good. There's not really even a lineup. Thank God Sometimes a lineup all the way out here I mean they are open right all these vehicles here. I think blue beacons are open 24-7 aren't they? Let's see we'll go around this corner. Oh, there's one guy in line in front of me Okay, well, that's not bad at all. We won't be here very long Well, there's one person in line for each door. Okay, so there's two people waiting here, but there's two bays And I'll just wait here Until I see which bay is going to Be done first. I didn't take long But ten seconds and they start to pull this guy in I Guess I will get in line right here So I'm gonna get a just a tractor wash and engine wash undercarriage wash and rain eggs usually comes out to just under a hundred dollars Canadian or 75 dollars American.
