All right Forget how I open these things now. How's it going people? We're uh Just into Wisconsin from Illinois. So we're headed north We just picked up this big light load that I showed you yesterday And we're pulling it all the way to Calgary, Alberta from here It's a little over two days 2400 kilometers. The trip in total was 2700 kilometers all together Let's say I'll do the math today. I didn't do the official math with you yesterday because I was outside So it was about 2700 kilometers divided by 1.61. It's oh, I Told you like 2,500 miles yesterday. Ah It's 1,677 This is why you don't do math in your head trucker Josh. You make a fool of yourself. Oh, well at least I corrected myself, right? the next day I'm just gonna leave that in there. I haven't edited yesterday's yet. I'm just gonna leave that in there and see how many of you Caught that So I'll show you the load real quick if you didn't watch yesterday's vlog I encourage you to go back and watch it that way, you know how we got here, you know My whole vlog channel is a story of my life day by day.

You're not supposed to park on the side of the freeway It's a danger Okay, here we go. This is the load with the smoke tarp on the front. I explained that yesterday And it's a very very light load. I believe it's styrofoam the whole thing I keep joking around saying the whole thing weighs like Five pounds It's really not that heavy at all So with that being said We're gonna get excellent fuel economy. We're planning on it anyways Can get as far as we can today. We won't get quite into Canada We're gonna be crossing at North portal North Dakota North portal Saskatchewan from portal North Dakota Crossing the border into Canada there and then going through Saskatchewan into Alberta to Calgary I don't know where I'm going from there yet, but This is gonna keep us busy for the next two to three days, so let's give her let's get out there I'm just gonna look up the actual weight. Oh, yeah, I gotta send these papers in anyways for border clearance. Okay Let's do that right now the actual weight Shipping weight. Oh, yeah, right Says the actual weight is five thousand six hundred and eighty eight pounds. Yeah, right I literally it feels like there's nothing on the trailer if I wouldn't have mirrors. I would think the trailer was empty It is so light There's two thousand three hundred and four individual pieces that weigh a collective five thousand six hundred eighty eight point nine eight nine pounds or two thousand five hundred and eighty point four eight zero kilograms So it really isn't that heavy five thousand pounds to a big truck like this isn't anything at all, but Like I said It's gonna be great fuel economy Our favorite season is finally upon us once again Construction season Looks like we're just getting out of it right now, but all the way from the Illinois border all the way out to here Where are we? What mile marker headed north on I-94 or is it it's technically west, right? It's sort of heading northwest through Wisconsin All construction It's not that bad. It doesn't cause any delays or anything They've left two lanes open. They're just working on the median, I think for the most part We're here at exit number our important me mile marker 169.6 and We still got the cones on the side of the highway. So maybe it'll turn back into another construction zone It's sort of been on and off But that season is now upon us The season we've been waiting for all winter We missed it. I know I know you missed it just as much as I did Construction season. It's always a fun time to be on the road. I want to be on the beach. I Always love these rocks off to our right here That looks so cool Not sort of like what you would expect to see in like the deserts of Utah or something except there. It's red We're trucking along And commenting on current events because my videos are behind and by the time you hear what I have to say about it it's It's already a long pass you guys have moved on but I just want to put my two cents in that I think it's absolutely tragic to hear about the Notre Dame Cathedral fire As you know from my videos I am I value history a lot. I value our European history What we have accomplished and built and the buildings like the Notre Dame At its current state it took 300 years to build to get it to that point. I mean construction started in what 1162 The two towers were completed in 1240 to 1245 I think somewhere around there And it's been standing through wars the world wars it survived through a revolution And so many significant historical events have taken place there and it's a symbol of our history our heritage and Our ability To engineer and build that that was a huge feat of engineering at the time like those eight or eight hundred years ago And it used to be the tallest building on earth at its fire Absolutely tragic. I was so sad to watch that happen You know, it's amazing that after the fire the cross and the altar survived and we're still standing Inside the building and the structure seems to be all right. I hope they can rebuild it But you know, it'll never be the same Because the structure the stained glass some of the stained glass of the building was original Original stained glass and its housing was lead so the lead can melt and the stained glass is obviously susceptible to high heat And they don't know yet how much of it was damaged. That was original from the 11th 1100s and 1200s Burnt to the ground and there's been several attempts to burn it down in the past decade But I won't go into my thoughts on that here on YouTube Let's just say that I question What they're telling us happened I question it It happened right before the holy week of Easter Couple days after the last person who tried to burn it down was sentenced in prison There's a lot of things that are just I understand. We're all the what they're calling conspiracy theories come from but You know, the official report isn't out yet at this time of filming and when it does come out I don't know if I'll believe it. I'll just say that I don't know because No one knows what to believe anymore these days. All I know is that I believe it's a tragedy and absolutely It's infuriating Whether it was an accident or not. If it was an accident. It's infuriating that someone was so careless And if it and if some people did that it's infuriating That they did that So either way, I'm upset. I'm sad I'm not even Catholic Well, that's my thoughts on that When I release this video, there may be more information out there. So When I'm filming this the fire happened yesterday for me and we're gonna go to the tire shop here at loves I want to get my steer tires switched Rotated they're not directional so I can put them on either side and my passenger side is wearing out faster than my driver Side because you know the roads usually lean out that way So I want to switch them around so that they will wear evenly so that I don't have to replace my passenger one Earlier Mandy I already told you know We're going to loves and this guy is coming out the entrance. No, he changed his mind. Okay. Yeah, that's right I'm entering the entrance Look at this Ken. No, look at this Peter Bell here on the right That's what I want. That's what I would like Yeah That is beautiful Mandy how many times why I gotta tell you no I'm back in besides Schneider here Walk over to the tire shop. There's room over here somewhere. I Just need to quickly park and walk in You are obsessed with that street No, looks like I could park here. Yeah, I'm gonna park right here. I'm closer to the tire shop Just off to the left There's the tire shop there There's need to do a quick switcheroo with my steers And this guy's gonna walk right through the middle of the lot right through the middle You know, I try to walk along the edges or along the truck so that there's not whatever whatever. It's okay Not a big deal on a big deal Just different habits. I try to be a little more courteous than some people some people don't have a courteous bone in their body That's okay. You see a lot of them at the truck stops Courtesy, what's that? All right, we got told we can pull right on in that's good That's exactly what I wanted so they should only take like 15 minutes to a charude We'll be on our way This is good, then I don't have to do this on my home time I'm sure how far any wants me but stop here for now. I guess I get this done Look at the driver's side steer here. That's what we're looking at here. It's still looking good, right? Here's the passenger side and see that it's wearing down faster here It's because the truck is usually leaning towards the shoulder, right? Get those switched around and That was actually the exit I thought it was the entrance before Sometimes I should just keep a motion, right? Right. That's what I hear in the comment section all the time So we got our steers switched around we just got to stop at a another location to get them retorted for free down the road And hopefully the tires will wear evenly so that by the time I need to replace both of them that they'll both be evenly worn I See we've arrived in Minneapolis, St. Paul Right in the nick of time for afternoon rush hour Wonderful wonderful at least we're moving along pretty good here. I don't know why that guy's in the left lane He's looking at me funny, too Had a cowboy hat on okay. I don't know why he was looking at me. It's actually not so bad You know Minneapolis isn't the worst city for rush hour Not nearly as bad as like Toronto or Chicago, but those two cities also have a lot of What do you call that? Bypass traffic like that's just going through the city not actually coming or going Minneapolis is further up north here. If you're this far in the United States, you're either Canadian or you're from Minnesota All right, because there's not too much population out west that would travel through here You know like North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana most of them if they went to the eastern states or something They would probably take I I 90 or something So not much population out here not as bad Still pretty good though. Look at all that traffic over the left, right? Wow, it's actually quite a bit. It's all backed up on that side here so that This guy beside me can come into the center lane ladies, but no he wants to stay in the left lane See if he gives me a weird look again No, no, he just likes the left lane There he is over there Dude, there's nobody between us. Why are you in the left lane? I don't understand But he has a 1.5 million miles safe driver sticker on the side of his truck, so I guess there's something to being in the left lane that some of us Don't know After that many miles you think you'd know better Don't hug the left lane. Don't sit in the left lane Looks like there's an accident on the other side of the road or something. Can't really see it but it's probably why Things were backed up a little now this side's gonna slow down cuz you know Rubber-neckers doing as they do I Can't even see there's too many trucks in the left lane Blocking my view Just a fender bender nothing to see nothing to show you So I have Five hours 15 minutes or so I'm just a little over five hours left on my day today yet. I'm in Minneapolis I'm probably gonna be able to get past Fargo. I'm kind of hoping I can get up somewhere on us 52 in North Dakota Maybe around what's that town called again? What's the town called it's got like that big Indian chief giving the The the he's giving a Nazi salute. I'll try to remember to show you what I'm going through I can't do it because I'll get in trouble if I do it, but there's a big statue of an Indian chief giving giving the Hitler salute It's in this town, what's it called again? Not Chamberlain, that's the sketch one I'll have to get back to you on that. I've been wanting to show you the statue every time I pass through there But it's sort of on a section where I can't really stop and it's usually nighttime when I go through there And you can't see it, but it's just giant like at least 30 foot statue And he's doing the salute It's got like the Indian headdress on and everything I'm pretty sure it must mean something different in different cultures, but if I do it Big trouble big trouble I Have the wrong skin color to do that one. I'll try to remember to show you it's pretty I think it's pretty funny I don't know I'd like to bring your attention to the small black dots dotting your screen right now Pretty windy out here Those are bugs What's left of them? may Make some of you go you to me It brings joy to my soul Because you know what those are Those are the very first bugs on my windshield of the season Which can only mean one thing Summer is just about here. It's a beautiful sign I guess I got to start changing out my washer fluid for bug washer fluid and not the winter stuff I'm just gonna leave the guts right there for you. There you go. That's a good sign Well, we didn't quite make it to that statue. I was gonna show you but we'll be there tomorrow I just wanted to say good night to you guys. Thanks for hanging out with me for the day We've made it up to Tower City, North Dakota a little ways west of Fargo, so we're between Fargo and Valley City, North Dakota on the I-94 if you're familiar with North Dakota and Tomorrow will be in Canada see how far we can get we have 1,477 kilometers left to go. I'd say that's 800 miles I better do the math because last time I was way off 1,477 divided by 961 917 miles okay 917 miles to go we'll get as far as we can today as soon as we cross the border into Canada We'll gain an extra two hours Because we're on Canadian hours of service and we'll get there and unload our freight sometime during the day That's tomorrow for you guys so Take care don't forget to subscribe a lot of you who watch aren't subscribed and it helps me out more than you Thank you, if you just go and hit that subscribe button It's free and if you feel like going the extra mile that little bell beside it helps me out a lot because then when I release my video You get a little notification and you don't miss it I'll see you later.
