 Hi, I'm Russ. And I'm Meg. And this is Coco. And we're from County Wexford, Ireland. And you're watching Trucker Josh on YouTube. Well, Chevy, what do you have to say? What do you have to tell the good people? Say good morning. Say good morning. Say good morning. Good morning, everybody. We're here in Calgary, Alberta. We're about to deliver that freight that got added onto our trailer last minute. We'll get that off my trailer. I really don't want it anymore. It's weighing me down. I'm going to go to Sundra, Alberta after that and pick up a load of lumber that I don't have to tarp. Thank you, God. And we're going to take that to Fargo, North Dakota, which is about 1,700 kilometers, a little over 1,000 miles. So I want to get as far as I can today yet. So we've got to quickly go here, get unloaded, rush over there, get reloaded, and book it. Like we had never booked it before. Alright, let's make our way out of here for two hour delivery. I said they were going to unload us by one o'clock, and it's just before noon right now, and they're just around the corner. I'm going to show up there at noon, start getting my tarps off. Hopefully around 12.30 they'll be able to start unloading me so I can be out of there by one. I have to stop somewhere and get fuel on the way yet because I tried to fuel here yesterday, but their pumps shut down and weren't working right when I got here. And I didn't want to wait there all evening for their pumps to be turned back on and then lose a good parking spot. So I figured I'd fuel up today instead. So we've just begun un-tarping here. This is where the glass was. This is just this big empty gap on the lower flatbed here. Stepped bed, stepped deck. Started taking the bungees off the back there already. And yeah, so we're going to get these tarps off, and I'm going to back up just a little bit out into that open space over there. We're going to unload there. I'm just taking my tarps off here, putting back here out of the way where I'm not going to be blocking anything or anybody. Better get to work. Actually, we've got two loads waiting for us. If we're late picking up one, they all get delayed. And you see, that's what's underneath there. Same thing in the back. You guys saw this when I was loading it, right? Super flimsy, super sharp, like every single one of them has super sharp little tin edges like this. Can you see that? I just want to rip through your tarps, all of these pipes here. So it's very fragile, very bendy. It's what I call very bendy. And you want to tie it down tight enough so that it doesn't fly off, right? But you also don't want to tie it down too tight as to damage it. Oh, so it's like a balancing act. This kind of freight isn't really a lot of fun. Oh, I'm all dirty and tired again. That's okay. The trailer is empty. The load is complete. They signed the bills. They were happy. Another happy customer. We've got to rush over to Sundra before they close. I want them to throw that lumber on me. I want to be on my way. We're going to cross into the U.S. into the state of North Dakota from Saskatchewan at Portal. That's the name of the town. North Portal, Saskatchewan and Portal, North Dakota across through there. I don't know if we're going to cross through today yet. I highly, highly doubt that. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get my border clearance done. I could do it myself, but the office likes to take care of that stuff. Whatever. I won't be there tonight anyway. By the time we get going, it'll probably be like five o'clock. Diving till probably around midnight. Looks like we finished unloading just in time. Getting a bit of a rain cloud pass over us here. It should be gone pretty soon. Ooh, that was a very pink light, my friend. Very pink. See, here's flying JJsoft to our left. Grab some fuel and head up Sundra. So it's 2.30 now. By the time we get out of here, it'll be like 2.45 or so. 3.45. Oh boy, we're going to be there after four o'clock. I hope that they load later tonight. Otherwise, we're going to have to wait till tomorrow morning to get loaded. I mean, that'll work still, but hey, not as good. It's going to be kind of a waste of an afternoon if I got to wait till tomorrow morning. Continue 200 meters. Then turn left on 116 Avenue, South East. We're exactly 150 kilometers away from Sundra. I would like to be a lot closer than that already. Unfortunately, we can't go much further without some of this stuff. Some go-go juice. Hopefully their pumps are working today. I'm parked in Olds, Alberta right now. I'm on the street behind another truck where there's no parking signs. So this is where we're going to be spending the night. I'm going to go into that grocery store over there called No Frills. Won't be beat, is their slogan. Well then, Mr. No Frills or Mrs. No Frills or whatever you are, you say you won't be beat, I put you to the challenge. I'm going to go there and see how their prices are. Now, I get paid in two days. And I've got exactly $48 to last me for food until then in the budget. So $48, two days. Should be all right. Pretty much all I'll buy is probably bread. I need some peanut butter. I'll get some sandwich meat. I've already got Miracle Whip in here. Miracle Whip. And I think that's all I really need. I can just survive off that. Oh, and breakfast, what do you call those things? Breakfast smoothies? Not breakfast smoothies. Breakfast, whatever, some breakfast stuff. Just for me. I usually don't have big breakfasts, not usually. So I'll just get some yogurt or something for granola bars for breakfast. Sandwiches for the rest of the day and that should easily. If I can't make it two days on $48, there's something wrong with my eating. Maybe that's why I got this. Maybe to lose this, I've got to spend a little less money. Chevy, you want to go outside before I go in there? Would you like to go outside? You're not very convincing. You got to convince me. You want to go outside? Come here. Come here. Give me a hug. Give me a hug. Come here. Oh, good boy. Okay. I'll take you outside. I'll take you outside. You convinced me now. You convinced me. Good boy. You want to go? Should we go right now or should we go later? Should we go right now? Right now? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to take him outside and then go in there. Actually, look at this. I actually have a $48 Canadian and I have two whole American dollars. I could almost buy me a yacht with these things, you know, with the exchange rate. Almost. Let's get in there because I want to get back in here, set up my little office cubicle and then start working on some videos for you guys because my life never slows down. I just got to keep going, going, going. And it's not Sunday so we got to work. There's a fly in here. I'm going to have to catch. Oh, you're right here. No, I didn't get him. I'm not fast enough. Got to work on my speed. Okay. Let's put on our crocs. Yes, I wear crocs. My wife hates it. She's probably sitting there all beat red right now that I told you that. Yes, I wear crocs because they're super easy to slip on and slip off. They're my trucking shoes. What? Super. Look, look. See they're waterproof. They're light. I've used these for two years already. They've lasted longer than some of my work shoes. All right. I'll see you in a little bit. I'm going to run in there. Yep. A lot of hurry up and waiting going on this trip. So I have been hurrying all day as soon as they unloaded me. They only wanted to unload me at noon. So I got there at noon and I've been just busting my butt. Going as fast as I can. Trying to get to my pickup in Sundra before, you know, end of business hours 4, 4.30 or so. So I give them a call when I'm on the way. I'd be like, all right, I should be there around four o'clock. Like, are you guys still there? I thought maybe they might be leaving at four and I would understand that. But the guy's like, no, we left at 2.30. 2.30? You get to go home at 2.30? That must be nice. I get to go home next week. But anyway, so they leave at 2.30. So we're waiting around till tomorrow morning. He gets there around 6 a.m. I'll probably get there shortly after something like that. But it's fine, whatever. I just get a lot of sitting to do. I'm actually using this time to catch up on all my computer work and stuff. And I had like four videos I had to edit. I just got one more to do and then I'll be completely caught up with that. And I'll go to bed early, get a really good night's sleep, wake up tomorrow morning, refresh, renewed, go pick up my load and book it towards Fargo. About a thousand miles. And we'll get as far as we can. I'm sure we'll get into the U.S. tomorrow. Probably pretty close anyways. Hopefully there's no more delays. This trip has been all about delays, yikes. But anyway, it's part of the job. I still love my job. I love what I do. Like I'm in Olds, Alberta right now. I just went shopping. I showed you that already. I'm shopping over there and sitting over here enjoying the day. Went for a little bit of a walk. I do love my job. I get to see somebody. What other reason would I have to come to Olds, Alberta? No offense to you guys in Olds, Alberta. This is a beautiful town. That's not what I mean. I don't mean that there's no reason to come to Olds, Alberta. Really, what would bring me here other than work? I don't know anybody here. I don't know anybody around here. I have an uncle who lives in Wataskawin that I don't see very often at all. But it's towns like this that I probably would have never seen in my entire life had I not been a truck driver. And that to me is my favorite part of the job. I don't really care about the freight I'm pulling. Yeah, that's fun too. But it's not the most fun. The most fun is seeing these places that I know I would have never seen otherwise. But anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the short little video we had today. Didn't have much to talk about. Tomorrow will be a long day of driving. And like I've been telling you, we're just picking up some lumber and don't have to tarp it. It's going to be super easy. You just toss a few straps over it and you're done. By the time I get there, it should be less than an hour and we'll be on the way. So I hope you tune in tomorrow. If you're new here, welcome. Don't forget to subscribe. Hit that like button. If you want to be in the intro that you see in front of all my vlogs now, you can film it on your phone or whatever. Email it to me at TJV, like Trucker Josh Vlogs. TJV at email.com, not Gmail. Email.com. And I'll include it in an upcoming vlog and I'll probably rotate them in the future. So you'll probably see yourself more than once. Just don't forget that if you send me a video, you are giving me permission to use it in a monetized video. And if there's miners, I'd just appreciate it if you'd give me some parental consent in the email saying, hey, it's cool. It makes me feel a little, little better because I'm going to use them more than once. And if you make a video that's a little bit too big to send through email because I know that there's only a certain amount of space you can use in an email or you can only send a certain size of file. If it's too big, if you have Dropbox, download it onto your Dropbox, get the link and send the link to my email. I have Dropbox, then I'll be able to go to the link and download it. And we can do that. Keep it under, keep it somewhere between 15 to 30 seconds or so. Be good. Make it your own. Be creative. I love, I love including them in the vlogs. And usually at the end of the vlog here, I include the intro that's going to be at the beginning of the vlog in the next vlog. So you get, actually, you get in there twice.
