It's always a good sign. It's gonna be a good day if you wake up exactly where you parked So I'm done my pre-trip. I'm just sitting here being lazy It's time to get back to work. We got to get on the road. We got a long way to go We got three thousand four kilometers to go to our destination That is Let's just round it off to three thousand. Oh, that's a two thousand miles right now 1863 miles to go to our destination. It is now Friday now Saturday Now Friday, it's Friday When I'm filming this Friday, so we got three days to get there and deliver this Monday morning Then we have a new load that we're picking up in Edmonton, Alberta where we're going and that's taken us to Appleton, Wisconsin, which is Another let's let's check this out Appleton, Wisconsin Which is I think it's by Green Bay. Yes, just south of Green Bay, Wisconsin And from Edmonton it is It's thinking 2433 kilometers, but I'm gonna be passing by through home So about twenty five hundred kilometers plus the three thousand we have now we have five thousand five hundred kilometers assigned to us that we need to Get done in the next week So that's a good week that is a really good week to say fifty five hundred kilometers divide by one point six one That is three thousand four hundred and sixteen miles in a week Bring it on We still got these spent drums on us On the trailer behind us Taking three of them out there to Alberta, so they make them here in Ontario and they make them and they send them to Alberta That's sort of the story of Canada though. I was taught this in school, but now that I'm a truck driver I can actually see it play out Eastern Canada is all about mostly about manufacturing they take The raw products that are in the West and they bring them east to manufacture them And then they send the finished product back west and the West is about the raw materials They mine the raw materials send it out east and then it gets sent back west so back and forth and back and forth, you know That's where I come in. That's my job So I don't know where the steel for this these cement drums came from but I wouldn't be surprised if they came from somewhere out west I'll try to get on here. Excuse me. Sugar Josh wants to start his day. Everybody get out of his way You know the law Steer clear when trucker Josh is near Road, I just need to get somewhere. I have somewhere to be Oh, this is a turning lane. I'm in well silly me. Let's get in the actual lane. There we go Looks like it's gonna be a rainy day today It's okay with me. I work indoors. Well, this is rather unpleasant. I Thought we were done with this stuff Apparently up here in northern Ontario. They're still in winter time Spring has not sprung here yet So I don't know how long the snow was gonna last for but it's been getting worse and worse We're about half an hour from campus casing We got a long way to go today yet got to get about another 800 kilometers or 500 miles behind me I want to stop in campus casing for a shower I Don't know if I need to keep pushing through this is gonna get worse. I want to get through it and out of it I'm gonna stop for fuel anyway, and when we're there, I'll check the forecast and see what it says. I should have timed at least Stop for a shower. I mean if I if I can't stop today, I'll have to stop tomorrow Either way I like to stop for a shower every day the only time that I don't is if I'm in a Extraordinary hurry or if there's just no facilities So we'll see what this weather is gonna throw at us and if we need to rush to get through it or not Maybe it'll start getting better soon Just looking up ahead here. We got maybe a mile visibility Not good So we just fueled up here in campus casing and it's gotten worse. It's turned out to be an all-out blizzard here so We're gonna go a little ways down the road But first I have to check online apparently There's rumors going around on the truck stop here that apparently the road might be closed up ahead So I'm gonna go and check that out now What's rattling over there? It's a nice no rattling in my truck How dare you? What's that nice? Where's it coming from? I don't know where it's coming from Well according to the internet we can probably get up to Hearst, but the highway might be closed there Hearst is about another 60 miles or so 70 miles up the road and I at least try to get there Apparently there's a jackknife semi on the other side of Hearst, of course there is Soon as you get a few snowflakes you get these drivers out here who've never seen snow before just got here and whoop Jackknife to cross the road This is not what I was planning not what I was planning at all So the plan is to get to Hearst and take it from there We'll check the the internet there see if the highways open But it looks to me like we'll probably be spending the night there, which isn't good because I Have an appointment with a crane Monday morning to get these cement drums off my truck. It's kind of hard to reschedule that over the weekend Oh Boy, oh boy Just hoping Friday it'll all be okay. I can't believe it's still snowing. I'm kind of upset. I'm kind of upset Winter was over. It's isn't supposed to snow anymore Here we are in Hearst Unbelievable unbelievable diesel It's unbelievable man. Just like you said except I can believe it because I can see it man. He's right there Good point diesel. I guess it is believable. I mean you can't deny it But that sucks Indeed it does man Well from what I've heard the highways are open so we're gonna keep trucking. I'm just gonna double-check it one more time 511 Ontario hey 511 Ontario Road conditions closures and incidents All right, it looks like it's supposed to get better really soon going that way For another little while up to about peg wah Partly snow covered partly ice covered visibility good no drifting snow Does look like it's all right and by the time we get past long lock before we get to nip a gun Everything's gonna be cleared up and down there the road is bare and wet and Then it turns into bare and dry at nip a gun. So all we got to do is just get through this Good times are ahead we can do it It seems bad right now, but Supposed to get better sorry diesel didn't mean to elbow your butt there Sorry, man. I apologize Such a good boy. You are such a good boy The best boy I might I might say don't tell Chevy or Frank, okay? It's our secret Okay, I don't want to do this, but Shoot maybe I should clear off those wipers They're all full of ice all right Both had a bathroom break. It's time Time to power through this as they say I think that's what they say it's time to get through this anyways We can do it. Oh boy if we don't fall into one of these potholes first You don't hear from me again. I got lost in a pothole You're gonna need some help getting out Yikes potholes Insane okay, so we're keeping the window as cold as possible The windshield so that the snow just bounces off Instead of getting stuck to the wipers and stuck to the windshield I'm about to go through the most secluded section of highway As well so Let's hope everything is good here According to all the information I have the highway is still open and it is supposed to get better And I were to up the road I got places to be so we're gonna push on through Slow and steady Coming into Nippagon here now over this one big bridge here now where they got these really bright blue LED lights on Like that blind you at night Especially when your eyes are so tired the camera doesn't do justice really those are really bright It's a bridge. It's for sure especially when you have to build it twice, right? And thank God we made it we stopped in Nippagon I wanted to go a little bit further But that's no storms slowed me down quite a bit and I was getting pretty tired so the next stop would be at the Flying Jay just before Thunder Bay or That petro pass on the other side of Thunder Bay at the corner of the 102 and 11 17 there I decided to stop here at the petro pass Just got myself going today for the next day did my pre-trip and we're ready to start rolling So I gotta say goodbye to you guys.
