 good morning everybody just got ourselves all ready to go here we're in uh black river falls wisconsin just check the oil check the truck make sure everything was working we've got to deliver into chicago as soon as possible today and then apparently we're deadheading it all the way into ontario to st catherine's which i'm not very happy about but the load that is there has some very very nice numbers attached to it which is going to make up for it more than make up for it so got to get ourselves there so that we can get to that beautiful beautiful load that looks so nice on paper hopefully it looks just as nice on my trailer so let's get going let's get out of here let's see if we can get out of this parking lot this parking lot desperately needs a good scraping it looks like oh this guy's like right in the middle of the driveway okay all right whatever this is where you want to park it looks like they scraped the yard uh early in the morning when there was still when it was still packed with trucks right because like the main areas like this are kind of clear not very well they're they waited for the ice to compact down now it's all bumpy that's okay though but uh the main areas are plowed through but most of the parking areas are still covered in snow and you can tell that they just sort of plowed around the trucks that were there so they came way too early and weren't able to clear the whole lot because it was full of trucks if you come at like midday around noon or one o'clock the parking almost empty and you'll get a lot better job clearing the yards i don't know who they hired to do that obviously someone who isn't familiar with when the truck stop is empty why come and clear the yard when it's full oh see if we can get onto uh this road here now i gotta make a left turn there's a walmart just off to our right over there sure wish we had time to drop in there but maybe after our delivery we have to make sure we get this delivery off first at least it's a very nice day to be on the road it's only minus five celsius outside much better than being at home where it's minus 15 it's only supposed to get warmer from here by the time we get to ontario tonight it's supposed to be plus four he used to travel this all the time almost every week when i was on drive ads i was just thinking about that yesterday last night i sort of missed those routes going down to the south i was in georgia all the time Mississippi and now that i'm on flatbeds we don't have much freight i guess in that area or maybe they just don't send me down there because they got other guys taking care of it and they need me to take care of the stuff up here i don't know but i miss being down there i was actually watching youtube videos before bed of uh road rage in america and uh truck accidents in america and this one video is watching was all about accidents in south carolina maybe really miss being down there work has kept me up here for over a year already and mostly i'm just in western canada and the northern midwest of the us already usually just wisconsin minnesota north dakota the odd time i'll head to western canada through montana and washington state but i sort of miss being able to roam a little further but at the same time it's nice sticking a little bit closer to my region just so that i can be home a little bit more regularly because when i was on drive ads man i was going for my average trip was two to three weeks even then even when i was single before i'd even met brit not even then it was a little bit long especially when you have a house you own a home at home you gotta take care of the yard take care of the house i've got a lot of work to do at our house now now i'm married and we're trying to have a kid once we uh brit does get pregnant it'll be nice to sort of be on this show where i'm home usually about you know every week when i used to come through here a few years ago every week this interstate everything is interstate 90 right under construction all the way from chicago all the way out to rockport i believe that's the town name there right and it was just brutal it took them years to complete but they did it actually pretty quick because you know if manitoba were to take over or take on that big of a project it would take them 30 years to start laying the concrete there was a four lane divided highway from winnipeg to just south vilda shane in manitoba it's a highway that i traveled a lot while i was in high school and when i was younger uh they had to twin it and they should have twinned it further but it was this stretch of maybe 10 miles maybe it took them a decade to finish it after they broke ground on it ridiculous but this highway here what's this five lanes across it is a toll road so i mean it's it's got a little bit of extra financial backing obviously but i'm sure glad that it's all over and in full use now oh look i can see downtown from here now there's the what is that this is it still called the sears tower where's this call something else the other one's the john hancock tower or they might have changed the names again they changed names right now i know it as the sears tower it used to be the tallest building in the world right at least used to be the tallest building in the united states that was before you know uh july in the middle east started building buildings halfway to heaven you know the tallest building in july the berg califa tallest building in the world right now is like over 200 stories tall and there's some other prince out in arabia somewhere who's going to outdo him and build an even bigger one it should be done in the next five years or so it's not insane from what i've heard they hire western engineers to go out there and design these buildings and build them for them but they have so much money from the oil right that's a topic for a whole different kind of video i'd like to say it's good to be in chicago again but we're in chicago again so i don't want to lie to you a lot of good people here but traffic sucks you just wait you just wait this is the good part it'll get bad yet i promise that's a promise i know i can keep well we just went inside the building here we're in their yard right now just maneuvering around i got to get into position so they can unload me i think we went a little further than we thought i don't know if i passed out for a couple of days or whatnot but i swear i mean i was going to chicago somehow i ended up in mexico nobody here speaks i remember this place i've been here before nobody here speaks english they're all mexican they have like mexican music playing in the background apparently we're in little mexico at least i don't have to communicate that much i just gotta get them to unload the trailer and sign a bill and then i can go but i remember this place from last time so i gotta see if i can make it around this little corner here i don't think i can just off to the left oh no there's no way there's no way okay well i'll just back out through here whatever if i drove in i can back out that's my rule if i got in here i can get out tell me i can't watch me that mexican music stuck in my head i need a sombrero would that offend them you think or would they actually be happy that i'm embracing their culture i don't know you never know these days is hit or miss fun fact for you though i'm part mexican my mom was born in mexico on a midnight colony there in the province of shawawa i believe and so she is mexican she's a mexican birth certificate so i'm allowed to make those jokes i'm gonna make it we don't hit the fence on the other side if i was worried about it i would get it should be quite a ways away there we go but yeah my uh my dad was born in perigway my mom was born in mexico my grandparents on my dad's side and my great grandparents were canadian and i believe my great grandparents on my mom's side were canadian as well but for one reason or another uh they left canada for a generation or two before coming back trying to get myself positioned here so we can get it both sides so we have to talk as little as possible because i really don't think this guy's gonna speak english i just want to make it easy for him do you want to know something interesting neither of my parents speak spanish neither did my grandparents who brought them there they spoke german they lived in uh german areas of mexico and perigway so we don't got any spanish language in our family but us germans man we're everywhere dean back on the road let's get out of chicago shall we i'm gonna stop at a gym and oh it should take me about four and a half to five hours to get there it's in a town called schwarz creek i think just west of flint michigan i'm gonna stop at a snap fitness there and uh go in and do some strength training today sun's gone down already we're here in uh was it schwarz creek or schwarz something michigan just west of flint michigan everybody knows flint michigan right even us across canada we've heard about flint i guess i won't be drinking any water around here i don't have they fixed that already what was wrong with something about the water out here i'll just play it safe and not drink any tap water there's a snap fitness just down the road here and they have some parking for me so i'm gonna go and swing in there real quick i think i've got about an hour and 15 minutes that i can spend in there can't spend too long because i got to get to the canadian border before my american hours of service run out just off to the right here there it is snap fitness 24 seven all right here i come like a boss i actually need to get into their uh little lot here i think i wanted to take a different entrance they have a better entrance in the back but this will work we're gonna go work out first look at this i actually get some pretty good parking here nice see there is right on the end there snap fitness i can't take you in there again remember their their rules are no cameras and that makes sense i'll let you know how it was when i get out well i did my back shoulders and arms today whoo it's been a long time since i've done that i can barely lift this water right now huh huh i'm just beginning you just wait if i keep doing this and this turns into a proper habit oh yeah feels good though everything feels tight i missed that feeling i had a gym membership way back when oh probably almost 10 years ago already feels good to be back in there all right let's keep going we got uh an hour and 40 minutes to get us to canada we have 124 kilometers so better better step on it we're coming up to the bridge to canada from port here on michigan to sarnia ontario i have to pay a toll here i'm prepared though i stopped for cash just a little while ago we stopped at the pilot to grab some fuel in america before going to canada because fuel down here fuel down here so much cheaper so we'll just pay our fare go over the fancy little bridge and be back home well sort of southern ontario doesn't really feel like home because home is in manitoba that's quite a ways away it's a big country so i guess technically i'm home oh wow look at this there's a long line up here just to get on to the bridge it's actually raining out here that's a pleasant change just got to pay for the bridge here first this isn't the border yet blue water bridge it even has blue lights on it and so as soon as we cross this river we are officially in canada i haven't gone over this bridge here in so long i miss i said that today already right or was he as best as it today i miss my old routes maybe i can suggest a request coming out here more often again especially for this load that i'm going to be picking up here in st catharines it's a really nice load it's got really good numbers i would gladly come out here and pick it up as often as i can where's the center of the bridge where is it is it right here oh that's french on those signs yep we're in canada again what's this sign say welcome to canada yeah welcome to canada bienvenue oh canada for all of you french-speaking americans bienvenue welcome to canadia everybody you excited you feel all potholes potholes i should have expected that a lot i missed those metals that were huge take ramp to highway why would they just leave those there all right so we have uh more time on our clock now because canadian hours of service allows me to drive an extra two hours and i had get this i had 10 minutes left of my 14 hour clock when i got to the border here so just just in the nick of time so now i have a 16 hour day in canada instead of 14 so i have an extra two hours added on so i can get a little ways down the road yet i'm not too sure where i'm going to spend the night what's beeping what is that oh man police activate amber alert victim is rhea rojkumar age 11 suspect is rupesh rojkumar age 41 vehicle is a silver honda civic plate hash arbb 598 last known
