 it's a sketch one. I'm delivering this freight in this roll tight step behind me and then I think we're heading up to the paw to grab a reload and head it back. So I slept at the co-op here in town. It was a nice quiet night, no issues. This freight behind me is a little heavy which is good in the winter time. It's a Canadian load so it's uh legal for Canadian weights. I'm probably sitting over 80,000 pounds. I think I'm about oh what did the scale say yesterday? I don't quite remember. I think I'm probably about 83,000 pounds. I'm allowed to be a total of 87,500 pounds gross. I've got a tri-axle on the trailer so that allows me to haul even more weight and there were no issues. This is the first roll tight that old blue is pulled. I used to pull them all the time while I was doing city work and that old Pete you know remember that. I kind of like this because these roll tights are blue they match the truck. It's almost like I planned it that way. So I looked up the paw from here. There's only one way to go. What I guess I could no yeah it says the sign even says there's only one way to go. What are you talking about confusing me? I guess I could go down that way that's a driveway it looks like and that's a private yard so yeah we'll take the right thank you. In 600 meters your destination will be on the right. I forgot how fun these things were to deal with especially in the winter time. I caught my workout this morning. I'm just going to clean off this trailer bed here. I've already closed everything. I'll put down this flap. We'll get our next load. If you guys watched my videos from last year you would have seen me pulling these around quite a bit. We call them roll tights but really their name is Conestoga. It's a Conestoga trailer named after the covered wagons that took the pioneers west when settling North America. They're very handy to have because then you don't have to tarp your freight but you still have a flatbed that you can load from the side. We have a whole division of just roll tights. I'm on regional open deck so usually I have an open deck trailer behind me but today's a special day. As you can tell they pick up every little piece of road but that's kind of the point to them. The other side's kind of dirty right but the freight inside is nice and clean. Now it just needs a good bath. Now if we go rolling down Saskatchewan highway 80 northbound. We're taking 80 all the way up the east side of Saskatchewan here where then we're going to dip into Manitoba. We're going to try to get to the paw before they close. It looks like I'm going to get there around four o'clock. Which isn't the greatest because I think they might close at four o'clock and if that's the case of course then I'd have to pick up in the morning. I already told them actually following Google today instead of Karen very often you got to be very careful when you follow Google maps in a truck. It doesn't always take you down truck routes whereas my Rand McNally GPS is programmed for just truck routes for the most part right. But today Karen up there wants to take me an extra half hour around the long way. Google knows the shortcut. I checked it. It's all paved roads. Russell! Every time I come through Russell Manitoba I think of Russell Peters comedian. You guys know him? It's hilarious. It's from Canada actually. Toronto area. I think I got to turn here right? What in the world? My GPS was just telling me to turn here but now it doesn't want me to turn here. Yes it does want me to turn here. Karen make up your mind! I have her volume turned off now too. You know what? Now she wants me to turn around again. What's going on here? Oh I'm supposed to go up to 83 over there. Not up Main Street. Okay okay well problem solved. We'll just turn left up ahead here. Let's get to the highway this way. See that's why I don't turn her volume off. Even though she annoys me so much I'm always telling her to be quiet. If I turn her volume off I miss my turn like that. That took a lot too long again. A lot too long. A lot too much time. A lot that took too much time. Five hours left on my full 16 hour day and I'm going to need every little bit of it and I'm probably still not going to make it. I have to deliver this to a spot near Deakin's corner east of Winnipeg. 650 kilometers away. Probably not going to make it but we'll get close. So I'm hauling a whole load of empty barrels. 14 skids I think with four barrels on each skid banded together. Someone near Winnipeg needs them and their hero. I will bring you your barrels. I'm your man. You can count on me. Where do we got to turn here? So this is still the paw. Manitoba. The is spelled the. Paw is spelled P-A-S. The paw. The paw. I want to go this way don't we? Now yeah we want to go this way. Karen I don't want to go that way. I have to keep going this way. Sorry. You see the little truck there with the arrow? They want us to go this way. We're going to turn left right up ahead here at the lights. I don't know why she doesn't want me to turn at the lights. Pretty sure that's what I'm supposed to do. It's a nice little town and well it's a nice manitoba town. All right see there's the little sign says the truck with the green circle around it. I can go any direction I want to. But hopefully people aren't going to pull up as far as that pickup because I'm going to have to drag my trailer around. Downtown Courthouse 1916. That's what it says on there. That's when it was built. It's over 100 years ago already eh? 110? No 105 years ago? 106? 107? I can't count. Nice truck. I don't know when I'll be getting a new truck. My truck's working just fine so I don't really see a need to buy a new truck. And it's paid off. That's the best part. I have no desire to get another loan for another pickup and I don't have the cash to spend on a pickup. I'm going to spend that on a house. Very tight getting all the way down there. Exactly six and a half hours left on my day all together. Like even if I stop that clock is still going to keep counting. And I have 646 kilometers from here to go. I'd have to go exactly 100 kilometers an hour the entire way. And there's a few towns we need to slow down for. Once we get closer. That's another six hours yet. What's the time? That'll be after midnight. Maybe I'll stop around midnight. We'll see. Which means I'll probably deliver you know mid morning tomorrow. Probably around nine nine o'clock or so nine ten o'clock. Head back to the yard. They need this trailer back in the yard. And I don't know if they're going to have anything for me because I've got to be home Friday. It's it's going to be a long weekend. I also need to put the new decals on my doors. I have the new ones with the town names spelt correctly. I ordered them myself. Okay so I cut it a little close. I forgot to fuel up in the paw. And I couldn't make it all the way to Winnipeg so I had to come around the long way and fuel up in Dauphin because I was already almost halfway here. I was already at the turn off to the 10 when I realized that it'd be way too long to go back to the paw to fuel. So I had to come down around the west side of the lakes to Dauphin where we could fuel here but we made it. I don't have enough fuel to get to Winnipeg. Maybe I would but just barely. I don't really want to risk that at this time of year especially any time of year. So we're here let's fuel her up. It's going to be a big one. Okay so before we go out I have all my stuff back here. I was in such a rush because I'm always in a rush. That's why my sweater here. Tired. I've been working for 14 hours today already or I've been awake 14 hours since I started my day anyways. Okay it's not that cold out of sweater. It'll be fine. I think it's about one degree Celsius. Okay where's my shoes? Oh I'm going to finally throw out my garbage. Fantastic. Let's throw this stuff out. Let's not forget that. They have garbage cans here right? Really better of garbage cans here. I don't I don't know if they've got a garbage can here. I like to hunt. What? I don't know good garbage cans. Let me put my shoes on. I'm going to figure this out. You hear that? There's a bunch of bacon over there in that trailer. Oh listen to that. Empty. Oh it's like hitting the bottom of the tank. Nice. So this is the petrol pass card lock if you haven't gathered that in Dauphin Manitoba. This one has a satellite. It's really handy though you can still only fuel one side at a time because this is Canada and not everything here makes sense. Once I turn this pump on that pump turns off you see. Lame. Okay this is going to be a while. Do a walk around and check our trailer. The Velcro is having problems sticking here. Beautiful. Beautiful. We're just going to give each tire a little kick here. Oh yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six. Wonderful. Here's so good. One, two, three, four, five, six inflated tires on the trailer. That's fantastic. That's good news. Oh and they do have a garbage can right here. Fantastic. Lots of fantastic stuff going on here. It's the word of the hour. Fantastic. We're at 138 liters and counting. It'll be quite a bit, quite a bit. You know what's weird about petrol pass? They don't give you a price. Like the price isn't posted here anywhere of the fuel. It doesn't print off on the receipt. It doesn't show on the pumps. I have no idea how much money I'm spending on fuel right now. I have to wait until my fuel receipt comes back at the end of the month to go back and look and enter it into my records of how much I actually spent here today. I don't know why. Why wouldn't they put the price on the pump, right? Like you don't want to scare us away or what? We're going to buy your fuel regardless. People need their stuff. Oh, there's Velcro here again as well. There we go. I just don't get that. Like take a look at this. What do I mean? Like here it's counting the leaders, right? Nowhere on here does it say the price. There's no signs anywhere posting the price. I can print the receipt off after. It's just going to show me the leaders. It's not going to show me the price. Does anyone else find that just kind of annoying? Or is it just me? Maybe I'm just tired and getting annoyed by everything. No idea how much we're spending here today. I just got to sort of do a rough estimate based on flying J prices because flying J posts their prices, right? So I usually go online. I look at the nearest flying J on my app. I look at the price and that's just what I'll enter in for now because it's got to be close to that, right? And then I have to wait till the end of the month and I get my whole invoice and my whole receipt from Petropas and then I can go back in my records and adjust the prices to what I actually paid, which is usually pretty close within a few cents per liter, but right? Look at this. This one doesn't even say anything. Weird. Oh, old blue is dirty. Look at her. Look at her dirty. I saw this great TikTok or a great reel or whatever you want to call it, YouTube short. Well, this is yesterday and there was someone on there saying, why do you wash your truck if it's just going to get dirty again, right? Well, the response to that is why do you wipe your butt if you're just going to go to the bathroom again? They said it in better words than that, but this is YouTube and I'm trying to keep my channel and family friendly here, but you get the just of my joke, right? Well, do you wipe your butt every time it gets dirty? Yeah, that's why you wash your truck every time it gets dirty. You keep everything clean. I don't want to walk around with a dirty butt. I don't want to drive around with a dirty truck either. We'll clean her up once we get to the shop. 376 liters so far. I know it gets dirty. You got to remember old blue is a work truck, the money making machine. We like to keep it pretty as we can, but you know, you can't shelter them from everything. They've got to get out there in the world and make some money. I just wish I knew how much I was spending. Petro Pass or any of you guys watching? By any chance, probably not, but if you are, can we change that? Like next time you guys do like big renovations and stuff, can we change it? Can we please know how much we're spending at the pump? That would be awesome. All right, so going off of Flying Jade prices in Portugal Prairie, we are pulling a roll tight trailer. It's November 23rd, 2022. We filled up for 655 liters. First off, we drove 1,562 kilometers since we last filled, 970 miles. 655 liters or 173 gallons US in Canadian dollars, $2.09 or $2.10 a liter. That was the Portugal Prairie price. Apply that here, that would be $1,374.89 Canadian. Costs the total of $0.88 a kilometer or $1.42 Canadian per mile to move this truck on this trip. That equaled 41.93 liters per 100 kilometers or 5.61 miles per US gallon. So that's why I put a note on there that I'm pulling a roll tight, because it's like a big parachute behind me again, right? It's not as bad as a van trailer, but it's pretty much the same. So we've got another two hours down the road or so. We're going to go to the co-op in Ericsdale, Manitoba. No time to waste. I've got two hours left on my clock, and I've got about two hours worth of driving to go. So let's turn our lights on so people can see us at night, and I can see where I'm going. Let's not drag our trailer over the pumps. Beautiful. Well, what's the word of the hour? Fantastic. Yes, let's go. At least we got full of juice. A little roundabout was my fault for forgetting to fuel in the paw. This is where we're going to park tonight. I'm really tired. So have a good night, everybody. Don't forget to subscribe. I make a lot of videos here on YouTube. Go check out my playlists on my main channel there, or on my main channel page. You can find a whole bunch of them. They're divided up by year or by season. We're in season nine right now, so I've been doing this for quite a while. I hope you stick around. I'll see you tomorrow.
