 from the fuel islands of Flying J in West Edmonton. So we spent early this morning getting loaded. I have a load behind me now that I'm just taking down to Niscue to a drop yard. And I'm gonna switch trailers, grab another empty trailer, come back into Edmonton, load up that other one like I told you yesterday and go home with it. That one should be a little bit less work. This one I had to, we have multiple levels in our trailer. I had to load both levels. And this next load I believe is just one level. So it should be simple enough. So let's get this thing going. We've got to get reloaded and head home, get this window fixed. So we spent the night just across the street there at the ESO because apparently the Flying Jake here wants you to pay to park overnight. I don't know if that's still true or not, but last time I went and asked at the field desk and they said, yep, you got to pay. So I'm like, nope, I don't. I'll just go across the street and park there. And 100 meters, turn right on 170 straight. I still refuse to pay for parking anywhere else to bring my business. But then again, I did go back to Flying Jay for their fuel. So I guess they got me anyway. Oh well, oh well. It's because this Flying Jay here isn't an actual Flying Jay. It's a, we've got a yield here, right? Yeah, there's no yield. It's a private truck stop that just has Flying Jay fuel. Take our way on to Highway 16 Yellowhead Trail, Trans Canada West. Yeah, it's in the perimeter. Take the entrance to the left on Highway 16 West. Just hold them that, Karen. You never listen. I'm gonna take what Edmonton's like West perimeter, I guess, around to the South and then Niskew is like directly south almost a suburb already of Edmonton. Just below the city. So it won't take too long to get there. Looks like it'll take about about a half hour. I've got a different box behind me now. They're wandering back into the city. I have to turn here. So this should be pretty quick, you know, just back in the dock, they load up the box, you close the doors, you go home. 600 meters, turn right on 51 Avenue. 51 Avenue. We call those avenues in the real world, Karen. Motorcycles, oh that's such a good site to say. 300 meters, turn right on 51 Avenue. I wish Manitoba Public Insurance would get their act together on motorcycles to make them actually affordable to ride. They're so expensive to insure, it's ridiculous. I like mine, mine's been parked for a couple of years now because it's just too expensive to insure. One of these years I'll get back to it. I'd actually like to trade it in for a Harley one of these years, but I don't want to sell it. So it's just sitting. To like in a budget properly, is it costs a fortune. It costs something like $1,800 a year to insure your motorcycle. And you don't have any other options. It's all public insurance. The thing is about $1,800, but that's probably going up by now. It could be over 2,000. And you have to pay that full amount if you want to do a monthly payment. You have to pay it in the six months of the riding season. So your insurance is like 350 to 400 bucks a month. It's just, I don't know. I've heard of other places where motorcycle insurance isn't so ridiculous. Come on, bud. You take your little fancy little trailer there and you give her. I think I want to turn here anyway. Guess I should turn my signaling device on like a normal human being. What's honking? This dog here is just loving going for a ride. I was hoping we could come up beside him. He's in this white blazer here. I'm just barking away. Just about to bite the air, I think. Diesel, you see that? What's he barking at, man? I think that's the equivalent of humans going, whew! On a roller coaster. He's just barking away. Keep to the left on, go over road. I'm being loaded. And notice how I'm just sitting here eating chocolate. This is my life now. They're going in and out of the trailer right now. Oh, oh, they're there. You left. So much easier. And I can just sit here in the sunshine, relax, eat some chocolate. And you know what I do once they're done loading me? I pull forward a few meters and I close the doors. Man, on flatbed, you'd have to be out there telling them where you want it loaded so that the weight is evenly distributed. Now if they load it with too much weight in front of the trailer, I just slide my axles forward a little bit. It balances out the weight. No worries. I'd be down there tying it down, strapping it, chaining it. Life's a lot easier now. It's not always this easy. Like I said, some of our freight, we have like a buy level trailer and it takes quite a bit of work to set it up. So it is quite a bit of physical labor still compared to what most drive-in loads would be. But this one's just one of those easy ones. You just back into the dock. They throw the stuff in the box. You close the box, you leave. It's a nice break. Well, I guess we can make ourselves useful in the meantime. I'm just gonna go back here and over to go. Get my cleaning supplies. Wow. Hopefully they don't drop them all over the place. Do some trucker Josh. Disinfecting and cleaning. Probably just use the, everything's disinfected already. I just wanna get all the dust off of here. Oh no, but I'm out of paper towel. That's right. I need to go back to my stash. Don't look. I don't want anyone to know where my stash is. It's a secret. You're still looking. I come locked and loaded, fully supplied. All right. So now we just give everything here a quick little squirt and a little wipe. And we at least make use of our time off here. Get all the dust off my dash. That creature I have with me. No, not myself. The smarter one, diesel. He is a dust magnet when he's outside. And then he comes into the truck here and he is a dust dispenser. Man, does he collect dust. And somehow it all leaves his body when he's in the truck. Like when he's in the truck, there's, I have to clean this thing so much more often and it's just dust. It's not even hair. Just he collects all the dust. Well, that's okay. Cause we love them anyway. Dust and all. It's a little hot in here. I can't roll down that window still. It's not even getting all the dust off of here. What's going on? I like to have everything clean. Cleaning with trucker Josh. Not what you expected when you clicked on my video today. I'm full of surprises. I like to keep you on your toes. You never know what to expect. I don't know what could happen tomorrow. Who knows? Alrighty, we're all loaded up sealed. We got her in gear. Brakes are released. The doors so we don't fall out. Really light load. Only 12,000 kilograms. So 25 for 26,000 pounds. That's what the paperwork said, but it really feels like there's nothing in there right now. But I saw it in there. There's freight in there. Now officially on the road home. We have 1,382 kilometers to go home. 300 meters, turn left on. Move the road. Quiet care. Home cares. It's about 14 hours of driving to get home. So we won't get home tonight. I have less than that available to me at driving. Turn left on. Move the road. But we will be back tomorrow afternoon. So this truck will be able to go in and get this window replaced on schedule with the shop tomorrow afternoon. And I'll probably be continuing on the next day. Maybe I'll even continue with this load. Who knows? It's going down to Corinth, Mississippi. Way down. Well, it's the Truman Show again. Soon as trucker Josh needs to make a corner, everybody gets on the road. There was literally no traffic as I was rolling up to this intersection. Now suddenly the whole city is on this one road. Excuse me. Okay, after this truck, this car, and then this truck, and I'm going for it. I'm going for it. Watch me go for it. Don't disappoint me. Where are you leading me? I didn't check your work. Meters, turn left on. 50 straight. No, I'm actually going to turn right. You want to take me through the city. I want to go on the freeway. Freeway is right. She wants me to go through all the stop lights and everything. No, thanks, Karen. Nice try. Can't fool me. Nice try. Trying to ruin my day. Turn left on. 50 straight. Yeah, well watch me turn right. You want to fight? I'll fight it, Karen. Right, she's going to be so mad. Guys, you just got to show her who's the boss though, right? Lots of traffic again. What time is it? It's 10 after 12. I guess everybody's out for their lunch breaks. Excuse me. After this guy. Here we go. Meters, make a U-turn if possible. Oh, this truck is so slow. When you just let it shift for itself. I have so much more acceleration if I just put it in manual and shift myself. I guess it's sort of like a fuel economy mode that it's permanently been set on. And I don't really have any say over that, so I guess I'll just deal with it. No acceleration. How do you know we're in Saskatchewan, I ask. This is how you know. That is a farm unit. One, two, three. Why don't you clarify for me how much is that unit there worth? It might be worth more than one and a half million dollars. Point us again. Let's welcome them. They've decided to give their lives in service to letting us know it's summertime, I guess. My windshield. Very tragic. It's summertime. There's bugs. I just wish I could get them to stay off my property. Go somewhere else. Why are you somewhere else there, mosquitoes? Go away. Mosquitoes are huge this year on our property, huge. Seriously, they can carry me away. Rolling through Saskatoon with our bug-filled windshield like a boss. I think I'm gonna take Highway 16 home. That's the two-lane highway. I think I'm gonna do it. Just for different, you know, don't change the scenery. It's 50 kilometers or 30 miles shorter, but it's two-lane and you have to slow down for many towns. So in the end, it's about the same time. And since I'm only limited to like 100 kilometers an hour anyways, I don't really gotta worry about getting stuck behind someone slow because I'm gonna be the slow one, unfortunately. But I'm doing the best I can, guys, as fast as they let me go. I think I'm gonna take the 16. We'll see. The intersection's coming up right here. For once in a while, I like to sneak down there if I'm not in a particular hurry or anything and just wanna see something different, you know? I don't know, it's been a pretty relaxing day. It's just rolling across the prairies again. What can I tell ya? It's a bunch of flat land. I find it extremely boring, but it's home. There's those of you in my comment section who say you're not from the prairie, so you actually find it very interesting how flat it is here. It's flat. We'll say that. It's very flat here. You can see your dog running away for three days. That's a perk. You'll never lose your dog. I thought this was the intersection, or it looks like we're gonna go a little further. But all the scales have been closed today, so that means it's been a really good day. And they've been enjoying some time at home as they should. Instead of sitting in their scale house, staring at me, making me nervous, even though I have nothing to hide, I still don't like people staring at me. It's weird. If I had a V8, though, I'm pretty sure that was a V6. I'm pretty sure. I thought it was a tuner coming up beside me, when it was a little baa, baa, those cars. Oh, it pulls up as I was only as a charger. You're missing a couple of cylinders there, but you need at least two more. It's not a motor, unless it's got eight cylinders. Right? Here's our exit. Highway 16, Yellowhead Trail, Eastbound, towards Yorkden. Hey, everybody, watch out. Here we come. I've only got five hours and 16 minutes available to me on my clocks today. So I'm not too sure how far we're gonna get yet. Most of the time, I gotta shift manually in this truck because the transmission does not know what it's doing. Slide right on, Highway 16 West End, slide right in 560 meters. Hey, everybody, I didn't see any of your signals on, so I'm assuming none of you want to come into this lane. You're giving me space, thank you very much. I appreciate it. So it's four lane divided for a few miles and then we're left with two lane highway, pretty much all the way to Manitoba. We're all the way to Portageal Prairie and Central Manitoba. Let's see what happens. Here we go again with the loose stones in Saskatchewan. This time it's on a two lane. So you have no choice but to pass the traffic as the traffic's coming at you. Speed limit is 60 kilometers an hour here and what they've done is they've laid loose stones, gravel and rocks on the highway. Doesn't look like it's as bad as it was when my window got blown out. Maybe that's not what this was at all. Maybe it was just like that construction site there, some stones and rocks. They had signs here saying 60 kilometers an hour, loose stones, no passing. But here we got a 100 kilometer an hour sign coming back up, so it must not be the same thing. Okay, good. Good, I thought it was another zone like that. Turned out I was wrong, it was just that construction site, I guess. They were worried about gravel being dragged onto the highway from those machines. Still, we gotta end that. Somehow get them to stop fixing. I think they call it chip and seal, right? Is that what they call it? Where they lay the gravel down and then they just trust that people will slow down and they never do. And then stuff like this happens, donkulous. Exciting as I thought it might be, but I just know what I'm talking about. They keep fixing roads that way. It drives me nuts. Wrecks everyone's vehicles. Well, weasel, that's all she wrote. I am so tired. We are in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. What a long day, that was about a 12 hour day. No, more than that. Plus my afternoon, that was a long day. I'm going to bed right here. I'll see you right here. Tomorrow morning, I'm too tired to say anything else.
