Don't forget to subscribe. I make new videos Pretty much every day for the most part You can see what life is like as a truck driver from my perspective I'm based out of southeast manitoba, which is in central canada western canada If you follow if you're from the u.s To give you a little bit of an idea of where that is if you follow i-29 straight north to the canadian border I live just an hour north up that road for the most part right right around that area there so Eastern north dakota and western minnesota are right south of me And if you're wondering what life is like As a truck driver up here in canada And the u.s I'm gonna follow my videos and find out I think i'm gonna need to get a new auxiliary cable for my radio here Does anyone else have that problem every time I get an auxiliary cable for the radio? It lasts about like three months and then it starts making that weird noise Exit 23a that's our exit just about there I'm gonna unload these in a record time 16 minutes that's my that's my record from when I stopped the truck to when I get back in the truck empty Here this week to compare day to day And this week fuel has gone up from monday to friday by 50 cents per us gallon I fueled up here for four dollars and 69 cents or four dollars and 70 cents On monday today's friday. I'm filling up for five dollars and 20 cents a gallon a us gallon That's 188 per liter. So it's still cheaper than in canada not by much just by a couple cents And i've been burning about the same amount of fuel every day get this So on monday, which was the third I put in 344 liters 91 gallons cost me four hundred and nine dollars us 558 dollars canadian on tuesday Burned a little less fuel only 287 liters 76 gallons Cost me 357 dollars us 482 dollars canadian October 5th, that did pretty good 293 liters 77 us gallons are both the same as tuesday. This is wednesday Instead of 357 us it cost me 379 us and five hundred and sixteen dollars canadian yesterday We spent 599 dollars canadian 436 dollars us today on friday. We spent four hundred and seventy dollars us $645 canadian So in one week with these crazy fuel prices because of everything going on on the other side of the planet right now Monday, we started off spending i'm going to talk canadian dollars here. We started off spending 558 dollars canadian Today for almost the exact same amount of fuel just a couple of liters up So 558 dollars on monday same amount of fuel today on friday cost me 645 dollars That's per day. So an increase of almost about 90 dollars on the 90 dollars per day more On friday than it was on monday So in us dollars, it cost me 410 dollars. Let's say rounds it up 410 dollars us on monday 469 or 470 dollars on friday. So in us dollars, it cost me 60 dollars more And that's just one week and they're still going up per day 60 dollars more per day us May not sound like a lot, but when you run this truck day after day after day five days a week 60 times five It's a lot of money Or in canadian dollars 90 dollars times five What is that 450 dollars more per week that i'm spending now? 900 dollars $1,800 more per month Just in the rise in fuel costs just from one you get it you get it. I'm not going to beat myself again Or i'm going to make myself angry wonderful Showed out to robert though who is here in a red Volvo right beside me Uh He said hi to me at the pumps. He recognized me. He was just here and then he took off I don't know where he went, but uh, he might I might meet him inside We've had two days in a row when the scale wasn't open just crossing back into canada here The weekend is not going to work. I won't let them I think they're going to be pretty proud of me. I think I lost some weight this week But if not, they're probably just going to laugh at me. I'm not going to let that ruin my weekend though This is the scale in emerson, manitoba just over the border from north dakota in the u.s It's open quite often, but the last two days it's been closed I guess three just isn't the term anymore Maze to get in here They redid everything and now it's a little bit confusing for people who haven't been here before Okay, bud today, man. Come on to the speed limit there. I don't know why Each there only gets better than going well over the speed limit With the scale house has to say about my weight today They better not laugh. Okay. Don't destroy my self-esteem right before the weekend Okay, it's Thanksgiving Next week. Oh boy next week. They are going to be so mad I'm going to show up here next week. I'm definitely going to be heavier We have three Thanksgiving dinners this weekend. I mean they might pull me in. I don't know They might want to do an inspection. They might be a little concerned But you know with it being Thanksgiving they should understand Okay, they're telling me to go forward. They want my next axle Thanksgiving truck of josh get out of here Get out of here. We don't want to talk to you. You go home and have some turkey It's an excited sneeze Oh, no more scales to from between here and home unless if the one of the 59 is open Knock on wood I was telling Pedro just this morning. I was like, yeah, you know the scales are never open all the way down to Waughton. What do you know today? The inspection station was open Just between Fargo and Grand Forks. They were doing inspections, but I got the bypass so We got lucky, but I shouldn't have said anything this morning. I jinxed it for everyone else.
