 Hi, I'm Larry. This is Beth, and this is Tucker We're in Marshalltown, Iowa USA, and we watch Trucker Josh Vlogs on YouTube Somewhere in there is a weasel. Weasel? Oh, there he is! Morning diesel. Good morning everybody. I am feeling great today. I had a great sleep I'm excited to be going home And I'm excited to actually have gotten a decent night's sleep. We've been here a while now. It's 8 30 in the morning We got here yesterday. What time we get to like five in the afternoon or something? I slept most of the entire time Feels so good. So here's our load We got this steel. Oh diesel. Hey, you shouldn't go under there. Don't go between the wheels of trucks. That's not safe I'll do that. Got this steel It's actually pretty easy load to tie down. It was all pretty level and I'm taking that back home And off we go One full day and a little short day, and we're home, and then we got a lot of work to do at home But we're gonna have a lot of fun, too. Get back on the road. So this truck stops actually pretty nice That's the Edgerton truck stop in Wisconsin. It is right along the interstate They had decent showers Lots to this morning, Wisconsin. I was gonna pull into the blue beacon there and Give her a bath, but I checked the weather up ahead Just to make sure that I wasn't, you know, washing it in vain For no reason. Apparently, as you can see up ahead of us here, I couldn't see it at the time But I asked Google what the weather's like in Minneapolis up ahead And apparently they're having a thunderstorm right now, and it's gonna be pouring rain all day So that would have been pointless to wash it, but I do want to get the truck wash before I get home So I asked Google What's the weather like in Fargo, North Dakota? And there is clear skies and no rain expected for the next week So apparently we're gonna get through this thunderstorm before we get there and they have a blue beacon in Fargo, North Dakota I'm gonna stop there tonight and wash the truck there. That way I can show up at home with a nice clean truck And not waste my money There's a little tip for you from Trucker Tosh. You don't want to waste your money Check what the weather's like ahead before spending However much into washing your truck. For me what I do in a typical wash, babe, or a wash I'll go for just a regular truck wash and engine wash and undercarriage Which usually brings me to about 65 to 70 dollars US, which is close to $90 Canadian could go up to a hundred dollars Canadian Just for one wash, so you don't want to throw that money out the window and just you know throw it into the rain Fargo, North Dakota, their blue beacons a little more expensive. I think it's 75 dollars US there for my typical wash, which is Whatever you want to charge more. I thought they were all the same, but no It's actually different locations charge different prices. Maybe it's different taxes in different states I don't know what the reasoning is, but It is what it is. So we'll pay a little bit extra, but at least It won't be just throwing throwing the money out to the storm, you know But we're here in Wisconsin right now. We're getting close to Black River Falls We'll get very close to the Canadian border tonight, and we'll get home tomorrow You see good thing I didn't wash the truck I'm getting a nice natural pre-wash here And we'll go use the soap and stuff over in Fargo later today Perfect. I would have been so upset if I wasted all that money and then drove into this Haha, I don't always remember to check the weather ahead, but glad I did today It's supposed to be like this all the way through Minneapolis And somewhere between Minneapolis and Fargo Headed west. We're supposed to pull out of this storm I'll take this over snow any day Things have escalated Everybody, please turn your headlights on in this weather Otherwise, I can't see you in my mirrors These guys in front of me are making me a little bit nervous They keep slamming on their brakes because they're scared of the water And I'd like to go around them because of that because I don't want to suddenly, you know Have them screech to a stop in front of me. I don't trust them But I also don't trust people in this lane to have their headlights on And if I turn over and they don't have their headlights on I can't see them. I'll run them right off the road There might be somebody there right beside me. I have no idea I just sort of got to trust that people turn their headlights on when it's raining Because in the US for some reason They don't have automatic driving headlights Like in Canada, as soon as you put your vehicle in gear your headlights come on, right? That's a lot. They're called daytime running lights You always have to have lights that come on as soon as your vehicle's in gear But in the US you can drive with all of your lights off Like no lights at all You can put it in gear and your headlights won't come on unless you turn them on Or if you have automatic lights or something, but that's so weird So in the States I never, you know, you never know if people remember to turn their lights on or not So here's your reminder when it's raining, turn your headlights on Actually turn all your lights on so that your taillights are on as well Because in Canada, even though you put it in gear and your running lights turn on That doesn't turn on your taillights And if you don't have your taillights on and weather like this It's hard for me to see you in front of me as well I don't want to run into you So just turn all your lights on You should always have them on anyway as soon as your vehicle's on If your vehicle's equipped with automatic lights Just turn to the automatic lights I don't know why people don't do that Just trying not to kill anybody out here Got us some military here again Moving from one base to the next I guess They always run a little under the posted speed limit But always in a straight single file line I wonder what's in here, look at this Those trucks are just huge That is awesome You'd think they'd have American flags flying all over it, you know But huge machinery Military convoys like this are not uncommon to see in the US For those of you who have never been here You might, I don't know, in Canada we don't see these very often I don't know how it is in Europe or Australia Probably not as common But, you know, they travel down the road They aren't armed Well, they're armed in their vehicles obviously Practically everyone on this road is armed But the military, they don't travel along with like live ammunition In their big tanks and guns anyway As far as I know But who knows if they did I wouldn't care They're the good guys Just giving her I think this is the lead vehicle here I was thinking of joining the military in Canada I even looked into joining the US military I found there would be more opportunities with the US military But it's not easy for a Canadian just to go down and join an American military A lot of paperwork A lot of paperwork involved A lot of money But in Canada I was thinking of joining I wanted to be, to put it simply Like a tank driver It's called a coyote It's like a light artillery vehicle L.A.V To be a driver of one of those I thought it would be kind of fun At the time I was 18 We were at war in Afghanistan And the war in Iraq Was just raging on Some beautiful skies here in North Dakota Just arrived in Fargo Just left Minnesota We're going to first go a little south Go to Flying J, fuel up our tanks Then we're going to go a little west To the Blue Beacon At the Petro Or the T.A. Whatever I think at the Petro Get a truck wash And then we're going to head home See how close we can get to home tonight yet Probably go to Badham I guess either Grand Forks Or just North Between Grand Forks and the border We'll do the rest tomorrow Now let's see What fuel prices are here I haven't checked yet It's just one mile south Of the intersection of the I-29 And I-94 Off the I-94 Onto the I-29 south now Flying J's just up on our right I can't see the sign yet They usually have decent fuel prices here Compared to other parts of the states Compared to California We'll say they got really good gas prices here So the last time I fueled was in Alexandria A few days ago So we went from Alexandria, Minnesota All the way down to Evansville, Wisconsin And then all the way back up here to Fargo A little over Between a thousand and fifteen hundred miles I'll have to look at exactly how much But definitely over a thousand miles I can usually go about fifteen hundred miles Between Phillips If I'm doing good on fuel It all depends on how my fuel economy is What freight I'm pulling How the wind is You know But I usually fuel up about every thousand miles Two dollars and seventy nine nine I gotta see what you're doing there It's two dollars and eighty cents per gallon For diesel Two dollars fifty four cents For gas Probably around what? Sixty five cents per liter Canadian That's five seventy cents Something like that Somewhere around there Spent many nights here before Not tonight though I'm looking forward to getting a truck wash I always love getting a truck wash It's like getting a bath Sort of getting a massage I don't know, I like it So we're just telling the E-Log right now That we've uh Stopped here to fuel Oh, it's nice to have a little bit of a break Shut her down I wonder what the temperature is outside right now Okay Google What's the temperature outside? The current temperature in Saban is twenty four Twenty four degrees Celsius That's a much better temperature than yesterday Yesterday was thirty four down in Wisconsin I got a hair in my eye That's annoying Not fun Hopefully it'll come out Sometimes I get one stuck in my eye And I can't get it out And I just have to go to sleep And somehow during the night my body just Cleans out my eye Feels like we got it out now though Alright, let's go fuel up Counting in US gallons It's gonna be quite a bit We were quite empty You can fuel both sides at once Here in the US Goes a lot faster One hundred and sixty five US gallons Alright, so I did the conversions here That is six hundred and twenty four and a half liters The price is ninety seven cents Canadian per liter And the total cost in Canadian is six hundred and five dollars And eighty six cents Canadian So that was one thousand six hundred and ten kilometers But I did idle last night Because it was so hot So wasted a bunch of fuel there But at least I got a good night's rest Right, the best I've had all week It was great My dog didn't get heat stroke Speaking of, you need some water there buddy Don't you? Quickly throw that in your bowl before we leave So it's exactly one thousand six hundred ten kilometers Pretty much exactly one thousand miles Between fill ups there That's how far I can go on That amount of money and that amount of fuel Usually give or take Let's go get our truck washed Streakin' beakin' I kinda wish the blue beacon was at this truck stop This truck stop is right on I-29 And I stop here a lot more often I don't go to that Petro there as often Except to get a truck wash That is what it is Look at these machines Woo That's what I thought It's only half a machine All the other halves on the other truck Wow That would be fun I'm not gonna lie That would be fun Alright, well I guess there's no point In washing the windshields and getting Truck wash Petro's just off the road Petro's just off the road right here Hopefully there's not a big line up at the truck wash There usually is But if we got lucky tonight It's all the way at the back Got two bays Looks like there might not be that big of a line up No way The entrance and you go right here This blue beacon enter Sometimes it's confusing to find The blue beacon entrance at a truck stop Let's see Over here There's nobody here There's nobody in line Yeah, right Yeah, right Wow Let's see All the way around the back Let's see if there's anybody there I think I'm just gonna be able to drive right in Holy smokes I'm excited One guy in line But there's one bay that doesn't have any line That is amazing Do you guys ever get this kind of luck? This bay here is closed But there's only one truck in line Just one And I think he's gonna be rolling in right away Wow Diesel It's our lucky day Could go buy a lottery ticket Too bad I can't play the ones in the States Look at this vacuum cleaner out here Apparently you gotta pay for a dollar I guess that's why you wait I got a vacuum that I paid for in the truck already Thank you very much Just about done here We're just getting rinsed off Then we'll be on our way I'm not sure where I'm gonna stop tonight So I'm gonna have to run in and grab Something to eat for when I stop And for first thing in the morning Just make sure I got food There's no food in the truck And I don't really wanna stock up Because I'm going home for a while I'll stock up before I leave on my next trip All good All right, here we go Very nice Very nice A clean truck again I don't really wanna go too far either Because The bugs are gonna be coming out now in the evening And they're gonna Dirty up the whole front of my truck What can you do though? I'll have to get further than far ago I don't wanna just stop here I just had a coffee So I'm just wired I'm not gonna be able to sleep if I stop here A few bugs never hurt anybody, I guess Hey, it's Dustin from Dallas, Texas Delivering a bunch of airplane tires If you're watching TJV on YouTube Like and subscribe Have a wonderful day
