 Good morning everybody the guy in front of me and myself are in the gate Just like they said they would they open the gate at exactly 6 30 a.m. They're gonna open the door so we can start unloading inside at about 7 So we can take our tarps off out here because the weather is good. It's not raining Be ready for them and we'll be out of here in no time Shouldn't have any problem getting to my reload appointment south of Minneapolis Once I reload there, then I head back to Winnipeg I'm hoping if everything goes well I can be in Winnipeg tonight yet But the last couple of times I've picked up these loads. It's taken a little bit longer than that for It to clear for customs so I should be able to get up to the border And maybe we'll have to cross in the morning, but hopefully they're a little quicker clearing customs today so that I Can be on my way. All right, I'm gonna get up to take my tarps off And we're out of here Not bad And off we go My appointment in Minneapolis is at 11 a.m. No We moved it from 10 a.m. To 11 Which is good because now I'll get there just in time I have about two and a half hours of driving to go and I have two hours and 45 minutes to get there Let's hope for no big traffic jams in Minneapolis Nothing but the best Minneapolis nothing but the best of the street check-in It's moving pretty quickly though. So I am third in line just to check in and then we go around we park in like a staging area or a parking area and Then once your load is ready or once they're ready to load you they come get you from that area Bring you over to I guess that would be the staging area where you'd be loaded They bring you to another area. They load you up there They usually load you up pretty quick you throw your straps over tie it down go around to the other side you grab your paperwork You zip on out of here just like that Hopefully At any one of those stages there could be unforeseen undetermined unavoidable delays of Indefinite length so we'll see Usually it's pretty quick usually it's pretty quick, but I Have been known to sit here before for longer than I'd like to But if you think about it, I've already been sitting here longer than I want to and I just got here We got to get loaded and tie it down yet That's the thing about I did drive in freight for six years, right? All those were the days all you show up there You just back into a door they throw it in you close the doors boom. You're gone Don't have to worry about it. So you get your destination seal it up. Don't even look at it. Forget about it Flatbed is not the same. I like flatbed a lot better actually I've really grown to love it. I don't know if I'd go back to drive-ins Why not but drive-ins meers gravy now super easy we'll see I'm 35. I got a lot of career ahead of me yet a lot of years ahead of me Who knows what's gonna happen? I can't see myself doing anything other than open deck But never say never I've learned that I've learned that Never say never Except when you say never to say never don't say never Hopefully tonight all depending on customs clearance and if they can get my load cleared before I get there It's still pretty pretty good time in the afternoon. So the brokers should have lots of time to do their thing Make me a happy trucker and get my load cleared And then I have another reload in canora. I got to get to tomorrow afternoon yet. So busy busy busy. I like it awesome truck stop Got all kinds of chrome goodies inside here I'm just stopping here check my load open inch. That's good. I'll put another notch on these ones though Just tighten these guys up just a little bit Yeah, I could I could use one more notch Just crossed back into Manitoba, Canada That's awesome, that's a proper welcome, you know This guy here the Great North Dakota We both fueled up there Sadie gaff Manitoba It was a it was a rush day today and tomorrow is gonna be another day just like it From here. I got a I got a stop for my 10 hours. So I'm going back into the US tomorrow And I've stopped 10 hours like you know and From here, I'm gonna rush to Winnipeg right after my 10 hours are up Get this stuff off my trailer unload it rush back to canora Put more lumber on my trailer tarp it and rush back down to Brainerd because I got to unload there the next day First thing in the morning and then I don't know what my reload is But maybe I'll do another one of these Minneapolis runs but in that case I'm gonna have to rush down to Minneapolis that day again and then Rush back to Winnipeg. So it's it's been a rush rush week, but that's the way you like it, right? You don't want to be sitting around with nothing to do Busy is good during the week as long as you got some days off to look forward to or something You don't want to be rushing day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day but This has been a good week.
