 Look out my bunk window. I see that thing parked right there. That's a truck. Look at that thing, it doesn't even fit in the frame. Maybe it's got a kitchen in there, a bathroom in there. Oh, we got like a king size bed in there. Who knows? I would walk around and show it closer to you, but the guys in the window, the windows are open and we gotta get going. We gotta deliver our freight. So this beautiful piece of engineering that we're traveling over right now, Memphis, Arkansas. Because that makes sense. Memphis. I didn't know they had ferros here. Going to the east side of Memphis. Oh, I moved over for nothing. Let me back in. I don't want to be in this lane for our wheelers. I gotta get out of this lane. I gotta get out of this lane. 1.7 kilometers. Take exit 1E, on right, to I-240 south. Then keep left. I-240 south. That is a good breakfast. Right, Diesel? Maybe, maybe not. We're just here in Memphis, waiting to get unloaded. It's one of those hurry up and wait situations. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. We want this freight yesterday. We get here. You'll have to wait. I see. It's just how it goes. That's just how the industry goes. It's always, always hurry up and wait. Better to be here early or on time and wait than be late. Where's that driver going? Where's the driver? Nice and round over there. Don't take my door, driver. Don't take my door. I'm waiting for one driver to pull out. And then once he's pulled, oh, there he goes right now actually. Then I'll have my door open and then I can back into the dock because I should get ready to back into the dock. Driver tried to steal my door. I had to go and let her know. Hey, it's my door. He's like, oh, I don't usually have to wait. I usually just back right in. I was like, oh, well. There's a lineup over there. See those like five, six trucks over there? Yeah, we're all waiting. He just cut right in front of everybody and tried to back into the door. Oh well. He wasn't mean about it at least though, so he had a good attitude. But he's getting out of my way now. All right, so finally got into Mississippi. I don't get to come down to Mississippi that often. We don't have as much freight going down here. We're gonna be crossing through Alabama into Georgia. Alabama I go to even less. So it's kind of a special day. You're gonna see two states that I hardly ever see. It's through Birmingham, Alabama. I have a llama. Poor guys for the life of them can't get those things undone. Here, why don't you just drive right in front of me here and ruin my shot? That's okay. They were tugging each other. One guy had one side at first and the other guy had the other side. They were tugging on. I was waiting for it to break apart for them to both go flying in each direction. So we're here at Love's Travel Plaza. We haven't stopped at Love's very often in the past. So I'm not very familiar with them. But I've now got to go ahead or the, what would I say? They've told me that we're getting better prices on fuel at Love's. So I figured I'm gonna start fueling at Love's. They're giving us cheaper juice. Yeah. So now I'm fueling at Love's in the States. I'm still stopping at Flying J-Pilot because it's just they got a better network and you know, I got their internet there and whatnot. So in the States, it looks like I'll be fueling at Love's now until Flying J decides to give us better prices on their fuel. See how long this lasts. But just waiting here a little bit and then I'm gonna be going and doing my first transaction. It's kind of exciting. Our first ever fuel up at Love's. Who's that? The trust factor. I trust that you have diesel fuel in there for me. Is that what you're talking about? Who knows? Love's. Why do they call it Love's diesel? Oh, maybe the guy who didn't know which one we did it, man. Maybe that's why. I don't know. Why would they call it Love's? Why would they call it Love's? I don't know. Anyways, we're gonna see how good their fuel is today. All right, let's see if we can figure this thing out. Wait a second. Oh. Already not impressed. Hashtag not impressed. I hate biodiesel. Why can't we just burn diesel diesel? I don't always have to be special diesel. I know, I know why the reasons are, but. Seriously, this gums up your engine and your injectors and it freezes in winter time. The reason my fuel gels so easily is that. I'm not sure what the biodiesel blend is in Canada, but I'm pretty sure it's not between five and 20%. Try and figure this thing out. I've even got my own Love's reward card. See, that works. Love's exactly like Flying J. It's like no different. Oh, we do not want D, E, F, ever, ever, ever, junk. Rock me. So it seems like it's exactly the same setup as Flying J and Husky. They're all the same. I wonder if they're all the same, like all together. It's a conspiracy. One company owns everything. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Leaving loves here. The overall first impression is good. The store was clean. The parking lot is nicely paved. Nicely taken care of. It's clean, not a lot of garbage lying around yet. I say yet because it'll happen. The pump system is exactly the same as Flying J and Pilot. So that was easy. The reward program, I'm not too familiar with it yet, but I did read up on it once and I know they got a pretty good reward program. So that's good. I'm just broadening my fuel stops. I used to stop at exclusively Pilot Flying J because with our fuel cars, that's where we were getting the best prices. And now that we got Love's on the list, they're giving us better prices like I was telling you. So why not? You will win my business if you offer me the cheapest product as long as it's still the same quality, right? And I'm pretty sure all the fuel comes from the same place. I do understand the whole reason for the biodiesel and the DEF, like don't get me wrong. I'm just not that big of a tree hugger like that. Yes, I love being in nature. I love nature. And I understand that these things are making or saving that doesn't mean I have to like them. They make things a lot more difficult in the winter time and summertime, all of these things are fine. Every single person I see out here is talking on their phone and driving. You see that guy too? They're all driving nice cars too. I guess I can afford the ticket. Green here, my friends. Green. Green means go. Where I'm from. All right, here we go. You bet, Mandy. That's what I'm gonna do. That's a good idea. I'm gonna do that. So I've been eating a lot of fruit lately as snacks instead of, you know, junk food. It's amazing how much better you feel having an apple instead of a candy bar. Just saying. The doctors always say that, you know, that, yeah. But you know what, it's true. You have some fruit. Oh, it's like having an energy drink without the crash. I feel great. We'll spit us out onto the I-20 East. That's what Mandy said, right? Hopefully get a good look at downtown Birmingham. We get a decent view. I'll share it with you. I've noticed the roads around here though, and you need a little bit of help though. They're still better than some places I've been to. A little bit bumpy. That's okay. That's what suspension is for. Always comes every day when the vlog's about to end and everybody goes, oh yeah. These are days. You wanna explain to everybody what we do when we stop? Well, let's go over what we do. See if we have time to keep this in the vlog or if I have to edit it out. If I have to edit it out, I'll just do it tomorrow. Anyways, so we parked the truck, right? First thing we usually do is pull the shades. And that turns my whole truck into a giant sleeper. Instead of just having from here back a sleeper, see this whole thing is now a home. And no one can see in that total privacy, which reminds me, I still gotta put the cover on that window, whatever. Do that in a little bit, at least this one. It blocks the light from coming in. It also keeps the cab cool in summertime. It doesn't keep the cab warm very well in wintertime, though, having that there. But it does keep the sun rays out in the summer and keeps your cab cooler. Anyways, sun's not up now anyways. So when I do stop, my log book is kept down there. I grab it, I put it on the steering wheel right here. I do my logs. First thing, as soon as I stop, make sure everything is good to go, make sure it is all true and correct, sign it. I put the white copy, the original, into an envelope right behind it there, and it says logs on it. And I put the yellow copy, which is my copy, into a separate folder. That stays with me, goes to my accountant, my mother. And so, you get tax credits for every log sheet that you hand back in, right? This is how it works in Canada anyways. I'm not sure how it is in the States. The more logs you hand in, the more returns you'll get, right? I think that's how it works in a way. I don't know, I'm not the accountant. Mom will correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, first thing we do after we're done our log books, we take all of our cameras. First off, all this junk gets gathered here throughout the day. Take our cameras. This is the one that goes on the mirror. Take that, you put it back here. Not right beside the access, it's getting hot right now. And the camera from the dashboard, you go like this, and boom, there it is, it was hiding. I haven't done this yet, usually this is my routine. And then the camera I'm holding right now is my best camera. It's the most expensive camera I have. I like it because it's awesome. It's just very awkward to carry around. It's very obvious what you're doing. Anyways, what's my other camera? Oh yes, and this is my other camera. This is my regular vlog camera that I always have in my pocket everywhere I go. And when I stop my pocket, because it's uncomfortable to have that in your pocket when you're sitting, right? I have this little holder here for it. And that is my regular vlog camera just fits right in your pocket. Just a Sony power shot. It's what most vloggers use from what I've heard. I find it to be great because you can just, like I said, just slide it in your pocket. It does great HD video. It's got a little bit of a zoom. Though it's kind of annoying because when you zoom in, you can hear it in the audio in the video, but that's a great vlog camera. And it's very affordable. I think it was only like $183 or $160 Canadian as opposed to the camera I'm holding right now, which is like, how much was it, $700, $700 or $800? I got it on a deal because it was a demo, so I paid considerably a lot less. But brand new, yeah, that would be a lot. And then those GoPros are the white edition I think is, what is it, $200, $200 or $300? And this is the Black Hero 3 Plus. When it was brand new, it was $500. Little thing, and then all the accessories are like, this was like $20. No, I think this was more than that. I think this was $40 for this thing. GoPro accessories are not cheap. They know they can just give it to you because you can't get those accessories anywhere else. You have to buy the GoPro accessories so they can charge whatever they want, right? So once I get all of my cameras together, I pull out my handy-dandy thingamajigger here. This is my computer bag, which is all in a mess of a messy person. Where is it? Where is it? I don't know why you're in there. I just put you in there. One second. Can I put you on hold? I need some good hold music. Where are you? Found it. Put it in the wrong bag. You don't belong in there. You belong in this bag. That's my folding bag. What are you doing in this? And you're supposed to be in my computer bag. This is what I use. Some of you are wondering what do I use to transfer the files? This is a USB port, obviously, plugs into the computer. And this is a universal pug mount. See how almost any kind of plug can fit in there? Mini SD card, regular SD card, any kind of SD card just goes right in there. Put the files onto the computer, which is already over here on this little cooling pad, getting ready, booting up. I put all the files on there. If I have time and energy, I edit it right away before I go to sleep. If I'm too tired or if I just don't have time because I'm in a rush, I need to pretty much just go to sleep so I get the rest I need so I can get up right away. That usually happens in Canada because you can only stop, well, you only have to stop eight hours per night in Canada, right? Then you account for the other two hours throughout the day. Hard to explain right now. That's not what this clip is about. I'll do that another time. But that, in those cases when I'm in a real rush in Canada, I won't even edit the vlogs. I'll just put it onto the computer, put it into a file, close it up and edit it when I get a chance. Pretty much a benefit of having the vlogs a little bit behind. And then what I do is I worry about supper. Today, supper's gonna be the same as yesterday. We got this George Foreman grill, it's a brand new, it's the second time we're gonna be using it. We're gonna eat the rest of the chicken breasts that I have before they go bad. And potato salad, pretty much the same thing that we did yesterday. And this is my home, guys. So, as you can tell, it's very homey. It's got pants hanging everywhere still because I still haven't folded them and put them away because they're hanging to dry because I washed them like two or three days ago. Oh, they're not in the way. Chill in there. And then this is all my junk. It's not my junk, but the jet's bag in the back there. Go jets, go. That's my dirty laundry bag. All my dirty laundry goes into that bag as the biggest. And then once all my dirty laundry is washed, it turns into my clean laundry bag and I bring it back to the truck. This bag here underneath this nice little YouTube mouse pad is my socks and underwear. And, you know, Advil and Tylenol, whatever else I might need on the road, stuff like that. And this is my computer bag for all my computer accessories, including the cooler. And then the computer has its own little case there as well. And I don't know what that is. I don't know. I just give it to Diesel. He seems to like it. Dog food. I forgot to buy dog food last time we were at Walmart. We're gonna have to stop again before we get back to Canada, man. Anyway, so that's when I go to sleep, all of this stuff here gets moved onto my driver seat and steering wheel pretty much. And then I have the whole bed for you. I put it all over there on purpose because I want Diesel to stay off of this side of the bed. That's where I rest my head. Because that's usually the highest point because you're usually, you know, against the curb. And that's the highest point. I put my head there. I know Diesel sheds and it doesn't bother me, but it does bother me when I'm trying to sleep and I have a mouthful of hair. I don't like that. No offense, Diesel. No offense. I love your hair. But that's why that's all there to keep him off of that. So then when I put that there, I have a nice, clean, hair-free place to lay my head, right? And then he has his pillow over here under my mouth. And that's where he lays and he can look out the window because it works out better that way anyways, right? Because he can just lay there and stare out the window while we drive. And that's that. Anyways, this thing is heated up, ready to go. I'm starving. Starving. So I'll see you guys tomorrow, 4 a.m. Central Time. From here, we're gonna be going, delivering our freight into Buford. We're in Brazelton, Georgia right now. We're gonna be going into Buford, Georgia, dropping a pallet off there, one or two pallets. Then we got one pallet left, I think, or two, whatever. I got three pallets on the trailer right now. Two are going to one place, you know what I mean. After we go to Buford, unload there, we're going to, oh, somewhere in North Carolina. Where, oh no, Mount Holly, North Carolina. So we're going, we're gonna drop a pallet there tomorrow and then we're headed over to Kinston, all the way on the coast, I believe. We're picking up a load there and that's taking us up back to Canada. And you'll have to wait to hear about that load when we pick it up. Anyways guys, thanks for joining me today. I really appreciate the views and that you're so kind to me with all the good comments. I read them all. Believe me, I read them all. I don't have time to respond to them all but I read every single one of them and you guys have been great lately. You know what, you've been great all the time. All the time, what am I saying, lately? Lately it's just been better than usual, I guess. So guys, if you like the vlogs, don't forget. There's that like button down there. It gives me a big boost of motivation to make another vlog, another and that I'll see you tomorrow, four a.m. central time or anytime after that vlog will be live. What do you want, Diesel? Why are you sitting so close to me? I just want you to know you're my favorite human. And that chicken smells really good. Delicious. What would you think, Diesel? Does that look good to you? Mmm, that looks good. Good boy. Good boy. No, you still can't have it but I will give you that little chunk right there. I saved you that little chunk. Yeah, but it's a little hot right now. I can't give it to you yet. It's too hot. Good boy. He won't touch it unless if I tell him to. If I gave the word, he would swallow those things whole. One bite, all of them. Not until I tell you though, right? Those are mine. I'll give you that piece. Good boy.
