 Good morning, everybody. We're getting old blue ready for the road. It's time to get to work. It's pretty cold outside So we're making sure we got everything we need and that we're ready Into Winnipeg and drop it at one of our shippers and pick up a pre-loaded Stuff deck. We're gonna go down to Fargo, North Dakota with that I'm hoping to be able to get there today to deliver yet, but the way this morning is going so far We'll see what happens might be tomorrow morning This morning I tell you I went to the shop got the truck ready to go started just a bit to roll away and I'm like wait a second Wait a second. That won't make sense unless I show you real quick. It's cold Older than Scrooge's heart out there. Must be Christmas is almost here. I'm loaded tonight yet, but Here's to hoping Supposed to go down to minus 30 tonight in Fargo where we'll be sleeping So we're going to be doing everything we can to keep warm and keep all blue warm Fueled up for 580 liters just now or 553 us gallons Costed me just under $1,200 Canadian I'm not sure what that is in USD right now. I didn't do the conversion before I started talking. It is that time of year But when you're watching this there is some good news. So you ready for it? The days have stopped getting shorter The daylight hours are now Going to start getting longer. So that's good news, right? Something I mean you got to take what you can get means we're on the on the downhill towards summer We climbed the mountain of winter now. We're at the icy peak Soon will be on the other side going right down into the valley of summer summer sunshine and summer Lord Selkirk how come Lord Weasel doesn't have his own highway. I think we should petition the Manitoba government to name The next highway Lord Weasel highway or maybe even rename this one. I don't know who Lord Selkirk was Though I'm pretty sure he had something to do with the town of Selkirk That's north of Winnipeg probably one of the founding fathers of Manitoba. I should probably know him I probably do. I'm gonna say I know all about him. I have just temporarily forgotten All right, guys, I'm gonna run to the road with you watch out Don't hit me. Don't give my way. You be good You too, Mr. Tankreanger. That's icy at that intersection. Nice and slow Put my don't hit me hazards on As you can see around us, there's not a cloud in the sky and In wintertime if you've been watching my videos for long enough in wintertime, you know, that's a bad sign a clear sky in winter Means there's a cold day to follow the warm air is just being Sucked right up into the atmosphere and brought somewhere else The heat from the Sun is being reflected right off the snow and ice so it bounces right back up Officially on the way crossing from Emerson Manitoba to Pembina, North Dakota again Mine is pretty long today Sometimes busy Sometimes It's not Today's one of those busy times. I was kind of in a rush too. I kind of knew I wasn't gonna get unloaded today, but I was hoping I don't think it's gonna happen now. It's probably gonna give me about a half hour delay here at the border I had to stop for fuel that took 20 minutes to wait and see It's a nice day outside. Like the weather is really nice besides it being like colder than you know You know what? Your days are nice. It's nice to have some sunlight. It's just it brings in the cold weather. I Am cleared across though our custom brokers on the ball today. I Was cleared before I even left That's how it usually is. I don't usually have to wait Every now and then though you get one of those loads that maybe just falls through the cracks Something goes wrong or they lose some paperwork It's happened before the broker loses the paperwork Whatever happens, you know, whatever the excuse is Every now and then You're stuck waiting. I Mean physically you could just drive across the border, right legally You shouldn't do that like I said in last couple days ago if you show up to the border and your paperwork isn't in order They really don't like that They'll turn you back and you get a fine for that as well Believe it or not don't want to make sure you are Double sure and have confirmation with you that you are cleared to cross and being cleared to cross the border just means that you're the customs Customs and border protection have accepted your load your paperwork. They know who you are They know where you came from where you're going. They already have your ID on file in most cases That way when you show up to the window and they scan you in they're like, oh, yes They still ask you questions as if they don't know what's on your trailer. It's on the screen right in front of them What's in your trailer? So Don't try and lie to them Grand Forks, North Dakota just ran into one of my co-workers Jake and His fuel it started to gel up It's cold of luckily he was able to make it here to the truck stop and he can switch out his filters and add some 9-1-1 power service that melts all the ace and the gel in there and he's headed home I'm headed south makes me nervous hearing guys are gelling up out there. I still need to go Hour and a quarter hour and a half further into Fargo I'm gonna go for it. I put anti gel in my tanks just to be sure Got good filters on there It's cold. Oh, it's not like that cold, but it is really cold. I've got my winter front on keeping everything warm, hopefully It is what it is, right? Let's uh, let's head out there Keep our fingers and toes crossed and just keep this truck running Especially when it's this cold it should be okay tomorrow will be a bit of a flying J feel from Fargo as well I don't want to sit all night And have condensation build up inside my tank your tanks are full of fuel. There's no room for condensation Condensation is not good That water gets into your fuel and water freezes Fargo here on the trucks is minus 18 Celsius But it's not minus 18 Let's do some Googling here First of all, what is minus 18 Celsius in Fahrenheit degrees Celsius is equal to minus 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit Thanks, old blue So both zero degrees Fahrenheit, that's what the truck thinks it is right now But I'm sitting here idling and all the heat from the engine is messing with the thermometer Temperatures actually It's ask old blue What is the temperature outside right now 28 degrees in Fargo right now. There is currently a wind chill warning in effect Feels like minus 38 with the wind chill One second here What is minus 28 Celsius in Fahrenheit? 38 degrees Celsius is minus 18.4 degrees Fahrenheit And the wind chills minus 38, so What is minus 38 Celsius in Fahrenheit? Minus 38 degrees Celsius is minus 36.4 degrees Fahrenheit There you have it folks. It's cold So it's a keep old blue running kind of night Shut the truck off in this weather for just a couple of hours you Might not get it started Depends on how long I guess but for now we're just trying to stay warm and edit some videos Clean up the truck a little bit here. I still got my stuff all over the place as you can see It's gonna be short week because Christmas starts for us on the 23rd And we have another one two three gatherings plus Britain my own Christmas Brittany we have our own Christmas Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning. So it's four Christmases yet But to go full-on Christmas and you always go full out on Christmas always So thanks for joining me today. We made it and So far no problems But if we do have problems, we're at the Flying J 24-hour facility. I can just go inside and keep warm there Take care everybody. We'll see you tomorrow. Get this wood off my trailer See what they have for us
