 Today's the exciting day. Today we're getting into our new truck. I'm not too sure what kind it is yet. I'm pretty sure it's a Peterbilt 379, you know, with the short hood. Is that what 379 is, that's the right number? I'm not sure. We're gonna find out when we get there today. Today I've gotta move all of my stuff from the Volvo into the Peterbilt. And the best part, have you noticed? Have you noticed anything? Weasels with us. Diesel. Say hi to everybody. Diesel, come here. I don't like cameras. Come here. Come on, say hi. I don't like cameras, man. It's your thing, it's your thing, man. He's excited to see you. I'm really looking forward to this. I think this will be a positive change. A lot less stress. So once we get there, I gotta go into the office, sign some papers, take care of some paperwork. And then it shouldn't take too, too long to move all my stuff from the Volvo back over to the, or over to the new truck. If it's a Peterbilt, I don't know. I'm just assuming it is. We'll find out in a few minutes here. But looking forward to it. I mean, looking forward to it all weekend. You know it's gonna be a good day when you're looking forward to going to work. Usually means it's gonna be a good day. You guys wanna see it? I'm just moving in, okay? So it's real messy and dirty in here right now, but this is our new home. Don't judge it yet, okay? I gotta clean it up a bit. So this truck is a lot nicer. There's a lot more room back there than in the Volvo. It's not quite as high, but that's okay, because it's high enough for me to stand up, right? I'm just getting all my stuff moved over. It's like moving over your entire house. I hate moving. So I don't like switching trucks that much, but it's gonna be nice once everything's in here and we got everything cleaned up. And our first trip actually, our first trip, we're going to Newfoundland. No messing around. We're back. We're back to the old routes. Very happy about that. I haven't been to Newfoundland in years. So from here, we're going straight there, as far as I know, and then from there, I think we go down to Georgia. So I'm very happy with the position I've gotten in life here and fortunate to be able to have this option to me. And you know, I don't own this truck. It's not my truck, but I also don't own any headaches that it will bring in the future. And all the bills to keep this thing running don't belong to me. So that makes me a happy employee. And instead of being an owner operator or lease operator, whatever you wanted to call it, having to, you know, hold all that responsibility, I just had a series of bad luck and not everyone has that bad luck, but a lot of people do. You know, that's trucking. My story's not that different than most truckers, but I'm excited. So I have till the end of the day. It's, what is it, like 11 o'clock in the morning here now, I have all day to get moved over and settled in, cleaned this place up, wipe it all down. And then we're off. The load should be ready later. They said the load will be ready probably around like four o'clock, maybe 4.30. So I got a few hours. I'm excited. Oh, am I excited? I feel so good about this. Like my stress level that I've been talking about for the past like month or so, a couple of months, gone. I feel good. I'm happy. Okay. So enough talking about me. Let's get ourselves loaded up here. I got diesel waiting in the pickup with the windows open. His head's hanging out the window. He's itching to get in here and sniff it out and check it out. So first I've got to get it ready for him in here. I don't want him jumping on that mattress back there until I have his cover on it. And look at that bed. Look how big that bed is. I'll have to show you later once I have it all set up. It's like twice as wide as the bed in the Volvo. I'm going to be living like a king. And it's a Peterbilt. That's extra bonus points. And if you're wondering why my face is so red right now, funny story. I'm a Canadian and I got a sunburn yesterday. It was eight degrees. That's eight degrees above zero. What is that in Fahrenheit? Probably like forties, mid forties. Britt and I were sitting out in the sun all day yesterday and working in the yard. Sunburn. That's how you know I'm Canadian and I'm not lying to you. Well, Diesel, what do you think? Look at this. I can stretch out my legs and still not even touch the seat. There's so much room in this truck. It's crazy. What am I going to do with all this space? Look how big this bed is. I told you that in the last clip already, right? All right, I'm going to stretch out and almost sleep this way. Diesel, come back here. Tons of room for you here. Look at this. You and I can share the bed. Yeah, we both have room, buddy. Oh, look at this. Look at all this space. And you got your window back and you got your window back. Good boy. Wow. Like, I don't know who's been touching the roof with their dirty hands. What, why would, how? That's going to bug me. Whatever. Not my problem. I didn't put that there. I didn't, I didn't do that. Yeah, this truck is enormous inside compared to my Volvo. Wow. I am impressed. So from now on, it's a Peterbilt. It says it on the, down here somewhere. Oh, there's a Peterbilt 579. I thought it was a 379. I think that's their older model. This is a Peterbilt 579. And it is roomy. I tell you what, compared to the Volvo, the only thing that's different is the head space. That's the only thing that's different. But look at me, I can sit in here. I can stand in here, no problem. I'm five foot 10. So there's no problem. So yeah, let's go hook up onto our van trailer and let's pull it to Newfoundland. You excited? I'm excited. Diesel, you excited? I love this bag, man. I know. I'm excited for that later too. Can't wait to go to bed. Ha ha ha. I didn't even have to get up on the catwalk here. Hook up the airlines. That was great. Look at this, just pulling a big box behind us. Big box of the little box underneath. Look at that. I can't show you what's in there this time. It's a secret, but there's four of them. And there's three drops. So I guess one drop is getting two and the other two are getting one or one is getting three. No, no has to be two, one and one. Yes, it's gonna be fun. Let's hit the road. Pull our box down the road. Diesel, I'm officially a door swinger again. Don't look at me like that, I'm funny. Steering wheel holder and door swinger. Whatever you wanna call me, I don't care. So this truck has a hood that opens like a normal truck, not like a minivan. I wanted to show you inside here in the engine bay of how different this is from the Volvo engine, if you remember from my past videos. Everything is within the frame. Nothing outside the frame. Look at this big gap. I gotta have a party in here. Look at this huge gap between there. Everything is like shoved in there between the frame. It's a pack car engine. It's amazing how they crammed it all in that small space. Let's go look at the other side. Same thing here. All this space in here. Just have a party over here on this side too. Look at this. The fuel filter is upside down from the Volvo. Look at that. Fascinating how different manufacturers make it differently, but everything is a lot more accessible so far from what it looks like. Now I just have to be sure to remember to not forget to latch these. Here's a bit of a different view, eh? I like it though. Hold this thing ride smooth. And wow, is it good on fuel. This is incredible. The amount of fuel this thing's using is peanuts compared to what that Volvo used. There wasn't something wrong with that Volvo. But all I got right now is this head mount. I don't got any mount set up in here yet so we're just gonna be using this head mount for foreseeable future as we head towards Newfoundland. Our destination is 4,077 kilometers away. That's four full days of driving. That's approximately, well, six times four, what is it, a hundred and 1,800? Probably about 1,900 miles. So it's a long trip. We're leaving on Monday. I'll be delivering my first load at Hearst Wednesday morning. I'll be delivering my second in St. Ramon, Quebec, Friday. And then we'll be going to the ferry and taking the ferry across to Newfoundland over the weekend and delivering in Stephenville, Newfoundland on Monday. And then probably headed back empty to the mainland. Oh, we'll probably load up something. I think I'm going down to Georgia is what they said. So miles, miles, miles. Tell you what, we're getting paid by the mile, not by the hour. The more miles, the better. Let's get there. Let's get there as quickly as we can. This truck is governed at 100 kilometers an hour, 62 miles an hour. So we're going as fast as we can. Pull ourselves into this rest area here. This is the Ontario Manitoba border. They have the check stop at the border there again between the two provinces. Transport drivers can just drive straight through. You got to slow down and obviously go through the checkpoint, but they'll just wave you through unless you look fishy or look suspicious. But they let us just roll on through. They're stopping all the cars and making sure that they are essential travelers and all the same stuff. You know that stuff. You know what's going on. Crazy world we're living in right now. You know what? I'm at the point right now where I'm thinking, let's get back to work. Okay, let's get back to work. So my face is still kind of red, isn't it? It's sunburned from yesterday. Geez, leave a cane in the sun for 10 minutes and he roasts. But this truck, I'm telling you, diesel? Seriously, what do you think of this truck? He's fantastic, man, he's a Peterbilt. Yeah, man, best of the best. I know, right? He's so proud sitting here. I'm a Peterbilt dog now, man. Look at me, look at me. I look so good, don't get old. You can get all the chicks, man. Whatever makes you feel better, diesel. Put that logo right there. I like it too, I do. I like this better though. Okay, it still needs to be cleaned up. I still need to organize it all. Because I literally just threw everything in here. I threw most of the stuff up there. And I'll give you more of a tour of this truck eventually. But this bed, man, I can't get over how big it is. Got the Peterbilt logo on here and this actually just folds down like this and that's all my junk up there, you see that? I gotta organize all of that. And put it away nicely and throw half of it out. Don't look at my paper towel collection. I am not a hoarder. Give me a break, I have a sunburn. What does that have to do with that? Don't ask. Diesel, you left your crumbs all over the bed. I gave you a treat. I told you to make sure that you cleaned up all your crumbs. What's all this? Diesel, come here. Come here, man. Come here. Clean up all your crumbs. Come on. There you go. Gotta clean this place up, man. We just got in here. You still left them. You're gonna sit on them. You're gonna sit on them. You can't see them, you're not there. That's how I clean up messes. You spent how long with mom at home now? You should know better than that. I have my bedding underneath there than this sheet just goes over top of all my bedding. This is for Diesel. That's so that it's easier to clean his hair and stuff he, sometimes he jumps out of the truck, gets some gravel on his paws and he jumps on the bed and you're like, oh, why are you on the bed? But now it's like, yeah, I'll just wash the sheet. So every few days I just stop and wash the sheet and then much easier to keep clean. What do you think, Diesel? Isn't this awesome? I'm loving this. And he's got his windows, see? There's one behind me there, too. We're riding like kings now. Let's sit right against the back. Excuse me, Diesel, can I get to the back, too? Okay, look at this. I'm gonna put my back right against the back here. My butt's right up against the wall. Okay, you don't believe me? You don't believe me? Okay, my butt is right up against the wall here, right? I can't really fit, but look at this. My feet are like right at the edge of the bed. Wow, I'm so used to that Volvo. This is just luxury. We were missing out on this all along, man. We didn't even know what we didn't have. I guess that makes sense. You never know what you don't have. I think the saying is you don't know what you have. But we knew what we had. We had a truck with an engine light that was on all the time. Those trucks have a little unique logo on them so that you know which truck has engine light problems. They have this little circle with a little arrow on it and usually the word Volvo on there somewhere. Let's watch out for those trucks. They got problem after problem, man. Tell you what. But now this is gonna be good. So we're just stopped here for a little break and check things out a little bit, show you guys the truck a little bit. Let's keep going. Rolling into Dryden, Ontario. This is where we're gonna end our day. That's where we're gonna try to. I'm gonna see if I can find some park in here tonight. You either got the Husky truck stop or you got the Petro Pass truck stop, which is sort of behind the RCMP station. I think that's where we're gonna go. I think we're gonna go to the RCMP or behind there to the Petro Pass. It's a much bigger parking lot. But who knows what it's gonna look like? Who knows? This truck runs amazing. Wow. Like I was talking about how that Volvo ran smooth as glass after I got those wheel balancers and new wheels on the front. This truck runs like smoother than glass. Likes to bog down a little bit like that though. I'm not really a fan of, but see. Bogs itself down, it shifts too soon. It's that automatic transmission. I don't like automatics, but again, it keeps bogging itself down. It can't take it gears. It needs more gears. I think this is a 10 speed. So it needs more gears to be able to smoothly climb these ills a little bit more. Wow, that's annoying. Yeah, I'm looking forward to crawling into that massive sleep behind me. See what we find. Well, man, it definitely needs some cleaning up and some organizing. And we'll get to that, but we are going to enjoy a nice relaxing sleep first in this mansion that we've found ourselves in. So things are gonna be a little different from now on. This is our new home and I'm gonna take you along for the ride. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow. We're gonna see some new scenery that we haven't seen in a while. And we get to go on a ferry. That's kind of cool. It's an eight hour ferry ride.
