 My name is Leander Fair. I'm from Asuncion Paraguay, South America, and you are watching Trucker Josh Vlogs with Diesel. Good morning everybody. So today is Cirque du Soleil 2. Take 2. Yes. Cirque du Soleil take 2. Amaluna take 2. Apparently there's a lot of Cirque du Soleil shows out there. I thought they're all the same. Apparently this one is the one that's playing in Winnipeg, but there's a bunch of others playing all over the place. So we're on our way back into Winnipeg. We rebooked for the Sunday afternoon because they cancelled our show on Friday. So they gave us 30% off and a full refund on our past tickets, like that we had before. I think I told you already, except now we're not in the front row. We're in the third row. First row next time, maybe. Yeah. Maybe in Vegas. Oh, that would be like a thousand bucks a ticket, I think. Probably somewhere around there. I think everything in Vegas is like a thousand bucks minimum, right? Well, we're here and they didn't cancel this one. You excited? Yes. We're gonna pay $15 to park here. And there's potholes the size of children in this parking lot. $15 for this crap. I'm gonna bottom out just getting in here. The lady in the equinox ahead of us is gonna, she did every single pothole on the way. It's like she's aiming for them. Where do you get your license? A cereal box? Every single pothole she's nailed. It's like she's aiming for them. I swear. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amaluna Island. Please make sure you purchase your parking tickets at any point of sale since in concession. For the exit, have your tickets ready to show at parking attendance before leaving Amaluna Island. What would they do to you if you didn't? It's not like they could stop you from leaving. For me, that's going to Dundee, Ohio, USA. Which is about two days full driving, two full days of driving from here. So I've got to go and pick it up. Got a scale. It's apparently it's kind of on the heavy side. So I got to make sure that that's all legal to cross into the US. Get all my paperwork, hook up, tie it down, and we'll be back to trucking. Finally, this truck is all fixed up. We expected most of the snow melted already in town. There's still quite a bit pushed up against the curb here and in the center lanes. But that all melts in. We're supposed to be getting some really warm water. Oh, here's a lot right here. Yikes. I guess they're just waiting for it to melt. Like I said, we're supposed to get in the next couple of weeks yet. So that'll take care of everything. It was really abnormal to have this much snow so early. But because it was so warm, the snow was so wet and heavy, right? Look at that, yikes. The snow was so wet and heavy. It actually crumpled some of those big steel power lines, the transmission lines. Just crumpled them a whole ton of them. And apparently like a thousand wooden poles were cracked or broken. This was out in central and western Manitoba, in the southern part of the province. But yeah, it was pretty bad. I have friends out in your port of Del Prairie who are without power. The storm was on Friday and they only got their power back on Monday morning, I think. So it was a whole weekend. So the Manitoba Hydro crews, they got things up and running pretty quick. And they did a good job. They had a lot of help from crews from Saskatchewan and Ontario. And I believe Minnesota also sent up help to get everything up and running quicker. Because I mean that whole city has thousands and thousands of people without power for a few days. And it's amazing how much we rely on electricity. It's kind of scary, actually. A state of emergency was declared. Just a few days without electricity. I have a backup generator. Britt and I, we have a generator, but a lot of the people out have one. So hopefully they'll have one now. All made it down here to Minnesota, don't you know? Just stopping at the Rossi truck stop here. Oh yeah, about to pick us up a coffee. Oh boy. So we've been driving for a little bit already. The sun's going down sooner than I thought it would. Suddenly I'm like, oh boy, I got to start vlogging. And they're talking to them. It'd be dark before we know it. So the load was a little heavy on the front when I picked it up. I had to get the forklift guys in the yard to move a couple of lifts back. Point, Karen! I just got back. I'm sick of you already. Why is this guy taking up the entire driveway? Which way are you going? You're not using your signals. My first day back and you're all making me mad. I was in the shop. Karen! Can't work anyways. Pulling stuff around. Somebody in Ohio needs lumber from Alberta. No wait, this is from, oh, it's from British Columbia I think. Anyways, I took over in Winnipeg and we're taking her on down to Ohio. Eastern part of Ohio. I'm actually pretty excited because I haven't been there in so long. Remember last time we were supposed to go to Ohio but it fell through? This load didn't fall through. We're going. Oh yeah. I'm excited. I don't know. I'm just excited to be back at work. I don't know. Maybe I'm weird. It feels good to be rolling again. Not going to be wrong. It felt great to be at home but man, getting back behind the wheel of the truck, feeling that weight behind you as you're pulling it. Oh, I missed it. I missed it. Didn't miss you though, Karen. Nope. I had a good time with my wife. Okay, let's go inside and grab a coffee. Ended up taking my half hour break here. So I got six hours and 14 minutes available to me to drive today yet. I'd like to get as far as I can because I still have quite a ways to go. Get to my destination. I'm going to pick up. What are you doing? Or maybe I just drove right out in front of him. I don't know. Either way, all I know is that I'm not stopping here for the night. Let's continue on. Get to the other side of Minneapolis, into Wisconsin. See if we can make it to Black River Falls tonight. That would be nice. Leaders, take the entrance to the right on I-94 East. Okay, Karen. I did get myself a coffee with a little bit of extra kick of caffeine in there. Pretty excited about it. What are you doing, Parker? Hey, is this Will? Will, is that you? Nope, it's not Will. Close. Could have been. Wrong truck though. Apparently my cousin Will, he's on his way down to Illinois right now. I believe. Or maybe he's in Illinois and reloading on his way back. I'm not sure. He pulls a tanker like that. We're on Interstate 94. We're on eastbound, obviously. I'm going to try to avoid as many of the toll roads as possible. Continue along this road for 192 kilometers. Because Karen here tells me how much I have to pay for tolls to get to the east side of Ohio from here. I'd have to pay almost $175 in tolls. That's a U.S. So about $200 in tolls, just one way. So we're going to try to get around it as much as possible. It's kind of hard to avoid the Ohio turnpike. But, you know, they sort of got you there. We'll see what we can do tomorrow. We're not going to get that far today anyway. I know it's dark out. You can't really see anything. But do you see that glowing sky right there? The sky is purple. I've been looking at that glowing sky for at least half an hour now. We're getting a little closer. What is that? I don't even know if the camera is picking it up. It's probably not even picking it up, is it? We're not close enough yet. It's just this huge purple cloud. Where is it pink? Pinkish purple. I've never seen it here before. What caused that? I don't know if the camera is doing it justice. That was crazy. I keep thinking it's like right around the corner. But, like I said, I've been looking at it for a half hour. We don't seem to be getting any closer. What's going on over here? We're in Wisconsin right now. Getting close to Black River Falls. That's where we're going to spend the night. And now it's just off to our right here. Well, maybe we are actually going past it. What is this, some kind of like country rave party or something? Man, that didn't even be flashing lights, right? It's just a steady glow. That's so weird. Getting a little closer to it now. See that? It's like an Alma center here. Strangest thing ever, right? Oh, now we're going to point more towards it. The camera's got to pick that up. I don't know if you guys are on my head. You've got to be able to see that. That's the whole sky now. Oh, I see it on the ground now. That is really bright. It sort of looks like one of those outdoor parties. Those outdoor parties would usually be flashing, right? All kinds of different colors and stuff. Crazy. Even the road is turning purple. It's bouncing off the clouds and coming back down and making the road purple. It's exit 98 in Wisconsin. I don't want to see what that is. I'm like a moth drawn to the flame, you know, drawn to the light. Yeah, it's definitely right there, exit 98. Maybe it's like one of those traveling carnivals or something. When I passed by that purple place, it looked like a barn that was lit up with purple lights. Really strange. Someone maybe in the comments will be able to tell me what that was if you're from around here. We're here in Black River Falls now. Exit 116, 994 in Wisconsin. And we're going to try and find ourselves a spot to park. Which should be fun because it's 20 to 1 in the morning. So hopefully there will be something here for us because I really don't want to go much further. Why is that guy parked in the driveway backwards? He's actually sleeping right there. That's not a parking spot. That's a driveway because what if all these pumps were full? That's where you drive through to the parking lot. That's not a parking spot, buddy. Canadian plates? No, North Dakota, it looks like. Okay, at least the pumps are open. I can sneak through here and thread the needle. I'm going to grab fuel in the morning. Not too tired to do anything else tonight. Good boy. And we found a nice spot to sleep. And woke up this morning in the exact same spot. That's always awesome. So we're very heavy. I was actually 150 pounds over on the back after we moved everything but my tarps were on the back. So I took my tarps from the back, strapped them up here and that actually moved 300 pounds to the front. So those tarps right there, all that, they're a little wet on the inside because it was a rainy day but yeah, 300 pounds worth of tarps. That's crazy. But that's the load. Taking us to Dundee, Ohio. Unload it there. Not yet, but we're going to make our way down there. Anyways guys, thanks for watching this short video today. Just getting ourselves going. Tomorrow we're starting from here in Black River Falls. We want to get down into Ohio. We've got 1,032 kilometers to go. So we can do it. It'll be a full day, a full full day. So we'll see what happens. We'll talk to you guys then. Don't forget to subscribe. Don't want to miss tomorrow's video. My name is Leander Fair. I'm from Asuncion, Paraguay, South America.
