 Going through my comments here from the video where we left on this trip and I was sliding the fifth wheel and the fifth wheel Pins wouldn't go in and so many people are saying why don't you lube those pins? Why don't you put some lube on those fifth wheel pins? I Should have explained it in the video. I guess it's not that they don't slide. They slide super easy They don't need to be lube that's fine It's that I have to get them lined up with the teeth properly and they have to be just lined up Just right otherwise they don't go in all the way That's why I rock the truck back and forth and then it slips in sometimes it takes a little bit of effort But yeah, thank you for the advice. You're right. I could lube them But it wouldn't help them slide any easier It would have just been a waste of grease because they they they open and close just fine It's that they have to be lined up properly just clarifying that because I'm going through the comments here I've seen multiple of the same ones. We get a lot of views on that video. That's pretty cool Well, I bet you guys like that. I hope you guys liked it Give me a thumbs up on this one if you liked this one. I guess we got to get going so you can watch it Truck is ready. My logbook is ready I'm ready Home is at the end of the road today And you know what that means usually I run about 62 miles an hour But home is at the end of the drive today. So today I think we're gonna bump her up to 65. It's a special day 65 all the way home. I got 767 kilometers left to go just under 500 miles Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna make it home tonight yet. I'm trying to surprise my wife and Get home today. She's expecting me home tomorrow and quite honestly That's when it looks like I'm gonna make it I don't think I'm gonna make it home with enough time because I've been on nights this whole this whole week And it might be a little late. That's why we're gonna bump her up to 65 and See if that helps see if we can get home a little earlier I can't go home when it's too late. Our dogs go crazy wakes our wakes our kid up and If he's already sleeping and she's already in bed There's no point in getting the whole house just up in a roar because the dogs go crazy when I come home And wake everybody up and may as well just sleep in the truck and go home first thing in the morning when everybody's getting up At like 7 30 or 8 or whenever I get there This truck's going into the service service shop tomorrow It's getting a full service done And I'm also getting my frame inspected Planning on sandblasting the whole thing eventually very soon getting it repainted. I've measured out my My truck length pulling a trailer in Canada I'm allowed to be at a maximum of 75 and a half feet approximately From front of my bumper to the rear of the trailer bumper and the trailers that I'm pulling I'm sitting at about 72 feet, so I have an inch or three feet that I could Utilize if I want to so I'm gonna price out a little bit of a frame extension about 24 inches we'll see got to measure everything out make sure everything is good and and See what I'm looking at for that. I mean, I really don't want to do the frame now I was thinking of doing the frame in two years in like 2026. This was a long-term plan But the paint has been coming off. There's like no paint left on my frame Behind my cab, so I'd at least like to get something on that to protect it from rusting further I don't want it to get out of control, right? I want to maintain it and keep it where it's at right now So that when I do the big job get it all done nice make it look all brand new again that the truck will make it till then Right, I don't want it to get too out of hand It's an old truck This truck has over 3 million kilometers on it. It's got almost 2 million miles and The engine doesn't have nearly that on it But I plan on having this truck on the road for years and years yet as long as I can so we're gonna see How high we can get him if we can get to 5 million miles What's the highest mileage you've ever heard on a highway tractor before is a question for you drivers out there I've heard of trucks going over 4 million miles a guy we work with He had a truck that went over 4 million miles original diffs original trans and everything For the most part engine was rebuilt a few times, but original diffs If you take care of them, they'll go and they'll go when they'll go But if you neglect them They'll go and they'll go and they'll go The other way away from you so Getting my frame inspected so that I can stay on top of the maintenance I go above and beyond with this truck to make sure it's above the levels of compliance So I'm gonna keep it that way All right old blues rare to go I just keep from Texas. I should say old blues fixing to get out there And it's gonna verify my trailer is attached absolutely it is and the brakes work And they release Wonderful now the day can begin. Oh, it feels good. Yeah Get going like I was saying we've been on a night schedule this whole trip So we'll be driving into the night That's why I'm not sure if I'll be able to get home in time tonight yet But we're gonna do our best so we're not gonna stop for anything unnecessary. I do have to stop for fuel once Up here in North Dakota either in Fargo or a Grand Forks whoever's got the cheaper juice Probably Fargo, but then again, you know Grand Forks It's usually like a cent or two more per gallon. I don't know. We'll see what happens But I do need to stop for fuel yet and that's the only stop I plan to make I can make it to the Canadian border before my eight hours of Driving are up Before my eight hours up so I shouldn't have to stop for a half-hour break before I get to Canada We'll save that I made sure I drove long enough last night that I wouldn't have to stop for my half-hour today So I am Six and a half to seven hours from the border should work just perfect Those pumps and they were redoing these ones they had this all dug up remember in a steady steady drive All the way up here just stopping for a bathroom break or two Go go go It's the longest stop. I'll have I gotta wait to fuel here One guy's not even fueling. He's just parked in the pumps. Oh, there he comes. So he was inside He's got a bag of groceries lost. Well now he's gonna fuel now. He's gonna. Okay The thing you went and got your groceries first Okay, so this is gonna be quite a large fuel. That's okay The price here in Grand Forks was only seven tenths of a cent more expensive than down in Fargo This way I feel closer to home. I parked tonight with my tanks fuller And then when I get going next week, maybe I'll be just in Canada I don't know but at least then I've got more cheap juice Then I would have had I fueled it for it was that makes sense So soon as this guy gets out of my way Opens it up a lot. They're probably still parking spots there, but it's under the snow and no one parked there I don't know. I like it better with everyone back there It's way more organized and that'd be way easier to get into those spots between 10 and 10 30 But I'm getting home tonight. Got to drop this trailer somewhere the loaded lineup Drop my paperwork off here at the office on the way out Let's get out along home. It's a little different here than it was at the other border. This feels more familiar It's supposed to get in snow today and tomorrow. So a good thing I got home tonight. That's Not really the reason but it's a bonus to pushing hard to get home tonight Be home over the weekend while it snows and hopefully by next week back here That lineup in front of us is the loaded lineup the one that we're passing by right now only empty trailers in park there Because there's a concrete a line of concrete under the trailer legs of these I don't think we have to worry about them sinking into the ground at this time of year But you never know. It's not that cold Unseasonably warm right now Thank God for the El Menio, right? I think this is my spot right here on the other side of this black roll type. That's the spot
