 good morning everybody we're here in Winnipeg loading up some lumber it's gonna take us down to Lakeville Minnesota which is southern Minneapolis St. Paul just south of the city there and we'll probably deliver that in there tomorrow and see what they have for us after that I was supposed to pick up some glass but apparently they needed a flat bed and I have a step deck behind me so they might have to find me some other fancy freight to haul they said they'll take care of me so they'll find something for me I'd like to get some miles in I mean I get paid by the load I get paid percentage right so miles don't always mean the most to me I like to see how many nickels are attached to the load that's what means a lot more to me than the miles attached to the load sometimes you can you know have a 2,000 mile load that pays less than an 800 mile load depending on what the freight is but I need to keep the truck moving this truck has been nickel and diamond me this year so far and we're just gonna hope and pray for good things to come in the future so as soon as this truck in front of me here moves I'm gonna move into his position and they're gonna start loading me up I'm gonna tire down and head south this is a familiar road within Southern Winnipeg that I'm pretty familiar with Bishop Brandon countless times when I lived in the area my sisters both used to live in the area too in some of these apartment buildings off to our love 500 meters turn right on St. Mary's RTE 52 Karen you don't know Winnipeg like I do no I'm gonna keep going we're gonna take Lige down why would I take St. Mary's down and you gotta go all the way back down there down the perimeter yet Bishop takes us right to Lige no GPS understands Winnipeg you got to live here to understand the road systems they don't make sense they're starting to look the new developments they're starting to make a little bit more sense but this city was like seven or eight ten different cities that all sort of merged into one at one point and none of them communicated with each other until that point they all sort of built their own built their own road systems and once they sort of bumped into each other they I guess we're gonna figure out how to connect these things now so no freeways or anything running through it like a normal city that would have required planning from the beginning Dakota Street delivering pizzas delivery job now you want me to do it on St. Anne's I can understand that logic but it's still slower cuz St. Anne's is 60 kilometer an hour all the way down to the to the perimeter Bishop is 80 kilometer an hour up to Lige which is 80 kilometers now I don't want to go on St. Anne's I'm trusting Karen any other city makes more sense in 500 meters turn right on St. Anne's Road RTE 150 this road is also taken up beating since I lived here this road was not that bad when I lived here I think they just redone now look at this thing it's a little bit of TLC a little bit of love and attention I've noticed though that they have a lot more walking paths in the area we got to our left over there a lot of nice walking paths that were not here when I lived here not that I was interested in going for a walk when I was like 18-19 I was much more interested in other pointless useless things to waste my time on got all our paperwork and all this road for nine kilometers what a peg but back to our own yard grab the paperwork I needed so it's all clear for the border up through the perimeter here to highway 75 still got their spring weight restrictions on the road so I can't go on every road especially when I'm fully loaded with lumber like this 71 kilometers to go under 500 miles like I said just south of Minneapolis from there turn into I 29 in about 20 minutes for somebody near Minneapolis somebody down there wants to build something I got some wood for I'm gonna bring it to us so they can build it building stuff okay keep building stuff keep doing stuff it gives me something to do this is all farmers fields here and I bet the farmers are hoping to get out there soon start seeding every year every year so we'll see how far we get today yet I'd like to get as close as I can down in Minneapolis but we won't get all the way there we'll go until we get tired while we're down here in the US of a right now Marca you not a straight super Marca look at it look at it doesn't look so much different than canadia look at it tell you one thing the road looks a lot better but that's the only difference I see right now but very nice very very nice and notice how all the water is gone here see the water flows north in this region and we're headed south so all that water that was down here a couple of weeks ago that I was showing you is now up north in canadian surging towards the Lake Winnipeg I believe and then from Lake Winnipeg it drains out down a bunch of rivers towards the Hudson's Bay and then into the ocean and then it starts all over again what a journey what a journey but here we are looks like the farmers are getting their fields back pretty mucky over there still very mucky indeed they're gonna have to wait a few weeks before they seed them guess them but I've noticed further south down in central Illinois where we were at last week farmers were already on the field seeding seems pretty early but I'm used to I guess later seasons because we live up a little further north so gotta wait a little longer yeah the farmers will be itching to get out there I'm sure they're all pulling their air seeders out of there out of their big garages or their barns whatever you call those things air seeders out you know stretching them out making sure they all work properly make sure they're all tuned up ready to go getting the old four-wheel drive versatile going right right some of you farmers down there what are you doing you getting on the fields already or what getting excited give her bud go to town have fun Ross say you see that sign or common stops on our first night I'm gonna be pulling in here and finding a spot to park and calling it a night it's only about it's about five hours from where we started so this is my first day is usually a little tiring on the road I don't know I get used to being at home very quickly there she was oh it's full today oh wow all right okay we'll figure this out usually this full at all do we'll go over to Fergus past Fergus Falls and park at the big chief looks like my spot is still open right here though well we've got our spot I've set up my bed this is where I live for those of you who have never seen my channel I've never seen a truckers sleeper before this is my home a little TV there I got a second bed up there in case the wife wants to come along with me then I sleep up there and she gets the comfy bed down here naturally and now I'm at home a second ago I was at work there now I'm now I'm at home so the commute is pretty bad pretty not bad pretty good not much traffic on my commute but I kind of like it I'm gonna go to bed here now thanks for joining me today short little day but tomorrow be a bit of a better day we got to go deliver this lumber and head towards our reload which we don't know what it'll be yet but we will find out tomorrow so don't forget to join us hit that subscribe button and we'll see you then
