 Hey, this is Mike from truck it in Wyoming you're watching TJV trucker Josh wads As he's going down the road with his best buddy diesel Give us a thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe. Have a great day Hey there bud. Hey mates Another new day. I'm in Winnipeg right now We were at home for a day and now about to go get my trailer. I took a little bit of a detour here Stopped by our bookstore here in Winnipeg chapters in St. Patel. I had to get a new book Finished my other one So now we go pick up our trailer and we start heading towards Minneapolis Chanhassen To be exact Chanhassen, Minnesota We have that load of lumber that we picked up in Alberta and somebody down there is counting on us To bring them their lumber And then we have another load of glass that's waiting for us Somebody in Calgary is counting on us to deliver this lumber on time so we can go pick up our glass on time and deliver Their shipment on time A lot of people counting on me. I'm gonna go this way. I'm gonna go right. I'm gonna go down St. Mary's to the perimeter So I'm bob tailing right now if you haven't figured that out no trailer behind me I wouldn't be able to fit into the mall here with the trailer. That's why I came now For one of these street corners has People here holding signs asking for spare change It's kind of sad. You got to wonder if it's Legitimate that's what I worry about sometimes I feel really bad for these people who actually are living on the street Seems to be a lot out today and it's cold in Winnipeg, but you know every once in a while you hear those stories Where they're sort of abusing it, but this guy's kind of funny He's making the kids in the car in front of me laugh if he was up here a little closer. I give him something I don't have any change on me. Do I or do I a little bit? Let's see see if they make you laugh Kind of gladly Give them what change I have. I had a couple of bucks in my pocket and change I think I had about two dollars and some sense. I gave it to the guy. I like this sign He was making the kids laugh in the car in front of me. So I Was my coffee money, but that's okay. We can skip a coffee today. He needed it more than us Really friendly guy when he came to the window Have this lumber tied down already. I don't have to worry about getting it ready or Tarping it or anything. It's all ready to go. We've already done as long as no one messed with it in the yard there You know, I left it in the superior yard and my tarps were tied to the deck So as long as nobody got sneaky and went, you know Messed with it, but we'll check once we get there and make sure Now the start to this day is rather amusing It wasn't like this when I left the house But there is some good news to this weather Camera picks it up or not But that wind is blowing that snow across the road from the north towards the south That does mean that colder weather will be on the way But that also means since we're going south that we're gonna have the wind at our back pushing us down towards Minneapolis can sort of just Let ourselves sail down It won't be as bad as this. I'm just on On my way to highway 75 which going south will turn into interstate 29 at the u.s border It's that time of year though You know the weather gives you hope that spring is around the corner But winter always has a few last punches to take because the weather is the perfect weather right now for snow. It's nice and warm It never snows when it's really cold It only it only snows when it's around the freezing point when it starts to warm up or when it's starting to cool down, you know So This is the perfect weather for the perfect storm Good thing we're getting out of here my cousin will Who drives that beautiful Tanker he's in Hickston, Wisconsin right now, which is close to Black River Falls And he just sent a picture or posted a picture on his instagram that It's sunshine and warm down there We can get out of here before it Before it gets bad down there. Hopefully it doesn't get bad down there. This is getting pretty This is actually heating up pretty quick here, isn't it? Just as I've been talking to you it's been getting worse This is what keeps everybody else out So that we can live in peace and quiet It's getting worse by the mile here Oh boy If we don't beat the storm out we might get stranded at a A truck stop down the road if they end up closing interstate 29 I hope we can get through before that happens, but I don't know how bad this is on the main highways That feeling is not going to be as bad there See as soon as we get a little break in the wind here a little A few trees then you got clear roads again We'll find out Hopefully not because if the highways closed out a much rather just stayed home an extra night So we've just turned on to 75 south now. So we have the wind pushing us But it looks like the highways are still not the best Let's hope that it gets better as we go south I really hope they haven't closed or they're not going to close the road. They're they're open right now Let's hope that uh, they stay open Let's hope they get better. That's a better thing to hopeful. Let's hope they get better Things seem to be clearing up a little bit for us and that's a good thing. We're here in Morris Manitoba, and I don't know if it's just the town that's blocking all the wind Or if the wind has actually died down I'm looking off to the east in the west right now. I can see pretty far It's just open fields and it looks like the wind has died down here So it looks like we're in front of the storm now, which is pushing south So hopefully we stay in front of it And uh, it peters out before it gets down to Minneapolis. I don't want to deal with that tomorrow The last time I picked up glass in In uh, Minnesota It was a snowstorm as well and I got stuck in their yard and I had to get a tug to get pulled out That was the day that my airlines were giving me problems and my air dryer and That was just a big mess. So hopefully it's a better visit to Minnesota this time good people there I don't really want to bring the snow with me. So I'm I'm I told the snow to stay. I was very stern. I said stay It doesn't always listen though So if it does follow me down, I apologize They say sharing is caring. I'm just trying to share with you I'm guessing I'm probably not even going to be able to stop by the house on the way to Calgary. I really wanted to Hey, there's the Mounties or Mountie Uh, but it doesn't look like I'm going to have the chance. I mean We'll see I am I'm picking up the glass load tomorrow, which is a tuesday Park meet notes of monday And last time it took them over 13 hours to get me going get me out of there 13 hours I believe we got some detention pay off that This time, hopefully it'll be a little quicker But it's probably gonna take most of monday to get loaded and tarped and then I have to be in Calgary two days drive away Thursday morning 7 a.m. So I've got to be there wednesday night. So that would give me tuesday and wednesday to get there, right? It doesn't leave any time for stopping by at home, but We'll swing back Back after that I guess next weekend Sock center minnesota us of a Could go a little bit further tonight, but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to find parking because it's getting a little bit late So I know there's usually lots of parking here At the truckers in approaching destination in 100 meters No, we're already here Karen keep up We don't find ourselves a parking spot in the back here somewhere. There's usually parking here Though it did look kind of full from the off-ramp In 300 meters make a u-turn if possible We'll be quiet hush See if we can find some parking and then I will uh check in with you guys before going to bed
