 What a glare on my glasses Hello everybody, I'm filming this in lieu of a Saturday video that I don't have To share here with you this Saturday. I was doing a reset in Mount Pleasant, Iowa I was at the pilot and it was actually a it was a pretty nice week and just relaxing I got a bunch of stuff done got some computer work done caught up with some vlog stuff and We didn't film a video on a Saturday So With there being no video to release to you today I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that there's a couple more contests coming up in the next few weeks We're going to be doing ten more giveaways for house products And we're also going to be doing weekly giveaways for Bolsonaro So I want you to pay attention very closely to my videos because those contests will be coming up in the next few days We want to get all ten house giveaways done before Christmas yet probably in the next month or so And then bulls not we're gonna do every week for the rest of the year Last month there were four winners of the house goodie bags I want to congratulate you guys here Brian Vreeland Amir Yuckabove Dale Schultz and Moses Miller You were the four winners of the house goodie bags And I believe how I should have gotten in contact with you already if not your package will be on the way soon so like I was saying ten more of those going out and Also doing weekly bulls not giveaways. I'm doing a lot more giveaways as we get closer to Christmas For the house giveaways They'll include a 64 ounce of diesel treatment and a coffee mug And I can let you know that for the bulls not giveaways Bulls not will send you each a can of visible shinable Blastable and greaseable so visible is the glass cleaner shinable is the the tire shine Blastable is the odor eliminator and greaseable Well, I think that sort of speaks for itself You can use that grease for whatever you need it on whatever you need to move silently or smoothly You can also use it to grease your fifth wheel So there's these two different Friends of mine that are going to be giving giveaways through my channel leading up to Christmas here Really looking forward to it. So pay attention to all my videos coming up You never know when I'm gonna launch one of these giveaways I'm not gonna tell you when because I want you to watch all the videos and all the way through But I'll let you know when it happens and how you can Compete in this contest. So we're gonna start off right now with the first giveaway from house What I want you to do if you want a 64 ounce Drug of diesel treatment and a coffee mug go down below into my description. There's a link that will take you to their website I'll put it right at the top of the description. So it's easy for you to find Click that link go to their page go over all of their products and let me know how many of them You've used before maybe you didn't realize it was a house product, but go down there Let me know which ones you have used before Come back to this page here leave your comment down below this video and I'll pin the winning comment and We'll get some contact info for me so you can get your drug of diesel treatment and coffee mug We're starting it off right now today So go down below click that link go to their page there check out all of their products Let me know how many of them have you used before which ones were they so while I've been waiting here I have added a few more pictures To my truck these were all there already, right? right We started off with Othio when he was small this was Britt and I when she was still pregnant It's her maternity photo shoot see it there. Oh, there you go Added a couple more my daddy is the world's best truck driver Just to give me some motivation when I'm feeling down, you know got some more pictures up here And of course back across here as well I think it's important to put up pictures of your loved ones in your truck To remind you why we're out here, right? And when you're feeling down you can always look at these pictures and they can lift you up I know the glare is pretty bad. This is my favorite. That's why it's right in the center So do you have pictures of your family and your loved ones in your truck? I'm sure you do I might have more than some me. I'm not saying you got to have this many There's just there's so many memories that I want to take with me everywhere I go, right pretty soon I'm gonna have to start taking down some of the earlier memories and replacing them with more recent ones but I Like I think it's important to remember what I'm doing out here Because when I'm out here by myself sometimes it can it can get lonely and get depressing You start thinking yourself, you know What's the point of all this? What am I doing out here take a quick look to the back or to the side wherever wherever you want to see and Remember, that's why that's what I've been up to here. I haven't been doing much. I don't have anything to show you really I'm sorry. I just got the giveaway for you today and a Little tour I went to Walmart. So that was fun. We can talk about that Got some groceries I replenished my my stockpile of plates and bowls Very exciting time. This is what I mean, like I don't always have exciting vlogs for you guys and very often I just Leave that day out then though. I don't like missing a day in the ball It's supposed to be a daily vlog, but sometimes I wonder when When there's just nothing going on during the day like what can I share with you guys today? Obviously, I wanted to announce the new giveaways that are going to be happening in this third quarter of 2023 I'm excited for that and I'm excited for the generosity Now to be able to be a part of this with the generosity of house products and bull snot this was all their idea they reached out to me and They wanted to get some of the products out to you guys You know Christmas is coming and I don't know any more generous people than them they've been The guys at Bulls not to have been great. I've been working with them for over a year now already I have a more of a newer relationship with the guys at house, but they're they're great as well, too and You know if I can help them out get the word out about their products their products actually are relevant to my channel There's lots of people out there that want me to advertise like for let's say Nike Air Jordans And I turn them all down. I get emails every single day People who would like to advertise on my channel, but I don't want my channel to become a big giant commercial, right? So a few here and there I think are fun and especially if we can make it into a fun type of giveaway I think that's fun rather than just giving you a 30-second clip of Trying to get you to buy something, right? I can't tell you what to do and I'm not gonna be able to convince you what to do Well, what I can do is get some of these products into your hands so you can see what they can do yourself Because I'm not gonna recommend anything to you that I wouldn't use myself So if you like them go and buy more of them If you heard about them through my my vlog with maybe you haven't heard a bull snot before You won't know until you try it You can either try to win some here through my channel or if you find it at the store buy a can for yourself try it out It's really good stuff Everybody knows house products because they're on every shelf across all of America and Canada Do they have house products in Europe as well? That is something that I should clarify here both of these contests Unfortunately are only available to residents of the United States and to Canada We don't have the ability to ship them out overseas to Europe or Australia at this time So I'm really sorry about that for you guys who are out there I got to keep it here on this continent, but maybe in the future we can come up with something special for you out there So I've got the screens in my truck here, which lets a nice fresh breeze through here Without letting the bugs in here because for whatever reason because when I first got here I just you know, I just opened the door for a little bit get some fresh air in here and Stuff and what do you know as soon as I opened the door? There was like 15 flies that just took the liberty and just flew right into my truck So I've been chasing them down this whole time. I got so frustrated. I just finally put the screens in I'm not gonna mess with this all night. Otherwise, they're gonna keep me up all night So I stayed at the pilot in Mount Pleasant for my reset And now my reset's over and I move closer to where I've got to pick up. This is the Phillips 66 Believe it's called Highway 34 truck stop in West Burlington, Iowa My reload It's just down the road Right over there got to be there tomorrow morning. I just moved a little bit closer So I can get started from here Mount Pleasant was only a half hour drive from here But I stopped there on Friday night, and I didn't know if this parking lot would be full And I didn't want to risk coming all the way over here not having parking because look at this Midday or mid-afternoon on a Sunday. It's already pretty much packed I didn't want to risk coming all the way here. Not every so I stopped at the pilot and I got myself a shower there I had a free shower on my account. So that worked out and now we're here just waiting Waiting to load tomorrow. I don't have many of these weekends on the road anymore Usually for a weekend like this I'd go home But since I'm gonna be off work for about a week and a half while we move I still got to get completely packed. I'd say we've gotten a good start a good head start We got to do a lot of packing yet And then we got movers coming to help us move and then we got to settle in yet So I took a week and a half off To help with that And get that all done. So I figure, you know what? I'll stay out over this weekend I got a really good load out of here on Monday Let's start the week off with a bang Deliver this into Saskatchewan. It'll probably be Wednesday morning, but I deliver it and then Probably go home from there. Maybe I'll do one more rounder. Maybe the Brainerton bag whatever they have available to me I don't want to I don't know what's on the table. So we'll see what they have I'm gonna try to get one more short trip in yet before the weekend and And we both talk to the lawyers Sign up some papers Make everything legal and official and then we start the whole process. I'm Hoping this will be the last time we move I've moved nine times since I've moved out of my parents house when I was 18 in 2006 So 2006 to now 2023 this will be the ninth time that I've moved And now that we have a son I Want to make this the last time because I want there to be stability in his life I want him to have one childhood home that he grows up in and that he takes his kids back home to one day You know, that'll be That'll be the family home That's what we're really gonna try hard to make happen for for our family So big life event. I talk about it almost every day. I know because this is the big one the big life event We put everything else on our in our lives lives on hold to get this done now You know, once we get this done then I'll work on getting that mortgage what's left of it there paid off as soon as possible Because we're fixed in for five years, right? So in Canada, we have a fixed interest rate five years the interest rate won't Change and that's pretty standard. I hear that in the US. You can get like a 30 year fixed or 25 year fixed interest rate That's amazing. I wish we could do that But we can only lock it in for five years and if interest rates have gone up in five years That means our payments will go up, but if interest rates have gone down Hopefully then our payments will go down But either way what's best is to pay that mortgage off as fast as possible So that interest rates have no effect on you and you have no debt and the interest rates can do whatever they want, right? So short little update video for you today. Thanks for hanging out real quick Sorry, there's not really much trucking content But tomorrow's video is coming and I drove a half hour from Mount Pleasant to here where I am right now And I included that in tomorrow's video. So it's a little bit out of order. I know I'm filming Saturday's video on Sunday and then making you watch it on Saturday or whatever day this is on but tomorrow we've got a little bit of trucking in and Monday it's gonna get back to the grind full-time. So I hope you're ready. It's a buckle up. There's more to come Thanks everybody and don't forget to check that house link down below in the description I'll see you there Remember I think of me when you're on the road, please drive safe. I know I know what you guys do Think of me and all this other truckers out here. We're all just trying to get home to our families There's no rush
