 Hello beautiful people, my name is Angela and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. You're watching Truck of Josh and the Diesel Weasel We've got Chevy along on this trip All right, we left diesel at home You excited to be here chef? You're such a big boy Such a good boy Big handsome boy Look at you. Look at you, man Gotta keep the doors locked at night so all the the female dogs don't come trying to break in here and get at you Yeah Used to have the same problem myself No, I never did he did he's a good-looking dog. So today is Monday There was no video yesterday. So if you're going back to try to figure out how I made it here We're in Brooks, Alberta From home the last time you saw me we were at home. There is no video for that because yesterday was Sunday I don't make video or content or do any editing or anything on Sundays. So I'll fill you in We drove from there at home around the Winnipeg, Manitoba area and Southeast Manitoba To here to Brooks, Alberta to Southeast Alberta. I'll put the map on the screen here for you So it was a full day of driving about 600 miles thousand kilometers and today is Monday today We got to get to work. We have four deliveries to get off our truck today We have our three glass drops There was four drops, but that turned into three because two of them are combined into one apparently So that's a bonus. We have three glass drops and then I got to drop off all of that other weird stuff That they added on to my trailer I don't even know what it was. I don't like it because it's got sharp edges. I got to be so careful with it It's very fragile. It's very brittle And in order to tie it down tight enough you got to do it just right so it doesn't bend it. It's very Frustrating and I had to tarp it off, but it turned out all right Yesterday was a good day. Nice relaxing day. We just sort of just Took a deep breath and just rolled down the highway. It was really nice So today's gonna be a very busy day. It's gonna be a typical Monday. So we better get at it. It's moving That's not a house. That's a That's a business That's like a big office. That is a giant enormous building there moving I saw them turn on to the highway quite a ways ahead of me there We're just all catching up to them now They picked up speed pretty quickly and now this van is scared and Come on buddy. I know you're a handy bust, but you can do the speed limit Come on. I don't want to get too close behind you, but by these people That's one thing that bothers me when there's a unit like this on the highway People are sort of scared to get by if the vehicle like this red pickup truck You're gonna see this two of them if they don't stop you from passing That means you can pass or if they don't want you to pass them. They will block you. Oh And there's a scale here is a scale open close. Okay, good You know if these guys didn't want me to pass this guy These pickups here would cut in front of me and prevent me from passing but seeing as they're all keeping right That means they got the goal. They're giving me the go-ahead to pass They're on the radio with this truck driver up here telling him that we're coming past Look at that Wow getting with each other. So you pull out to pass them. They don't get in your way Just go past them. Don't be scared. Just get by as quickly as you can without speeding Don't sit beside them for like three miles slowly passing them. That's my advice. I don't know Maybe some of you who half rate like that could enlighten everyone in the comment section. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that's Maybe that's not right But for me if the pilot vehicles or the chase vehicle doesn't prevent me from passing. I'm coming all past Coming up Blackfoot trail here in the southeast of Calgary. You can see downtown off to the left in front of us there It's amazing how much the skyline has changed just to my lifetime Man the Calgary Tower, which is sort of like a in my verse in my view like a small version of the Toronto CN Tower, it's just the Calgary Tower. It used to be the tallest building in Calgary Now it's one of the smallest It's sort of like just this big. It's behind the trees there right now You guys know what the CN Tower is right? It's sort of like a I don't know if it's a restaurant or whatnot way up on the top of a big pole Pretty much just a tall building with a lookout on top, and it's not an office building or anything It's just a touristy place I guess where you can sort of look down on the city in downtown I don't know if you can see it there off to the left. That's Calgary Tower. I can't zoom in that far I don't think it used to be the tallest building now. It's one of the smallest Calgary is my favorite Canadian city. I love it here It's right by the mountains. It's a clean city. There's no bad areas of the city Compared to Winnipeg remember I'm coming basing everything off of Winnipeg where you know, there's certain areas You just don't go through at night the north end You just don't want to end up in some areas at the wrong time because you know you'll get stabbed but Calgary doesn't seem to have neighborhoods of the same level of crime They take care of their city. They have proper roadways. Their freeways make sense. The roadways make sense Winnipeg there's like seven different cities that built into one and none of the city planners talked to each other while they were planning So none of the roads meet up and make sense There's no good way to get through the city for the size that Winnipeg is it should not have the traffic congestion that it does Calgary is just built better It's a bit of a newer city But it's a lot bigger. I think there's what correct me if I'm wrong Calgarians 1.3 1.5 million people in the city Over a million people though, right? This is home of the Calgary Flames NHL Calgary Stampeders CFL Home to a lot of good people a lot of nice people here. I mean they're everywhere in Canada, but I'm a little biased I really like Calgary my sister was born here. You know My sister Cheryl my I have two older sisters the one There's my older sister Rose and my other older sister Cheryl roses the oldest of my sisters and Cheryl is The middle child she was born here. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy Hopefully it's easy to get to it I should have looked at Google Maps before I got into the city I usually look at Google Earth or Google Maps and then Street View on my phone just to make sure that I know where I'm going and where The docks are where the loading zone is or receiving It's amazing how much that helps We're just winging it this time. Look at a little tiny little puppy. Look at him. Look at him go Where are we going? So we're going to McCloy trail and turning right And this is like closer to downtown than I thought it would be we're still a little ways away, but Definitely don't feel comfortable that I didn't look at Google Earth first That's my advice to all of you guys out there before you go into an area or a receiver or shipper Before you go anywhere to a city that you're not familiar with look it up on Google Earth on your phone And then go into Street View just to make sure you know where you're going And you're not left all in a ball of anxiety when you get there and Don't know if you'll be able to fit in with a truck or not We'll be fine. We'll be fine Oh, it's McLeod. Is it McLeod or is it McLeod McLeod McLeod? I guess it's McLeod Turning on to McLeod Okay What next right turn in 850 meters? Okay? There's a pawn shop 7-eleven McDonald's hey there you got a McDonald's, you know, you're good to go. I Don't eat there very much anymore though. That doesn't make me feel good Still have no idea. Okay. So what 500 meters half a kilometer? We gotta turn right I Hope it's a proper truck rope If not, it's gonna be a little interesting case. I'm not this street here the next one. Okay That was 36 we want to go on to 34th very next one Right where that jeep's going I guess Stampede Park what? Oh this one right here. Oh nice nice nice not luckily there's no one beside me I can button hook it a little bit Okay Okay, yeah, we're gonna make it we're gonna make it. Oh Glad the traffic wasn't too bad right there. I had to swing a little wide to get in here Believe we're delivering right up here. I'm gonna park It says no parking I could I could put on my park anywhere and get away with it lights and go on and figure out We're not supposed to deliver this Stressful morning stressful morning So as you know, I only had what four or five six seven pieces on my trailer of glass, right? The rest is all that extra stuff that I wasn't too excited about either, but we're doing it So I'm at my second delivery now. It is 2 30 to 40 in the afternoon something like that And I should have been completely empty by now The first delivery I got to this morning took over four hours to unload four crates It really wasn't that complicated it was Four crates. I don't know if they have never unloaded glass before I understand they want to be careful It's glass. They don't want to break it. They got to be very careful. That's a big waste and expensive But at the same time four pieces of glass on average I would say usually takes about 20 minutes to unload after I get the tarps off and rolled up around 20 minutes or so Over four hours after I had the tarps off and rolled up Well, so that pushed my whole day back. So now I'm at my second delivery when I should be empty The next delivery I have is the last piece of glass I've called that guy and he's gonna wait around for me. Thank God and he's just around the corner here pretty much from where I am now and The crew I got unloading me here at this second delivery Awesome, they have two packages. They've been working on me for less than five minutes. They're almost done already So I'm just gonna go around the corner I don't even have to tarp it and I got one more package of glass to deliver the guys waiting there for me and The rest I'll deliver tomorrow So at least I'll get the glass off my truck that I don't have to retarp it for night Right, I took the tarps off this morning and then if it was gonna rain I was gonna retarp it but it's been a nice sunny day until now But now it looks like it might rain this evening. So I'd if I had that last piece on my truck over night I'd have to tarp it overnight. So it doesn't get all wet, right? But this way Thank God. He's gonna unload me What a stressful day. I mean, I Knew what they were doing wrong Why it was taking so long and I was trying to kindly tell them how to you know cut corner Well, not cut corners how to do it properly without cutting corners Like just how to take it off quickly But they wouldn't listen and they And I was getting frustrated but I was trying not to let it show I didn't want to be rude But it was so simple I was I just told me you just have to lift this one up pull it to the edge of the deck Put your forks in a little further pull it off put her on the ground. You're done No, I tried I tried and they seemed to just get frustrated that I was trying to tell them what to do I guess they didn't want me to tell them how to do their job, but I got out of there I didn't say anything stupid. I held my tongue. I didn't be I wasn't rude and we got unloaded Here we are. That's the story of my day. I'll fill you in a little bit more in a bit I got to get out there now and They just finished unloading me less than 10 minutes Less than I like these guys. I like these guys. They're fast. They know what they're doing So I got all my glass delivered today all this extra stuff is gonna be delivered tomorrow We're waiting on an appointment time And then I got a load of lumber like I told you going down to Fargo, North Dakota And then from there, I've got another load of glass coming back to Edmonton. So we're pretty booked up I'm gonna go to the husky here and catch our breath a little bit. We've been running around all day and grab a coffee Figure what we're gonna do. Looks like this husky is open again. So that's good. It was closed last time we were here I guess they were just doing renovations or something It's gonna thread the needle through the pumps here and try and find us a good parking spot in the back Preferably where we won't have a neighbor. Look at all these people don't park straight. Nobody parks straight Why don't you park straight? Everybody's all over the place Just a free-for-all I'm gonna go between these trucks I got to pick who I want to line up with right? That's either way. I'm gonna look crooked I'll line up with this guy on my left There we go. No neighbors The way life was meant to be I'm just kidding. So I was able to catch my breath there sort of just relax Get lost on Facebook for about a half hour sort of do nothing Whenever I have a really busy day and I just rush rush rush rush rush all day I just need a little bit of a wind-down time at the end of the day so I Looked up where I'm going to be delivering this other freight in the southeast part of Calgary pretty much down the Road from the Flying J that's in the southeast corner there So I'm gonna go to the Flying J where I can have a shower tonight I got a few a lot my truck first and then have a shower And then I can use their internet to upload some videos and watch some Netflix maybe Even though Netflix has been kind of disappointing me lately, you know every single New movie or show that comes out of Netflix seems to have that you know that progress the progressive agenda You know what I'm talking about right? Just shoved in your face in every single episode and every single Netflix movie and Netflix original It's just the same thing and everyone just It's like That's I said that in the other day You know where like one of the biggest exports that America has is their culture, right? And it's not really the American culture is the Silicon Valley culture They have it in all their entertainment in their movies and especially things like Netflix Twitter Instagram Facebook these are all companies that are all based within 300 miles of each other in Silicon Valley And the culture in Silicon Valley is completely different really than anywhere in the US At least it used to be it used to be like that was the fringe The weirdos, you know no offense to anyone living there. I know you're not all weird And you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about The people that live there, especially know what I'm talking about Beautiful state. I love going there, but Everything that seems to come out of Netflix. So I don't know if I'll watch Netflix or not. They got some really good shows You just sort of got to look past the agenda that's being pushed towards you and you know sort of Ignore all those other stuff that they're trying to normalize and throw at you It's just I don't know if they realize that you know the rest of the world doesn't really see things that way But they're trying they're trying to get us to not gonna work Look at this Would you look at this an actual freeway? Calgary, you know how to build roads properly Much bigger city than Winnipeg though It's hard to see how Winnipeg is gonna grow like Winnipeg is growing a lot but The roads makes like no sense. I Can just see that city being just nest of confusion In another century when the city has grown so much They're gonna have to knock down so much of the old city Just to build proper freeways into the center of the city Otherwise, it's gonna take like five hours just to get downtown from anywhere on those skirts Well, I got to get out of this line. Here's me signal device activated. Come on Thank you, Mr. Dodge There you go See there are still some people out there that know what blinkers mean and know what they're used for Quickly grab some fuel here and find as good a parking spot as we can find This line J Find J here's got a little bit of a unique Entrance I find I don't know Especially if you haven't been here before the first time I came here like almost 10 years ago already I guess maybe more I Found it a little bit confusing But it is what it is So from here, I think we're five kilometers away and five kilometers like three miles away from our Delivery point. I still don't know when I'm supposed to deliver this stuff tomorrow. Maybe they'll let me know in the morning It's hoping to know tonight so that I know when to When to be there, you know, because if they want me there seven in the morning, it'd be nice to know so I get up all the time But they only want me there one in the afternoon That's nice to know too And here we'll sit until tomorrow Still don't have an appointment time. It doesn't look like we're gonna get one today. I'll probably have to wait till the morning And they'll figure it out then Well, at least I got to go in the truck stop here. I'm right in the front row, which is pretty awesome. I got a nice Spot here so I can pick up their Wi-Fi as best I can See how good it is here and I guess we'll check in with you tomorrow really disappointed that our first delivery took so long but Trucking right so now it probably won't be first thing in the morning either that I'll get to unload this It'll probably be like midday and then I got a quickly run over to sundry it and grab that lumber And then I just got my load assignment my next one That lumber is going to Fargo for Thursday and then Today is Monday. I'm gonna be there Thursday. So that's some time to get there and then I got a load out of Otana again Coming back to Edmonton. Did I tell you this already? I can't remember what I told you. I probably tell you the same thing twice.
