 Hi, I'm Justin from Alberta, Canada, and you're watching Trucker Josh's Vlogs on YouTube. All of you, thanks for tuning in to another video today and coming to hang out with me, so I'm not all by myself. I don't have diesel with me now, so it gets kind of lonely. It's just me and my cleaning products, and they're kind of hard on me. You know, they clean everything, but they stink. Even my hands. Actually, my hands smell really nice. The hand sanitizer that I have now, that I found, it's made by a company I don't think that makes regular hand sanitizer. They usually make like soaps and stuff, but I guess they since, you know, the demand went up. They started making hand sanitizer, and I got myself a bottle, lucky me, and it smells like flowers. My hands smell like flowers, but they're clean and germ-free. So We're out here in Alexandria, Minnesota right now on our way home. We have that load on our back LTL freight. I got one load going into Winnipeg, and I got one load going into Steinback. We're going to Steinback first tomorrow morning, and then going to Winnipeg, and then I made myself available to keep going right away. And he let it slip. The Lord God let it slip that, hey, maybe maybe there might be some Jackson, Tennessee involved. I hope so, but that was just a rumor, and that was not confirmed. But it got me excited and hopeful, so I'll take all the hope I can get in these days. Again, thanks for joining me, wherever you are, whoever you are. Leave me a comment down below. Let me know how you liked the video. Let me know if I did something wrong. Let me know if you agree with me. I'm just an average guy doing my job, so Let's get on with the day. Let's get truckin'. Morning, I wipe down my dash and all the surfaces that I touch, right? And I disinfect it, or I do it in the evening, you know, once a day at least. It's probably best just to do it in the evening, but whatever. I do it in the morning and sometimes I forget to roll down the windows, like my wife tells me to when I'm cleaning stuff. And the cleaning product is kind of hard on the lungs, so it makes me cough. I got something, so I start cleaning more, which makes me cough more. And then I realize, oh, let's open the windows, get some fresh air. The world we live in, right? Let's get back onto the freeway here. We've got a few hours yet to get back to the border. Probably going to stop at Grand Fork, some thinkin', or Fargo. Somewhere along there for a coffee, but other than that. 100 meters. Turn left on. See R45 and then take the freeway entrance into 120 meters. I don't think I'm going to have time to go home, unfortunately, but I want to keep moving. I want to keep these wheels turning. Like I was telling you, I was yesterday or this morning. In these times that we're in, I want to, I'll take whatever I can get. I will just give me a load to pull. I'll pull it. Just want to keep moving. There's one thing that's nice about not having diesel with me. No dog hair. Very nice. Look at this. Look, I don't even have to put a sheet or anything on top of here. It's dirty laundry. It should actually be at the foot of my bed. That's where that's supposed to be. This is supposed to be hung up on the hanger, but it is not. I don't know why. I don't know why I got borats of voice stuck in my head. So what I'm going to do is left-handed. One-handed, left-handed. Oh no way. Your boy's got skills. Hang you up there. Got my belt here. Got this here. All so nice and neat. I still miss diesel. Diesel's worth all the hair and the mess. Though it's all going to brit. Because one day, I mean diesel's turning into an old man. And we don't like talking about it, but you know, we don't live forever. But one day, when I'm ready for a new companion on the road, long in the future, I haven't really put much thought into it yet because I don't want to. But one day, you know, maybe we'll go with a little bit of a smaller dog. I was thinking going bigger. I want a Leenberger, a big dog, but they shed a lot. Just thinking maybe I should get like a small dog. I want them to be like a little, I don't want to say feisty. I don't want a yapper. No chihuahuas, no yappy yappers. But is there any small dogs that are actually not yappers that look kind of like tough? I'm a little tough little guy. I don't want a sissy little dog. I want a good little manly dog, but I don't know, miniature pincher, but they're barky I hear. I don't like yappy dogs. I'd do some research. I got a long time yet. Diesel's going to live for years and years yet. So I don't know. I might go with a small dog. They're a little easier to easier in a truck. But we'll see. We managed with diesel. Just fine. Can't wait to get them back in here. Maybe the next trip, you know, maybe sooner than we thought. Oh, we grabbed fuel earlier today in Alexandria. So now I just need fuel for myself. I didn't grab coffee there. So we're going to grab a coffee here. We're in Grand Forks, North Dakota. This is the last Flying J before we hit Canada. Just got to rub to our yard, pick up some paperwork, and then I'm going to go down to probably St. Agath and stay at the Flying J there. So I can have a shower. Thread the needle here. Nice and easy. Watch for people. Watch for people. Apparently they're still dealing with a little bit of flooding out here. It does this so often. It's hard to sell your warnings here that there may be water on the road. Here comes pretty close right by this. I'm driving over a bridge right here because the off-ramp is covered in water. I'm still pretty surprised that they built this main highway so close to the river that always floods. It's the same thing in Manitoba up north, straight from here. Like this is the I-29 north. Turns into Highway 75 once we get to Canada. And it floods every year. Every year. And the road is always in bad shape because the water goes over the road and then it ruins the road and got to redo it again and again and again. I think that they would be so expensive for rebuilding now but here we are right? Expensive freeway going right up to the Canadian border and then an expensive highway. It's a lot of investment just to throw out the window to build a new one a few miles that way. I mean if anything maybe one day they'll just build it up higher yet? Just so that because that side over that side is almost underwater. I can understand if they would just build it up higher maybe. Every time you redo the road just build it up like six inches higher and higher and higher. Eventually I guess you'd have to redo all the bridges though. That's the problem. That is what it is. Anybody got a boat? Anyone want to go fishing? Back into Canada and they greeted us with an open scale. Rude. Yeah we'll turn around. I'm getting out of here. They gave me the green light. It's still rude. Can we get back? I got to go to a yard. Stop sign or not? Yeah first I got to stop here. That's new. New stop signs. Okay. We got to go and grab some paperwork deliveries and then it looks like I'm hooking up or I'm bloating. I'm loading tomorrow in Winnipeg. It's taking me to Southern Illinois. The plan taking me to Ontario again and then from Ontario back to Alberta. Surround for 13 kilometers. It's more than a week. Probably my next two weeks. So next morning we're just letting the truck warm up. Just started her up. Oh we'll stretch ourselves out. I gotta go inside. I'm not good at retrieving. Well I checked the oil before I started the engine but you know what I mean. Today's the day. Tomorrow's vlog is the day when we go and deliver all this stuff. First we're delivering that last piece back there. And then all of this stuff up here in Winnipeg. So that last piece is going to Steinback and all this stuff's going to Winnipeg. Had a really good night. I'm feeling good. Got the dry axle and my next load is going to be taking me back to Ontario for some of that heavy steel I think. So I hope you enjoyed the video today. Tomorrow's another day. I hope to see you here tomorrow.
