 morning diesel morning say hi to all the good people hi y'all you good people so we parked here at the Petropath east of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada found our spot pretty much along the curb had to make a spot last night but we were out of the way I was at the last spot in this whole lot it was packed people blocked off this whole driveway beside me too I don't like when they do that but I guess I got to do what you got to do so we're gonna start this baby up we're gonna go deliver our freight today and a rainy day yay let her run through her cycle here first in the meantime there's all this construction going on over there right I went and asked about it and they are putting in electric charging stations here as well so remember we were talking about that in Sault Ste. Marie was that yesterday was day before I think it was yesterday morning wasn't it that billboard we saw that said Canada's electric highway so they are actually putting electric charging stations from coast to coast in Canada along our main interstate interstate you'd say it's we call it trans Canada so that you can have an electric car and travel comfortably across the entire country with regular charging intervals I think it's a good idea people want to drive electric cars now they got options at least they're giving them options right at least they're not just taxing us for for using the combustible engines and not giving us an option right at least they're starting to give us some options got a hand that to them so when I'm filming this this is Canadian election day so when you're watching this it's already old news to you and you know who the new leader is so you know more than me at this point right now so that's all I'll say on that topic today hoping for the best hopefully something good happened let's start this up oh oh there you are there you are oh you good girl good girl okay this thing warm up here a little bit I already did my pre-trip checked everything out that was the last step at the pre-trip I had to do right there make sure it starts you always want to make sure your truck starts otherwise it's gonna be very difficult throughout your day to do your job I'll get these windows unfogged I got some a little hot fogging things up in here a little bit can't help it sorry so yeah yeah you know I'm not against electric vehicles at all I still don't see how they're going to cut down on pollution overall because you got to get that energy from somewhere and those batteries again but they're giving it a shot at least they're giving it a shot you know we'll see what happens we'll see what happens I'm not gonna rush out and buy an electric vehicle right away no I'm gonna give them like oh as long as possible to figure things out work out the bugs see how people who do buy them right away like them see how long they last see how much maintenance there is see how expensive it is to own one like after you buy it for maintenance see how much it costs to charge a vehicle how long it costs like how long it takes like they're putting in behind this guy they're putting in those electric charging stations for cars but I think there's probably only gonna be gonna be like the the six like the ones inside a Saskatchewan there sorry my English is not English today but so if we all get electric cars there's not gonna be enough charging stations and then will you be able to make it to the next charging are you just gonna wait how long is it going to take to charge your vehicle how far can you go how far can you go in minus 30 on a full charge how long would it take to charge it off a regular oh I have so many questions I'm very fascinated by this whole electric car electric truck thing like totally bad I'm not against it at all I'm just skeptical and I'm a devil's advocate what about this what about that what about this that's sort of how I am with anything really if someone comes up with this new great idea that I really think is an awesome idea and everyone else thinks is a pretty awesome idea I'm always thinking okay have we thought of everything what could go wrong because a lot of times they'll push this new technology out and they won't consider variables like you know Canada gets cold because these technologies are developed in the southern states and not tested up here in the cold climates of Canada they did the same thing with trucks right well they did something with a DEF they did the same things with a freight liner had a lot of problems a little while ago in the cold because they test their trucks in the southern states their test route was from like Los Angeles to somewhere in North Carolina or they tested across the roads and those are all warm climates so they never but maybe they have maybe they have I don't know I don't know I'm just excited to see what's gonna happen next maybe my next truck is gonna be an electric truck I don't know I can't see that happening but you know you never know let's get out there let's deliver this freight we've been talking long enough I'm trying to okay I'm procrastinating a little bit it's raining and I've got a I got a untarp and roll up my tarps in the rain it's not raining that bad though it's just sort of drizzling and off we go sort of like a local delivery today just delivering right here in Winnipeg and then going home I'll probably be leaving on another trip tomorrow so I'm thinking we'll see how my logbook looks and how my hours look at the end of the day but I'm thinking it should be good to keep going I want to keep moving it's got a lot of days off earlier this month and all of those repairs I got to keep this truck rolling those 10 days off were really nice though it's a nice little unscheduled vacation that's sort of how you got to take your vacations and trucking a lot of the time is when your truck goes in the shop you better enjoy yourself and try not to think what all the money you're spending because you're gonna have to run hard so we got to deliver this in Rosser it says Rosser but the address is actually in the northwest corner of Winnipeg it's in a new development there I guess we'll see what's going on once we get there because Google Maps says that it's in the middle of a field just outside of an industrial zone I'm guessing it's a new building coming up I don't know what they need to railway for though and it's like mini railroad too it's not like actual railroad it's it's like mini rail so I don't know mini rails something from something that they need it's not that big of a load they paid they paid full truckload to bring this stuff all the way from Ontario way out in eastern Canada all the way out here so I mean it must be pretty important on the north perimeter here about to turn south onto route 90 Brookside Boulevard at least the rain is slow down on this part of the city hope it stays that way looks like it's clear out west in front of us so that weather will be coming here clear rur out west anyway not completely clear oh they still got some snow here under the bridges look at this I'd say that's crazy but no this is Manitoba winter peg surprised you don't have snow year-round alright somewhere around here is my delivery but I don't know I think it's this on the right oh this is the new freight line it's about time that they started building a new freight line or dealership and when a peg the old one was so small so clustered up I guess you'd say oh you know how do I get in here how do I get in here what would be the best way that future home of Freightliner Manitoba cool cool okay I don't know what they need was rail but alright that's cool I'm just gonna park here for now I got my beacons on got my four ways on my park anywhere and get away with it lights I'm gonna have to go in that driveway there yep I'm gonna back up and just go right on in one second here on second I went too far I should have gone in the driveway should have gone in the driveway Josh you should have gone in the driveway I blame you Karen wander in here see if anybody tells me to stop I saw another truck going in here I guess that's maybe the site office on the right there you never really know there's a whole bunch of different contractors here and one of them is my customer not too sure which one I'll park here and give the phone call I have the contact guy give him a ring say what he tells me to do I don't know what they want with rail though well it's that time of year again when all the bungees get so cold out there you got to bring them inside to warm them up so they can track back to their normal size we have finished we have a signed bill of lighting signed proof of delivery so they admitted that I brought it here and it was in good shape we've got an empty almost called a stepdeck an empty flatbed behind us it's time to get going this is gonna be a really nice dealership we got trucker cops somebody's getting a spanking wonder if he was hauling a load of gravel without that tarp over the top I see that every now and then and my friend Troy had an incident in Washington State recently where a guy was losing gravel while he was on the highway and he was damaging all the vehicles behind him so I'm hoping my my friend can get the money he needs out of him to fix his car apparently it's like $4,000 of damage or something it's crazy yeah those gravel trucks they have to have they have to cover their loads when they're hauling gravel and sand and stuff right so that the wind doesn't pick it up out of the box and throw it out in traffic on the highway and I've seen it all too often they they're just maybe too lazy or maybe they're too tired to do it I don't know but they don't cover their load and then you know gravel and sand goes spraying everywhere and damaging people's video maybe that's why that guy's being blown over I don't know who knows or maybe he didn't have mud flat I think he had mudflaps I see the gravel trucks in Wisconsin they never have mudflaps that's so weird because they need them the most because they go into these gravel yards where they pick up all these stones right and they get on the pavement and on the highway and they start throwing these stones of vehicles behind them so I don't know about here but obviously not there but here they by law they have to have functional mudflaps they can't be the ones that flail behind the truck either that'd be functional to stop rocks right I don't know just glad he's not pulling me over speaking of the police that's Springfield police a Springfield municipality has their own police department eh but yet Steinbach doesn't that's so weird you know Steinbach we outsource our policing to the Royal Canadian Mounted Place our federal police so they become our local police then as well but even like a small municipality like St. Anne just north of Steinbach they have their own place I don't understand why Steinbach doesn't have their own police force Winkler even has their own police force Morden has their own police force here way smaller communities what's going on Steinbach why are we why are we giving our policing to the feds why are we letting Ottawa police our town why don't we police ourselves you know have our own police department I'm just just saying it's rolling out there much rather have local police than a police force out of Ottawa saying oh I didn't want to turn here did I oh I didn't want to turn here nope didn't want to turn here okay my bad we'll just a second loop I guess shoot shoot what am I gonna do now I guess we're gonna go around this whole loop come on with me for a ride everybody we're gonna go around we're gonna do the whole loop the trans-Canada I usually just turn on to the trans Canada oh boy just about lost my mind now we're gonna stay out here out in the west for a while see where they send me tomorrow night it's election night I gotta go and either have a party or go to bed sad see depending on what the the results were I don't know what they were yet so you know more than me right now by the time you're watching this I will I'll know too so you don't need to send me a bunch of messages telling me what happened I I film these it just letting you know I think you get it I think you get it there's at least one person in there don't get it but that's okay we love you anyway I've got all my tarp strapped to the back of my truck now time to go home let's release the brakes first and look why am I not moving I want to go home so excited to go home that I shoot if you can set that word keep eating your food diesel eat your food you good boy you need some more water eat your food he doesn't always eat as much when he's on the road with me he's not as active so he doesn't all right rest of the water is for me though okay water so I try to drink a lot of water I'm not always good at it and historically historically in the past I've been terrible at drinking lots of water I credit my wife for getting me on a water kick because being on the road I never used to like to stop go to the bathroom often right so I'd hardly drink any water and maybe drink half a liter a day and like a quarter of a gallon a day maybe on a good day some days I just wouldn't have any at all that's terrible for you that's terrible for you water cleans your system out you got to keep it going yeah you got to go to the bathroom more often but that's a good thing because you don't want all that crud I call it crud you don't want you don't want all that stuff sitting in your kidneys right your kidneys filters out all the junk and when you drink lots of water yeah you got to go to the bathroom or often but it cleans everything out cleans your kidneys out otherwise you risk getting kidney stones when you're older my dad had kidney stones that's why I'm a little worried about that I forget how old he was when he had them I want to say was probably 10 years ago maybe more 15 I remember he was in the hospital for a while he had to park his truck for a few months it was bad the pain was bad and I didn't even fully grasp what was going on but I don't want to so lots of water try to avoid some kidney stones and water gives you energy you don't need energy drinks just drink water energy drinks by the way are very bad for your kidneys from what I've heard I'm not a scientist or anything as you all pretty much know a lot of you like to remind me all the time but from what I've heard when you drink an energy drink to fully cleanse it out of your system it takes like three months so that what I heard and it's really hard on your your innards your innards I don't know I don't know what I'm talking about here why am I not on the way home yet diesel why aren't you eating I was waiting for you I didn't want to distract you I distracted my set of home one too many times I said it again that's all it's gonna be going through his mind right now just like a little monkey with symbols ting ting ting ting except symbols he's it going home home home home that's all it's going on in his head right now you said it three more times yes I did yes I did now I'm gonna have to deal with him whining all the way home let's go
