 Good morning Weasel First day in the new truck How's it feel? It feels it feels Awesome man, look I got a wing you You do That is awesome. Look at this I still got to organize all that up there and that's gonna be like that probably for a couple of days guys Every day I'm going to take a little bit of time and organize a little bit more as we go down the road This seat is something to get used to because when you sit on it it goes all the way down So it's easy to get past the steering wheel, but you stay sitting in it And it lifts you back up to where you set it to be so it keeps you at the exact perfect level It's amazing So I just stocked up my fridge here. We're at the Walmart in Dryden This fridge is actually pretty awesome. I've got to do some cleaning Some of the shelves aren't in there, but I've got a little freezer I've got plenty of room there at least twice the size as my other fridge in the Volvo once again much better What's rattling over here got some new water I got a really It's gonna take me a few days to get this whole thing cleaned up because I also got a you know Work at the same time. I can't just spend all day cleaning and organizing Better work a little bit organize a little bit work a little bit clean a little bit work a little bit more Go to bed get up work some more than clean a bit You know, it's gonna take like it's gonna take a week for me to get this truck the way exactly I wanted everything still all over the place. It's all just chaos. It's just a big mess We'll get there So it's time to get on the road. We have eight and a half hours to drive today Oh, I got to call my customer. Let him know I'll be there in the morning We'll be there tonight, but we'll deliver in the morning. Where's my shades? There you are one second second. I just gotta use both hands. Oh wait for it. Oh Now we're ready for the day. Let's put our seatbelt on and get on the road Let's give her this clutch is a little bit more jumpy than my old Volvo was Take her She likes to be treated a little more gently, you know Little more of a sensitive girl Oh, and of course, this is when all the traffic comes in. Oh wait, no, they're going over there Okay. Oh jumpy clutch. See what I mean? Gotta get used to this truck This is the Thunder Bay shortcut. It's highway 102. I think this is also called Dawson Road Around here. I'm gonna stop the Flying J on the west side of the city Sort of between here and Nippagon grab a coffee. I thought I'd need to grab fuel But this truck is so good on fuel Ridiculous if my Volvo would have been this good on fuel, I would have had a lot more money in the bank I tell you what I'm driving at the same I'm not even paying that much as much attention to it. You know, I'm just sort of cruising along. I'm not like Conscious of my fuel consumption every second of the day and it's like right now It's a 27 liters per 100 kilometers. I would struggle With a good load that was you know about this weight the same as this trailer I'm pulling here and you know streamlined Not dragging in the wind. I struggle for 35 liters per 100 kilometers 27 in this thing and I'm not even trying That's impressive This is a 2018 Peterbilt 579 and my Volvo was a 2014 Volvo 670. I believe you know 670 Had the D13 motor and this has the pack our motor. I'm not too sure of all the specs on this motor yet Whatever it is it performs a lot better than the Volvo did a lot better in every aspect Can't speak for the new Volvos, but So far this Peterbilt's winning me over very quick very quick Here we are. I call it Thunder Bay. I think it's actually called Shania. I think that's the municipality that this is Don't need to grab fuel surprisingly Maybe if it was cold in wintertime, I would just top it up just to be safe But man, we've burnt a quarter tank getting here. That's practically nothing So we're gonna go over here and find a parking spot Run in and grab a coffee. How about that Keep it simple quick and simple, huh? Mosey on down the road. How about that this place isn't The usual flying Jay, I think I've shown you that before as long as they got this That's all that matters So the last driver or one of the last drivers anyways that was in this truck was definitely a smoker I've been like hacking up. I Feel like I'm a smoker myself already is this truck just stank like smoke Probably wasn't even that bad to most people but to me. It's just like I don't have any problems with smokers themselves A lot of my friends are smokers doesn't bother me at all that they smoke. I'm a very libertarian minded guy If that's what you want to do with your life Have at it. I'm not even gonna judge you. You just go do your thing It's just I would only get offended if they were to come to my house and smoke in my house especially without asking Or get in my vehicle and smoke in my vehicle without first asking, you know, if they ask me Maybe I'll be like, yeah, sure whatever to open the window and toss your cigarette Like ashes make sure they just get out the window and most most times I probably just be like, yeah Let's just pull over if you want to smoke. I really don't mind if people smoke. I Just don't like the smell And I've told brick before past vlogs that that was a deal-breaker for me when I was dating when I when I was looking Looking on on the market, you know a single I wanted to find a good girl to settle down with and that was a deal-breaker for me I told her I mean if she was a smoker We wouldn't be together today. That doesn't mean I don't like smokers. It's just that you know, I want to be able to kiss My wife, I don't want to kiss an ashtray It it that's what it tastes like to me because I'm not a smoker I'm not judging you guys the smoke you guys who want to smoke go ahead. I don't think any less of you I don't judge you. It's just in my own personal life and my own little personal little bubble And I'm not a big fan of it and I got to live in this truck right now and it Stinks like smoke. It just stanks. I'm not even a lie. I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it. It stank So we got some air fresheners see we've been freshen this baby up it'll air out eventually, but you do what you want to do I May not understand it, but you do what you want to do. Anyways, let's clean this truck up Diesel where should I hang these things one back here one up there? What do you think? I don't know man. My sniffer is gonna be smelling this stuff for ages man. I know I feel bad for you You're poor little sniffer man It's like a super powered Swiffer Yeah, exactly Aside from the beautiful sound of the traffic rolling past here and diesel's pause All I hear sounds of nature out there beautiful area to stop in See if we can get down this is all marsh. I Don't think we can get down any further. I wanted to walk out there. I guess I'll have to settle for just Looking at it from a distance. It looks like that used to be like an old railway line over there, but the railways gone I guess I have to walk way around over there to get there I don't feel like doing that. How about you diesel all the way around? We don't have that much time We got to keep rolling We've taken quite a few breaks today already Yeah, well the next time you see me will probably be rolling into Hearst It's got another three and a half four hours from here. So We just turn on to highway 11 from Nippagon and making our way east Got a long way to go yet Anyone lose their fire signature? I Found it by the lake odd. I Hope someone didn't just throw that out here because it was older used people Diesel come here. Look at this. Look at this You're gonna get caught up in that pole over there, man We'll come up in that pole man. No, you can't go any further. You got to go back around go back around weasel Come on. You're smart. I believe in you. Oh good. Oh, you almost had it. You almost had it. Oh Come on go around, but there you go. No, don't get wrapped up in this one now. Hey. Hey diesel diesel Diesel go around the pole. What are you doing? You never do this Goofball. Well, now you're wrapped up in that one What's going on here? What are you doing? What are you doing? You almost done? I'd like to make my way out to the Destination for the day bud. Oh, don't go down there man. It's all wet down there You find a good spot man, you find a good spot and you leave a little present man Sure mother nature will be very grateful Turn that into nice green grass So I am in the future Welcome to the future. I want to finish this vlog off for you guys. Uh, I've been really enjoying. It's Peterbilt Peterbilt Been really enjoying it.
