 Hey, this is John from the trucker John show and this is Bailey when we're not driving our big truck We're hanging out with trucker Josh at TJV Yes, good morning. We are in Olds Alberta, we're gonna run over to sundry Alberta, which is pretty much next door about 20 minutes next door And then from there we've got a bucket towards Fargo, North Dakota. I want to deliver that freight tomorrow yet it'll be tomorrow afternoon I guess but It'll be tomorrow Let's go pick up our lumber Like I've been saying in previous vlogs the best part of what this load is that I don't have to tariff it Tie it down and go out of mind tariffing That's just it just takes extra time It's actually a bigger town than I thought it was Looks like they got a brand new Walmart over to the right. I don't know if the camera will pick it up or not It's not that wide of an angle They got everything you need here Canadian Tire Walmart That no frills store I went shopping at yesterday, which is pretty much Excuse me Which is pretty much the same as a superstore same line of foods Farm equipment store for your farming needs Lots of lawnmowers there again lined up like little Mario Kart racers Sunshine and open sky what else do you need? You can see the mountains out there probably not on the camera. They're pretty far away, but Still right on the edge of the mountain. It's a beautiful countryside out here Alberta is beautiful So just like we expected It was a nice quick Loading appointment no delays Now we're in Strathmore, Alberta on our way towards portal North Dakota where we're gonna cross in the US We'll probably cross in the US tomorrow It's about 620 miles or a thousand kilometers To portal from here, so I'll probably get very close to it But I won't have enough hours on my US hours of service to cross the border. So we'll do the rest tomorrow, but That's our load got my tarps here at the back Ready for the next delivery the next pick up I'm gonna have to tarp because it's gonna be that glass again That's okay. I like that glass But I like these loads too. They're nice and simple. No tarps. No nothing you know Throw them all in there and throw some straps over it and give her They were all set Ready to go. You're ready to go Chevy. It's getting hot outside. I really wish I had more time to do some walking I was really planning on doing a lot more walking this summer and now summer's here and you know the warm season is Almost halfway past already and I haven't really started my regular walking You just got to do it. I just got to do it one of these days Today we're just in a little bit of a rush because we're already a day behind So just got to watch what I eat and Try not to gain any more weight. I'm trying to lose a little bit of weight Apparently I took a health test in the pharmacy where I went to go buy these groceries yesterday Took a health test apparently I'm obese According to medical standards Well then confidence booster Way from the pharmacy. They'll tell you the truth. I have for me to shape up summertime. This is the time I like to use to Be more active Absolutely gorgeous day to be truckin Not too hot not too cold not too sunny pertinent cloudy Perfect day. I wish I was on a beach or something today might might not be quite nice enough of a day to be on the beach Hey, I'd take it Just pulling into Flying J in medicine hat Alberta Gonna grab a shower here. I'm not gonna fuel here yet because I want to wait until I'm in the US to grab some cheaper juice Gonna fuel up in my not tomorrow I've got like two-thirds of a tank left. So Shouldn't have a problem making it there I've been getting really good fuel economy today, too. I don't know if it's the wind pushing me Been doing pretty good But it is time for a shower. I need a good clean shower and flying J's in my opinion have the best cleanest showers in Canada There are other nice places as well. It's not like it's the only one but they are consistent and that's what I like Back in here a couple spots over from Mr. Tankery anchor here Walk Chevy Quickly run in I don't want to spend too much time here. I'm in Canada. So I don't have to take a half hour break today If this will end up being probably like a 45 minute break at least anyway, so It is a hot enough day that I'll leave the truck running so that the AC is on for Chevy Don't want them to cook in here. Just grab all my stuff for the shower Check my load wall. I'm out here and make sure all the tires are still inflated with air They work a lot better when they have air in them lots of it Tell the computer what I'm doing here because they're so nosy. They always got to know what I'm doing every minute of every day And we'll head inside All right, Chevy. You'll be all right. Okay. You'll have some nice air conditioning You'd be good to go. You got to wait here though. Now you got to wait here You can't come in the shower with me They don't like they don't they wouldn't like that very much. So, you know, I've never asked if I could bring my dog with me in there But I don't know. I would just have to just be a little weird It might let me who knows This is the newest line J that I know of Up in the West here. It's just on it's pretty much right between medicine hat and red cliff, Alberta Which is pretty much the same town, but you know locals say otherwise Got four showers in here. So it's just a small little travel center, but they still have nice clean showers and they provide towels. I Like that not every trucks up Petro-Canada. You got to bring your own towels some of the times. I don't like that Guess that doesn't really matter I'm just a little biased. I like flying J's Almost didn't work. There we go Usually a reserve through my app on my phone But this flying J doesn't have that setup yet. Here we go So we are shower guest 53 Please proceed to shower for and then it gives you the gives you a little cold on here Very fancy time. I got here to the time. I'm pulling out and I smell like fresh Bay rum Have any other stops planned might stop for coffee in Moostra But once we hit Moostra, we got to start headed south towards the border And I think I want to try to make it right down to Esteban. Is that the furthest south one wayburn is first, right on the way south Whatever town is closest to the border there. That's where I want to stay the night tonight We'll cross in the US tomorrow. This prairie highway keeps getting longer. I think they're adding space between In here somewhere It's a long drive. I'll be able to get to my customer by the time they close tomorrow afternoon Unfortunately, if I really rush it, I'll be there around 5 30 in the afternoon and uh, they close at 4 30 So I may as well take my time save some fuel Get a good rest tonight and get there in the evening and unload first thing in the morning I'm gonna have to really hurry up because uh, Britt and I would like to go to the beach this weekend If possible, so I've got to hurry up get unloaded go get reloaded and get home So hopefully we can make something of the weekend yet. It's supposed to be a nice warm weekend I'm really looking forward just sitting on the beach and doing absolutely nothing What do you think Chevy? Was it a good day? It was a long day of just driving, right? We're here in wayburn, Saskatchewan at their co-op. We spent the night here Long day of just driving We've got another long day of driving ahead of us in our next vlog We got to go from here all the way to Fargo, North Dakota, which is about 900 kilometers or 550 miles or so I'm gonna get that done and then we unload first thing Friday morning I was trying to get unloaded Thursday afternoon yet, but we just won't make it We'll only be getting there Uh in the evening probably this way I can sort of take my time as well Stop for a shower on the way and not be so rushed Because it's it's no fun being rushed. It's When you when you get too rushed for too long That's when you start making mistakes and forgetting things So I like to take my time doing stuff But thanks for hanging out with me on this short vlog today. Tomorrow will be another day of driving across North Dakota I'll see you tomorrow Say goodbye Chevy say goodbye Say you'll see him tomorrow Say yeah.
