 Hey, everybody Roy has a cure from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan You're watching TJV trucker Josh on YouTube Well diesel I'm sorry. I tapped you with the camera. I'm sorry. Yeah, we rude man. Yeah, what do you do in the morning? Hey people in your face with cameras. I'm sorry diesel. Look at me. I'm tired. I can't even see straight You're a terrible machine. Well, good morning folks Nobody woke me up and told me to move so I guess this was actually a parking spot Good good for me. I made a parking spot last night here at the husky in Atchison, Alberta Near the back. It was pretty much packed everywhere when I pulled in so We got our good sleep Still a little tired. I think I'm fighting something off. I think that's what's going on with my body. I've been feeling like Even though I'm getting good sleep. I feel like I Didn't get as good of a sleep. I must be fighting some kind of bug off. I'll be fine So we're gonna pick up our lumber here in Edmonton and then head off home and we should be home Tomorrow afternoon, I'm hoping I want to be home before supper tomorrow. That's my goal, but you know trucking Don't make plans They always change It's kind of a miserable day out today. Not to be a whiny winerson, but Hmm I don't like the rain Actually, I like it's better than snow better than snow. Let's say that Okay We're all ready to go. I got to go get this lumber. I'm not gonna pick it up just sitting around here Let me get my gauges ready here. I got to reset my fuel data and my Tripometer for the day. I keep track of my instant fuel economy and my mileage every day So I know how far I've gone And how much fuel I've burnt So that I can adjust my driving patterns if need be Because if I've got a tailwind and I realize I'm burning practically no fuel because I'm getting pushed along well then I I Up my speed So that I can get there faster and still not use any fuel, but I'm going against wind then I have to sort of adjust it Okay, okay, okay, okay. I wanted to pick up this lumber much earlier than this But I slept a little longer than I should have probably But I wanted to make sure I was fully rested because I want to get as far as we possibly Can tonight we're gonna be driving late into the night But I want to get as close to home as possible So that I don't have much to do tomorrow because I don't want to be tired when I get home I want to be awake and alive. Okay, you're turning. Thank you for using your signals. It's because you drive a Chevy. I like you So let's drag our butts over to the lumber yard, let's throw those sticks on the trailer. Let's tie them down Let's not forget that crucial part And let's book it home Of course my home time is all booked up and scheduled for me already. Well, not for me by me I always have so much to do when I get home that There's just not a lot of time to do nothing I was hoping to have a couple of days just to do nothing, but this load needs to be in Wisconsin And I'm the man to take it there. The longest I can wait is to leave as Monday morning So I'll still have Friday Saturday Sunday at home Sunday we're going to my parents campsite because we have a family gathering a late Mother's Day family gathering And then What else is going on Saturday, we might be going to Brits dad and step mom's campsite to help them build their deck. I want to help them do that if possible And then Friday, I think Brits friend is coming into town from Alberta So it's good. It's better than being bored, right? We always got stuff to do Rather have lots of stuff to do and be running around and just be sitting around bored Though some days I want to I have to sort of schedule them now like adult life. I Have to schedule my board days. I remember when I was a kid teenager man I was bored all the time always going to my mom. Hey mom. I'm bored. What should I do? Clean your room. I want to do that. What else should I do? Vacuum the floors. I want to do that. What else did I do? I'm just gonna watch TV. Oh Typical teenager Now if I want to be bored, I have to like work it into my schedule Be like, all right two weeks from now on Thursday I'm gonna schedule a day to be bored to do nothing and then Thursday rolls around and I have 10,000 things to do And I'm not bored anyway You know, I just like to play some video games. I Just want to be a kid again sometimes All of you young people who still live at home with your parents watching my videos Enjoy it Enjoy it. Well, you can all right when you feel bored just enjoy that feeling of being bored because once you're an adult You'll never feel it again. Never. I don't even remember what it truly feels like With actually nothing to do or actually feeling like I have nothing to do Maybe I'm just more responsible now and I was more of a procrastinator and more lazy when I was a teenager I was kind of lazy as a teenager. Let's let's be honest And as an adult mom's not there to do anything for me anymore. I'm on my own. I have a wife a home a business If anything is gonna get done, I have to do it Well, that's not true at home. My wife does a lot everything at home pretty much my wife does She's she's great. She's awesome But for the business for trucking like now, I got to go pick up my lumber No one's gonna do that for me If not if I don't do it, I don't get paid if I don't get paid. I can't pay my like paid for my house But I can't pay for my house. I'm homeless You get it. You got just rambling. It's too early. I Need my coffee Let me in here. Hey merging Merging blinky thing means I'm coming in. Thank you. Thank you Kilometers on highway 16 East Lumber here lumber there lumber everywhere Give me all your lumber put it on my bed. I'll tie it down and take it to Wisconsin Where would you like me following that guy right there? He's gonna tell me where to park Where do you want me buddy? Hey bud bud, you're supposed to point to where you want me right here. Aha, okay Where's my door open that is up piercing backup beeper that is evil You know a lot of yards. They don't have backup beepers anymore. They have like a backup scratcher sound Instead of that annoying beep beep. It's like a Sounds like the beepers broken. I thought the beepers were just broken Then I asked about it No, that's just the way they are supposed to be less piercing to the ears But still noticeable so people know something's going on to look up and you know there's tractor backing up like that is thinking That is thinking Hashtag get rid of the beepers. I hate backup beepers. I know what they're there for I know they're to save lives People gotta know you're backing up. I mean There's got to be a better way Don't gotta annoy the heck out of the whole world. I got a grudge against them. Okay, leave me alone He just load me up right now Listen to that thing. There's no mistake in this yard when he is backing up. I Mean you might still get run over because you're deafened and don't know what's going on, but At least at least he's making us Scene of backing up. This is just I think economy lumber. They're throwing on me The cheap stuff to get me down to Wisconsin So I'm guessing there must be some money to be made down in Wisconsin with something because I won't be making much with This stuff, but it does keep me moving and it's much better than just sitting here doing nothing, right? I could either make zero money and just sit here all by myself Well with diesel hang out until there's a good load or I can take this which makes me a little bit of money and gets me moving To a place where there's better freight Not a lot of good freight leaving Alberta as I was saying not a lot of good freight leaving Alberta Lots of good freight coming into Alberta not much going out Alberta is one of those provinces that grows grows grows. It's an oil rich province, right? So it's it's very wealthy province, but it's a growing really fast all the time because of it so obviously when you're growing you need lots of materials to come in to build these buildings and infrastructure and stuff and They just don't produce as much most of the stuff that goes out of Alberta is like oil natural gas And they got pipelines for the natural gas Fun fact for you the natural gas that heats our home way out in Manitoba Thousand miles from here a little under that about 800 miles from here Comes from pipelines from Alberta here underground all the way to Manitoba Through the network all the way to my house through my furnace and it heats my home Oil I don't know how they I know that they're trying to get a lot more pipelines built or put in the ground for oil Right now they transport all a lot of the oil by rail and there's a lot of you know The chance of derailments that way and with a pipeline at least it lowers the risk It's got to get out of here one way or another You can't live without it. Unfortunately. I mean there's a lot of people out there that think that we can live without fossil fuels Maybe in the cities, but how are you gonna feed yourselves right the the growing up on a farm The amount of fossil fuel not the amount of fossil but that just the reliance on fossil fuels to Farm and agriculture to make food for you if they didn't have access to that There's no way you would have food to eat That's that's the biggest thing. I got a sneeze. Oh boy talking about these meaningless things again What am I saying? They're not meaningless meaningless to some of you I guess but man It's just my belly button, you know Everybody's got a belly button everybody's got an opinion lumber Wisconsin lumber Well, so this has been an interesting day and afternoon. It's actually been an interesting ride ever since we had that water damage in our home We've been fighting with well not fighting with we've been dealing with our insurance company who doesn't want to insure us Of course, they don't want to insure us. They wouldn't be an insurance company if they actually wanted to insure people Now that I'm all fueled up. I'll be good until we get to Balgoni. I Thought the fuel price would be a little cheaper here. It was a dollar twenty nine nine per liter I was told on the flying J or pilot flying J app that it was gonna be a dollar twenty seven nine Liars Not cool two cents per liter very disappointed Apparently everywhere else likes to close up at like six o'clock What is this steinback? It's open 24 hours. They got the coffee. They got the good stuff That guy and trucks on the back of his trailer. He's got two two trucks on his trailer two semi trucks I don't want to like be sound like I know it all alarmist or anything, but He's got those trucks tied down each of them tied down with only two straps no chains just One strap back in front on each truck for all together for two semi trucks How about you guys, but I don't think that that's up to code or up to regulation As he was passing you were there just bouncing on the straps aren't even that tight He's got one strap going over the frame. Oh wait this last truck here. He's got You got three straps case. So he's got a strap around the front axle Strap around the back axle or something and then one strap over the frame between the fifth wheel and the cab three straps Isn't there some kind of law about that you have to use chains on vehicles like that? I mean I would That's just me like I said, I don't want to sound like I know it all or anything, but Make me a little nervous. I Won't ever be able to go through Saskatoon again without thinking of that Trip we written. I took here with Frankie to get his surgery done Of course Mandy's all business trying to say something nice here, and she's all business I Really wish they had a little bit better truck access to that dog park. I'd love to go back there She'd be very difficult. I guess I could get a truck and trailer there, but It's not really made for it. I don't think they want me to do that, especially fully loaded But one day if I ever get laid over in Saskatoon, I'll drop my trailer and Bob tail in there. That was a lot of fun His work the only thing you talk about Mandy do you ever talk about anything else getting kind of boring What another long and boring day? Other than my rant about my home insurance I really didn't have much to say today. Did I we're in Balgoni Bologna, Saskatchewan Bunch of bologna over here. I'm gonna go buy some of their bologna fuel in Balgoni. I Like their bologna chicken wings here, too Delicious. Oh, wow. It's pretty full here. I'm gonna keep going I'll do a little further. Yeah, I'm actually gonna grab a coffee here because Turner Josh ain't done yet. You thought you were rid of me. I don't think so Here's the wonderful flying Jay right here. They got some some go-go juice for me the diesel juice The juices that keep me moving Quiet I'm just gonna fuel up here because it's cheaper here. It's a dollar twenty six nine. Hey, that's nice. It was actually the right price That's the same price that was on the app unlike the flying Jay in Lloyd Minster, it's two cents off wouldn't very nice. Oh Look my RV is here. Nice to know someone's taking good care of it while I'm waiting for retirement Check this thing out That is beautiful. I Got 35 years and I'm coming for you 35 years.
