 Morning everyone. We're in Peru, Illinois. And Moses here again. Still here. We're waiting for our 10 hours to be up so we can continue on the road. We're going to run together down to Gary, like we were saying yesterday. And he's got to continue east. And I'm going to head north up into Michigan then into Canada. Up into Michigan. We'll figure it out. Just walking into the truck stop here to see what they got to offer. Wasting another hour until the law says we can get on the road again. The law is always getting in the way. We haven't had enough rest yet. Yeah, apparently. We're sitting here doing pre-trips on our trucks and these guys over here have this wicked drone. I don't know if you can see it. That's like a performance drone. I was thinking of sending mine up there to duel with it, but mine's not that fast. I got to get one of those. That's more of a sport drone though. I don't think I could film vlogs with that. You know, I see people filming with those kind of things on YouTube though. And they like do all these crazy stunts and go through bridges and stuff. Yeah, he's been flying all around here. How fast do you think he was going? I have no idea but it's 80 miles an hour. He goes up way up high and lets it free fall and then just... There he goes. He's probably getting some awesome shots. I kind of want some of this footage. I wonder if he'd send me the footage. I have one too, but I don't use that often, but it's nothing like this. James is coming low. He's going to go up. It's been going for quite a while. That battery's pretty good in that little thing. Looks like there's a dad and his son over there having fun. They have like these goggles on too, so it's like virtual reality. That would be fun. I don't have those. Okay, we're just about ready to roll out. I'm going to see you to the highlighted route. Okay. Let me make sure you're taking me to Sarnia. Port Huron, Sarnia. Okay. So we're about 674 kilometers from Port Huron and Sarnia. I still haven't gotten my confirmation that I'm clear for crossing the border. I'm going to have to call in. All right. We will do that in a little bit. We're ready to roll out. See if Moses is ready. All right, man. You ready to roll? Checking to make sure my trailer is going to come with me and then make sure that I've been cleared for the border. How do we get out of here? So we got to go this way to go that way. Okay, got it. And then do a U-turn and go eastbound. I'm really going to go straight to east. There's a little bit of a shortcut here, Karen. If you want me to turn down here, go do a U-turn and then come back that way. Oh, you think I'm too heavy for this bridge? Truck road violation. That's funny. That's funny. It's obviously a glitch. It's a truck route. There's a bunch of roads like that in the GPS where she thinks it's not a truck route, but it is. That's why you don't trust your GPS. Always double check their work. We're at exit 73 in Illinois, headed towards the south side of Chicago. We're going to cross into Indiana. Here comes Moses behind us over there. This is the rest area just inside of Michigan. We're already in the last state before we get back into Canada. And I'm still waiting on my border clearance. That means there must be issues with my paperwork because I sent it all in. Usually it doesn't take too long, but today it's taking long. I actually sent it in yesterday already. It's still up there now. I'm a little bit concerned. I'm going through Michigan here and see what happens. The border is clear because I want to cross into Canada tonight yet. Another Blue Beacon. We're in Michigan now. So we'll see how these guys do. The last Blue Beacon was in Fargo. And I was hoping they could get some of that grime from up north off my truck. They got most of it off, a lot of it off, but it's time to bring it in for another wash before we get into Canada. I had a lot of bugs on the front of it. And I want to roll through Toronto with a clean truck. It felt kind of awkward because Moses had just washed this truck before we met up. Mine was all full of bugs on the front. So he had this nice clean truck. It kind of inspired me to pull into the first Blue Beacon I saw in Michigan here. We're at here. Where are we? We're not too far in. Let's see. Tell me, Google Benton Harbor at the Flying J. So this was, what exit was this at here? Exit 30. I-94. It's a nice bath. It's going to feel good. They have a whole ton of guys that come out. They got one, two, three, four, five here in the front. And a couple more in the back here. A couple more in the front yet. It gets done fast. Usually once you're in here, maybe 15 minutes and you're rolling out of here with a clean truck. But this guy snuck in front of me. He didn't cut in front of me, but we both exited the highway at the same time. And I was hoping he was going to get fuel at the fuel islands. Now he drove right past the fuel islands. I was like, where are you going? Where are you going? Sure enough, he turned right into the lineup for Blue Beacon. There was nobody in line. That's why I pulled off the highway. And I guess the same reason he pulled off the highway. The highway is right over there. See? You can see it from the highway. It was wide open. Now I've got to wait. Oh well. He got the inside of his reefer trailer washed out. I've never pulled a reefer before. Do you have to do that after every load? I guess that would make sense, right? Because you're hauling, let's say, fruit from California inland. And then you grab another load. Maybe dry freight to pull back to the coast to grab more fruit. I'm guessing, yeah, you'd have to wash it out so it's clean, right? It's because you're hauling food. That would make sense. Let me know down below in the comments. If you haul reefer, do you have to wash your trailer out between every single load? Or just before the loads where you're hauling food that needs a clean trailer? Let's go take a look. Looks a lot better. They did a better job than the Fargo location. Much better job. How's it look back here? I think it's an old truck, right? Can't expect. Missed a lot here. All this. I need to scrub that. It's hard keeping a truck nice. It's hard having nice things, you know? Especially in the climate that I work in. It's much easier down here. I mean, when you don't drive down Canadian roads, and you're always on the paved U.S. interstates, it's a lot easier to keep your truck nice. A lot more money to bring it back to where it was. That's for sure. At least it's clean though. It is clean. It's the cleanest it's going to get. So I ran inside, grabbed a coffee real quick, and then called in to inquire on my car status, my customs status. And they've just started working on it now. Which is great. I'm glad they're working on it. They've had it since yesterday. They're going to work on it now. So I'm a couple hours away from the border. So if they are actually working on it now, that means it should be clear by the time I got to the border. I did say that I need to cross today, or I'm not going to make my appointment for my delivery. Just so people know what's at stake here. Trucker Josh could be late. If you don't, clear this for customs, okay? The stakes are high. Don't want to be late. At least then it's not my fault, right? I don't like being late, because I'm the guy who has to show up there. I'm the face they're going to see. And I've got to tell them, yeah, I'm sorry I'm late. And then they can believe me when I tell them the truth, like the broker slowed things down, or they'll just think that I'm incompetent, or they'll just think that it's my fault. Or maybe they'll just blame me and get mad at me. That doesn't happen very often. Still, I don't like to be the face that shows up late, even if it's not my fault. So they know what's at stake here. So let's hope that by the time we get there, in a few hours that everything will be hunky-dory and ready, because you don't show up to the border when they're not prepared for you. There's fines attached to that that get charged to me. And it's a lot of paperwork, it's a big headache, and everybody gets upset, and nobody's happy. Everything has to, all your ducks have to be in a row. Crossing the border with freight is a serious thing, obviously. It's going from one country to the next. Everybody needs to know what's coming into the country. The US needs to know what's leaving the country. And they need to know who's taking it from where to where. Why? How much it's worth, how much it weighs. What it is, what it does, what it's going to be used for. I don't know. I don't know. I just drive the truck. And we just received another booking for our trailer. So that means that this month is now completely booked. Which is awesome. So that rental trailer has been busy. It's been really good. I don't know what to expect, but yeah, bookings keep coming in. It's good. The bridge from Port Huron, Michigan into Sarnia, Ontario. It's all clear, good to go. Canada, stop ahead and pay fare. Is it going to be a fare price? We'll see. I think this bridge used to cost what? 15 bucks? 15, 16, 25? American? Right, something like that. Let's see what it is now. I'm going to cross here in a little while. Trucks use right lane. I thank you. I'm in the right lane. Work zone begins, oh great. These bridges are always under construction. Always. How much you guys think it's going to be? Don't spoil it if you know. Other side, we go through customs. Which looks very similar to this. It always confuses me a little. Because I don't cross here all the time. Flying Jay here to see if I can find parking. Because if I go much further past here, like I have the hours to probably get, I usually get through Toronto yet. But I don't think I'm going to be able to find parking. There's a good chance I wouldn't be able to find parking anyway. On the other side of Toronto at this time. So I can make it to my destination in two days from here. It'll be two long days. But we can do it. This is a pretty big flying Jay. So chances are there should be parking. Let's go see. I'm going to go this way. A good safe spot. Oh, is there one right here in the front? No, there's a bobtail in there. A bobtail. Two of them in the front row. That's rude. That is rude. Taking up a full 75 foot spot with your bobtail. So that people with a trailer like me coming in at night don't have a place to park. Look at all these paid parking. These are all paid parking now? I've noticed Pilot Flying Jay getting more and more greedy with their pay to park. Like it's more and more and more spots have been getting blocked off and are now paid to park. That guy's not even parked in. They're straight. Taking up two paid to park spots. Wonder if he paid for two? Dapers. I'm going to park here. I want to see if there's a better spot. Yeah, we'll go for a loop around the lot and see what we find. Just like a dog going to circle ourselves three times before we lay down. Make sure we get the best spot. In the back. Well lit. Right beside another long nose W900 so I know that he's going to be careful when he wakes up in the morning and pulls out of here. I hope. The other guy beside me here has a straight shot at the driveway so I should be safe here. I'm tired though so I'm glad I stopped. I don't think I would have made it very far. And after here I mean I could stop in Cambridge. There's some parking there sometimes. There's probably all full by now. All the rest areas will be full by now the on roads. On the other side I was going to stop in Pickering on the other side of Toronto. But that Petro Pass lately when I've been stopping there has been packed full too and it used to be completely empty all the time. And then there's the Flying J down the street from there in near Pickering. That one's all paid apart pretty much it seems because everyone they just sell the spots to like drivers who leave their trucks there when they're at home. And then when they're on the road they leave their personal vehicles in their spot because they pay for that spot monthly. So there's no spots there. So this is just the safest place to park. Safest place. So tired. Shouldn't be rubbing my eyes like that. Thanks for hanging out with me today. And keeping me awake. Tomorrow's another day we're going to get through Ontario and go back tomorrow. Maybe all the way into Brunswick. We'll see. We've got to go all the way up there and it'll be a long drive tomorrow. Long two days ahead of us yet. We have just under 2,000 oh just under 1,900 kilometers to go yet. That's I can do about 1,000 kilometers in a day usually. I can push a little further but that's a comfortable full day. 1,000 kilometers or 620 miles or so. So I'll see you tomorrow. Be safe. Stay safe. Bye.
