 Have you been experiencing diesel shortages where you're at? Have any of the fuel stops been running out of diesel fuel? Cap is casing last week, one of the two weeks ago and they were having a fuel shortage there. Now I think it was mostly isolated to that fuel station I'm thinking because Cap is casing if you remember from my past videos where we traveled into Ontario, Cap is casing is on the northern highway 11 way way out sort of in the middle of nowhere. I mean a lot of people that live there but it's kind of a remote location so I can kind of understand when they have fuel or product shortages because if anything goes wrong in the supply chain getting it up there they run out very quickly it's a popular stop. I don't know what was behind that fuel shortage but I sort of you know raised my eyebrows to that and perked up my ears and I've been trying to hear if anyone else has been having diesel shortages and I just logged on to Transportation Nation this Monday morning and I saw this news article about diesel shortages in the US as well. I'm just wondering if this is becoming more of a international issue or if this is just isolated to certain spots. Whenever someone starts talking about fuel shortages I start getting a little nervous like I've told you especially in last week's videos the importance of keeping our fuel supply going to keep our economy going while at the same time finding alternative fuel sources so that this doesn't become so that we're not so reliant on diesel fuel and not so addicted to it because if it ever disappears one day it will it's a finite resource that we're prepared now we're not running out of diesel fuel anytime quickly there's probably an issue in the supply chain but I'm going to read a little bit of this article here and then send you over there to read the full article so you give Transportation Nation your your traffic now this article is from November 5th 2021 and it's uh it's captioned major truck stop chains reporting diesel outages and capping fuel purchases this is from Columbus Ohio in the U.S. two major truck stop chains are currently reporting diesel outages and fuel shortages at some locations according to an email notice sent to customers late Thursday afternoon pilot flying j informed wasn't or informed us that four of its stores in the Columbus Ohio area are facing extremely tight diesel supply conditions they say we are working to manage demand across our stores and as a result select locations may be temporarily down on diesel until the supply situation improves and that was David Hughes senior vice president of sales our team is bringing in support from surrounding markets to maintain supply at the majority of our locations to keep fleets fueled and they say the locations that are affected are the pilots in Circleville sunbury columbus and hebron ohio oh and chill chill a call chill a cough burst berkshire london and mills millersport ohio now this news is a little bit uh uh behind like i said this was on the 5th this issue's probably been corrected by now but my point is is this like an ongoing thing or is this just sort of like an isolated event what's it been like where you're at whether it be in canada or the us or maybe in a different part of the world i know the uk is facing some fuel shortages i don't know if you guys have sorted that out already or not i don't know how australia is doing but let me know i'm i'm curious to know what's going on around the world with fuel supply let me know down below in the comments so it is monday morning we're ready for a new week i believe we have a holiday this week for a member and stay here in canada that will be uh a veterans day for you in the us time for us to remember and reflect on the sacrifices that were made for our for our countries i was watching a documentary this weekend about world war two canadian perspective i watched one from the us perspective to after pearl harbor and how the us got involved it was to say the least an intense period of time to be alive a scary period of time to be alive and we've been without a major global conflict for what 80 70 to 80 years now we've had little conflicts around the world here and there but we haven't had a global scale war and uh to be honest our generation has no idea what it would be like we have no idea sure our our country may be prepared for it but we always stay ready we always stay prepared but the emotional toll it would take on you to watch your family members loved ones friends brothers and sisters go off to a war and never come back on such a large scale it's something that i can't even wrap my head around what that must have been like so uh we have november 11th as our remembrance day to focus on that remember be thankful for what we have now and try the best we can to understand what they went through just so that we could live in such peace so that i could live in a world where i can't wrap my head around a global war and what it would be like i just wanted to uh uh acknowledge that in canada here we have remembrance week this year from november 5th to november 11th so uh i guess we're extending it because one day really isn't enough is it but let's get to some truck in here it's going to be a good day today i can just feel it it's going to be a good week uh it's going to be a little bit warmer today i'm checking my thermometer or my my thermometer my forecast here right now is minus one celsius to start the day off it's supposed to go up to plus 10 by 2 p.m. this afternoon it's supposed to be sunny and clear so we don't have any directions yet but in 10 minutes the load gods will be in at their stations and i will be ready for whatever they have for me so whenever they sit down they can pick up the phone and call me up and say hey i need you to do this and i'll be ready so i can get on it right away and get as much done today as possible we're always busy busy busy busy hey straws cheaper 416 dr this is our trailer for today this is our assignment i don't know what's in it yet but we're gonna figure that out we're gonna go deliver it quickly figure out what's in here i've just cracked the door open haven't looked inside yet but i smell lumber it's a beautiful smell yep hello hello oh very nice very nice i think i know where this is going to be going to this is probably going to be going to that uh yard that we went to was it last week or the week before close to close to where the virology lab is at Odin Winnipeg down mcphillips all right somebody needs their lumber all right right somebody wants to build something and i am a key part of that process process process process process we're gonna go with that one you can't build your stuff if i don't bring you your stuff huh let's get on it let's do it lights working oh no i got mud on my half fender here one of my mismatched half fenders is all dirty oh no i'm gonna have to wipe that off some bull snot later best cleaning products around right you know that already okay tires oh they're filled with air i love it when that happens filled with air love it when that happens check the back lights here tail lights brake lights marker lights license plate light working check your hub oil and there it's looking good do that on all four so how have you all been enjoying the daylight savings time thingamajig do you participate in daylight savings time where you're at here in mountaintopo we dropped back one hour so i got an extra hour of sleep this weekend it was very nice i really like this time of year when we fall back gaining an extra hour but we pay for it in spring when we jump forward and we lose an hour of sleep but you just gotta remember to go to bed earlier than right it never really affects me that much i hear all these stories about how you know people are like losing their minds i don't like it i don't think it's necessary i wish we wouldn't change our clocks but it doesn't have any real effect on me i just go to bed earlier so i don't lose that sleep people keep saying i lost an hour of sleep in springtime why you knew it was coming why didn't you go to bed earlier right be gone trailer i don't want you any more the swiffer duster is your best friend see when when the light is hitting the gauge is just right like that just see how much dust is actually in your truck you know sometimes by dusting it like this all you're doing is just like spitting it out into the air so i'm at a hudderite colony right now delivering this sweeper we're gonna get that off without hitting any of these things because look at this this is an srt10 dodge ram that's a dodge ram with a viper engine in it i am definitely not a dodge fan but i wouldn't mind a truck like this i think for a spin ones are twice but we won't be driving this one look at this thing that's a mean-looking truck i'd love to hear it run but i'm not even gonna start it i just gotta get that other stuff off the trailer so that we can get to this and get this offloaded for the customer so it's just long for a short ride while i unload the rest we're taking good care of it i'm sure there's somebody anxiously waiting for this this is actually coming to winnipeg not going south i think so i gotta clean up the trailer a little bit after i uh delivered this sweeper here while we're passing by here that's what the interior of an srt10 ram looks like what's that over there looks like a six-speed manual nice trim carefully sneak past it good thing's got that spoiler to hold it down i bet this thing moves the guys here were actually very creative unloading it from the center they brought out a big aluminum ramp and unloaded it right here from the side now this is going to eltona we got to get this off before we can unload the beast over there and there you go all tucked in nice and safe again got one more stop in case you were super creative getting that off it worked out better with the route to unload the middle one first and in order to drive it off the back i'd have to unload the next stop as well but i guess i could have gone to the other stop first and then this one but that would have taken way longer i always love coming to visit the hudderite colonies they're always so well kept so clean the people are always so friendly with me all of their equipment is brand new if you're not too sure what hudderites are i'm of a minonite background uh from it all originated with the the guy called simon menno menonites hudderites are all sort of descendants and follow the teachings of jacob hudder all originated in the germany netherlands area it'd correct me if i'm wrong and then there's amish that's the same thing but we would call them our extremists they reject all forms of technology let's see if i can get around here so well taken care of so clean so neat all their vehicles are clean their grain trucks are beautiful kenworth i mean beautiful peterbilt all well taken care of and they speak a dialect of german just like us minonites down the bloodline to amish minonite hudderite well sort of lived on colonies i'm uh where am i supposed to go here i'm gonna go this way i'm what they would call a modern minonite you can't tell me apart from the everyday regular canadian people sometimes assume i'm american when they hear me talk or see me but no i'm a canadian i don't follow the minonite teachings so culturally i guess i'm just canadian but my heritage is minonite we used to live on colonies just like this steinback used to be a colony just like this before it was incorporated into like a regular town so there are many hudderite colonies in manitoba many of them and they all live right here on site they work here they're agriculture based but they also do a lot of other industry the way we would describe it is you know the amish they reject most of them reject all technology all electricity stuff like that right us minonites we sort of accepted more of the modern world and then the hudderites are sort of like the minonites they they will use farm machinery vehicles but some colonies i know take the radios out of their vehicles because that's considered too worldly so i think they're a little bit more conservative than minonites are at least around here in manitoba the minonites we have radio stations we have electricity we have power we live just like everybody else yeah they're like my cousins i guess i get a little nostalgia coming to visit them because it reminds me a lot of you know my people my background they take such good care of their property too which you know makes a little treat to come and visit them they're nice people and their colonies are usually located down some gravel roads off the main road a little more secluded like this this isn't too far from winnipeg this is actually pretty close to the big city a lot of land and it's sort of like a collective like they all own it together but they have like a leadership that all the money goes into the central pot and then the leadership distributes it from there as far as i know i mean i'm not how to write so i don't really want to speak on their behalf i believe they do use the internet though so if you are how to write and you're watching my video right now feel free to comment down below maybe i got something wrong or maybe you want to share a little bit more about how your community lives i'd love to learn more i'm pretty sure how to write use the internet i know aumich definitely don't and mininates definitely do so it's it probably go it's probably different colony to colony but i'll be in the comment section i'd be very interested to hear if one of you live on one of these colonies i'd love to learn more about your way of life random car in the bush with a sign that says no trespassing but we can look i wonder what it's doing there that would look much nicer all polished up sitting on the side of the road somewhere on cruise night you know wonder if they got any plans anything they want to do with it i wonder if it's for sale headed southbound here about to turn westbound it's funny i'm using my google gps but i got karen right up there but karen makes me angry so she's she's on the bench right now she's benched she's got to be quiet she keeps telling me to go the wrong way this is highway 205 here is going to take us into rosenort that way and then we go south from there down to altona the mighty mighty mega city of rosenort population like 1000 at night and 5000 during the day apparently their population like quadruples it's a big industry town a lot of businesses here but it's a it's a small town a lot of people come in from the surrounding uh countryside to work here any of you from around here right we're here in altona we have that generator unloaded right over there now we're ready to unload the beast turned out being quite a long day yet but we're headed home now and uh they're gonna get that pickup truck unloaded in the morning one second i see my interior lights are on you see that one second just saved myself a whole headache of boasting my truck in the morning what's up where's my keys well where are my interior lights on you know i think this is my passenger door my passenger door acts up every now and then it doesn't open properly come on oh did i just lock it again come on there we go see i think this here i have a little piece in here oh no that lights just staying on i must have left that only well then there we go there we go must really be a late night i'm pretty tired had a whole bunch of things to get done this afternoon yet why are my pants here don't worry it's not the pants i'm wearing these are my lined jeans i always bring them along at this time of year just in case it gets cold why were they were they on the ground there before did you see them when i was walking up to the track what in tarnation what what's going on i need to go home the last one here again and you've clearly been at work too long if you drop your pants on the ground and don't even notice that means it's time to go home definitely the whole pants dropping scenario definitely time to go home can you imagine how to not notice through the back window there or if i didn't have a back window if i hadn't noticed that that light was on the battery would have been dead in the morning of my pants would have been left on the ground right there i was just left in there all night then we would have found them in the morning have been like what in tarnation why are my pants on the ground in the morning you know what i mean jeepers see like this truck 2025 doesn't have a back window i would have never known if that was my truck we hired a new guy i haven't seen him driving the truck i haven't had the chance to meet him yet i think he's gonna be driving that truck monday's everything goes wrong on a monday monday so the errands that i had to do was uh we had some paperwork that needed to get stamped at the us border so i had to cross into the us go and get our paperwork stamped by us customs and then cross back into canada and what's the problem with that you ask what took so long well what took so long was them the lineup to cross the border into the us well it's like 15 miles long i'm exaggerating only by about a mile or two it was long and it took me all afternoon and into the evening just to get into the us to get them to stamp a piece of paperwork for us and then crossing back into canada took five minutes but yeah that that took the majority of my my day so we're gonna quickly rush home jump in the shower then jump in bed and then close my eyes for a couple of seconds open them back up and come back to work one of those days monday monday monday monday why don't you like me monday you know i like the weekend way better weekend days treat me so much better than the weekday days you know like i always say the first five days after the weekend are the worst but hey there's only four left now actually three because we have a day off this week for a remembrance day
