 Let's rock and roll. We have 2,697 kilometers to get home. Let's see, 2,697 kilometers divided by 1.61. That is 1,675 miles. We're gonna be home on Friday, because today is Wednesday. We'll be home for a few days then. So, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to rock. Diesel, you ready? We're loaded up with a little tug test. I don't need to do this tug test, but I'm gonna do it anyway. Peace of mind. Peace of mind, the trailer will not fall off. Okay, okay. I'm trying to go out the entrance, aren't I? Okay, wait, emergency exit only. Okay, so is there another exit? There's probably another exit, isn't there? Okay, watch out, people, coming back. Okay, apparently they want us to go out this side. Makes sense. Then we don't have a big kerfluffle of people trying to get in and out. Blocking the driveway and stuff. This is gonna open for me, right? Which side opens? That side opens. I am so confused. No, wait. Ha, ha, ha, ha, I don't know what I'm doing. Why would I go on the left? No, this side's got to open. Right? Let's drive up to it and see what happens. Something's beeping. There we go. Oh, I'm just a moron, that's all. Why don't they have like a sign here that says exit? That would solve all these problems, all right? Ah, I could just dust off the cobwebs of my common sense, but that would be no fun. I don't want to stick out. Common sense, what's that? Nobody uses that anymore. All right, Diesel, hang on, bud. You want to go home? I do. I don't know about you, man. I don't want to go home. You want me to honk the horn and celebrate? Hey, Diesel. You want me to honk the horn? Should I honk the horn? Look, Diesel, it's the Wafflehausen. It's the Venus' favorite store. It's a restaurant, I get it. It's the Venus' favorite restaurant, the Wafflehausen. I wish we had waffle houses in Canada. Love waffle house. Who doesn't like a good waffle? Come on, you got to be crazy not to like waffles. This trip home from Alabama, like I was saying, is going to take three days. In the US, I can only drive 11 hours per day. So as far as I can today, I can usually get about 1,000 kilometers or 600 miles done per day. So I should be able to get probably three full days, because there's going to be 700 kilometers left or 500 miles or whatever, 450 miles the third day. So I'm leaving here at 10 a.m. central time. That's about 30 hours or so of driving. That's giving three hours leeway for traffic jams, other things, bathroom breaks, eating and stuff. So 30 hours, plus I'm going to need two nights, which are 10 hours each. 30, 40, 50 hours, I should be home. Just over 48 hours, if everything goes according to plan. That would be what it says Wednesday, Friday. I'm going to say Friday, around one o'clock in the afternoon. Did I sound right? It seems kind of early. No, because I got to drive all day today yet. All day tomorrow and all day. It'll be Friday afternoon, Friday evening. I'll do the math later. For now, let's just get down the road a little bit. There's a lot of math in trucking, long haul trucking anyways. Oh, you could see it just a little while ago, behind these trees off to the right. The building is coming. You ready for it? The Batman building. That's where Batman lives. Or so I'm told. Nashville, Tennessee. In one kilometer, keep to the right on I-40 East. A lot of famous musicians in this city. A lot of good music coming out of here. This is definitely one of those cities that I would love to stop in and tour around for a while. I-65. Traffic up here, we're about to merge on to I-40. Please, this won't be too bad here. Needers, keep to the right on I-40 East. Nevermind, looks like we're coming to a stop. What is the time now? Time is quarter to five. I guess it's rush hour right now, makes sense. What is that Batman building actually? From here, what is it? It looks like, is that an AT and T symbol on there? Oh, and I'm in the wrong lane. Really? Now you're gonna tell me that this lane ends? And you're gonna slam on your brakes? Okay, well, I gotta get out of this lane too. Why wouldn't they? Did they give me a warning? Did I just miss it? Maybe I just missed it. Oh, this'll be fun. I thought that this lane merged onto I-40. I didn't know that it, you know, just teased you and then actually shot you out onto, what is that? 31 or 41 South. Excuse me. Keep to the left on, I-24 West, I-65 North. Oh, there's a kind soul in this city. Thank you so much, but thank you so much. I'll give you the little flash throughs, thank you. Thank you very much. Now I need to get one more lane over. Oh, oh, and an opening. Look at this. Wow, there we go. Oh, whoa, what happened to you, buddy? I don't know, that should be on the road. He got smacked pretty good in the back there. Lost all my momentum because of this automatic transmission. And we're coming to a stop anyway. Okay, oh boy, oh boy. Why are we stopping? But no other lane is stopping. Transmission again, all right. Nashville, love you too. Maybe we can get through this city. How many of you are, oh, and we're stopping again. Okay, just got my momentum going again. In 500 meters, keep to the left on. I 24 West, I-65. I'm trying, Karen, I'm trying, but my lane keeps stopping for no reason. Nashville, any of you musicians? Another brand new loves location in, let's see, where are we? Google, help. Help, Google, where are we? One second. Again, it's not even on Google Maps. That's how new this is. Like, Love's Travel Plaza has been expanding like crazy. We're in Oak Grove, Kentucky. Oh, well I didn't even know I was in Oak Grove because I didn't know there was a Love's in Oak Grove. There's a Flying J, a couple of them. Yeah, brand new loves. Everything's brand spanking new. This place, I tell ya, they are expanding like there's no tomorrow. Good for them. You know, I've actually been really enjoying Love's Travel Plazas. They're exactly the same as Pilot Flying J for the most part. I'm pretty sure they're owned by the same people because they're almost identical. Just everything's, you know, it looks a little different, but it's the same products. Same coffee, even. Like they got that same bean to cup coffee. The only thing I don't like about Love's is their parking lots are usually a lot smaller. But, I've been spending a lot of time at Love's lately in building a relationship. I like them quite a bit and they're becoming more and more convenient. All they gotta do is expand across Canada. They'll be right up there with Pilot Flying J with me. And it's a brand new truck stop, but of course, it's already packed at six o'clock. Good thing. It doesn't matter how many they build. They always fill up. It really is true. If you build it, they will come. See now, if I was spending the night here, I would take that spot right there in front of me before that guy did, before that guy could. He's going for this spot. He thinks I'm gonna go for it. He thinks I'm gonna go for it. He's gonna go for it. I'm just messing with you. You can have it. I'm leaving. He thought I was gonna take the last spot, right before him. It's funny he's getting all mad. Here's my spot. That's my, don't take my spot. Hey, if I was staying the night, I would have taken it. I'm just saying, I'm ruthless. It's, you gotta, you gotta take care of yourself out here, man. It's everybody for himself. You find a parking spot, you take that. You take that parking spot. Look at that, there's, there's nothing else left. So maybe one over here. This one's got a bobtail in it. And that one's got a bobtail in it. Yeah, that was the last one. Ha ha ha. That would have been interesting. All right, that guy's lucky. I'm going another two hours down the road. You know, the only real sad thing about these huge corporations, like loves and pilot flying JTA Petro is, these smaller truck stops, the one in front of me here where this guy is going to, good guy giving them his business. These small ones, they don't survive long. Now that this loves is built across the street, I'm sure this truck stop will have its doors closed in a year or two. They just can't survive. I mean, and I'm part of the problem too, because I go to the big chains as well, but it's just that the big chains have been so convenient. It's so convenient to go to the checkers, then you get the points and then you can use the points for free laundry, get free showers. The big chain's better, but it's just too bad that the small businesses suffer and go bankrupt because of them. What can you do, right? What can you do? That's just how the cookie crumbles. I don't know what to say. We're gonna get back onto the interstate here. Interstate 24, Westbound. Like I said, another two hours, that'll bring us to eight o'clock. Hopefully we'll find some parking at that time. And then we can get home in two days. This road for 198 kilometers. 198, that's about what I'm gonna run out of hours. Right at the intersection with Interstate 57. Oh good, well, when two interstates intersect, there's usually a bunch of truck stops there. So that's probably where I'll go for, go for the night. You know the best way to make sure you'll have parking at the end of your day? So shut down early and start early. So we're shutting down here in Paducah at Southern Prime Travel Plaza. I could go another hour yet, but I can make it home in two days from here and I wanna make sure I get parking tonight and tomorrow. So we're starting early tomorrow. So it's seven o'clock here now, seven, seven, 30. That means I can get out of here before six a.m. That means I'll be done my day tomorrow, probably around six or seven o'clock. You've got a man turned left in 600, 10 meters. Guarantee me a good parking spot. Shut her down, pull the curtains and go to bed. I checked on Trucker Path, the app, and all the truck stops from here to where I would run out of hours or already reporting full. In 400 meters, take US 68 Paducah and then turn left in 600, 10 meters. So I don't wanna risk it. Now I'm just gonna park here. This one is reporting lots of spots still. Guess we'll find out. In 500 meters, turn left on US 68. Entrance. It's better not be one of those pay to parks. Looking pretty full already. I'm kinda glad we're stopping earlier today. In 500 meters, make a U-turn if possible and then approach in destination on the right side in 120 meters. You're talking about us right here, Karen. You blind? Already going into the driveway. What do you mean U-turn? You wanna go down the road over there, make a U-turn and come back when they have a perfectly good driveway right here? Yeah, out of here. That's the best way into this parking lot. I feel like I've been here before. Really think I have. Enter. Ah, there we go. Entrance. Look at this guy's load. Woo! Fancy. Very fancy. I feel like I have been here before though. It's just, this looks very familiar. I probably have been. I've been everywhere. Yeah, yeah, I remember this. I parked here with a flatbed. It's an empty flatbed. I was on my way back. No, no, no, no, no, no. I had steel on, didn't I? Go to Jackson, Tennessee. Going back to Canada. Yeah, and I was parked right over here along the side by that building. I was in right beside this guy, but I would block the shop. I don't wanna get woken up. Be told to move. Oh, I think there's space over here yet. Come on, show me the spaces. All right, I think this is, I don't know what's a parking spot and what isn't. Is this a driveway or is this a parking spot? You know what I mean? I can't tell, there's no lines. Guess we'll do a lap around the property and see what happens.
