 Good morning everybody. It's a rainy day here in Northern Nova Scotia. Empty trailer. It just needs to be swept. And then we're gonna put a big old load of peat moss in there and make it all dirty again. So this load's done. Gotta go up to a town called Point Saepin or something in Northern New Brunswick. And I'm pretty sure they're gonna load me in the morning cause I'm not gonna get there by the end of business day but I'm gonna make a few calls now and see if they can still load me today. Well, we got some good news. Everything's good out here in the Maritimes apparently. The shipper loads 24 hours a day, which surprises me cause most people don't do that. They like to go home for night but I guess they got a night shift that comes in and loads trucks all night. So they'll load me whenever I get there. Or whenever they got time when I get this first comfort served by the sounds of it. But right on. So we're gonna go there tonight, get loaded and be on our way to Georgia. It's a good day. I told you it's gonna be a good day. What are you doing with my pants? What's he doing with my pants? Why do you have my pants over here? Huh? What? Why are we sleeping? What are you? I don't know what you're talking about. What are you doing with my pants? Where do those come from? Did you pull them down off of here? I think they'd gotten wet in the rain before and I was drawing them up here. You pull them down. I just wanted to feel like I was close to you. Well, that's sweet, Diesel. Look at this. Look at your little pillow kingdom here. Wow. God, we's traveling in style. Look at this, eh? Such a good boy. You wanna go pick up some peat moss? You want some peat moss? These little tail. Peat moss? We're gonna go to Georgia. And then after Georgia, we'll go home. He'll start getting more excited as we get closer. How about we go for a nice long walk later? How about that? You're tired. He's been sleeping. I've been here unloading for two hours now. I took a little longer than I expected but that's totally cool because my shipper loads all night, apparently. Man, I thought I was gonna be late and they'd have to load me tomorrow. I was getting all panicked and eh, I'm gonna be behind, but you know what? Like I was saying, if you just have a good attitude, things usually work out. Let's not keep them waiting too long. We don't wanna take advantage of the fact that they load 24 hours a day. I still wanna get there as soon as possible so that I can get down the road as far as possible. I don't know how cold it's gonna get in Northern New Brunswick. The weather around here looks kinda stormy but it always looks kinda stormy around here so I don't know how to read the weather out East. In Manitoba, it's simple. Just look west. That's what's coming this way. Out here, I have no idea what's going on. It's all better to play it safe than sorry. I don't wanna get stranded and then run low on fuel because when the Maritime's gets snow, they usually get like four feet overnight. You never know. Oh, tell the world what I'm doing. The government wants to know, what's he doing? Mindy, stop moving. What's going on? I gotta do with my belt. Do you guys gotta undo your belt when you drive too? I think it's just cause I'm a little fat. Otherwise the belt buckle digs into my stomach. It's uncomfortable. All right, let's grab some fuel. Diesel, you wanna pump the fuel? 15 big ones again. Here, I was pretty sure that they only took cash a while ago but that's obviously changed because of this whole COVID thing. Nobody likes using cash. I don't carry cash ever. I always use my cards and plastic for everything. Not my credit cards. I don't use them. My debit cards, I never have cash on me. If anyone were to steal my wallet, they wouldn't get anything cause I could just cancel everything in five minutes. The E-Pass line, some N beautiful. Whoa, lucky you. Oh, the dog. Yeah, the dog. Yeah, he's got nice ears, yeah. Between Eastern Canada and Western Canada. Ah, I got no checkpoints going this way apparently. Maybe they're up ahead. This is just the scale. I guess we're not technically at the border yet. That's probably what it is. It's probably up ahead. I wanna see how fat I am. Kind of a personal question to ask if you ask me. Stop before driving onto platform. There you go. You see, I'm a good boy. Now let me go. Here that they had the scale on that side of the border. Usually it's into the next province. Maybe there's another one up ahead cause here's the border coming up here. It was just down the road. You see the three Nova Scotia flags here on this end. That guy I was telling you yesterday like inverted Scotland flags, a little crest in the middle. New Brunswick side. Crossing border, entering New Brunswick. You'll see the New Brunswick flag there. It's like a yellow flag with a ship on it with sails, a lion up there. They're telling us to slow down here already. So I'm guessing they must have their checkpoint up here somewhere. Nowhere else in the country has these checkpoints anymore. I've just seen them in the Maritimes, but you never know. You never know. They might also open them back up. Everyone's starting to freak out again. I've got stuff to deliver. Well, I've got stuff to pick up and then I've got to deliver it. I'm just doing my thing. Diesel and I are pretty isolated here in the truck anyways. We only talk to maybe one or two people a day and that's when I'm getting my coffee. Okay, this off to the left here. This is where the checkpoint was. Well, Diesel, I guess we can take this out of here now. I had to dry this before it got wet. Raining like crazy when I was unloading in the morning. That in my fancy little closet here. Oh, I messed up all my hangers when I did that. Oh well. So we're here at the shipper and apparently my appointment is for 1 a.m., but they should get to me soon. They got to get all the guys in front of me done first and then when it's my turn, if it's earlier than 1 a.m., it's earlier. And it sounds to me like it'll probably be quite a bit earlier, but we'll have to find out. From here, I want to go down to a big stop somewhere or down to a truck stop just so I can sleep somewhere with showers for the night. I'd like to shower in the morning or even tonight yet if I can't, I guess we'll see. I gotta wait to get loaded. Now I'm sort of in the waiting queue. They have a parking lot, which is kind of nice. So they come get you when they're ready for you. So I can just have a nap if I wanted to and they'll come wake me up when it's my turn to get loaded. All I gotta do is back up to their outdoor dock and bada bing, bada boom. They throw all the pallets on. I strap them in, close the door, seal it up. We're done. Still, so much easier than flatbed. I, other than the people I was working with, I don't miss flatbed at all. Oh, I like this. This is nice. So the way it works here is they're loading on the other side of those trucks. You can sort of see them through the window there, right? And they have a whole lineup of trucks here. My appointment was apparently for 1 a.m. 1 a.m. And I got here about, what, seven o'clock? And so they got a lineup of all the trucks who are all here early and they're getting them all done really quickly. So as quick as they can get them done, that's how quick we get loaded makes sense. So I'm pretty sure I should get loaded. What is it? It's 8.30 now. I should get loaded with the next couple of hours for sure. I hope so. Cause then I got an hour and a half back to the truck stop yet. And I don't want to be here all night, really. But it is what it is, and what can I do? I don't want to be here all night, but do I have a choice? No, I don't have any choice. I got all these shadows all over the place here. You can see the camera and the shadow them. That's sort of very unprofessional, very unprofessional. Holly would be, would be very, very displeased with me. And that's good. It's not supposed to be Hollywood. This is supposed to be real. Right, Diesel? Real. Not like Hollywood, a bunch of fakes and weird people too, right? Like the people in Hollywood, it's like, they're like a special kind of weird. Not in their shows. Like they're phenomenal actors, but in real life they're just like, you just want to, if I ever met one, a lot of people go crazy if they meet their favorite celebrity. I would just want to have a sit down with them and be like, what happened? How could you be such an amazing actor and turn out like this in real life? Right? What happened? This isn't Hollywood, this is real. What you see is what you get. And it's 10 o'clock and we're on our way. Not too bad. What did I get there at seven? Three hours? That's not too bad. My appointment was for 1 a.m. and I'm leaving there at 10 p.m. So I'll take it. So we're heavy. We're sitting at just under 80,000 pounds, probably about 78,000 pounds. We're gonna scale ourselves at the Irving on the way past there at the Cats scale and just make sure that we're not overweight or anything. And I'll talk to you when we get there. Here we go, everybody! We gotta get ourselves scaled. I still don't know how heavy I am because they didn't have scales at the yard where they load us. And honestly, it kind of bothers me when... 200 meters, turn right on. Frederickton Road, Highway 112 and then. Approaching destination on the left side, 130 meters. Yeah, yeah, Karen, calm yourself. It bothers me like they know that they're loading freight that goes right up to the legal limit, but they don't provide a scale to make sure that they don't go over the legal limit. Then if I get a ticket, it's my ticket, not theirs. So I've gotta go all the way to the nearest Cats scale which is down here in Monkdon or wherever it be, whichever, you know, this happens in other places too. And if I'm overweight, I gotta go all the way back to the shipper and tell them to take a pow-wow. Approaching destination in 100 meters on the left side. I'm gonna cross the border until I'm scaled because once I cross the border, I can't come back. That's how it works. Once the... You have arrived at your destination on the left side. Big stop, circle came number 2016. Are you done now? Geez, Karen, I know you wanna be part of the vlog, but come on. But yeah, once I cross the border into the US, the freight can't cross back. They won't clear it to go back. So if it's overweight, it's overweight. That's why you gotta scale up before you cross the border. That's what we're gonna do right now. Certified scales. So that if they're wrong, they'll pay my ticket for me. Let's talk to the good people in the box here. One second. I'm gonna push a little button here. Magic box. Hello. Cotton tub. First weight, yeah. First weight. First weight, pounds. Pounds. Get it in gear here. You guys just yelling at me through the speaker. Hey babe, put under the scale. I can hear you, bud. I can hear you. Well, she's gonna yell at me over here too. So now you gotta talk to him over here. Now I just gotta wait for him to confirm that he has my weight. Might have to push the button again. I'm gonna push the button again. Thank you. Sounded just yelling at me. I'm gonna find a parking spot, Harold, go inside and get our scale ticket, shall we? One second here. Need your help to get that off. Thank you. All right. We walked the weasel. Time to get this bed ready for the king. See, this is the lord right here. Where'd your light go, Diesel? What happened to your light? One second. There you go, the lord. The king hierarchy of this truck. Just so you know. Let's put you up here. I gotta do a lot of cleaning up tomorrow. I have a whole idea of what I want this truck to look like tomorrow yet. Before I get going, I'm gonna send in my paperwork yet. Oh boy, I've got work to do. But first, I'm in the maritime. So I have to close my curtains so that everybody knows I'm sleeping. Because it's pretty late by the time we got here. It's after midnight now. So I'm gonna be sleeping into the day tomorrow. If you don't got the curtains pulled, people assume you're awake. Pull the curtains. For some reason, these curtains are not that easy to pull around here. I don't understand why they would make them this way, but I don't understand a lot of things in this world, apparently. And I'm not always right, okay? I have my opinions and I'm not always right. That's why I always say, double check everything I tell you, all the facts and stuff I tell you. Double check them, you know? Just cause Trucker Josh says it's true, doesn't mean it's true. I mean, there's a very highly probable chance that it is true if I say, if Trucker Josh says it's true, but. I'm not a trainer, okay? That's the biggest thing I wanna get across to my audience. I'm not a trainer. I don't wanna be a trainer. I am just an entertainer. Okay, I'm an entertainer on the internet. I show you how my life goes on the road as a truck driver from Canada, who travels all over Canada in the United States. I don't really have any desire to be a trainer or a teacher. Okay, so when I give you advice, I'm not trying to train you. I'm not trying to teach you how to do things or what's the best way to do things. Sometimes I'll show you the way that, the best way that I've found to do things, but I'm not a trainer, okay? I'm not a trainer. I'm an entertainer. There's a difference. All I wanna do is meet up with you here on my YouTube channel every day and entertain you. I don't wanna be responsible for teaching you all the ins and outs and what's best and what's not. I find it to be much more fun just to hang out with you and share my experiences that way. What is wrong with these curtains? Seriously? Why they gotta be so difficult? Ah! I guess I should turn my GPS off. I don't need Karen anymore. You know, Karen, go to bed, Karen. Nobody wants to hear it from you. Okay, well, I appreciate you hanging out with me today. I appreciate you hanging out with me every day. And let me know what you think down below in the comments. Leave a like or a dislike and share it with your friends.
