 Hey y'all, my name's Jake and you're watching Trucker Josh and Diesel on TJV. Come on! Our first delivery for today, then we got to rush over to Edmonton to the other side of Edmonton to the west side to Atchison and Deliver our second load. It's five and a half hours from here. The time is now about 8 30-ish Hopefully they'll be quick unloading us so we can be out here by like nine and be over there by two thirty-three o'clock Plus we've got stuff for coffee here three three thirty three. I wanna get unloaded today. Every day is a rush So we're sort of parked in this parking lot Right here in the edge sort of in this dead end of the parking lot whatever you want to call it You guys who have been here know what I'm talking about. There's a nice quiet night. It's fantastic. I slept great And lucky for us our delivery is Just around the corner here Get a little tug on my trailer make sure she's not gonna fall off A double triple sure even though I checked it We just got to go just around the corner To drop this off Then we'll be on our way to Edmonton. So I stopped here for my minimum eight hours In Canada you don't have to stop for a full 10 You can just stop for eight consecutive hours and then start moving you have to make up those extra two hours Sometime throughout your 16 hour day from like the time I started rolling right there Or from the time I started my pre-trip to the end of my day like I got 16 hours To account for another two hours In a minimum half hour increments Now like I said in past videos, I'm actually kind of a fan of the elogues, you know, I don't know if I call myself a fan Oh that flag over there to the right. Hey that used to be a big Saskatchewan flag They put the Canada flag back up I noticed that after the last federal election they took down the Canada flag and put up the Saskatchewan flag I guess they put the Canada flag back up Anyways Rabbitrel squirrel. Yeah, these elogues. I don't mind them. I wouldn't go myself a fan, but I don't mind them at all, you know Those of you who are still on paper and are you know, just Wondering what it's going to be like because Canada's elog what you might call it Mandate elog mandate comes in this year. I believe or next year 2020 or 2021 Just like the us and I drive in the us a lot So I had an elog anyway because you have to drive down there drive on their soil avoid obey their rules So I'm used to it already, but those of you who are wondering what it's going to be like You know, there's a lot of negativity about it on the internet and I understand all of it. I understand all the negativity They have a point But I'm just gonna say from my point of view. It's not that bad. It's not that that bad I mean, I've got no paperwork It sort of speeds things up a little bit and if you already follow the rules And drive legally It's not going to bother you at all It's only going to bother you if you constantly drive with two log books illegally You constantly constantly every day, you know fudge the log books Yeah, it's going to slow you down a bit in that sense, but it's going to bring you back to within the confines of the law, right? And uh When I see people fighting against the elog that's all I can think of I'm like the only reason you wouldn't want it is if you want to drive illegally that's just my own personal opinion, but I'd love to know your opinions down below in the comment section What are the real reasons you hate elogs? And what are some of the reasons you like it? Let me know down below So that all the new people thinking about getting into trucking can sort of know What the consensus is I'm on the side of It's not that bad Where do you stand on the issue? Have me nosed up against this snowbank so they could unload me So we are finished here. It is 9 20 in the morning something like that I think Get ourselves out of here. I'm gonna go back to the flying jay there just to grab a coffee And we are bolting over to Atchison To get there tonight yet or today this afternoon. I want to deliver this afternoon I don't want to have to wait till the morning Because I want to make my way into bc tonight yet What do you think Chevy? What do you think so far? Who's that over there? Why is he wearing a funny hat? He does have a magnificent beard though, doesn't he Chevy? Maybe one day my beard will be that magnificent Right now it's all over the place I'm trying to grow it out again. We'll see we'll see it's winter time. So it's a good time to grow it out keeps me warm But this year this is doing something weird here today. This is what I mean keeping like A beard properly groomed on the road Well, it would be easy if I had all the right tools, but uh I'll have to get a few grooming products soon I already have in mind what I'm gonna get so By the time it gets long enough to use them I should have them Plus I have something that I have from the last time I grew my beard out last year. I got them from my friend, uh, James We guys have seen in the videos a couple of times Chevy hey, what do you think should I grow my beard out like that guys? I'm probably not gonna wear the same hat as him though. No Got my own hats What do you think? Do whatever you want, dad. Is mom here? Where do we go? Where is she? Mom Mom We'll go home later diesel Chevy. Oh, I called you diesel keep calling them diesel Diesel apparently is doing well. Uh, seems like his foot is healing up a little bit at home But uh, you know Brett's keeping a close eye on him. She's on holidays now still so Uh, she can she's got to soak it and put cream on it and put a sock on him so he doesn't like it He's in good hands And so is she heavy great. So is she heavy. We're gonna have a great time, man We're gonna go and celebrate new years together 2020 just me and you man 2020 Two guys kicking it out in the wild man The scale was open In Saskatchewan, that's weird And I didn't even get pulled in for an inspection. Thank you very much. I didn't want to talk to you either I'm not offended at all. Just send me on my way Saskatchewan opens their scale houses. It's for inspections Almost every time they're very rarely open But when they are they're open It's nuts here. I'm getting out of here and open both directions They just want to look at people. Oh, no lights are flashing on outside too. They have both directions open Sneaky sneaky It's supposed to be the holidays, you know, it's kind of weird not very many trucks on the road today because today's When I'm filming this is December 30th. It's the holidays, right? That's why there was so much parking at the Flying J yesterday because everybody's at home with their loved ones There's not very many trucks in the highway. There's people like me who you know Took all their time for Christmas and Have to work over new years So why wouldn't you be open when it's busier? There's nobody out here Why would you open the scale on a day like this? Maybe because we're not expecting it But yesterday we're talking about whorefrost. Look at that on the right and just counterpick these trees up It's got a bunch of whorefrost on it. It turns the trees white It's the most beautiful part of winter When the trees get all the frost on it like that, can you see it? It's not gonna last long because the sun's gonna melt it off soon That's not even that bad. I go on the left way over there. Can you see that? The pine trees really show it Now this isn't even that bad sometimes it gets like really bad or really good. However you look at it And the whole tree is just completely crystal white just sparkling right and then the sun comes up in the morning And everything is just sparkling like diamonds. That's a coach on the side of the highway a leather couch Whoops But anyway, it's just amazing just you look outside and it's just especially on the prairies the flatlands as far as you can see just sparkling white beauty. It's just It's the most beautiful time of year. I think it's not my favorite time of year, but it is the most beautiful time I mean summer's nice too, but summer Well, everyone loves summer because it's not winter Starting to get very spooky out here western Saskatchewan We're getting close to Alberta Apparently we got to go through this cloud first and we come out the other side On the sunny side, maybe I don't know The days were noticeably getting longer already yesterday to me daylight hours So we're headed straight. Well, not quite straight west right now, but I'm headed west, right? So in wintertime When you're heading west the sun will set far to the left of this highway But in summertime when you're driving the same road the sun will set far to the right of this highway Very fascinating to see you see it the further north you go the more evident and obvious it is It's really neat the way the earth its rotation and its tilt and orbit all that works. It's really neat. I don't know So we're actually a little ways from Alberta yet. Oh, it's like about an hour or so But it looks like we will arrive on time. I forgot that we're still in central time because Saskatchewan uh Felt back to keep Manitoba warm through the winter. So Alberta is off on its own. It's the only province in mountain time right now And part of bc I guess half of bc is in mountain time, right? Which makes sense because There's mountains there But the other half of bc is in pacific time and that's where we're going to be Uh later on tonight. We won't quite make it to cam loops. Unfortunately. There's uh We're going to be like an hour short If my calculations are correct, but we don't have our motel reserved till tomorrow anyway So probably have another night in the truck That's a long drive to I'd be a full 13 hour drive and I don't think we'll quite make it Depending on how traffic and why there is in the mountains But what I was getting at here is that Alberta's in mountain time. I'm still in central time So I forgot about that. So we're actually an hour earlier to deliver than I thought we would be I thought we were going to be arriving between 3 30 and 4 and I was getting a little nervous I was like, if anything goes wrong, I might be late. I don't know when they go home Probably around 4 35 o'clock don't want to be late Turns out not going to be late at all Gained an extra hour as soon as we're crossing Alberta As long as this fog doesn't get too thick that'll slow us down Well, we did it we got here on time and we delivered on time You have six hours and 45 minutes of remaining drive time And we have six hours and 45 minutes of remaining drive time Would you look at that? Fantastico Cool, so we're gonna get pretty far. Camloops is 800 kilometers from here a little bit under so a little bit under 500 miles Won't quite be able to make it tonight, but that's okay. We'll get nearby I'm kind of hoping to get a reset even though. I don't think I'll need it but If I get there tomorrow early enough and then I stay there till the second Early in the morning, right? Remember we got the motel for two nights there It's a cheap motel is like 50 bucks a night So it's it didn't look like a dive, but we'll make our judgments once we get there. I'm not paying 150 bucks a night for a fancy hotel I'm fine as long as you got a bed free of bed bugs and A tv with cable and a shower Throw in a little mini fridge and you've won my heart Maybe I'm just not very picky. I don't really care a cheap motel So as long as it's pet friendly, right? So we'll be there till the second early in the morning. I mean we get there on 31st. We'll be reset That means I have a full 70 hours available to us But we're going home for the iui, but if the iui doesn't take long like we got to wait for a brit cycle And when it's time, we got to go into the doctor like immediately and do this procedure So I got to stay home till that happens But the way I have it worked out as long as I have a load which I don't have yet As long as I get a load straight back home I should be home on The fifth or so And that's right around the time when we're thinking We're going to need to do the procedure Six seventh somewhere in there and oh and on the tenth I have a doctor's appointment I don't want to be home all week though Might have to reschedule that doctor's appointment The doctor's appointment to follow up on all my CT scans and everything And if it was an emergency they'd be calling me to You know go to the hospital so I'm not too worried about that But I do need to do a follow-up with my doctor that I can reschedule if I have to but the iui That is dependent solely on her cycle on brit cycle For those of you just tuning in my wife and I brit have been having fertility issues From what we can tell it's on my side, but I'm not infertile We're good. We're just getting a little elevator ride We're getting our team just sort of dropped off at the finish line because they're not very good swimmers So anyways With that little recap out of the way We're trying to get this iui procedure done This month that means Very very very good chance if we get it right on the head nailed on the head right on the right day Very good chance that she could be pregnant after this month Let's hope and pray We're waiting. We're waiting. We want a baby pretty badly. So It'll happen. It'll happen. The doctors say there's nothing preventing us from having kids We're just getting a little help along the way so that it happens a little bit smoother and quicker and Good chance that it could be multiples too because they got her on these like hormones or these drugs that Make it possible that she could have More than once we might have twins very good chance You right We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out Okay, so let's get back to trucking here. We have a Bit of a long road ahead of us. We're going to stop by the truck stop just around the corner here Grab some washer fluid because i'm running low and we're going to need a lot And we're going to walk to chevy Because he's been such a good boy all day Such a good boy You know, your mother's been asking about you non-stop She says she misses you so much so much And i miss my weasel too, but we're having fun, right? We're having fun Okay, let's go to the truck stop, but i can't walk you here Okay, this doesn't start up baby Yeah, there you are. I knew you liked me You have six hours and 45 minutes of remaining drive time. You already told me that thank you There was just one stop remaining I wonder if i could deliver this tomorrow. I could probably get all the way down to I wouldn't get there in time They're only working a half day tomorrow because it's new year's eve So i wouldn't get there in time and waste my time going down there No, we already have a motel reserve for us. We're gonna Stick with the plan stick with the plan Sort of kicked my feet up a little bit for the new years, right? I don't always get motels, but yeah, the right price comes along and it's got truck parking So that's important. So many motels don't have truck parking. That's frustrating And I can't go there But it is kind of nice that most motels nowadays are pet friendly Here we just had to pay an extra 20 fee every night, which is kind of ridiculous, but at least they allowed Chevy in there I usually try to stay at places like motel six They usually have pretty good rooms really good rates and pets stay for free That's usually my go-to But not this time Just on the next block over Petro pass we've come in here many times all of us together If this time there's probably gonna be parking right on 26230 township road 531 element turn right into 170 meters Do not enter here. Okay. We're supposed to enter over here 300 meters turn right on 26230 No idea what you're talking about Karen Turn right into 170 meters We've been driving for about five hours today already. So uh, it's time for a coffee It's a big 10 for Could fuel here too, you know, I'm gonna fuel here too just because I'm not familiar with the road ahead. We're going into the mountains and I'd like to have full tanks of fuel. Why not? Just to be safe to be safe And plus I know these de-up pumps are gonna work well surprise We didn't actually go to camloops We couldn't make it today and I wanted to sleep in a motel tonight. So we canceled that reservation at the riverland Uh, I think it's called the riverland in on river street in camloops and we're staying in hinton alberto instead Works out better because now I get a whole evening here on the 30th yet And then tomorrow I get the whole day new year's eve and I can participate in whatever they do for new years around here, probably I'll probably just watch tv and do the countdown by myself and Me and Chevy will be like, whoo Happy new years. Right Chevy right It worked out better because now I can leave here on the first Well, I got to check out before 11 a.m. So if I would have gone to camloops I would have had to leave at about Or get up at about four in the morning leave at about five to six So I could be down on the second like I would have left on the second, right? I would have stayed from tomorrow night to the second, but now I can have all the all evening tonight all day tomorrow And I don't have to get up at four in the morning on the following day The first I'll just get up at you know, whatever whenever I get up eight seven thirty eight nine and uh Make our way down to Langley from here on the first to deliver on the second. Does that make sense? That's what I decided to do. So Here we are That actually worked out because this place is way nicer. This is the quality in in hinting. It's way nicer bigger more spacious newer Pet friendly and it's cheaper It was going to be 87 dollars a night in uh With the pet fee because there was a pet fee on top of everything right and after taxes and everything It's going to be 87 dollars a night So here it was only 65 dollars a night With everything included Saving money getting the same amount of time off in a hotel room for new years. So this is where we'll be mean chevy Are chevy This place smells funny Your water in here I brought in bottled water for you buddy. So you don't have to drink this uh Tap water here. I don't I'm sure it's fine Let's see what this place looks like with all the lights on I'll get some natural. Okay. I'm turning this light on too. I'm guessing that I like the warm Okay, see this is the kind of bulb I like in a motel room. It's that warm white right that warm color That color is like the daylight color that irritates me. It's not natural In my in my eyes. So see what this one is Oh, see this one's warm. What's wrong with that bulb then white that bulb with different color Look at chevy. Look at this madness. Look at this madness That's gonna drive me nuts And there's no lights on that side of the room at all. You know what I might do I might switch the bulbs from here to there So that that matches my ocd is gonna go crazy Right because this is the same kind of bulb. I'm gonna switch them I'm gonna switch them right now. Let's turn them off before they get too hot That's gonna dry. Why is there a different bulb in here? That's just careless. That's just That's too many levels of not caring. We're gonna fix this Okay, so this fluorescent bulbs It's gotta be symmetrical people I don't own a motel, but I know this oh and this one's just like a regular bulb. I guess There's an led. Oh, that's why it's an It's an led as opposed to fluorescent And somebody bought the wrong bulbs somebody were bought the wrong bulbs bubbles Okay, let's put that down in there. Yeah Yep, and there we go See you can be there all by yourself all weird Also over here, we're gonna match Sorry for dragging you along on this, but this is very exciting vlog material very exciting. I couldn't turn it down Here we go Still doesn't quite match. Oh what in the world you got three different bulbs Whatever it's closer it's closer This is more like a desk lamp. Anyways, right right am I crazy? I've got a little bit of a Christmas belly happening here. That's okay though. I have an excuse. It's the holidays after the holidays It's gonna be like that You'll see you'll see So what have we all gotten here? We got a microwave with 17 seconds left on it. I don't know why We got Pretty decent fridge here. Do we got to turn it on check this out? Chevy you could almost fit in there Here's Is it on? Oh, yeah, it's all the way on. It's all the way on. Okay like blasting Blasting anything on the freezer. He didn't leave me anything Okay Do we got her on coffee maker? Okay coffee. Yep What else we got in the closet? With a bag Ironing board sweet. I was hoping they'd have one of those good But no iron What am I supposed to do with an ironing board without an iron? Chevy that's a dilemma That is not convenient Well, we have an ironing board just in case No iron Oh irons over here. Is that an iron? I don't know what that is over there. How do I turn these lights on? What are we going on here? What's this? That is definitely not an iron That is supposed to be hanging on the wall But it is literally just on the shelf With the wire hanging down like that which holds in the wall where it should be Not so much quality in anymore. Is it? They just call it the quality in doesn't get it. She is quality I mean, it's nice. Don't whatever that doesn't bother me might bother some people though. So fix that I don't know why is that fan so loud? What's going on? Oh Special switch just for the fan that is convenient I wish our bathroom at home had that the one we're demolishing only had one switch And it turned on the lights and the fans if you wanted to leave the fan on you had to leave the lights on that make no sense convenient Bathroom sink here. What do we got going on back here? Chevy take a look at this come in here chef come on get in here. Take a look at this Why do you want me to bail when that's weird, man? I'll wait out here Okay, bad not bad What happened up there? So they obviously renovated the outside the exterior of this building and did not Exactly bring the interior up to date along with it mismatched bulbs stained ceilings Hair dryers broken off the wall missing irons 17 seconds left on the microwave No complimentary drinks in the fridge But do they have a bible? Where would it be here? I think it's here Chevy Think it's over here. Wow Maybe it's here. No no bible. What? Well, what? What about this one? What they do with the bible? There's always a bible in every hotel room in north america There's a bible placed by the Gideons Unless if they specifically take it out Oh, hey, look, we got a toaster and a water kettle Where's the bible?
