 Hey everybody, I'm Adam. You're not Coming to you all the way from South Florida quiet waters park. See you're watching trucker Josh likes subscribe hit the notification Do whatever you like? Thank you very much. Hope I passed the audition Monday morning everybody. We're at the yard. It's already the afternoon and we need to get going right now We have a load out in ear falls, Ontario. That's going down to Bemidji And we got to be there for tomorrow We have to get that load off my trailer tomorrow because we have a load down in Iowa That's coming on back up to Canada that I have to deliver Throughout this week yet. So we got a busy busy couple of days not much time to talk. I'll give you a quick look at the trailer 53 foot step deck It's empty. We're loaded up. We're done our pre-trip just about buckled in so we don't fall out Let's go Ontario area here. This was like a daily daily route for me here as I was doing the two lawn and arboric stuff Hey, we're going a little bit further Having a little bit more fun Put of a nicer truck too. So I do like the old Pete, but Needed a little bit of work But what truck doesn't right and this truck needs a bit of work too The only trucks that don't need work are the brand new trucks and You almost got to be a rich oil tycoon to be able to afford one of them Monthly payments on a brand new truck and go like anywhere's from four to five thousand dollars a month And you got to be running hard like constant Like 12 13 thousand miles a month just to make ends meet with a brand new truck And then it's still in the shop quite often or it can be Because those new trucks have so much over engineering put into them So many extra sensors that you don't need that they think would be convenient or handy Or good to have. No, they're not good to have. They're actually quite annoying Because they're always breaking right and then you got to replace sensor after sensor after this after that Plus all the stuff into the motor to make it compliant with the new truck stuff It's a it's a headache to have a brand new truck I prefer the older trucks. This is a 2008. That's about the newest I would want to go Sad to say that right because I love trucks so much and It's just the the way they've built the new ones. They're just not very appealing and they seem to have more problems than Then solutions You know, they fix one thing, but in the meantime every every problem they fix they create two more I don't know. I don't know just my thoughts on it. Look at all these purple flowers and the ditches here I've never seen that before here in manitoba. That's new Is that some kind of invasive species or something? Probably means the world's about to end Quick raise our taxes save us from the purple flowers That's the only way you got to raise the taxes Ron trans canada eastbound now pointing our nose towards ontario area and that's The corner the corner that came right before Where that bear ran into me last week. I didn't hit it. It hit me It was around this corner here and about was it a mile up Because when I doubled back to come and check on it, I turned around right here At this turn up and I think it was a mile up hit my Truck on the driver's side and bounced into the left into the median there I'm sure they've got it all cleaned up by now Well, this is where it happened. It was pitch black at the time, right now staring straight at the road And just about here like in my corner of vision right by my air cleaner here I saw a shadow just come bolting towards the truck almost like a ghost It's a shadow and all I heard was a little I knew right away. He's like, oh no something ran into me If he would have been A couple of seconds earlier He would have hit the front of my truck which would have caused a lot more damage But he came hit my hit his head on my driver's side wheel with dead instantly flipped around got himself caught up on my steps Uh He was definitely dead like ripped open kind of dead So, uh, I think it was it was in this in this mile this stretch No damage to my truck my wheel alignment is okay. My wheel balance is okay So that's good I was a little bit worried about that because you know if you hit something hits you hard on your on your steer axle Even if you hit a big pothole it can knock your alignment out or it could also, uh mess things up bend your tire Like mess up your tires that is not balanced anymore Here it is right here On the left here. That's where it was hit me right here. Boom And there's all the mess right there. They cleaned him up already Nothing I could do about it Too bad I was scared that it was a dog because I saw just a shadow run up to my truck, right? I was scared that it was a dog. That's why I doubled back right away. You know me and dogs I like them more than people Double back and I was sort of relieved that it wasn't a dog, but at the same time I'm like, oh man the poor guy One bad life decision and look at you now all over the highway man Not like we have a lack of bears in this area We're not endangered or anything and uh, they're actually quite a danger and a nuisance to the residents living here I have family that extended family live in the area here and uh A lot of campgrounds around here and they always have problems with these black bears So a lot of them get relocated out further on the crown land away from population They shouldn't be in this area anyway because stuff like this happens, you know stuff like that happens they Too many people here we have so much wilderness up north. It's not like they have nowhere to live They have like millions of square miles of habitat up north that are just untouched in northern canada It's beautiful up there untouched undeveloped Lots of land up there for them. So very often they'll get relocated up there and you know live a happy life And sometimes they wander down here and uh, you know I'll get themselves messed up on the side of a w 900 I'm just glad it didn't damage my truck Very glad it could have been much worse And I'm glad it was fast, you know, he didn't suffer. It was definitely fast like instant Is what it is Oh, be careful their bike. Okay. That's all right. That's all right It's kind of worried if he would have like sputtered out or whatever in the lane here stalled or missed a gear Risky That's what life's all about right living life on the edge I'm gonna find it over there when I get to here falls. Hold that. I'm hauling. It's actually a double rainbow. I don't know you can see it It's not as bright right now It's fading away a little bit now But before there's a bright rainbow there and then a rainbow above it yet a double rainbow double whammy It's a good scale. All the other ones aren't nearly as good and a topa side and then we'll cross into Ontario And you immediately go to a two-lane highway And you'll be on a two-lane highway all to toronto Two days of driving To get to the next part of the big big part of civilization in canada This is western canada all the population west of here Northern ontario is kind of like the buffer And then you get the corridor, you know from Windsor, ontario all the way up to cobec city Where the majority of canadiens live we're here in vermilion bay ontario stopping for a quick coffee I don't have a lot of time I think I might never have a lot of time. I'm always in a rush It's the name of the game From here we got to go about two hours north yet maybe about two hours an hour and a half And the shippers there they actually load trucks 24 hours a day They only stop for shift change for about a half hour twice a day So 23 hours a day they load trucks That's a shipper that I like. So this is their little town Town what do you want to call it? I call it sculpture, but I don't think it's real rocks Looks like rocks, right? Here it says vermilion bay established 1909 I think it used to be a little trading post Gas is kind of expensive here. So is diesel fuel I don't understand why diesel fuel is so much more expensive than gasoline Nice little store Get live bait in there Tackle all kinds of fishing supplies makes sense because fishing is a huge thing around here So many little lakes It's a great place to be a fisherman Inspection station is the best inspection station That is how they should be I know one got time for that Okay, how far up here 100 kilometers or 60 miles this way so not quite two hours like I said before limited services I fueled up in uh deacon's corner on the east side of winnipeg Just like last week That way I don't got to worry about fueling up here or tomorrow Then I want to get all the way down to fort francis That's right at the border. I have to wait till the morning to cross into the us Because We got to wait for paperwork to go through I don't know what I'm hauling. They want to know where I'm going. They want to know where I'm from Fair questions, I think The next morning And I'm here in Dryden, Ontario On my way down to Bemidji, Minnesota with this lumber Couldn't film at night because none of the footage ever turns out in the dark And I forgot some pretty good lighting and in the yard there pretty much the only lighting I had was my load lamps Didn't work out So what we're going to do is we're going to continue this vlog all the way down to Bemidji deliver this load We'll start tomorrow's there. I got to head down to adel, Iowa. I believe For a reload But until then this is what we're working with load of lumber Sitting at about 79,800 pounds. So max weights for the us Got about four hours of driving down to Bemidji And a little bit of a rush of course this truck needs a good polish again. Thanks It's always a little bit wild the first day back out on the road, especially if we get going in the afternoon We had stuff going on in the morning I had a whole bunch of stuff to get done. So I left in the afternoon They load all night in ear falls, which is awesome But it also messes up my schedule then and that's my own fault I usually get on the schedule where I drive drive late. I work the same amount of hours as everyone else If not maybe more I push myself pretty hard within the law, but I usually start later end later and I like to change that when I'm on the roads that I start earlier And end later just so that works out better with appointment times and stuff, right? But it is what it is today We're getting going from driving Glad to have you aboard It's day two of this trip already, but Still on vlog what 20601 yesterday's vlog. I said we were on vlog 2700. I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit I have over 3000 videos But uh, this is vlog number 2601 since I started counting I like to keep it confusing Made myself a gourmet breakfast peanut butter and jelly Got myself some gourmet coffee Oh, that's some high quality gourmet air going into my system right now releasing the brakes I'm gonna roll down that window for some gourmet air You say gourmet.

We don't have a lot of time to mess around Straight there going straight there And hopefully no delays at the border We've got to go around here and then through town again past that paper plant remember that from last week The smelly paper plant People around here say it smells like money That's how I feel about uh diesel fuel and diesel fumes in the morning Oh, everyone's all like oh, it smells like diesel fumes. It's so bad. No, it smells like money It's always so strange, you know people always stare at you like they've never seen a guy with a camera stuck on his head Is that not very common or what? It's very common in my area This truck just loves to pull Just feathering it up the hills Red light red light that means stop. It looked at me funny too. Doesn't even smell that bad today I guess the air is uh The air currents and the winds are taking the smell away Having a good smell day. They use deodorant. They took my advice Have you That's right where we stopped last time Beautiful day. The sun's not shining, but the air outside is just perfect Not too hot Pardon me. Not too hot. Not cold.
