 Good morning everybody. We're here in London, Ontario been here for a couple days now. Well over yesterday and the day before and we gathered up a little bit of snow. Before we go on the road, we've got to clear that off and then we can go pick up our load. That'll take us home. I have told myself that. How many times did I shovel off a load of snow? Probably about a couple hundred. So I told myself about a couple hundred times. I didn't really have my own shovel on my truck. Yeah, that would be a good idea. Yep. So thank goodness for flying j-manageries and they're very kind to let me borrow their shovel and trust me to bring it back. Obviously I brought it back. Some people out there, they probably just take it and run unfortunately. So they were very kind to trust me with that. I brought it back to them. The trailer's all cleared off and we're gonna head up the road. Our pickup got changed. We're supposed to pick up in Thorndale, which is just around the corner here. It's the same load. I guess they just forgot where it was. I don't know why it got changed. But now I'm picking it up in Hanon, Ontario, which is a little southern, pretty much in Hamilton, Ontario, which is like an hour and a half back towards where we came from. I thought I would have stayed out there, but you know, it's trucking. Things change. So I'm reset now. Just done my pre-trip after I shopped off the trailer. Truck is all good to go. Now we head up there. I have an 11 a.m. appointment. It's gonna take me about an hour and a half to get there. I have two hours to get there. Let's hope that's enough time with the traffic. We'll see what they got for me. Apparently it's like some part of a bridge or something. It's gonna be almost 12 feet wide, like 11 foot 8. So let's go see what it is. Let's go pick it up. This weekend, my phone charger went kaput for some reason. I started charging it and suddenly it started dinging, saying, hey, there's moisture in your port. Unplug immediately, and it refused to charge. And I said, wait 24 hours. I googled it, and I said, okay, wait 24 hours and let it dry out and see what happens. Well, it's been almost 48 hours now. And it still won't let me charge through the port. So again, thanks to FlyingJ here, I went inside and I got this wireless charger. This is actually a charger. This is pretty cool actually. You push a little button on the side here and it opens up. That's a fast charger. And now I know it's designed to be like this. But when it's like that, watch this, it'll open up automatically when I put my phone in here. And it's a wireless charger. And it starts charging my phone. Fast wireless charger. But I don't like it that it stands straight up like that. It's out of my view. And this is the only place I could mount it in this truck. Look at this place. Every part of the dashboard here is filled with some kind of gauge, like switch, lever. I couldn't mount it anywhere where it would stay. So this is the only place I could find. I could mount it, stretch it out to here, out of my way. And then instead of having it like that, I can put it sideways like this. And it's exactly level with my hood. You see that from where I'm sitting here? It actually only just covers the front part of my hood. It doesn't take away from any of the road in front of me. So that's what we're dealing with now. I can't charge it normally. I might have to take it to get fixed. Of course, right when I paid off too, right? I paid off the phone and it's mine now because I leased it at the beginning, right? The phones are so expensive nowadays. This is crazy. But I leased it and I paid it off. So that's mine. And of course, then the charging port goes. Of course. But luckily these Samsung's have a work around. You can charge it wirelessly. So that's what I'm doing. I bought some wireless chargers off Amazon that'll be waiting at home for me when I get there. And I got this wireless charger for the truck. That'll keep it charged. That was my my only option right now. All right, it's been good sitting here. It's been fun in London. Let's clean this off real quick. I almost forgot that. All those fingerprints. I don't want to stare at that all morning. Not perfect, but it's better. We'll use a little bullsnot on it later to clean that off. I got to go pick up my bridge. Bites are on. Truck is all ready to go. Snow is off. Trailer bed. Hash cams running. Everything is mounted. I make sure my trailer is attached like it looked like it was. Trailer brakes work. Trailer is attached. Trailer brakes release. Fantastic. Let's go to work. All right, old blue. We're gonna go pick up a big one. It's supposed to be about 46,000 pounds. I think so. It'll be pretty heavy. We're going to take Highway 11 back. I've got my permit for all the all the King's Highways, which means all public highways. Well, not all public highways. There's the King's Highways and that's what my permit's good for. So we're good for the 11 all the way back. It'll be easier than carrying an oversize through the 17. He's got reels too. Same kind of load that I took down here. Oh, oh, what are you gonna turn in front of me or am I gonna go over here and wait? Okay. Thanks bud. I think I had the right of way there, right? What do you guys think? Who was in the right there? Was that my right of way or was I supposed to wait for him to cut in front of me to go to the pumps? Let me know in the comments. You always got to wave at all the other K whoppers. All the other all the other W9s. You're good, man. You're not in my way. Don't worry. I'm good. Well, flying J was fun. You were very kind to me. And this, I washed the truck here yesterday. Do you know Blue Beacon Canada has renamed itself? It's the same ownership. They renamed itself to Northern Touch Truck Wash. Same thing. Exactly the same thing as a Blue Beacon. Just got a different name now. Same Canadian owners. I didn't know that until yesterday. I learned a thing. Come to London, you'll learn things. All right. Here's the 401. Let's go. Which was kind of nice for a day off at home. They're having a cold snap right now. We're going to be driving right into that on the way back minus 30 overnight. Here it was just zero degrees Celsius the whole time, like 32 Fahrenheit. It was actually nice and warm. We are strapped down. We are flagged. We are tagged. We got our paperwork looking good. I'm going to drag this thing back to Brandon Manitoba. It'll be a three day drive. I can only drive during daylight hours, have to stop no later than a half hour after sunset. And I can only start driving no earlier than a half hour before sunrise. So let's find out when that's going to be. When is sunset today? Today the sun will set at 5.25 p.m. That's early still. Yikes. Where's summertime? Sets at like 8.30 then. Okay. So we have to be off the road by 5.55. Let's round it to 6 o'clock. Five minutes. Gotta be parked before 6 o'clock. When is sunrise tomorrow? Tomorrow sunrise is at 7.39 a.m. 7.39 so we can get rolling 6.51 or 7 o'clock. So we got to stop by 6 o'clock today. Can get rolling at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. 13 hours that we got to stop for. Oh the sun's already moving so we better get moving too. All right guys. Let me introduce you to my little friend. There it is. So I was still able to keep all straps inside the rub rail. Even though the freight goes outside the rub rail. We're permitted for an oversized load. In that sign on the back. Got to stay on there pretty good. Not exactly centered. That's okay. Let's do it as job. 11 foot 8 wide. Let's go home. Just from the shipper. Absolutely no chains on the mesking shores. Temeskaming. First place if you wanted to exit. What are you doing? Just south of North Bay Ontario. I see no right next door. It used to be just an open field over there. Burger King in here. They got a subway. They got a Tim Hortons. They got a Catscale. They got Petropas fuel. This is this is the place to be. I remember when this place just opened up and everybody got blown past it because they didn't know this was a truck stop here yet. They didn't know there was parking here. I was one of the first ones. I know I usually blab on YouTube right away. Hey look look there's new parking. New parking and then everything fills up right away. But it probably has nothing to do with me. People just figure it out. But I don't help by letting the whole world know. Because I used to come here because there was always parking here, right? Now this place will fill up tonight. It will. I stopped real early though. I had to get off the road by six. I got here at like ten to six. I think quarter to six. The sky was still light. But the sun had just gone down and I had to stop. So it worked out perfectly. I had to be off the road before six. Worked out perfect. So tomorrow I'm hoping to make it to either Longlac, Ontario or Shania. Is that what's called Shania? Or just by the Flying J by Thunder Bay? That's my goal for tomorrow. One of those two. The goal is Longlac. I can't fail. Because once we pass Hearst, Ontario, it's like four hours or something. Four hours of just nothing. So I have to make it to Longlac. If I can get there before the sun goes down, great. If I can get a little further, awesome. But I'm not going to make it any further than Thunder Bay. Hey man, if we really want to exceed ourselves and like score really big and go huge, maybe we'll make it to the Petro Pass, the Card Lock, on the other side of Thunder Bay, we're at the corner of the 17 and the 102. It's a little, if you know the area, if you don't, I get it. That breeze you felt just go over your head. That was what I just said. Right over your head. Don't worry about it. It's fine. We'll see what happens tomorrow and then I'll be home the following day. I believe they're going to try to get someone, one of our city guys that delivered this load for me. We have a prenatal appointment coming up next week and it's on the same day that they want this delivered in Brandon. And if they can't find anyone else, of course I'll deliver it below myself. But hopefully they got a city driver available and they can take that load to Brandon for me. It doesn't always work out that there is one. We're always looking for drivers, city drivers, long haul drivers, flatbed drivers, van drivers, everything. So we'll see. Thanks for joining me today. It was a lot of fun. We got this big old wide load behind us now. And we got two days of two lane roads with this thing. Can only drive during daylight hours, but shouldn't be a problem. We'll get going early tomorrow and we're going to have fun. Take care everybody. Don't forget to hit that like button. Don't forget to subscribe and share it with your friends. I'll see you tomorrow.
