That's totally fine with me It's raining. I don't want to work outside right now Anyway, hopefully the rain will slow down, but it seems like it's picking up I've had a leaking issue in here recently when it really pours hard water gets in here somehow Looks like I sealed it up though. I tried to fix it looks like it looks like it worked What a wet year this has been so far like the beginning of the year We had so much snow but buried in snow and the snow melted and we're like yeah, it's springtime And now it just won't stop raining The poor farmers Trying to get their crops into the ground Their fields must just be a muddy mess if you're wondering up above here in the left side of your screen If you're looking at this way, yeah, it would be that way right Look the corner every once in a while There's a link that pops up there takes you to one of my past videos I put those there I put five of my past videos at different points in the video like of this video Every day I do that and I put those up there if you want to go see past videos Those pop up there if one catches your eye you can click on it You know maybe watch it later at the end of my video I also have an end screen where yesterday's video will pop up along with another one that YouTube recommends that you might like on my channel I was telling you before just a few clips ago that my playlist you can see from number one all the way to present day and before Number one. I used to call them MLD. It was my life daily. We changed it to trucker Josh vlogs cuz uh Just worked better. I like the sound of it better and we've been going with that ever since it's been 10 years So there's also videos from before that In different playlists I got to organize all those into like a pre TJ v playlist gotta do that Yeah, it just takes some time and time is a very valuable resource that I don't always have a lot of at all But if you if you want to be successful in life You're gonna have to work for it and it's if you want a successful man You're gonna have to deal with a busy man and also before I forget to mention it today Cuz I'm gonna be mentioning it more In upcoming videos and stuff at Keystone Western We're having an open house and I'm gonna be there much my new truck is gonna be there, too We're gonna be doing an open house on Friday June 17th from noon to 5 p.m And I'll be there then for that whole time and on Saturday June 18th So the next day 10 a.m. To 2 p.m. If you're looking for a career change Maybe you're looking to be a company driver Maybe you're an owner operator and you just want to see what Keystone has to offer You don't have to make any commitments on the day, but it doesn't hurt just to come and check, right? I'm pretty confident that you would be happy here If you're an owner operator I can speak from experience because I just bought a truck myself and I'm putting it on here at Keystone Western as well So that's testament to how much faith I have in this company and in their rates I think you'd be very happy here, but if you just want to come and hang out There's gonna be some food. There's gonna be door prizes. We're at 594 Burnett Road in Grand Point, Manitoba That's between the south perimeter on the southeast side of Winnipeg down Highway 59 That's between the south perimeter and Ildesheen There's a QR code on the ad that I shared on Facebook I'll share it on Twitter and I'll put it here on YouTube as well You can scan that QR code to get directions to to where it is It should be a lot of fun. Hopefully we get some really good weather You can come meet the crew you can tour the facility grab a bite to eat and maybe even become part of our driving force Maybe if you own your truck, maybe you can join me doing what I do now I'm excited to get into my truck. I'm excited and like I said, I've been here for 11 years So I can help them out every chance that I can because they've they've been amazing to me So if you want to come and meet me and you see the truck if you want to see Keystone See the facility June 17th and 18th. Hopefully I'll see you there Go go juice Thursday mark diesel oh Player diesel Gotta go with you man. It's the law the law says no marked diesel for you trucker Josh You pay full price. You're not special fine Might be the last time I'm fueling up the next time I've got to pay for it I Let's enjoy this moment It's the last time I fuel up and don't have to pay for There's my fuel cards. Are they over here? I gotta go. What is this pump five pump five? Let's do it Well, it is the fuel price here right now doesn't say if these card locks It's probably like two bucks a liter Six bucks a gallon Incorrect reading show you an incorrect reading incorrect reading incorrect reading Or the other one incorrect reading how about super fast? incorrect reading Slowly oh you like it delicate. Oh, I see I Got you I got you Okay, and nobody look I got to put my super secret password in okay everybody close your eyes Where's it button up close in there five? Wunderbar Please use pump selected. I will that's why I selected it. What do you think I'm gonna do? Boy to wipe down those tanks again, they get dirty fast like really fast It's a constant shore keeping things clean Hello Sampty does it say on here where the fuel price is no it doesn't Here start that going. I got my little setup right here Don't want this to fall out of the tank and cause a mess Like this like that There you go. Good you go now. You can walk around and enjoy yourself. Don't go too far though You're supposed to stay by the truck In the US it's really nice because in the US we can fuel both sides at the same time Even at the Flying Jays with the fuel islands here in Canada exactly the same as the US Flying Jays You can only fuel one side at a time unless if those pumps are broken and then some some of them will let you fuel Both sides at the same time and that is like a little treat when that happens to you If you ever find a pump in Canada that fills both sides at the same time Don't say anything to the fuel desk. Okay, it's not supposed to do that but It gets you fueled up twice as fast and if you tell them they're gonna fix it and you don't feel one side I don't know why it's a it's a rule because you're supposed to be standing by your truck here and If you're feeling both sides here at the same time and you're standing here And that side falls out and it's pouring on the ground. You might not notice it because you're over here on this side They want you to stay here. Some places like out east in the Maritimes like Out by like Maine USA like New Brunswick and stuff You actually have to sit here and hold it the entire time It's illegal to prop it open like this in those provinces. You see here in Manitoba the Wild West here We can still prop open our fuel pumps and it shuts itself off like that Out east They're fancy Minus 30 degrees. Oh too bad. You got to freeze your bottle off You got to stand in here and hold it the whole time and if they catch you propping it open with like the fuel cap or a bottle Or something you're in big trouble. One of the few things where Manitoba is better a little more freedom here It's the Wild West Now we need to take this over to the other side And top it off Let's enjoy it. It's the last time Fueling up a truck like this from empty would be about $1,500 Canadian probably about $1,200 American Maybe more depending on where you fuel Some places it'd probably be close to $2,000 Fuel prices are crazy right now But lucky for us fuel rates fuel rates Freight rates for us are keeping up and our owner ops on percentage on open deck are Keeping up with that as well That's why I bought a truck and I'm diving right in Even when the chaos of everything that's happening right now. Okay, that's full enough. That's a little too full. I'll be good Because I know I'll be okay They take care of their drivers here and You know Everything's very expensive right now fuel costs a lot of money and that gets worked into the cost of the delivery Obviously because if you want stuff delivered to you You're gonna have to pay for the energy to get it there, right? So everything goes up in price everything goes up in price just to pay for this Diesel fuel everything is tied to this This one I stand here and hold the whole time just because It's got a little bit of tension on it. I don't want it to pop out and fly out. So I just stand here It's not it's a nice day Doesn't matter. It's crazy. It's hard to understand. I don't understand fuel prices I understand freight rates and I understand What I do in my profession And for us where I'm at right now, we're doing okay We're doing fine. I mean, yeah, the cost of operation goes up, but The cost of delivery also goes up with that. So Everybody's sort of making the same amount as they were before. It's just the numbers are bigger It's that inflation, right? So what was a hundred dollars before is now 130 dollars It's the same stuff. It's just The money's worth less And there's a whole bunch of other factors involved too. I'm not an economist or anything I'm not an expert on that but all I know is that uh We're keeping up. We're doing all right and I'm excited to dive right in All right, so let's go see how much we took We can work out approximately. Whoa how much it will have costed so Today we got 429.21 liters. Let's say 430 liters the average price per liter here right now in canadian is about two dollars so this fuel up here was Over 800 I just want to enjoy this moment Sorry, I gotta Yeah, I'm gonna do it right now gotta vacuum out this whole thing My truck in my interior is gonna be a whole lot cleaner Because I'm not gonna take my big boots off every time I get in and out of the truck I'm in and out all day, right? So this these rocks like I vacuumed this out like a day ago. It's all messy again So excuse that but I just wanted to enjoy this moment here Next time that'll be my 800 dollars. Okay moment's over I'm gonna have to vacuum this truck out again today But it's just that time of year, you know, it's all this mud everywhere and everything Is what it is. It is what it is My truck I'm not gonna be getting in and out of so often. There will not be any shoes outside shoes allowed in my truck Nope, diesel's paws are the closest that's gonna come to that and we're gonna make sure that they're cleaning before they come in the truck No In my truck, there will be driving slippers for driving. Whatever I have to do there But my outdoor shoes will be in a nice little shoe rack or a shoe place off to the side No dirt inside my truck And I would do the same in this truck too. Let's be honest. I would do the same here too I get in and out so often And these shoes take forever to put on and take off What? All right boys and girls here we go bitter in gear. Let's get out of here Full of fuel full of juice Wonderful wonderful. Actually, you know what before we even leave this yard here I want my coffee It's one o'clock. I need my afternoon coffee Ah There you are My friend, you just stay right there. Okay. I'll be right with you Let's go And Anyone coming? Anyone coming? I don't see anyone So much greenery around here. It's so nice. All right. We'll stop. Oh, that's a Corvette coming there. Oh, no Okay, okay kerfluffle There we go There we go. Everybody's happy Did it go for a buck? Show me what that Corvette can do. Come on, come on. Impress me. Nice. And like every other Corvette, the signals don't work. It's one of the perks of driving a Corvette or a very expensive sports car. Signals are optional for you. I hope to reach that day. One day I'll reach that point. So, we figured out why the finances weren't getting released as quickly as we thought they should be. I made a few phone calls today because I was wondering like, what's going on? Let's get this on the road, right? What's going on? What's the hold up? I'm getting impatient. I'm not getting impatient. I want to know what was going on. I talked to the seller today and asked me, you haven't got the money yet. The down payment hasn't come out of my account yet. Why hasn't the money moved, right? On this purchase of the truck. What's going on? So, I called into the finance. I was like, what's going on? Why is the money not moving? It's been a little while. All they were waiting for one more document. One more document. So, we figured out which one it was and we got it to them and now they have everything they need. I mean, I thought before they already had everything they needed but now they have everything. There's a lot of eyes to dot and tees to cross when you're purchasing a big purchase like this especially when it's a commercial vehicle because the registration is different. The insurance is different. The price is bigger. The financing is different than when you're buying like a personal vehicle or something like that. So, anyways, I'm learning. I mean, this is the third truck I've had but let's be honest, the second truck I was leasing through Keystone. So, they did all of this work for me. They did all of this paper work for me. It was super easy. I don't know if that one would count. The truck before that that I had was the Freightliner Sentry and that one I bought, 2011, it was much simpler. For some reason, much simpler. But this one, anyways, this one, maybe because it's the W9 that I've been waiting for, things are a little bit more complicated but we got everything under control now, I think. I think it's, now we should see funds moving and we should see numbers moving. Let's be honest, this money doesn't exist anymore like it used to, it's all digital. It's all just numbers in a computer and all they gotta do is beep, beep, beep, hit a few buttons and the numbers change my account and the numbers change in my seller's account and then everybody's happy. But, so hopefully this will happen tomorrow. I don't know if it will or not. I won't hold my breath over it but I'm hoping this will happen tomorrow and Friday and then I can take possession because as soon as that money transfers and they give them the money that is his, I can go get the keys because the truck is safetyed. It's got all the work done to it that was supposed to be done to it. Now the only thing that needs to be done yet is the bumper. He ordered a new bumper for it, that was part of the deal and the bumper that came in was the wrong size, unfortunately. So he's gotta order a different bumper and that's gonna come in in probably two to four weeks or so. So I told him, yeah, it's no problem. Yeah, just leave the old bumper. There's nothing wrong with the old bumper except it had been bent out a little bit so that's why he was gonna replace it for me which I really appreciate, it's really nice of him. So he's gonna get the new bumper and he'll just bring it to the shop here and we'll install it here at my shop. He's from Steinbeck here as well as from the town here so we'll install it later. But I can take possession before the bumper gets here. That wasn't a deal breaker for me but I do still want that eventually. So that's the only thing. Other than that, everything's done, it's ready to go. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Tomorrow's Friday, if nothing big happens tomorrow, we're gonna wait till Monday to see what happens and that'll be a very long weekend but in that case, I'm probably gonna go to the ride for dad on Saturday. That's a motorcycle rally, motorcycle ride for a fundraiser for prostate cancer and prostate cancer research. Well, it's probably, I mean a fundraiser for the research, not for the cancer itself. Just clarifying. Some people are just reading the subtitles here so I gotta clarify. It's a bike rally in support of prostate cancer research and it's called the ride for dad and if I don't have possession of the truck tomorrow or this weekend, that's probably what I'll do on Saturday is I'll head out there and take part in that. I think that'd be a lot of fun. We'll see, we'll see. But if I have the truck this weekend and I'm not gonna wanna leave this shop, this shop, the truck's gonna be right here and I'm gonna be sitting here staring at it. That's my plan for the weekend. If I can get that truck in my possession before the weekend, my plan for the weekend is literally sitting those couches right there and stare at the truck. Let's maybe start it up. Big weekend plans, big weekend plans. But anyways, I'm done putting this together here so I'm gonna head home and we're gonna get some supper going, make up for a walk or a bike ride or something and we'll go to sleep and we'll get ready for tomorrow. Nice evening. Didn't do anything today though. No bike ride, no walk, no time. Got home, ate supper and that was all we had time for. Now it's time to go to bed. I know the sun's still up in the sky but it's actually like nine o'clock so it's lighter than it feels. It's that time of year. It's my favorite time of year. Sun goes down like 10 o'clock and rises at five in the morning. It's great. So it's light when you go to bed and it's light when you wake up, usually. Diesel, stay out of the mud. No, no, no diesel. This, no diesel. Diesel, I specifically said no, don't go in the mud. You're my witness. He almost straight up just ignored me. So it was a pretty long vlog as it was already so I guess I'll just end it here. Thanks for tuning in everybody and I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully we have good news tomorrow to share with you about the truck. If not, I guess it'll be next week. And hey, maybe we can do that ride for dad then because tomorrow's Friday. Hope dogs are barking.
