 We're in Fargo, North Dakota. We got our ride. So I had to wait for the sun to join us so that I could legally run down the road and not be in violation of my permits. So now that the sun's up, we gotta go an hour and a half east into Minnesota to a town near a town called Park Rapids, Minnesota. And I was a little bit up there. Looks like we're gonna be delivering it to like cottage country up there by the looks of it on Google Maps, but we'll find out when we get there. According to my Trucker Path app, the scale and moorhead here, leaving Fargo, was closed. The last update was an hour ago, though, so we'll see if they've dragged themselves into work yet or not. I got nothing to hide really, but I'd rather not waste any time there while they inspect my load and how legal it is. We'll find out when we go past there. Let's get going. I've already done my pre-trip. I've got a muffin here for breakfast. I've got my coffee. I'm ready to roll. It's a beautiful day to be a truck driver. Look at the sun coming up over there. Oversized load pulling behind me. US Interstate highways. It's gonna be a good day. I'm hoping it's gonna be a bit of a shorter day. I just wanna quickly unload this and rush back home for the scale. So I don't have to pull in, slowing us down today. I got nothing to hide from them, but I was just a little concerned because I have an oversized load. Very likely what they'd wanna do is they wanna pull me in, check out my permits, check out my securement, check out all my signage and flags and stuff. You know, just cause it's an abnormal load and I really didn't wanna waste my time doing all of that today. I gotta get to my customers. They're gonna be waiting for me at the job site. And then this is Saturday when I'm filming this now. So I was eating into my weekend a little bit, but that's okay. That's okay because I've been asking for these overnights. Thing on a Saturday, it's not really weekend work. It's sort of like weekend relaxation. I'm fine with it. I've gotta wash this windshield. Guys, there's the scale. Low scale is the best kind of scale. They're my favorites, actually. US Highway 10, we're in Minnesota. Obviously, cause we went across, went past the scale there. But we have to take US 10 up to US 59. I explained the route yesterday, right? And then to US 34, and then we take US 18 up to where the job site is. See this job site that I delivered to? It's beautiful. This is as Minnesota as it gets. Are you ready? I already unloaded it here. I didn't film it while it was unloading. I was kind of disappointed in myself, but I had the contractor here with me, and I just wanted to focus on getting it off without anything going wrong. So we tilted the trailer back and we rolled it all off. It's sitting right over here. Look at this beautiful property, eh? These are all cottages on the lake in Minnesota here. The neighbors are pretty close. See, I got one neighbor there. They're building this here. That's what I delivered for. You got one neighbor here. Beautiful. Put all this down here. It came off perfect without a hitch. No problems at all. Goes back around here. And you see the big window right there? That's gonna be their view. Pretty cool, eh? Days like this, I love my job the most. When else would I get to see something so beautiful? Look at the steps going down there, probably to like a little pier or something. A little boat dock, maybe. I'm not gonna wander around too much. I just wanted to check on my load here one last time before I left. This is exactly where he wanted it. Walking access through here, he can get around here with his skid steer. Went off absolutely perfect. It was a little bit sketchy getting in here. It's a very narrow driveway, but he helped me in, he guided me in. He's a great guy. Great Minnesotan guy. This is what I picture when I think of the word Minnesota. And the weather's pretty nice here too. It's warmer than back home. Less snow too. Another job, another delivery, another happy customer. Someone's getting a new lake home. Glad I could be a part of it. There's one more thing we have to do. One more thing, just check to make sure my pins are locked in on the trailer. So I have to slide these axles forward, right? So that the trailer could tilt up. The axles I slid to about the center of the trailer here by the number there. And that way the trailer could rest down on the ground. And that helps to roll off. But I moved these back now to where they should be. Just wanna double check and visually verify that these pins are locked in. One, two on this side. We'll just double check the other side real quick. One, two, everything's locked in. Good. Everything is as it should be. Except for this, why is this ABS light on? This will probably just my plug in. If you ever have that light on, this is one thing you can do to just see if it'll work. Unplug your lights and plug them back in. Unplug the system here. Well, it's hard to do with just one hand. Okay, usually it's just a simple issue like that. Lights are just a little confused. It should be off now. Yep, that fixed it. I don't know why it does that sometimes. There's probably a good answer for you. That's the ABS light. It's probably a good answer as to why that happens, but I'm not a mechanic. I'm a truck driver. All I know is how to fix the issues. I don't know what causes them sometimes. But yeah, it's the first thing you try. If your ABS light's on, it shouldn't be on. That says there's a problem with the ABS system of the trailer. Unplug the trailer lights, plug them back in, see if that helps. If that doesn't work, it might be a bigger issue. Then you need to talk to the shop and you need someone who knows what they're doing. Okay, we're set and ready. I should have enough room to get out of here. I'm gonna have to be careful of these trees here. Gonna head this way. It's a very narrow cottage road, man. I had to blindside it in here too, but like I said, the guy here who was helping me, the contractor, was a great guy. If we lived closer, I'd definitely be friends with him and hang out with him. He's a really good guy. He helped me back in, guided me in perfect. Didn't take long at all. Okay, now we buckle ourselves back in so we don't fall out and then we can go home. All right, gonna be a little tight getting my trailer around this corner here. Nobody's coming, but I wanna fall into the ditch there and I wanna put my steer tire in there. Oh, no problem. No problem. I was worried about the first truck stop we see, we're gonna stop, we're gonna clean these mirrors and windows. Oh, that's nice warm air. It's a little chilly, but nothing compared to where to Manitoba. Let's put this there, there we go. What a beautiful place. What a beautiful place. Reminds me a lot of cottage country in Manitoba. I was talking with the guy here too. It's pretty much exactly like Manitoba. Exactly the same, just more people here. I'm literally, I literally, if I could fly straight home from here, I, it's a five hour shot straight north of here. It's the same region. Just gotta be careful driving through here cause clearly trucks this big don't come through here that often. Hey waves, friendly Minnesota. Look, look at these houses in here, eh? Beautiful. These are just summer homes. They're just cottages. This isn't actually where the people live. Some of them do, but some of them, they just come here on like their days off. There's a little sign over there said God bless America. Indeed, I think he has around here. Oh, I want to turn right here. You can go ahead, buddy. You can go ahead. You can go ahead. I know, I probably confused you a little bit there, but I've got to go out this way. I'll let him go in front of me cause I'm going to be slower. Oh, he's turning right there anyway. Okay. All good then. So I guess I could have gone. Oh well, that was my Saturday. What are you up to on your Saturday? I'm having fun. Okay, we're in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Usually this is as far south as I go. Well, lately anyways. It's a nice treat to be able to go a little further down to Park Rapids, right in the Detroit Lakes area there. So I'm taking Highway 59 all the way back home to Canada, which takes me right through Thief River here. I usually go through this part of town when I come to pick up our loads here. I usually just barely touch into the west side of town and then head back up. I didn't realize how big Thief River actually was. And the sign coming into town says that it was founded in 1896, which means it's actually a newer town than Steinback where I'm from. Steinback was founded around 1874. But this is, it looks bigger than Steinback, but it's probably about the same size. I don't know, Steinback might be bigger. It's hard to tell. I'd have to see this town sort of spend some time here. It looks about the same size. Goes to show how small our population is in Manitoba. Where I'm from, that's the third largest city in our province. And here, Thief River Falls, which seems like a similar size, is definitely nowhere near the top, like probably 100 towns of Minnesota. There's so many people here in the States, I mean, so many people. They have 10 times our population. We have 38 million. They have about, what, 340? It's a little less than 10 times. So for every one Canadian, there's close to 10 Americans. And then if you wanna bring China into this, I mean, China's got 1.4 billion people. So they have the population of America plus one billion people. Same thing with India. So I feel like there's a ton of people in the United States, especially when you go to like New England and New York in that area. But man, just imagine all of these people plus one billion. I see they've gotten really friendly with the roundabouts in Minnesota. My comments to myself. You gotta stare at my crooked wiper there. I don't know why it's like that. We're just rolling through St. Pierre, Jolie, or just St. Pierre for everyone else. We're back in Canada. We crossed through from Lancaster, Minnesota to Tolstoy, Manitoba. I have this empty roller trailer behind me. I've gotta bring it into Winnipeg on Monday morning, but for now, we're just gonna bring it to our yard and then head home. St. Pierre's probably about, I don't know, 20 minutes from our yard. So we're almost there. And of course, everything is packed. Found two spots here in the back here, the tire shop. Convenient, because this is kind of the best spot for me. My truck is on the other side of that tire shop there. So in the morning, I can swing around here and cookie grab it. I was gonna just throw it right in here, but I see there's also a spot over there. I think I'm gonna throw it in here. That was my first choice. I'm gonna stick with my first choice. I'll drop it there. Then on Monday morning, first thing, bright and early, well, before the sun even comes up, I'm gonna take my Peterbill over here, hook up to it and bring it into Winnipeg where it needs to be. I'll be here for you Monday morning, all right? You keep, you be a good girl. You don't get in any trouble with your friends here, okay? You guys keep her in line, Mr. Beast. I gotta get my stuff into the pickup now. This is where I found a plug-in. So this is where I parked the unit. Quickly move my stuff into here and then head home. Children, Sammy! Joe's here! Yeah, where did you go? Dad! You smell like semi-trucks and dido-hoos. I'm so mad at you. Oh, Sammy, did you miss me? Where did you go? I can't believe you took a nuzzer trip without me. That's too it. Whoa, I am taking my dog and I'm going out here. Dad! Dad! Oh, oh, oh! Oh! Dad, dad, I love you! I love you! Where did you go? You were gone for a long time. Did you get to sleep on the bed last night? Did you keep my spot warm? Yes, he was on sale. I see you've returned. Hello? I knew we wouldn't have gotten rid of you. Did you just like use him to... Hey! Don't step on the little guy. Hi, Weiner. I appreciate you acting like you missed me. Makes me feel special. He's a kind of like you. Don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone, okay? Dude, no one puts this on YouTube. I'm not promising anything, man. Did you miss me? You never greet me like this. Never. What is this? You get it? Are you itchy? He's got a little scratch. I'm good. Frank? Hey, you, you smile like a miracle. You, you go. I can't believe this guy. Hi, Weiner. You actually miss me when I'm going for a little longer than usual, eh? Isn't that something? Don't worry. This'll be our little secret. Be honest with me. I can smell it. What is that? What is that? Is that Minnesota that I taste? You went to Minnesota without me? I'm so offended. Why wouldn't you take me? Why wouldn't you take me to see my pit and North Dakota? Both of them? My name's just rude. Why wouldn't you take me to see my people? I'm not going to forget this. You smell like pizza. Shelby, you just said you wanted to end the vlog. I did. I'm going to go nervous. I'm going to go, okay, okay, okay. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. Well, I know how to scare them. Shelby, why are you scared to talk to them? I'm not. Well, why don't you say goodbye? Okay. Can you sit? Can you sit when you say show me your good voice. You're a very good boy. Mom kills me every day. I know. Okay. Is it on? I'm filming this whole time. Oh! Okay, guys. I'm glad my dad's back home. Glad you brought him back to me. Very happy. Thank you. Mom's going to come in that door very soon. I'm very excited. And both mom and dad will be home again. She's going to come right in there. Right there. Mom's going to come. I'm excited. I hope you guys have a good day. Anything else? Come back tomorrow? Yeah. Let's make another vlog tomorrow. Why don't we make a, you want to make a, you want to make a dog vlog? No! I'm glad. Diesel, what do you think? I'm just glad you're home, man. I'm really upset you didn't take me. Oh, I forget you because you're my dad. And I'm glad you're home now. We're going to be a pack again. A whole pack. You pack, you get full pack again. Full pack. It was fun. It was fun and a nice treat. Monday I'm back in the city again. I have a load in too long. I got to go pick up. And I also got to bring that roller trailer back where it belongs into the city. First thing in the morning. So a little bit of a busy morning rushing around and we'll see what the day brings. Life's exciting. I'll see you tomorrow.
