 good morning everybody start this day with a little bit of chaos here at the truck stop i went just down the road a little bit to the pilot here in moston wisconsin where i could grab a shower here because i had a shower credit so i figured i may as well use it and now we're going to head down to rachel illinois the petro pass and look how nice the weather looks here right besides from all of this chaos it's looking pretty good out here there's another truck coming out of course right when i want to leave that's when everything gets jammed up every time literally look all these guys pulling forward too on the left right as i started my truck and i started my camera i was like hey let's do some vlogging that's when all of this began anyways how you guys doing still supposed to be snowing in rachel illinois are missing the brunt of it looks like blocked or something he'd like six cops and angry started to fight teslas check this out i'm past the owner show you to my on their brakes because this cop was turning around i actually really like these teslas lanes that's a solid line solid line every time in construction zones it doesn't matter if they put down a solid line people don't know what that means that means you can't change lanes there with a really nice heavy duty pickup truck to compare to like the 2500s and the f250s i'd look into it i look into it i'm not against electric vehicles and if they made it affordable make charging stations a regular thing everywhere just like gas stations are right and they'd have to make the charge fast enough so that you don't have to sit there for hours while your vehicle charges and you'd have to be able to go like at least 500 miles i would say on a charge that'd be nice way to go you know i a little less critical of this pointless carbon tax that we have right now if we had a viable option or alternative i've got to drive this truck i've got to buy diesel fuel for it freight needs to be delivered the world needs to keep turning the economy needs to keep going otherwise everybody loses nobody makes money then so i have no choice i have no alternative so i'm being taxed for something and punished for something punished for polluting remember he always said that there's a price on pollution now but i have no other option you know i'm being punished for polluting but give me another option no tesla semis they're not really an alternative at this point they're a dream and a competitive option and then maybe punish us for choosing the dirtier option but right now that's why i'm so mad at the carbon tax and i have no choice costing hundreds and hundreds of extra dollars every month that comes out of my pocket so far we're not charging anymore for our freight and fuel prices are going up i'm not getting paid more that just comes out of my pocket for something that i have no control over i have no choice that's why i say if they come up with like a tesla pickup truck i look into it i'm not like a a terrible person who wants to pollute the environment and stuff like i get it alternative i'll don't punish me for something that i have they're really rough here yikes we're getting close to the border with illinois i'm gonna pull into this rest area here actually i think a little snowier i can't read these signs is it covered in snow trucks this way okay barely read it there oh there's a bunch of dump trucks in the ditch here check this out heavy-duty dump trucks just hanging out look at that i wouldn't mind driving one of those that'd be fun i wonder why they just leave them here in the ditch on the on the grass you know the the sod i'm wrecking the grass i think this is a good spot right here i'm not stopping for too long i just need a bathroom break and stretch my legs a bit we have one more hour to go approximately i want to get there as soon as possible there is a fire truck coming into the rest area he's going out the other side over there so i'm wondering maybe this is where the fire station is it's maybe in the back here i have to check on the map i can't see it from here but he came from somewhere he didn't exit off the highway either he came from somewhere like behind the rest area i think i don't know where he came from weird let's continue on i don't want to waste too much time here the sooner i get to petrol in rachel there the sooner i can get a parking spot i'm kind of worried that uh the snow would have caused a lot of drivers to pull in and stop which is good they don't feel comfortable driving that's what they should do i just hope that some spots are left open for me i should be getting there around seven o'clock in the evening it's around about the time when it starts when people start pulling in for supper and some people end their days around then i shouldn't have a problem there's something like 400 parking spots there and then from there it's only 45 minute deliver in the morning i want to be there i still don't have a reload so i don't want to go too early the people back home get into the office around eight a.m so if i go in too early i'm i know i'm going to be sitting till at least then to hear from them what my reload is so i don't want to go before that i'd like to get there probably around eight o'clock because i don't think they have a reload for me yet they still got to find one and i don't want to be sitting around wasting my e-log hours while they're looking so if i get there around eight a.m i'll be unloaded by eight thirty that'll have given them about a half hour to settle in to work get their monday morning started start looking for stuff for me so hopefully by around about nine o'clock which direction i should head or maybe even eight thirty depends how quick they are i want to be ready for them at eight thirty though there's not even any snow left on the road which is awesome i was reading reports from this morning and it was bad and my buddy will who he met yesterday he was actually right here this morning and he sent me a picture of it and it was just a white-out blizzard turn right on highway 38 it was good we're gonna park here at the petrol we're 45 minutes away from where we have to deliver tomorrow morning that's close enough this is a nice safe place to stop as far as i know better than parking anywhere near chicago city for the night find ourselves a parking spot and uh and go to bed early gotta be up early probably gonna want to leave here by about seven o'clock seven a.m in 650 meters turn right on south left row then turn right plenty of parking available these petrol truck stops are amazing they have everything you need as does you know quick trips to do as well by petrol and ta's i believe they're owned by the same people i don't know that for sure though but they always have a nice mechanic shop here at this one they have the blue beacon truck wash right here i'm not gonna wash the truck because it's just gonna get dirty right away again and it's a mess i'll wait till it dries up a bit all this to the right is reserved parking because why not right make some money make us pay for i'm not paying for parking tell you that right now i'm not paying for parking nope parking a good spot where uh i am confident that people are not going to back into me exit only okay we got to go around this way why is this the exit well if i come in that way i'm gonna have to blindside it into every parking spot that doesn't make sense well i've got the bed all set up it's not the neatest but whatever i'm gonna mess it all up when i crawl in there anyway i got some supper from the petrol pass here and hold let me tell you i'm excited about this check this out lasagna and chicken alfredo god bless america and some garlic sticks to go with it god bless america canadian truck stops man we got a ways to go i'm looking forward to this chevy you've been a good boy today thanks dad been very very good thanks means a lot man that's right such a good boy good boy you're gonna have your supper soon too you hungry just a little bit a little bit hungry you no don't eat my finger are you hungry let's have supper bud let's say goodbye to the good people let's have supper this is the petrol pass where i'm at right now found the safest spot i could will was right there's like four or five hundred parking spots here tons of parking and i'm right between this guy here and this guy here with a driveway there in front of us so the least possible chance of anyone backing into me if either of these guys leave though i think they're gonna stay here because they're probably waiting for monday morning just like me so it was a short day but thanks for hanging out with me tomorrow's a new day i hope you join us don't forget to hit the
