 what a beautiful day this is gonna be a great trucking day so we're here at the Husky in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario this is where we spent our night it was a glorious night it was a great night and this is our load have you seen it I showed you it yesterday a little bit but that's the whole thing just over 6,000 pounds on there and it's it's a full load it's a FTL full truck load looks like I almost got nothing on there though a and off we go I'm actually stopping at Flying J on the other side of town grab my fuel there and a coffee so should probably take a shower too I need a shower so if we go you just feel it though it's like one of those sunny days like the temperature is just perfect it's such a good day take a look at this on the right here can you read it from here billboard says introducing Canada's electric highway so it looks like the Trans Canada Highway across Canada that's why those electric charging stations were set up in Saskatchewan so they're making it so you can have an electric car and drive across the whole country that's smart see that's smart that's what I'm talking about you want me to buy into this electric vehicle stuff you really really want me to have an electric vehicle that bad make it affordable and make it possible built the infrastructure right so hey they're going for it good for them cool as long as you don't make it so expensive that no one can afford you know I'm gonna afford it like I've said pass along wrap absolutely nothing wrong with electric vehicles I think they're fascinating and intriguing 600 meters but right on Black Road Highway 17 for highway transport for us trucks I don't think it's a viable option yet but they're working on it you know my faith in humanity but for a car like if they made a pickup truck like comparable to my Chevy Silverado a full-size pickup truck come on Karen talking about something important turn Karen if they made a full-size pickup truck that looked good that looked tough that could do all the things that my pickup truck did I consider it I would I think I might actually go for if they make it affordable like make it the same price or cheaper than a gas vehicle sure I'll go for it but if you're gonna charge me a hundred thousand dollars for it no thanks but my my concern still is where is that electricity coming from where is the power plant that brings us this electricity that I'm charging my car with is that power plant polluting the environment more than my tailpipe would have been a gas vehicle there's a good question a lot of them are and you guys know my concerns about the batteries right like batteries don't hold the charge anymore that they don't last forever so once they don't hold the charge anymore they got to be replaced and that's really expensive you can talk that into maintenance on second line east highway 17 really want to be a part of this conversation Karen but you really don't understand what's going on you're talking about electric cars so these batteries they need to be replaced and when they get replaced I'm sure they can design industries and technologies that reuse the batteries for something else but the but right now those batteries just go sit in a landfill for like 50,000 years right it's I don't like that idea but whatever whatever this whole big energy electric car thing is getting big you know show me a pickup truck that looks cool that does everything my pickup truck can do doesn't look like a spaceship or some kind of weird weird object I want it to look like a truck I want to look like a real pickup like a full-size pickup yeah we can talk we can talk and make sure they're designed for Canadian winters yeah only on board but speaking of electric vehicles I'm gonna pull in here and buy some diesel fuel debating if I should shower first and then fuel or fuel and then shower these are the decisions that are plaguing my mind today I think I'm gonna shower for now I'm gonna fuel first so I don't get my hands and stuff all dirty and then I'll go clean myself in the shower and then we'll go okay brilliant idea Josh brilliant idea I'm glad I consulted myself sometimes you just got to consult the experts you know I'm really happy that they built this place here built a few years ago yeah I used to be just a card lock across the road and now they got parking and showers and stuff oh and they got trucks backing up okay okay I'll wait here bud I'll wait right here where is he there he is oh it's a Kenworth okay so I forgive you okay good choice of trucks he's got a tiny sleeper though can you imagine doing long haul with such a tiny sleeper go around you then but okay see I want a bigger sleeper bigger the better I want to be comfortable but I also want to look good at the same time so Kenworth W900 studio sleeper it's my choice one day one day all right pump 20 I choose you I don't know why it's pump 20 I only see like six pumps here there we go beautiful let's do this all cleaned up smelling great wait wait I need to put deodorant on folks forget to do this that nice smell won't last as long excuse me excuse me oh much better there you go now we smell great okay so we're leaving Suze Marie here you have 12 hours and 34 minutes of remaining drive time all right so we got a bit of time ahead of us 1,378 kilometers now and we're doing really good for fuel economy with this light load they're really good okay so let's get moving I want to draw your attention to those two Kenworths just to the left there beautiful trucks the one on the far left the blue and black one I know him I don't know if I can call him a buddy of mine I'd call him a buddy of mine I've met up with him twice now on the road he watches the videos they came to say hi to me today he used to drive an old freight line or a freight liner I think or Volvo but look at what he's in now my dream truck Kenworth W900 studio sleeper he says there's so much room in the back there and he's on the road for months at a time look at that thing lucky guy I want to drive that truck on the road let's do this clouds are coming in we got a run we got to get out of here I'm so glad the snow is not here yet I probably shouldn't have come through this way because I can't get through here okay I thought there was a driveway going past there oh there is sort of on the side here all right well we'll sneak through here that's probably supposed to turn the other way and go out the driveway the other way I thought there was my bad my bad I want to show you all that Kenworth it's alright to sneak on through just sneak on through not too sure when we'll be home tomorrow we can almost get there today if I push it hard but I'm not gonna push it that hard cuz I'm trying to save fuel yes I'm probably tomorrow afternoon hopefully with enough time to enjoy some time at home I don't think Brit works tomorrow construction again you know Ontario just rebuilds all of these roads or redid them in the last few years went at the massive debt for it right but they did it cheap now they're fixing it all again and the road is terrible I don't know why we can't just you know build roads right I don't cost a lot more money but I mean it's safer last longer less construction they always take the cheaper route I guess we can only spend what we can afford you can understand that so we're between well we're not quite a marathon we're pretty much straight across the lake from northern Michigan picking it up yet that new I guess it's not new anymore but those blue lights on the nipagon bridge light up the sky sort of like that pink light the other day that purple light right now it's a blue light everyone likes to light up the clouds for some reason bridge I've told you before it's a single bridge that connects eastern Canada and Western Canada together the river that goes through here and this is the only way across for transport trucks anyways that I know of there might be a way way up there but when this bridge shuts down east-west economy shuts down but they did go and make it pretty fancy and they built it right the second time there it is the first time they built it buckled the first winter because they forgot that it gets cold here so everything got shut down for a while and then they built the second half bit and that one's been good so far I guess they learned their lesson so now both highways 11 and 17 have been joined together and now it's just one highway through to Western Canada we're still about three 400 miles from Western Canada long ways to go through the wilderness here yet eastern Canada and Western Canada the populations are very far apart and there's this tiny little road snaking through the wilderness connecting them not much in between into this truck stop before we stopped here last night and it was completely foggy like I couldn't see those bins right there I came in from the yard there and I just slowly creeped through the yard here over here to where I found the back of the parking lot and then slowly back into a spot I got out and looked me sure there's nothing there and then slowly backed in there's not me there's nothing around me apparently I went for a walk to so whole is it foggy last night so I woke up today I was like where am I I didn't see any of this here yesterday I didn't know any of it was here sorry that's interesting so we're in Thunder Bay Ontario at a truck stop I don't usually stop at right like we're at the Husky what's the address of this place here one second one second bear with me here people cute jeopardy music here Santorelli Husky Travel Center it's on Arthur Street West so it's not a it's not on the main route and I sort of went around different scenic route last night and it got really foggy just as I pulled in here like just as I was coming up here like a mile away that's when the fog started so I figure I should probably call it a night I didn't want to hit a moose or anything lucky I found this place yeah this is where we're gonna end today's vlog I guess we're gonna
