 It is time We're heading out on a trip So we got to get back to trucking. It's early morning right now. I'm getting all my stuff into a blue I've taken most of my stuff out a lot of it anyways Yeah, I'm just putting it all back in getting it all organized Starting up. We've got a trailer to pick up It's taking us down to Brainerd, Minnesota. Look at this Look at this! Beautiful. It's not too hot. Definitely. It's not too cold from a Manitoba stone standpoint All right, the weather is actually pretty good today. It's nice and comfortable. It's zero degrees 32 Fahrenheit We're rocking and we're rolling I've got a load in the yard. It is tarped The load gods my list down upon me. I don't know how this happened, but I am grateful The only downside Well, actually wait, there's no downside to that actually. Well, I'm not gonna complain Josh Someone tarped your load for you. Don't complain I am definitely not gonna complain that I'm gonna have to carry around extra tarps and extra straps and equipment For the rest of my trip until I can bring it back to the yard even though I don't have space for it We'll figure it out We'll figure it out So someone else tarped it for me one of our city guys went and picked it up And I am so grateful for that that is awesome awesome way to start the week Awesome way to get back on the road after the big move The house is still not settled into so I haven't filmed an official host tour yet I don't even know if you guys want a house tour if you guys care, but I care I mean, I want it to be part of the record on my vlog. It's a big event I just want to wait till we're a little bit more settled in. I Want to show you like the finished product So you'll see it in the background of my vlogs and stuff you'll put it together But once we have it all nicely settled in and we're happy with it. All the boxes are gone The garage is cleared out. Yeah, we'll film like a little little walkthrough. Why not? I? Also didn't have time so there's that man It takes a lot of time to move but I got my Timmy's flown through my veins I've got my load. That's already tarped waiting for me to stop the road here. We're gonna hook on and go Let's see what's in Brainerd, Minnesota. See what's up soon as this gravel truck up here finds a throttle There you go, buddy. There you go Right on right on we're not all paid by the hour. Thank you. Thank you. There you go You can always tell when you find it when you're following someone who's getting paid by the hour I get it. I get it. I get paid by the load Percentage of it the majority of it goes to me because I have the majority of the expenses Fuel is not cheap. I don't know if you guys have noticed or not if you guys have driven past a gas station lately or a truck stop Fuel prices are not in the friendly range Trailer five Five four four I believe that's a flatbed not a step back It's not in this lineup Five four four it will have a term to load on it Five four four, I'm not even seeing any tarp loads yet down the corner. Oh, I think I see it I think I see it You see it I spy with my little eye A tarp load is it mine? Beautiful thing Wrapped up like a little Christmas present so that I don't have to do it I'm gonna have to add an extra bungee there on the top, but that's okay. That's okay It's Caden who did that for me. You guys know my buddy Caden. Thanks Caden from the bottom of my heart You made my day I'm so happy that I don't have to tarp today All right, so let's just talking at Caden. He's just reminding me to Put a strap over the back or over here yet just to make sure this tarp doesn't creep forward These are just yard tarps I can just bring them back to the yard here when I'm done Just old old ones That's fine because the old ones work just as good as the new ones It's even better when I don't have to put them on It is that season of changing weather So whenever that happens around here the prairies get very windy in spring and fall So it looks like we're going to be going right into the wind once again. That's wonderful It's wonderful. I'm gonna turn on to highway 210 Take this westbound from highway 59 here over to highway 75 take 75 south Once you get down to the us at the north dakota border highway 75 turns into interstate 29 And that interstate will take you all the way down to kansas city going that far We'll go down to fargo north dakota. Then we'll take i-94 eastbound Into minnesota Actually, sorry. No. I'm wrong. We're going to brainer We're going to go down to grand forks north dakota And then take highway 2 us2 eastbound through detroit lakes Toward brainered minnesota Brainard is practically right in the center of the state of minnesota. I like it there. The people are very nice It's a nice little town. Well, it's kind of a small city. I guess depending on your definition of city and town Like for me, I consider steinback like a big town, but legally and officially it is a city What would that make like chicago in new york like mega cities mega metropolises They're like past the point of city. There's something else something else all together We could just call chicago a danger zone Some parts not all Chicago is actually really nice. I've spent some time there. It's a really nice city is I feel a little uncomfortable because I don't know what areas to avoid Because I know some areas you don't want to be caught walking down the street And other areas Perfectly fine just nice, right? There's just too many people in one place for me though I mean you guys who like that kind of thing you guys go have fun. I don't care. No judgment I like to have a Bit of a smaller community. I like to know who's around me. I like to know my neighbors Cheapest fuel on my rope today is right here in grand forks, north dakota at the pilot flying jay. Let's See how long the lineups are here. It's usually pretty good We've been going against a light wind all day Which has been fun from here will be headed East so we'll have a crosswind on us, but we'll head over the river into minnesota South And minnesota is mostly bush once you get across there So that'll break the wind for us and we should have smooth sailing the rest of the day Looks like they're building something here again. I don't know what's going on over there I wonder if that's flying jay that's building that or if it's the neighbors that own that property there Okay, let's get some juice and let's get back out there hold up four 128 gallons Or 485 liters Cost a little over six hundred dollars We're gonna get going. I'm gonna get this off. I like to be comfortable while i'm driving Put an easy reach for the next time I stop got myself a coffee Half intense energy half columbian Because I like to party but I don't look party too hard. We've got another three and a half hours my gps says I have to look because I was assuming we're gonna take highway two across From grand forks here. Oh, it looks like my gps has changed its mind We're gonna go down through fargo and then take us 10 across That actually makes more sense to me and taking highway two across okay Those of you from minnesota were probably Yelling at your screens already Hey us 10 don't take us two I hear you I hear you now It's actually uh 50 kilometers or 30 miles shorter. I don't know why I didn't see that before the brainered It's between 4 30 and 5 So we'll say 4 45 Time is now 1 o'clock in the afternoon three and a half or 350 kilometers to go or what would that be 200 miles 200 and some miles It's easier for me to gauge how long things are going to take in kilometers an hour Because 100 kilometers is one hour if you're going 100 kilometers an hour So 350 kilometers would take how long going 100 kilometers an hour, which is close to my cruising speed three and a half hours but for miles I don't I don't know 200 miles. How long does that take down into 60s you do about 60 miles an hour You go 60 miles in an hour. How many times does 60 fit into 200? Well three and uh two in a Three in a little bit Three in a little bit Three and a half hours right get ourselves out of flying jane. We're all filled up with juice. We're feeling good got some coffee Minding ourselves up for a great afternoon of trucking south down I-29 Not east on two when I said it to you that we're gonna take number two Take the entrance to the ride on by 29. I thought that sounded funny I feel like it'd be better to go through Fargo, but I said it anyways So I changed my mind Casey's Pilger, Minnesota Just 15 minutes down the road from where we got to deliver this in brainer tomorrow Nice truck stop here for us And it's raining I think it just started raining as I opened the door to go out to show you guys where I was at Since I got back in the truck here just started pouring so I guess we went out there just in time So yeah, we're 15 minutes down the road from brainer We'll get up here first thing in the morning wander over there Get this lumber off my trailer roll up the tarps throw them with the other tarps And then we'll figure out what's after that. I don't know what what the plan is Right now, but I know what my plan is and my plan is to Keep these wheels rolling until Christmas We'll see what happens. Are you guys excited for Christmas yet? Let's not forget about remember and stay and veteran stay that comes first and that is very important Let's not like Christmas overshadow that Once remember and stay is over. I know in the u.s. You guys still do Thanksgiving in November Weirdos, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We do we do Thanksgiving in October But we like to get into the Christmas spirit right after remembers day, which is your veterans day On November 11th So after November 11, it's straight up Christmas time But in the u.s. You guys have to wait until after Thanksgiving, which is on what the 23rd the 23rd So we get Christmas almost two weeks before you guys Haha, how are you bugging it? Oh, Canada and the u.s. Are so similar. We are siblings I consider my American Friends to the south brothers and sisters you guys are family Literally we share a history We share a culture we share a language And we share the longest demilitarized border in the world You know, there are thousands of miles of border With Canada and the United States And we don't got to worry about each other We're good. You know what that makes North America great America is the big guy on the block. I get it What we say in Canada doesn't really make a big difference on the world stage It's a good thing. We stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in America You guys are awesome Proud to have you as neighbors proud to be your neighbor proud to stand with you So thanks for watching everybody and appreciate it. Don't forget when you're out there on the highways Keep your head up. Keep your eyes on the road. Keep your stick on the ice Please drive safe. We all want to get home to our families No sense on rushing The extra 10 seconds you save by driving aggressively Is not worth it See you tomorrow, buddy
