 the first one in there, but that's probably not likely. Somehow guys always, but I really want to be loaded first. So maybe I'll beat everybody today. Who knows, we'll find out when we get there. Don't want to waste any time, let's get going. So I'm pretty sure Canora triples or quadruples in population in summertime. Maybe I'm way off on that, but the population definitely grows quite a bit when the snow melts. Then again in wintertime, you have a lot of people coming out here snowmobiling, right? The whole countryside around here is all just peppered with cottages. All right, we got to go around this tiny little roundabout here. Should be fun. All heavy trucks that way. Well, we're not running on going that way. We're running on going this way. Under the bridge. Bridge, I gotta wait for this to pick up. I wish we had summer all year long, but then I remember, if you have summer all year long, it's not a special. You can't have summer without winter. Everything has to have a balance. Otherwise summer would just be a regular everyday day. Not special at all. I bet you they think that they got here first? No, they know how it works. Nice. Thank you for understanding. Three guys that got here before me. I got here at quarter to seven and they open up at seven. Yet they'll let you into the gate early sometimes. Three guys still got in here before me. Oh, well, what can I do? What can I do? So those three guys about to get loaded and they've got to get tarped, but there's only three. So you can tarp two at a time. And one of the guys up here, I know, I know him from when I was a kid. He's a friend of my dad and I was friends with his kids. Now we're all grown with our own kids already. But anyway, he's been driving a long time too, just like my dad. So he'll be quick. So you can tarp two at a time. There's only three guys in front of me. So two guys will get loaded and start tarping while the next two get loaded. And then we'll come in behind them and have to wait for them to finish tarping. I can always help them tarp to get them out of there faster, but I bet you anything by the time I get there, he'll already be tarped and gone. He's pretty fast. So I'm not too worried. I think I'll be able to get loaded, tarped and delivered. I have to get down to Brainerd before 430 today. So let's get geared up here. Got to put on my Sunday vest, my brain bucket, my vest, everything else. Go get my paperwork all in order and I'll start twiddling our thumbs until 7 a.m. when they'll start loading us. And then it'll be a rush. It'll be a rush day, no stopping. And it's a race, race against time. Me and Brian are on our way south now. He's the guy who drives the other W900. You guys have seen him. Manning in our way as long as there's nothing on the highway, deer or accidents or check stops or whatever. We're gonna have to push it, but we should just make it. As soon as I get over the border, I'm gonna call the receiver to let him know that we're in the U.S. There's two of us coming. That's the exact same load. We should be there, probably around four o'clock, four to 430. We'll see. Hopefully that won't be too late. It's time ever. No stops. Oh, we got unloaded. Brian's inside there right now. He's got that old Kenworth W9. Once he's unloaded, we both gotta head up to Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Thief River is about three hours from where we are now. Probably a little bit more because it's two lane highways, so three and a half hours. And I've gotta find myself a coffee sooner than later. I should be able to get there, pick up my load and just barely make it to the border and get into Canada. We'll see. It doesn't really matter if I don't, it's okay too. Now that we're both empty, we're both headed to the same spot again. So Brian's behind me and his KW. So I'm gonna pull in the pillager for coffee and fuel. Fuel myself up, fuel the whole blew up. Did really good today. It was a rushed day, but we got her done. We achieved the goals. We both have a trailer waiting for us in Thief River. Brian started from his house today. So I started from Kenora. So I'll have a few more hours than him. We'll see. I keep saying that I wanna make it back across the border. I don't really know why I have that big ambition to do that because it doesn't matter if I don't. But I'm just setting a goal for myself today and the goal was to get back into Canada tonight. That's the goal. So I'm pushing myself towards that though. You know, if I don't quite make it, that's okay. I'm not on a deadline or anything. But if I sleep on the Canadian side of the border, I only have to stop for eight hours. But if I stop on the American side of the border, I have to stop for 10 hours. So I get home two hours later. But I don't know if I'm going home tomorrow. I might be going back into the US. That sort of was the plan. And if I am going back into the US, I need to stop for 10 hours anyway. Doesn't matter what side of the border I'm on. So really, it doesn't matter if I get back into Canada tonight or not at all. Does not matter. But we're still pushing for it because I made that my goal. Brian has done a good job on that Kenworth. He's had it for eight or nine years now. Before that, there was another driver in it who owned it for a while. And before that, back in 2011, 2012, I was driving that truck. I was thinking about buying it and I backed out at the time. Maybe I should have bought it. But I'm kind of glad that I didn't because now I got old blue. And Brian's got that Kenworth. Oh, he got stuck at the light too. This way we can cruise down the highway is W900 buddies and we each have one, right? We're gonna lose him now in town. He'll catch up to me in Pilledger. I don't know if he's pulling in there or not to grab coffee and fuel. We don't have to run convoy up to Thief River. Well, it's kind of nice to have someone to talk to. Perfect day outside. Beautiful. Casey's in Pilledger, Minnesota, grab some fuel. Brian's gonna take the lead for the rest of the trip. Got a boat. Yeah, I still got about another three hours up to Thief River there. I've been in the lead all day. I wanna look at his nice truck. That's the real reason. We ran out of hours. Couldn't quite make it back to Canada tonight. So we'll do the rest tomorrow. There's not much to do tomorrow by the sounds of it anyway. So I'll probably bring this trailer back to the yard, head to the shop and then go home. And then it is Canada Day and Independence Day weekend. So I'm looking forward to that. Miles, 600 miles. Oh, check of the morning. So we started. I started in Canora and then we went over, got to the customer or the shipper. I was hoping to get loaded a little quicker there too. Took a little bit to get me loaded, but I was okay. We still got loaded in time. And then Brian came there as well to load. I didn't know that he was gonna be there, but it was really cool that he was because then we got to run together all day today. Really great guy. I enjoyed running with him. And so we were going to the same place. We helped each other tarp and then we helped each other untarp. And then we had our next reload that's bringing us home at the same place as well. So we sort of convoyed around Minnesota today together. I'm really tired now. Like I said, I was hoping to be able to make it back into Canada tonight. Hey here. I'll be up first thing in the morning and continue on then. Thanks for watching today, everybody hanging out. It was a busy day, but I'll see you again tomorrow.
