Hey good morning good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome welcome to the show
that's wrong just as our day started yes indeed we are we just got our pre-loaded
trailer here from the yard now we're heading to Illinois Oz that's right it's
another cold cold morning again but maybe in a couple of weeks right
we'll start warm up anyways it's an OK trip we got thirteen hundred and seventy
four kilometers according to my GPS that's a bit weird generally I thought I
looked on Google I wasn't quite that much I thought it was more like 1200 but
I'll have to double check that again later but
anyways yesterday when I was looking at it I thought it was like 1200 but maybe
our Gees routed me a little different than google map was right but yeah
finally they got their fuel pumps working in the yard here again and were
able to feel it up all the way got our depth and they're beating him so we're
good fueled up rook ready to go only problem
is were actually a little tiny bit heavy on the drives so I don't know I might I
might scale it over there on the on the corner of 52 again just to be on the
safe side we'll see what happens then
the scale there and then Steinbach there they have like a big snow powwow big
snow Paola pile right in front of the scale there so not 100% sure if it
actually works or not but whatever doesn't matter we scaled it anyways and
it looks like we're a little heavy on the drive so but I mean we will be
burning some fuel we really will and
we'll just make sure we don't feel they're up all the way next time right I
mean I do have a little tiny bit of room on the trailer so I could actually slide
it one whole backwards and I think I might be just perfect but whatever
we'll see we'll just hammer down and get on down the road
we'll check the app to see if the scales are open right because we do have an app
that we can check I mean it's not guaranteed but a lot of times the guys
are updating it so we can check to see if the scale is open and it's called
drunkard path that's what it's called the app in case you guys are wondering
and you want to download it and you can check for truck stops and he and check
to see AMA if there's still lots of parking at the truck stop and all of
that good stuff right so it's a really really nice app I really really like it
buddy now let's get on down the road and that's go over there to that scale there
at the corner of 52 and 59 and we'll see what that scale shows us and I'll make a
decision there got in the into the United States of America here a little
bit ago and I lost my green peppers and red peppers today and a lady there I
guess she was a little bit picky today she even wanted to see my additional
paperwork usually you just hand her the the border crossing sheet there and
they're good to go right but now she wanted
all the paperwork she went to it with a poem
looking for everything I don't know what she was looking for but she was going
through it pretty good and then she asked me if I had to be clear anything
and I said yeah I do because you do have to be clear green peppers and or any
kind of fresh fruits fruits and vegetables or anything like that or or
any kind of whatever oranges Tomatoes or whatever right and so so yeah I do I do
have some green peppers and red peppers in my in my fridge in a freezer
you can't have those gotta give it to me alright to go grab them out of my fridge
and get them to her so now I kind of lost those but I did go over the scale
there and it looks like I'm just that here over on the 34 so I'm not
even going to worry about it I think by the time I got into the states here I
probably heard enough fuel are ready to lose a couple of pounds there so I'm not
even going to worry about it and then I was looking the scale is open there in
North Dakota and when I finally got up to it they had closed but I guess they
were only open for a short time wordy we're doing an inspection now or
whatever because one truck was still in there
fuck me this looks like you got a couple of trucks maybe they took the bike cuts
around the scale they're coming out here now because I know you can take the
bypass around the scale so maybe that's what they did
trying to avoid the scale right I know that's illegal but we all have done it
in our career including me I've done it too I remember one time I was a little
heavy on the drives or whatever and I was heading south and scaled by Moorhead
there just outside of Fargo was opening so I went around that one once only one
time that I've actually done it but you know I'm sure if you've been a truck
driver I'm sure you've done it if you haven't then you haven't been driving
long enough yet that's my opinion on it anyways
but you know I wasn't worried about it so I but luckily the scale was closed
and so by time we get down to Moorhead I definitely have burned off enough feel
to not be overweight anyways and I'm still out a little bit of room on a
trailer so when I got across the border I just kind of pulled over and just
moved Axl's back to one hold back or over forward I guess I could say so that
way it takes a little bit weight off of the dries so I should be fine anyways
even when I look at my gauges I look like I'm fine anyhow
so we're not worried about it anymore now I should even be able to fill it up
all the way if I decide to fill up somewhere but I don't think I'm gonna
have to fill up my time I get down to the customer my I'll see how the
temperature is but other than that he finally got the fuel
pumps open again that had Penner's so we got fuel over there today and they had
filled up the Deaf already so that's a good thing we're all good to go get a
full tank of fuel and we're southbound it down yeah that's right
I'm not sure exactly how far I'm gonna go till I take my half an hour break or
whatever but it's already 11 o'clock in the morning and well
I'm not sure if I'll even go really far today I might just go up to Clearwater
or we'll see exactly where I make it up to but regardless I don't think I'm
gonna go too crazy far and then we'll just call it a day because I only got
seven hundred forty-two miles left to go so if I do it under 140 miles I'll be
good it's only a hundred and ten miles to Fargo already right
and then I could make it there tomorrow already I just don't know if there's
yeah there's a up the truck stops around Davenport so we'll see exactly where we
come out where I can stay for tonight but anyhow let's continue on cruising
along here hopefully we get some sunshine later nobody air guys I got
really really lucky here a few minutes ago and said that the scale was still
open and I guess they just shut it down because I didn't see the lights flashing
anymore and also I got the bypass to go by the scale but yeah as you guys can
see we are starting to get some snow and by the way we just entered Manasota so
yeah I hope we don't get too much snow but
this is the same area that I was stuck in in a couple of days ago right up here
in Fargo just on the other side of the state line
is where I was spending at least half a day or three-quarters of the day he has
spent a good time in there that's for sure
and I just hope we don't have to do that again any time soon
but other than that we're going to keep her steady pretty good just hope that
the road won't get too slippery
now I hope we can stay safe oh dear that's the main thing right temperature
has warmed up a little bit it's not nearly as cold anymore than what it was
earlier yeah
so let's go ahead and hammer down and see how far we can make it tonight I
just quickly pulled into this rest they're yet to go ahead and scheduled my
video for tonight obviously that was seven days ago for those of you guys
that are new to my channel we are seven days behind I gotta remember to say that
every so often so this way you guys know right
and as you guys can see behind us we got the sun shining right over this way
right but up ahead of us it's quite cloudy so we might be running into some
more snow later but but right now we're getting a little bit of sunshine and all
take it any time of the week oh yeah but yeah
we've been doing pretty good so far
and I just decided that it's time to schedule my video it's four o'clock in
the afternoon already better do it now before I forget right yeah I usually
only schedule it like a couple hours in advance sometimes two sometimes three
hours but that's usually about the most I schedule these videos in advance oh
look at that up here to the right there's a little bit of a lake there's a
couple of campers right there right on the lake itself guys are doing some ice
fishing there eh that's what that's all about but anyways
that's hammer down and see how far I can make it I think my goal would be to make
it past Minneapolis tonight I would like to be south of Minneapolis on the 35 but
we'll see we'll see exactly how far we make it I made it down to Clearwater
manna soda ladies and gentlemen yes I did
started getting dark and I said you know what I only got four hundred and twenty
five more miles to go so why should I push it any further and I said now let's
pull er in here and call it a day so that's exactly what I did as you guys
can see it's just about dark now and so I said yeah I don't really feel like
pushing it any further and trying to you know find parking further down the road
where you know once it gets dark people tend to want to park right
so I said there's plenty of parking available here yet so why not call it a
day and that's what we did so here we are
we're going to go ahead and close it off here right here and we'll come back
tomorrow again and continue on with our journey so if you liked it please share
it and give it a good thumbs up and if you didn't then you can leave a thumbs
down I don't care either way as long as you watch the video right maybe if you
really liked it leave a comment below maybe leave a comment on what exactly
you liked about the video or whatever right but with that being said we're
gonna go ahead and hang it up hope you have a great day and look forward to
seeing you back here tomorrow
