I'm a truck driver and I would be chillin at the Truck Stop. I can deal with the snow, but when it comes to ice no bueno 😂
Yes sir I’d be doing my 34 at a casino in Oklahoma..I saw this coming days ago
Same here
Same. I'll drive in two feet of snow, but not on a thin layer of ice. Ice doesn't play fair.
Same!
@@Stickandmove75SAM that’s exactly what I did
My husband & I are also truck drivers from south Mississippi. We spent 3 days at a fuel stop in Temple Texas! We had a bit of food in the truck & the gas station had food on the shelves but that's about it. The Wendy's restaurant was closed because employees couldn't make it to work but the gas station people were nice as could be. I don't know how but that little truck stop kept a lot of truck drivers safe by letting us stay & park where we could! Even had an older gentleman salt the sidewalk so I could get back to my truck. Thank God above it ended when it did because we had to run truck (no APU), diesel fuel prices are a joke & we all would have killed for a hot meal lol! If ya gotta get stranded for days at a time, I suggest central Texas!!! Those people were a blessing to ALL of us! Thank you guys!!!!!
There are nice people everywhere, but it looks like Texas needs to invest in snow plows :)
Dont eat burritos if you are trapped in a truck with another person
Excellent job to the person that took this footage!❤️
MR. Drom
It's nice to see people with capable vehicles helping each other out
Oh I was in the area believe me they were cashing in not all but most were charging 200$ to 400$
Lived in the Midwest most of my life, now in TX and there was no way I would venture out on these roads. My prayers to all the truck drivers, first responders, law enforcement and tow truck drivers. Management would do well to keep their rigs off the road during ice storms - save time and money and of course lives!!!
Prayers for all truck drivers.
I'm a truck driver too and I feel the same way about this crazy weather it is not worth getting killed or crashing in to the other trucks or killing someone else
LOVE watching these vids. Plenty of entertainment…LONG AS NO ONE GETS hurt, it’s a good time.
I used to live in the DFW area and I hated those ice storms. But no matter what the weather was my supervisor threatened to fire anyone who didn't come in. But now I don't worry about ice storms anymore as I sit back and watch these storm videos from my home in Phoenix, AZ. 🤣
I had a boss like that and I told him I'd sue. No problem after that
😆😆
Thank you for the excellent footage 😊
A whole bunch of people discovering that "All Season" only means dry and wet, not ice and snow.
Yeah, well, no point in putting on snow tires for 3 days of ice that’s gone before you know it.
@@JulietteSasek No point of driving then, either.
@@patmcbride9853 that’s so true.
I grew up in a Nordic country. I understood that snow chains can do a lot of damage to paved streets.
Also in Texas ice storms are only a few days a year at most...stay inside & be prepared!
Dallas should invest in road salt.
Here in Sweden we have winter tires at all cars, heavy or not!
I live in a state where we get these kinds of storms all winter. Driving on them is scary and a nightmare. I'm retired now so I don't have to worry about traveling to a job anymore. Prayers for everyone on the roads there and their safety.
Hats off to the F250 Driver helping the 18 wheeler out at the start of the video.
Great job . Glad you've been able to get around safely.
💕🙏🏻🎺Praying for everyone’s safety!🎺🙏🏻💕
It seems like a couple of snowplows on that hill would be a lot faster than one tow truck pulling semi's up the hill one by one.
We don't have snowplows in Texas...LOL
Thanks for the incredible footage again. Love your channel, from mid summer New Zealand 🇳🇿
Used to turn Dallas 5 nights a week out of Houston pulling Ups doubles. Great training ground with a single axil
Oh dear , had the same here in Oz a few yrs ago , a whole line of singles and B Doubles lined up until daybreak and the road was safe to drive on !😔
I live in the DFW area and it's scary on the road as my car slid a few times u also gotta know how to drive on it too if the speed limit is 40 I went 20 I go half of the speed limit with my hazards lights on while everyone else around me was going like I was just sitting there 😄 im not gunna risk it if I dont need to
You are right Jc.
We don't get snow a lot here...but we do get freezing rain and sleet with freezing rain...we have ice storms here !!!
Massey's towing is getting the business!
Texas is so worthy of snow! 😊
It's a good thing that red Ford is not a "Lighting" cause if it was the battery would be stone dead in about a minute trying to pull that semi. Just ask Hoovie's Garage about them.
This is the guy in the red pick up trucks favorite day ever and it was filmed.
No film was used in the making of this video. It was digitally recorded lol.
@@jt1364 It's still called filming.
New subscriber. Great work by you all. 👍
I watched that wrecker truck pull the same truck up the hill 5 times.
Maybe every time the wrecker unhooked, the semi slid backward to where it was before?
Maybe it was how the whole story got its origins...you know, about how our parents got to school.
@@ROCKLIKEACOBB I looked...the tow truck had chains on two of its rear wheels...so, at least it wasn't 'barefoot'.
Glad I'm not in Dallas...
Nice down here in Corpus Cristi
Greetings from Burleson (just South of Ft. Worth)
Yes I'm OTR 19 years ice 🧊 road conditions is dangerous 👎👎👎 no body can deal with it snow okay 👍 be safe .👍 stop 🛑 the truck don't try to drive on ice no forced dispatch
#1 Driving in snow IS NOT THE SAME as driving on icy roads. An ice patch can spin the most experienced driver off the side of the road.
#2 We don't have snow plows and huge piles of salt at the ready because we don't see enough days over long stretches of time to stockpile it. The state should retrofit state vehicles with plows and brushes to help keep roads clearer though.
#3 Doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you drive, slow down.
My sister in Texas, a niece in Arkansas, a niece in California. Hurricanes one after another in Florida. Ive come so close to you know what.
Celina, and Little Rock...
Moving.
Relocating to Europe.
That Ford truck was excellent towing the semi.
The streets was treated but Dallas got another round of snow and sleet and the temp been below freezing 🥶
So to all the truckers and others on the roads there, What part of ice storm don't you understand
If they have forced dispatch, they don't have much choice. As O/O we had a choice and we stayed home.
That’s one sturdy front bumper💐
This is my route to KCS wylie tx, I’m glad that my company had to shut every one down for this weather..
The best truck commercial I seen.
And at a temperature of -60 people live..
There are very few locals in DFW. If you see an adult in public in DFW, he is not a long time resident, but he is from another state, and probably from a snow state.
It is very clear that it is the trucks that are blocking traffic on the left-hand side.
I wonder how much DEAD WEIGHT and for how long a Bridge can hold? I'm seeing tones & tones of vehicles laced across bridges everywhere stuck in the rut
Texas DOT unable to treat the roads ahead of the storm?
I don't think that would help. Ice storms are just that bad.
In Maine we'd probably be shut down for a day or two. Most people stay home, if you're plowing driveways, cutting brush, driving an ambulance you know what you're doing.
Notice how many people in the comments here are talking about chains like they're a solution. That's like saying that you can rent some equipment and pave your driveway - you're not wrong, but the results will not be pretty until you get some experience.
Unfortunately with winter driving, if you mess up you get stuck or wrecked and then become a problem for others to solve. It's hard to plow roads when they're blocked by crash sites. Texas has a lot of lane miles with not a lot plows.
The result is that storm cleanup is going to take several times longer than it would in a colder climate. I would assume about a week if I had to plan for a storm like this.
Why not salt? Salt doesn't work well in an ice storm. A half inch of ice is as heavy at two or three inches of dense, wet snow or six plus inches of fluffy powder.
To me it looks like some salt may have been used, but these roads need to be plowed. They won't be reliably passable until then.
Too many roads to do. No point when it will just be gone in 3 days anyway. By the time they got to all the roads it’s gone. And cost is a factor too.
Any sound?
That Tow Truck making a killing! Pull a vehicle up the hill, unhook, reverse back down, hook up, pull up hill, repeat...!!! Cha-Ching! 💰💰
First time I’ve ever seen a ford pull a lawnmower out in my life 😂 and I own a 6.0 pos
Nice video, Could you tell which drone did you use?
Ford Crown Victoria on ice is a sad situation. did they have to tow all the trucks in that backup up the hill? no way.
1. Have good tires on your vehicle.
2. Let some of the air out if you get stuck and do not have chains.
3. DO NOT RACE YOUR ENGINE OR SPIN YOUR WHEELS! That will certainly cause you to get stuck.
4. If you do not know how to drive in the snow . . . STAY OFF THE ROAD even if you have to stay at work. That is better than being caught on the road with not heat or food (or place to pee).
5. If you get stuck, DO NOT TURN ON YOUR FLASHERS! You will end up with a dead battery and stranded.
Good pointers 👍🏻
What kind of drone are you using?
That car with the tinted out windows that was Cheech and Chong right I heard one of them say Hey put the blunt down and drive .
Lol! I just watched it again, and realized that the red truck is towing the semi!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it’s a semi tow truck. Oh.
Nvm, I just realized you were talking about the pickup at the beginning.
Snow and ice, Texas's kryptonite. 😂
A large percentage of DFW residents are from snow states.
*Texas has been getting more and more snow/ice the past 10yrs or so!!!*
#ThePlanetIsChangingFast
#GlobalWarmingEffectsEverything
I’m from Canada, this is nothing. It’s probably time to invest in snow tires.
@@l.faraday8767 of course this ain’t nothing for you but this is Texas
Look at that ford putting in work
Apparently no one with a truck in texas has KO2s
You guys don't salt the roads?
There's no salt down here ever! No place to store it, no vehicles to disperse it. The State says, you are Texans, Improvise, Adapt.
Seems they did a really poor job of treating the roadways. It's not like they were surprised by this weather system.
Heck of a Ford commercial at the 4 minute mark.
How many of those fancy trucks have 4wheel drive?
Im a truck driver too. I was lucky to get out of Dallas last ice storm i was running san antonio to dallas , when i got to dallas to deliver my load at 9:30 pm things started to get bad . I went south manage to get to san antonio parked my truck at home got my stuff and went south of the border to my other house. Came back after all that mess.
Just saying it usually but lately it does so yeah these weather systems are changing the Jetstream is way south in Texas that's why this ice monster happend and will happen again maybe not 23 but it will because of these weather pattern changes
Um,in Wisconsin, this is Tuesday.Except we all get to work.
And here we go--SHORTAGES OF MORE PRODUCTS
At first, it looked like it was a Ford commercial
That wrecker service is going to be busy.
Is this Brandon Clement’s channel?
i was there in June for a Wedding. I already walked and seen the streets downtown.
Another "Great State of Texas moment".....
You know he just wants to get out of the way of that semi, before it slams into his pretty red truck!
Texas may not have plows, but they have road graders that will do the trick!
Why the roads were not treated on highways 🤷🏿♀️
Salt will not melt ice if the temperature is below freezing, it will just sit there. Now if they mix it with sand and burnt crushed embers it works better. Some states use Sodium-Chloride to pre-treat the road surface 48hrs before the storm but that only works at the beginning and if the storm continues, well you still end up where TX is now: iced up. I lived in the Mountain West for 20+ years and Ohio so I've had my fill of this mess.
@@roymartin3002 I live in Ohio too, they know how to deal and “drive” with such weather. I live in TX for over 16 years, the winter was like Spring/Fall over here.
If you have steady snow and can plow every few hours, salt helps keep the roads nice between passes. This is too much ice and not enough trucks. Salt can't keep up with that, it just makes the road slush more wet and less sticky.
Too costly for 3 days of ice that will be melted before they can even finish treating all the roads.
@@prisca2774 DFW residents from snow states make up a large percentage of DFW.
I have four wheel drive, I do not need winter tires.
😎😎😎
Que lastima y que dioz los atude a todos. Y nunca olviden de llevar lo nesesario si van a iajar o no salir por si nieva. Espeligroso.
I guess there is something to be said for "the faster i go the sooner it will be over" ...one way or another, anyway.
Had a dedicated run to Mitchell SD. Used to hit a blizzard every year I made that run, seen drifts taller then my truck, been a few times I would pull over where I could and just go to sleep for a few hours
One side is bumper to bumper stopped and the other side has zero traffic.
It is not global warming that hurts
It is the extremes of hot and cold that going hurt us all
It does not matter if the world is heating or cooling down the over all the world It is the extremes that will get us
Right and with more warming comes more extremes. Warmer ocean produces bigger storms. Meteorology 101
@Frank MacLeod
And with more warming comes more agriculture.
With more agriculture comes less hungry people.
I assume we all want less people to be hungry, so let's all pray for a warmer climate.
❤❤❤love you too baby 😮
Wow that ford is struggling just to pull the truck without the trailer 😕 so so sad
Wow. That’s just crazy!! Guess I’m glad I stayed home!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!!
Time to buy a Subaru or Audi with studded snow tires.
I'm a Landcruiser man myself.
Subarus don’t need stud nor snow tires.
@@KiyaWarrior The key is to own both. I've owned an FJ40, FJ60, and a FJ80, with the 80 definitely being the most capable. On road, a Subaru Outback is as good as the AWD Land Cruiser, possibly better. I also have an Impreza and have had a Legacy, but the higher clearance of the Outback is the best of the three. All of the Subarus and Land Cruisers are fantastic.
@@trishaleaver3581 Everything slides the same on ice. Having studs and good siped, soft compound snow tires will give grip on the ice. Even with the Subaru AWD, it's still critical to have the proper tires. A 2wd with snow tires will usually outperform a Subaru on summer tires. A Subaru on snow tires with studs is almost unstoppable except in deep drifts.
No point in having studded snow tires here. By the time you have them put on, it’s almost time to take them off again. 3 days of ice per year, most of the time.
I live in the Pacific Northwest and I'm just amused by the trucks shown in the snow and ice in the southern states. 80%-90% of them are 2wd trying to get around w/o snow tires even or traction devices. Forget it boys and girls stay home and safe. Sorry!
Does texas salt or treat their roads?
Salt won't work if the temperature is too low
Nope!
"PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE!! 🙋😊 👍❤👈"
Hope the state Handel's this ice storm better than the last one
Remember the year we had the Super Bowl in Dallas....LOL. What a blooming disaster with the ice!
like 10
now those are traffic jams with ice included
La voiture c'est la liberté
Enfin, presque
One thing most of them have in common, no chains...
The only smartest driver in the entire city is the driver in the red wrecker because he has chains and was prepared for this
Where are the salt trucks?
Would take too many to get it all done. And by the time they did finish, the ice is melted already. 2 or 3 days and it’s gone.
Can’t imagine the total chaos with so many morons that have no idea what to do on these roads. Had to be a nightmare. Thousands of transmissions destroyed every time this happens.
It's almost weird watching this from a place where several feet of snow are normal....
You said it snow not ice
None of this wintery precip is normal for Texas.
@@jt1364 Not true. You can easily search North TX ice storms historically and realize that, though it doesn't happen every year, it is common.
If you have ice storms, same thing happens. Ice is different and slipprier than snow. Salt clears up snow better than ice.
Ever been snow-skating?
From Canada... Is this a joke?
These are ELEVATED BRIDGES IN ICING CONDITIONS, people...bridges ice before regular roadways! Basic science. Stop driving as if you're crossing the desert...
Ship by rail 😊
