I-80 Slip and Slide

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- It might not look it but in this video I-80 was as slick as a banana peel. Blowing snow made visibility touch and go. Okay, after many comments of No Slip and Slide I have added a Link to part 2, Thank You Wyoming State Patrol. That is the conclusion to this video. If you have never lost traction in the middle of a busy dangerous highway It is scary. I just knew I was going to be run down. Thank God and the State trooper who stopped to help me out.
Watching this video, makes me thankful for all those truck drivers who sacrifice so we can buy food and goods at the store. Thanks guys!
gerais padilla your welcome!
You are so welcome
I agree.....OUR THANKS GO OUT TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.........PLEASE BE SAFE IN YOUR TRAVELS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL..👍👍👍
gerais padilla me to
gerais padilla your welcome
Also my advice to rookie drivers, get a CB.Your "trusty GPS" won't tell you about conditions ahead of you, its really helpful to communicate with other drivers.
Doc #FACTZ NOT TO MENTION WHERE SMOKEY HIDEN 😮STRYKERCB
should be mandentory to have an operating cb in every truck so you an communicate in emergency situations.
Yes you need a cb radio. Amigo tengas in cb radio. Iformation de carretea
Yes yes you do need a cb radio... To be informed road conditions. Necesitas. Uno cb radio. Informarte de la carretera. God bless
Wow this reminds me of my first two years driving . I drove for a little company out of Texas. I spent two and half winters driving and running I 80 Sacramento Portland and Trout dale, and Seattle puddle jumping out to Connecticut and Mass and Jersey. Hard years but I loved it. I learned a lot of lessons on those roads and in a truck with no jakes. Made Cabbage and Donner interesting.
Your nuts
I miss living in Wyoming, but I can't say I miss driving this stretch at all.
whatzhiznuts I haven't been out that way in over a year and I feel the same way. I-80 through there in the winter is TROUBLE.
I did this for 15 years out of Chicago, pulling doubles for CF. Started in 1978.
the 2 trucks in the hammer lane is a accident waiting to happening, barely any distance for the weather conditions
My uncle Eddie is a long distance truck driver, i commend all of you for doing this job! I would have been scared to death, that is for sure! Stay safe out there!
A little bit of snow is almost always much worse than several inches of the stuff.
this guys are what keeeeep america moving evenning though nobody care what truckers go thru but i use to drive from Chicago to Youngstown 2 or 3 times a weeek, there's a lot of working people on the road....... Thanks guys, keeeep up the goooooood work...... God blesssss us alllllllll.......
Ahhhhh Wyoming in the summer, beautiful state!
As a MM pin holder, I see a whole bunch of stupid drivers here. First is the flatbed hauling the pipe. He was too damn close to the truck in front of him. The Werner driver was going way too slow, that caused the truck behind him, in front of the tanker, to try to move into the other lane and caused the truck coming up on the left to hit his breaks.
I can honestly say, I do not miss that at all.
All of these idiots are complete retards! I have to put up with this shit nearly every day! Surrounded by fucktards is commonplace anymore! People who can`t even operate a four wheeler safely are NOW driving 40 ton trucks! WOW!
Del, I feel for you.
I stopped driving when regulations came in and dropped my pay by 2/3.
I could not deal with the ignorance out here now.
I do drive a 38ft. motor coach with a 24ft trailer but I drive when I want to and don't have to worry about time and miles.
Good luck out there Del.
He's right. They were all tailgating for this kind of weather conditions. I retired after 40 yrs. running across there. I dont miss it at all.
That looks like a typical day in Wyoming. 10 months of Winter, plus snow, never ending wind, and bitter subzero cold. That's one of the reasons why I moved to Florida...
Love Trucking Videos,had a Uncle in Idaho in Trucking,use to all ways tell me the crazy stories about Sgugly Lot lizards roaming the Lot.And the good food at Truck Stops.
Thank You BIG 18...every one of you deserve so much credit for the job you folks do for families across this country!
Lock in the power divider, go slow and keep safe distance.
What's the fastest you can go with divider on? Thanks
@@sweetness2689 that's a good question. The old trucks you could run them at any speed. I got a new 2020 pete. The computer kicks the power divider off at 35mph. Does anyone know why ??
Things probably have gotten better since they put in the variable speed limit signs. Keeps the hot-doggers slowed down.
Zaphod Breeblebrox They had those in the seventies. I used to pull up next to them (COE KW) and Benny and I would kinda, raise the limit.. Loved hearing some hand come along and remark about the eighty mph speed limit.
MackDaddy: Thanks for an awesome job and the wild ride in the blowing snow. Stay safe. Let's roll.🏞🚦👀🎧🎼🎶👍
damn that's messed up. Wyoming is a beast. even in May,it can be tricky on I-80.
Eric Haley 80% of pile-ups I've seen on RUclips are in the I-80. Wyoming is no joke.
I dont miss those neck of the woods lol, keep it safe out there driver....
Mike Radetskiy sometimes I do simply because I can't get west of the Mississippi to save my life. Except to Iowa. You do the same hand.
My dad was an owner/operator for over 45 years. The first time I went with him was to Wyoming, and it looked just like this but in 1975.
Ah Wyoming in the winter... I spent many a trip across this state like this...
This stretch of I80 between Laramie and Cheyenne, WY is notorious for white outs, icy conditions, and poor snow and ice treatments from the state. My hubby was the last truck off the road before they closed it after that terrible pile up in April of 2015. And there was another one a month ago. He drives this road all the time. I worry all the time too. Had his first accident in 20 years on Jan 7th, when a United Van lines driver tried to run him out of the passing lane. He saved the truck from more damage by heading over onto the shoulder. When the other guy realized what was happening, he jack knifed his truck and in the motions, clipped the left front and fender, and took out the side view mirror of our brand new 2019 Freightliner. Nobody was driving fast 35MPH. But we scrapped together the 2K to get it DOT legal again. Side mirrors and headlight and turn signal cams are not cheap. We will get the other minor damage fixed later when the insurance company gets their shit together. And he is driving up there again today, he said the snow was blowing across the road so bad, you could hardly see where the road was so he rode the rumble strip to make sure he was on the road until he finally said, screw this and got off the road.
I can tell you this he did the right thing. I made it through after I broke traction. The WSP saved my butt. Trooper had a shovel and used it to throw some dirt under my drives. That little bit got me going again. The lessons I took away from that keep a shovel in the truck and only drive out there with really good drive tires.
Thank you for sharing . Tell your Ole man to Keep on trucking.
@@mackdaddy1911a1 Today up on that daggone road, he was blown with a full load of softball sized onions at 78,000 pounds off the road out of the left hand lane, into the right hand lane and the shoulder, sliding a bit. Thank God that my dear Sugar Daddy has 35 years of experience. I read the post to him and he says to keep on trucking yourself....albeit with this last word.....safely. Love to you macdaddy
You guys have my respect. I drive a day cab in the southeast, if I had to drive in those conditions I would have to hang it up.
That weather went from palettable to down right dangerous!
Yo were very smart being prudent in your driving. Usually I say, I'll probably see you ( the people passing you) soon! I don't wish this on anyone. It just seems to happen that way.
that skateboard was following to close. Tail gating #1 cause of preventable accidents.
Thanks,good vid! Not been out that way myself. Chi to Green bay,Chi to Iowa mostly. Seen some weather though... Iowa back to Chi 11/21 was interesting. Tried to go 218 from Mt. Pleasant but had to re-route 5mi s of 92w (jacknife) Few plows and 30-50 mph wind. Glad I got the diff lock! Be safe!
+Joe van Edwin Thanks. I have heard variety is the spice of life. I disagree, Danger is the spice of life. I can not say I would ever want to live anywhere that the weather is like this but it will sure keep you awake. You stay safe out there and Happy Thanksgiving.
Black ice and tailgating don't mix. When I see ass holes following this closely I slow way down so when they crash I don't follow or get wrapped up in it
I see many drivers following two close in my opinion. Damn.
Got to say though that is some awesome country!
What a shit. I am a retired German trucker. Such weather conditions require a 6x4 or better 6x6 drive or a differential at least. I have had a similar situation 5 years ago in Finland north of the polar circle. I have had a student driver by my side ( 3 rd year ) . yto become a professional driver in Germany you have to learn three years. My assistent driver has sweated blood and water but it was a good experience for him. He is an excellent driver now and one can send him on the one lane roads of the Norwegian mountains.
Btw there are some excellent movies by NorgeChris and guusontour about driving unter winter conditions in Norway.
I have subscribed you.. A great video
Greetings from Germany, Paul
Thank you sir. I generally avoided weather like that, but the load has to go so I went. I have been side lined due to a speeding ticket . Maybe in the future, if I decide to go back to driving I'll put up some more Trucking across the USA. Take care of yourself and stay safe out there.
MACK
Druckluftbremse I used to work for a guy that hired "students". I liked to put them on the wormiest road of the trip. Just so they can learn.on bad road, they have to learn. Some of them were not sharp enough but got hired anyway. Hell I got an extra $350 to take a student plus you can make THEM drive. It's all they wanna do anyway.
Druckluftbremse Sehr danke.
Druckluftbremse Most vehicles here are not race cars
+Druckluftbremse what an excellent story Paul, I will look them up thank you.
Welcome to WY, this was a good day compared to most of the winter
I heard you guys got hammered with 100 inches of snow at higher altitudes this past week. I have drive through several of the bad blizzards (normal winter night in WY) in the past. -70 wind chill and the truck's engine didn't register above 100 degrees on the temperature gauge. Brand new Freightliner at the time. The temperature difference was so wide the doors warped and let a draft in on my left leg. Never had that problem in my MACK. Nearly froze my face off my first trip out there. Not my kind of weather. Y'all are some tough folks that is for damn sure.
Who the hell stops in the left/hammer lane, he is the reason there is pile ups...
this is do not miss one bit. pucker factor high when you feel trailer slipping or drive tires spinning.
Enrique Alvarado And your RPMs suddenly kick up. It's time to pull over somewhere.
No chain law that day. To many dry patches. I wish that I had them on though. That was embarrassing. Not to mention dangerous.
Think we used to call thisc 'Elk Mountain". Windiest spot on Earth. Actually had a head wind blow my windshield partway outta the molding. Papers reefer, reciepts, logs and permits ALL were flying around like a tornado was in the cab. Reefer was a total loss, making the trip a real pain in the ass. A fucking windmill every few hundred yards could power the Planet. I swear. Top of Sherman hill betwixt Cheyenne and Laramie is where God INVENTED wind.
Hahahhaha you're pretty much dead on.
eatenbytheweasel been in blizzard winds and temp so damned cold you ever see a freezer thats not frost free? thats what the inside of the truck looked like -60degreeze and shit happens.
They built a wind farm not far from there early on but the windmills all blew down. I don't recall if they gave up on that project or figured out a way to keep the windmills standing and the turbans from overheating. That happened decades ago...
God, I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore! 32 years of long haul was enough! Retired January 15 Bless all you drivers still out their!
I agree, I retired 2 years ago, and don't have to put up with these super truckers who think their special!!!
I'll be God damed, go to hell. I been there done that. I believe I seen the same Damn Prime truck, in the same damn place, & heard the same damn shit heads on the radio, & seen the same damn drivers over driving there trucks into what ever is in front of them that they can not see.
I'd hate to be stranded on this long stretch of highway.
me to. It wasn't as cold as I have seen it and it is better to drive in that crap during the day. At night that swirling snow reflects your headlights so badly.
good job driver.
To all truckers, I praise your dedication and the professional job you do. OUTSTANDING!!!! And from my fellow drivers that don’t know how dumbass they can be, sometimes, on the road, especially the brake checks, weaving, around you guys, I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE!!!!!!!
sure a lot of truck traffic going both directions on the interstate. I drove a flatbed semi for 30 years, glad I am out of it now.
MRDAYYUMYUM that day 80 was closed for hours due to the conditions. Absolute sheet of ice in places.
Yey for Wyoming!!!
That's definitely some ruff ass conditions to be in glad you made it out safe brother.
during the day at least you can see. At night in a blizzard with the head lights reflecting off the snow it is bad. Always gives me a headache after a couple of hours,
I spent 4 years running from Denver to Salt Lake across that road at night with a rocky set. Not a fun drive at all. I just moved to Phoenix a few months back and enjoy not being out in that anymore.
Thomas Pounds
ive learned to carry salt and or a box of cat litter with me for when this happens.. good job staying calm. Good video, stay warm and safe out there.
That elk mountain is a mother that's why I like to take that us30 out of larmine.
james nevitt ...Theres a safer route?..from salt lake through to go to denver?...my wife and I team and this drive in winter scares the hell her..thanks
There is really no other way accept across I-80 east out of salt lake city to 285 south in larmine or to take i25 south out of Cheyenne WY.
that's the only way I know the other way I know will take you through ship rock AZ and to I40 east and picking up i40 through AZ to nm then i25 in alberque nm that north bound but that's way out the way.
I have been off of work since July 4 I lost fingers on my right hand. I got to go through the skills performance evaluation program.
I figured there wasn't another way...would be nice tho..thanks
That wind is horrible!
Interstate 80 through Wyoming is one of the boringest drives in America. I drove my grandparents to Utah from Virginia in 1981 and I sure wish I would have taken I-70 instead.
this video makes me want to be a trucker even more.
didnt see any cars on the road, yur side anyway. hate to have to try driving a car there. good vid.
Damn, I am ready to go to school for this........sure hope they give me time to gain some experience before I have to confront this weather. I heard the pay gets better after your first year. Your company does not mind a camera on the dash?
Steve Ward the pay depends on the company. At the time I filmed this video I had my own truck. Never had a problem with the camera but now I use a GoPro mounted on the windshield with a suction cup mount. Good luck in school and after with your trainer. Maybe you'll get one who has been around the block more than twice.
God I hope so. Wondering if I should wait until spring. Last thing I wanna do is kill someone.
Steve Ward I recommend going and get out into it with a trainer. Otherwise you will be on your own your first winter. Learning to sling iron, "tire chains", by yourself sucks. Regardless slow and easy is the rule. Don't listen to those who think they are God's gift to trucking and can drive a hundred miles an hour in that crap. Good way to get splattered. Take care and good luck.
If you're wondering, then I suggest you find another line of work
The weather chooses you; not the other way around. You practice everyday for the next day.
fun times in Wyoming
Wyoming roads can bed a pain even on cloudless days with dry roads just from the slowing blowing in from the surrounding landscape.
I can only imagine when I finally become a long haul trucker how hard it will be driving through winter season I have experience driving in snow and icy conditions where I live it snows and winter can be nasty at times
Snow is not bad its that damn ice and hills. Wyoming has some very curvy, very long drawn out hills. I-80 is the main corridor between the east and west. If you need to get to the Midwest from California, Salt Lake City UT or central Idaho, and Oregon, you have to go through there so there are so many Trucks driving through there. You cant get stuck on one of those hills, another truck will come through and hit you. Many, many wrecks on I-80
Made this trip many times. It can be a bitch. I think one of the worst for me began on New Year's Eve of 2004. I picked up a load of air, nothing but abig ol' 53' empty box in Kansas City on wheels. My final destination was Tacoma. Getting through Lincoln was insanity. I spent almost as much time traveling sideways as I did going straight ahead. Just outside Lincoln I found a plowed ramp and spent the night. The next day I somehow made to to over to Cheyenne. That's when the real fun began. The climb over the hill to Laramie had me crapping my pants. Couldn't see shit. Total whiteout. Snow. Ice. Shit. Trucks were all over the road. Many were way, way off the road. It was insanity. At Laramie I meet up friends at the Pilot. We had no choice to chill out. I-80 was shutdown. Two day later it was re-opened and off we went. I dragged that empty box over Elk Mountain. Wasn't bad if you don't mind having to constantly fight to keep the trailer in the rear. Damn thing kept want to switch ends with the tractor. Oh, the adventures of over the road. Hours of utter boredom, followed by even more boredom, and then things get exciting. Is it worth it?
Thank you truck drivers for all your hard work...be careful out there.
Werner in bad weather ???? Werner driving truck period. CL WERNER scratching his head. CL WERNER thinking what the sons have screwed up.
I always try to avoid that area in the winter time I only drive through there in the summertime but the winds are very high at some points
Between Laramie and Sinclair westbound?
18 wheeler running roadblocks, the curse of I 80 !
Deadline or no deadline, this is the time to pull over and stop!!
I suggest to not go through Wyoming for about 9 months out of the year lol., it's always like this the fresh powder and constant winds never seem to calm down even in summer time you get high wind warnings. It's ridiculous. This where he's stuck looks like elk mountain area.there is always wrecks here always. I use to run through here 4 times per week for 3 years... What a nightmare
+Minel Fazlic I'll admit, I'm somewhat of an idiot, but I do live in Canada. BUT, I love driving in this kind of weather. I've never fallen asleep or nodded off when I'm in this soup, but I sure can nod off from time to time when the trip of without things to "entertain the brain".
+Minel Fazlic Then, three or four days later when it was all cleared up, this happened ... caused by fog. Notice the Fed-Ex truck in this AS WELL AS in the video. DEADLINES CREATE TOO MUCH SPEED!!!!!!! www.google.ca/search?q=photo+of+pileup+on+I-80+Wyoming+fire&espv=2&biw=1670&bih=941&tbm=isch&imgil=zzKJ0bhhD0fwxM%253A%253BFkv3_U4sQvzsZM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.thedenverchannel.com%25252Ftraffic%25252F21-40-vehicles-involved-in-deadly-se-wyoming-pileup-i-80-closed-due-to-hazardous-material-burning04202015&source=iu&pf=m&fir=zzKJ0bhhD0fwxM%253A%252CFkv3_U4sQvzsZM%252C_&usg=__iCtJ_dsG7R0_K6KWFNQEGJhZoXo%3D&ved=0CDMQyjdqFQoTCPy8j_WizccCFUKsHgod_KUCRg&ei=mRzhVbyMGcLYevzLirAE#imgrc=zzKJ0bhhD0fwxM%3A&usg=__iCtJ_dsG7R0_K6KWFNQEGJhZoXo%3D
getdusty1 it's funny because I am the same way I find joy driving in bad conditions I love rain. And when it's snowing it's peaceful and gets you focused unlike the scorching ass heat burning your eyes.
getdusty1 I was there when the pileup happen I was shutdown in Laramie because of the accident luckily I stayed and didn't go until traffic backed up or else I would have be shit out of luck. Wyoming is weird over all. I have a lot of stories through Wyoming I have a lot of Wyoming driving experience lol. Hated every day after the storm
A lot of accidents happen when people follow too closely, since they passed turn right on red in the state of NORTH carolina people pull out in front of you just as you get up on them and over half the time they drive really slow. Peoples stupidity cause a lot of accidents. Years back they drove normal and respected other drivers, now it looks like their brain just isn't working. I'm talking about us car drivers. But people's driving is a whole lot different now.
Hard way to make a dollar ain't it???
Bigdog Bulldog Yelp makes me wanna start brokering and stoped driving.
Nice job keeping your safety distance
This sort of reminds me of driving across Interstate-80.
Yep,yep, been on that road in that weather pulling doubles. Lets also mention the snow squalls that blow up and you can't see past your hood, sometimes you can't see the hood!!
Far to many ppl driving that do not have a clue how to drive in winter much less Wyoming winter. If you don't know how to or are scared to drive in snow,,ice & wind park until the storm passes or get a motel room plz
Lorraine Lewallen
I drove many times but what I was afraid of was high wind in a light trailer. If I was 35k or less, I never wanted to risk it for fear of blowing over and getting fined.
Yeah, but if your going to park up every time there is Snow, Ice or high Winds then your cargo would never get to its destination and you would never get the experience of driving in these conditions. Don,t park up....keep moving slowly and surely.
Next to the 401, this I-80 must be about the most treacherous road to travel.
getdusty1 Oh no. There are roads in the west that'll blow your fucking mind. Like Lolo pass up on US 12.Wolf Creek pass on 160 in Colorado. The 666 is a mind bender and it'll wear ya out swinging the wheel from one side to the other. Good old Donner on 80 is an adventure till you get to know it. back around 1980 they put signs up telling you when to turn it on and where to brake. I usually just turn it loose and chase the drywall guys.It's all the same only different.
LOL pass all them guys and then get stuck on bare blacktop! Now that's embarasing.
I've driven on worse roads. I-90 through Montana the end of December of last year, 2017, and the beginning of January this year, I was driving in ice and snow, it was like they didn't treat the roads at all, it was scary, my max speed through the was like 40, most of the time I was only doing like 30, max. I didn't feel safe driving through there but the company I was driving for kept pushing me, needless to say, I don't drive for them anymore.
I totally understand how you felt. Both on Arkansas and S. Carolina I have driven on completely iced over untreated roads. Handled it the same way SLOWLY. Made it ok but wasn't to damn happy. Stay safe out there and do what is right not what the idiots behind computers want.
man lot of trucks on the road all greatstuff we see how others work
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MEMORYSTAR)
I80 is hell in winter
I do NOT miss it that is for sure. Local now a days and Georgia winters are not bad most of the time.
Nice nice video 👍👌☺️
Wyoming can be the best or worse place to drive thru,depending on the time of year,I've driven that corridor many of times pulling rvs and I'll tell you what,you have more truckers that shouldn't be driving more than anyone else on the road,the problem is you have these cowboy drivers who wanna go 70-75 mph in these conditions and Those are the guys you see in the ditch down the road ..on slick roads you shouldn't be doing over 45 mph ,if you are it's only a matter of time before your number is up
I drove through MN & WI in an ice storm it took me 13 hours to go 220 miles. I was never so wide awake and focused on my driving in my life. And the thing is I had to do it.
I only know of one thing a person has to do.
Looks cold!
I don't see any real issues here it's Wyoming in the winter. Pavement looks fairly dry and only a few icy spots. It's a good road. I ran west from WI for many years. A little blowing snow is nothing for Wyoming
Dude I'm from south east Georgia. It snowed one time when I was growing up. Wisconsin gets snow all winter every year. Normal for you Not so normal for me. Thanks for watching. Be safe.
Yea road looks good to an me (x wyoming resident.) But some of these dont kno how bad it can get. Thts scary
Good job driver. You did all you could possibly do.
from now own stay in the right lane
That was exciting......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
well not a truck driver...but conditions in wyoming colorado and usa in general needs great drivers...yeah in the bunch there's always some craze but the great majority of drivers i see got guts...driving around in that extreme conditions......it' s easy to say you should do this or do that.....my respects to you midnite drivers (steely dan)
I respect truck drivers
didnt see any cars on the road, yur side anyway until end of vid, hate to have to try driving a car there.
Wind conditions in wyoming are no joke it can get very dangerous driving a truck in.
That blowing snow!
l\ yes it is. 65 mph winds.
he doing a great 38.9 MPH. safe. (clocked mile markers)
where do i fast forward to to see the action?
k found it
aww comon, you don't know what the Dempster highway is like in Yukon Canada, wind speeds on Hurricane Alley on Dempster highway can reach speeds up to 130 kph about 80 mph
on 0:36 , to close !!!!! danger ! driver stupido !
Thanks guys
We're you stuck or broken down at the end of the video? Crazy day on I-80, one endless convoy in both directions.
no place for man or beast
Recommended
hey Russ he slowed way down cause traffic stopped in front of him and it's so slick he can't get going.
turn those wipers off.....
Come drive through VT in the middle of a snow storm. Its intense.
I will pass if possible. Hell it may make for a good story for the grandkids but not much fun to drive in. Glad I live in the south. Not much to deal with.
@@mackdaddy1911a1 the older I get, and the more liberal this state gets, the MORE I want to move. The taxes are outrageous as well.
I noticed that Werner truck had his 4way flashers on? Thats illegal if yer moving,
Maybe but it is prudent and every driver does it. Me included. The visibility was touch and go and the extra light produced is helpful to see the vehicles around you.
He could have been a new driver. Or, he may have decided that if the truck slid off the road, down the mountain, the blinkers would already be on. Be prepared. Yahoo. ^_^
Cowboy Kody ..actually in Wyoming it is permitted, and most states it is permitted if there are hazardous conditions .
But Werner is a hazard.
The only state that I know of that ever has made an issue out of running with hazard lights on has been California.
I wonder how much power would be required per mile to keep it a couple degrees above freezing when wet or snowing just using a heating element under the road.
I have wondered the same thing. Thanks for watching.
When it blows like that, I think wind driven turbines to power the pavement heater. But the pavement heater device must be resilient to the constant pounding of the pavement by equipment rolling over it. That is the problem with electrical solutions, the weakest point is the junction points.
OptimisticPessimist i did 30 winters and 30 summers fall and spring drove straight through a damned funnel cloud and 400 miles each night on high quality olympic ice and fog lets not go there you either got it or you dont there are so many that dont and the ones that do are abused at everyturn especially winter especially if the idiot who goes fishin with the boss wants bad wintery days off, you on the other hand all the accidents you never had all the money said company never had to pay all the days you never took off all of that dont mean shit, chew on that for a newyork minute.
oh got off point well bust my grits an pull the corncobb out my plastic womens ass, yep i also thought they could put a cover a cheep but sturdy one over the boulevard but it would be spendy because your schneiders jb&themonkeys and weanerwagons and swift crst ect.........would proubly tear em up oh i did receive one partly used condem for 30 yrs without accidents or citations so that will keep the wooly side up.
All they need to do is heat it to 33 degrees! But it has got to be deep because the chains & tire skids would tear it apart.
Lockers? I ran cattle, pigs, and sheep through there. We DON'T stop. Well worth checking the full lockers option box. 8 drives turning, fixes everything but stupid. Aint no fix for that.
Copy that.
I was over there one time never come back no matter what
Elk Mtn, the best place for rollovers
This was one of those times I could have stayed home and been OK with it.
Jeff Catey Nah, Chiriaco summit. Sometimes those Santa Anna winds smack outta the south, warning lights and all flashing and stopping certain loads. My first time over it was pulling a dry box with a light cubed out load and the damned trailer was in the left lane really leaning and I'm in the right lane.That first time scared the bejeezuz outta me.Fer the life o'me I don't know WHY I do this. It's what I know.
Yep
Or a jackknife.
One time over there and I quit Trucking
One time, driving through South Dakota and Montana, I was driving my 2005 GMC Sierra half ton extended cab with my roughly 900 pound pop up camper on the back in the winter time, Visibility was literally zero, especially when following another vehicle just because of the snow they were kicking up let alone all of the powder snow falling from the sky. If you think the visibility in this video is bad imagine 10x worse. It was literally so bad you couldn't see another vehicle 20 feet in front of you, it was just all a white blur. Well, I was hauling pushing 90 MPH at times (Not a great idea) I believe the speed limit was 70 MPH or something on this 2 lane road. It was so blinding that after just a couple minutes of watching the road and when I looked back at the dash everything was this wavey blur. Basically the same thing that happens when you do an optical illusion like this one, ruclips.net/video/Z0aLjw52ip4/видео.html So anyway, I'm going down the road and I'm about to get into this little town (Not that I could see it anyway) and then all of a sudden my radar detector just goes crazy and I'm like that's great, out of the white blizzard there's a cop sitting in the oncoming lane ahead of me with his lights on and I'm like well this sucks. I think he only got me for like 75- or so in a 70 so he let me off with a warning, which was very kind of him.
But you see, the reason I was in a 'hurry' was I was trying to get from Paducha Kentucky to Butte Montana in 2 days, which is roughly a 24 hour straight drive, so I was having to push 13-ish hours a day after stopping and stuff (Supplemented by my speeding, of course) which made for pretty long days. And I didn't want to drive in this snow storm at night time because that's even worse but if I did the 'safe' speed for the conditions that would have made me drive at night, and I also didn't want to pull over for the night when it got dark because by that point I'd have been only a couple 2 or 3 hours from home. So, that was my logic as to why it was better to speed during the day time to get to my destination, although, it's obviously never advised. It was also very cold outside, I mean like -10 to -25 degrees so I wasn't sleeping in my camper and I'm not paying for a dumb hotel, and I'm not turning my truck off unless it's to get gas, because it may not start again lol. But anyway, yeah this video looked like cake to drive in, minus the black ice of course, that's never cake. Glad it worked out well for you.
I miss my truck.
