Simple solution to for keeping your windshield wipers from icing up, put your defroster on, heat all the way, and air flow all the way. Crack your window (on both sides if needed) to circulate cool air so you don’t get too hot. Be safe!!
Driving through snow just makes you a better driver cause you have to learn what speed works to give you the best traction. I’ve driven through 100s of snow storms in my life time and having snow tires and patience is the key to safety. ❤️U❤️
FYI put a little bit of rubbing alcohol in your wiper washer fluid container so it won't freeze in that weather. You will have to replace the wiper later on, but it helps you when you most need it.
Don't feel bad nia I've been doing this for 34 years. I still am nervous on the first snow of the year. I just don't know how drivers are gonna drive. And you just gotta be cautious. So you're doing the right thing. I mean, just take your time if they don't like it. Let him go around you. Chances are if it's bad enough. You'll be impassing them in the ditch somewhere.
There's no excuse for these high speed multi vehicles pile up, seems to be all these 70 mph state's on the news, you hardly ever see that in Massachusetts at 65 speed limits
When you come out the door of a rest area, look behind the door as well as you are walking out. A lot of assaults happen at rest areas. Truck stops too. I was OTR for 5 years and heard about the stories.
What a happy pup! Got to play on a beach and now play in the snow. Rubbing alcohol and a rag, out it on your wipers and pour some in your washer reservoir. Also if you can find the wipers that are covered with a rubber cover instead of the regular ones, they don’t build up as much ice
As far as with the wipers, use the 3 ft ice scrapper to knock that stuff off and I'd use a tornado road king fan to direct heat where you want to via windshield. Stay safe.
Snow doesn't bother me, all the other people driving in it does 😂. Get some snow wipers so you don't have to keep getting out and cleaning them off. Stay safe and see you in the next one ❤️💯🤙
You're the best, always attentive to how much you care about your best friend. Stay safe in that weather, and consider getting winter boots to walk safely. You are the best, and you look great!
Sometimes the yard guy when they park the trailers they will set the trailer down and pull out before the suspension is all the way deflated, try hooking up to your trailer, hook up the airlines and then release the trailer brakes and wait for the suspension to air up, that usually will take a lot of or all of the tension off the landing gear.
FYI….. the secret for the 579’s get yourself a set of heated wipers. If not then go with a 24” wiper blade on the drivers side and a 22” on the passenger side. That will help with the last 2’s from freezing. Keep that windshield pretty warm has well. Good luck safe travels 😎
My son and his family live in Abilene, Kansas. They said that they got alot of snow, enough to go Sledding. Pom was filling his cheerios, playing in the snow. These types of random Vlogs are fun to watch. Stay safe out Nia. Peace ✌ and Love Girl ❤.
YESS Vlogmas babyy!! Let's goo! Cannot wait to watch all this content Nia!! Alsoo don't be super weird peeps don't go knocking on her truck if you see it, Especially at night when sleeping Truckers need the uninterrupted rest
Can you show us your GoPro equipment/accessories you have and how you have your mounts set up to hold the cameras. Your content and editing is really good, and you inspired me to finally buy a GoPro.
These are the videos I love to watch. An insight into your day to day, hour to hour life on the road. The coffee runs, the dog walking, and when you go shopping. Plus more Pom Pom. ❤❤
Hi- I was watching your last video. You said your wipers were freezing up. They make winter wiper blades. I liked the ones that had like a rubber boot around them. It prevented the wiper from freezing. A number of companies make them. Google winter wiper blades. Also I used either Prestone or Rain X, winter washer fluid. It is made to melt the ice and also coats the windshield. I had success with that down to -50 F. When the weather is nice, change the blades back and use standard washer fluid. Or just leave it all. Be safe. We enjoy your videos. Thanks.
This is the clearest I’ve seen you on your video’s and I really approve of your look hair pulled back in to a beautiful ponytail o momma💜stay safe and safe travels
I saw one of your videos while you were cleaning your cabin. 1) Your cabin is bigger than studio apartment I use to live in while going to school. 2) You are really very clean lady. I would only clean my cabin twice a year. Just want to say, drive safe, God bless you
Enjoy the videos, You should be recognized , lot more winter to come shut down when you need to and be safe . If you stay in the snow the pup will love it . ✌🏽
I know this vid is a few weeks old but I just wanted to that the Prime Drivers aren’t the ones that super extend the landing gear on the trailers, it’s the yard jockeys that do it not the drivers. I have a low profile fifth wheel and I’ve dropped a trailer and came back after it was loaded and noticed the landing gear was madd extended. And trust, no one touched my trailer but the yard jockeys.
In my truck I can raise the fifth wheel, as well as lower, I’m a company driver for Tyson, I’ve thought about doing like you, and getting my own truck but the economy scared me off, next best thing is watching someone else live there dreams, very impressive
Hi Nia good afternoon I hope your Friday is going awesome love your vlog. my beautiful Nia don’t forget to go buy some Timberland boots put a winter I don’t want you to fall when it snowing outside.
Hi Nia, I'm in Winnipeg Canada above North Dakota where we get nasty weather. We get slip on cleats for our shoes or boots up here. We get them at safety clothing, footwear stores. Maybe you can google them down where you are. Here's something that myself and other drivers I work with laughed our asses off at when our office told us this a few years ago. When it's real slippery and you don't have proper footwear, walk duck footed. Believe it or not, it works. Maybe other viewers of yours have heard of it. I hope this helps as you can get hurt quite bad when you slip. I've hurt my back a few times on ice. Be safe on the roads and take your time in bad weather. Good luck with everything.
Billy big riggers gotta show off how awfully strong they are and put the landing gear all the way into the ground. Congratulations Lou Ferrigno you did it!
RRNia, why not invest in a hand-held hair dryer of sorts(batterie operated), with a good amount of heat. Then you may keep your hands warm and connections like the air hoses you were hammering. For your persistent sniffles try some Vicks NyQuil or BC Headache powder only when you turn in. In the case of the Vicks it'll put you to sleep at the wheel. Well Happy travels, you and Pom stay warm and safe in that 'Pete'.😊
Put the vent control to defrost only on high heat to keep the windshield hot, and wear insulated boots to help keep your feet warm. When the ice builds up on your wipers, you have to stop and knock it off or roll your window down and time it just right and hit the wiper with a tire thumper or just stay far enough south:)
Keep your front defrost on max so the windshield stays hot and it’ll melt it better, crack a window so you don’t burn up, I’d also rain x or ceramic coat the windows so the snow and water roll off so you are using the wipers less. Hope this helps!
To stop ice buildup put some 70%-90% Alcohol put in your reservoir. Mix it with your windshield washer fluid. Then get you a spray bottle with half of windshield washer and the other half with alcohol. You spray this on your wiper’s to stop the ice buildup. Stay safe. You heard!!! Keep the rubber right side down. See you on the back hail
The wiper blades use rubbing alcohol, the connections to the trailer you had to use the mallet on some other truckers talk about using WD40 when it is snowing or cold in general, you should be wearing a cap.
Helpful advice always call them when you get the load info and see what the drop dead time is then you can plan ahead that goes for cargill and national I use to load cargill regularly saves you from wasting time driving around there is also a casino there to park at regardless of if you gamble or not it’s better than the loves hope this helps
New here love the videos so inspirational I’m sure you can bye windshield solution that’s anti freeze or wipe them with anti freeze Iike what they use for the airplanes? Anyways god bless always and so excited for the upcoming content
16:44 you need -30 de-icer and put your heat on your windshield that’s all you can really do. Stop here and there to thump them on the windshield to break the ice 🧊
I cant help but love your tattoos but besides that i got to give a shout out to women like you because the biggest thing i noticed a lot more women comin into the trucking industry and thats good it shows the others they can do any job a man can do keep up the vids an good work cause were part of a big machine moving America hope to see ya on the road be safe driver.
Cargill " needs to do better", ha ha...i have done 34 hour resets there. National Beef is worse. I ran Dodge City to hunts point meat market in the bronx for 2 years every week. Just be patient.. BTW the yard jockeys mess with the trailers' landing gears, too. They lift their fifth wheel up and then extend the landing gear. It gets aggravating. Drive safe, be careful.
The yard crew does that so is easier for the warehouse crew to load the trailers and not damage the boxes on the top of each pallet. Watched this at a group of grocery warehouses. 😊
During The Winter No Matter What Part Of The Country You're In Always Check Rd & Weather Conditions Before Heading Out You Rather Be Safe Than Sorry & Get You A Good Pair Of Winter Shoes So You Won't Bust Your Behind. Be Safe Out There
From a driver since '89' 3 wntr tips, don't trvl in packs when slick or any other time, lve an out. The higher the gear the less wheel spin. Don't use defroster unless foged up, it only melts snow hitting wndshld u get ice, keep wndshld cold use the htr, like what u do, keep on trking😊.

What speed would you recommend when it starts cause I was doing 55 today

This is golden advice I was having trouble with that this past month
Your personality in this video is the best you ever done . Cracking jokes and the sarcasm is tooo funnyyy

We carry lysol with us and spray everything before touching when using the shower, bathroom facilities! People are gross 😝
For the wipers you gotta keep the defrost on blast max heat
Can you show us your GoPro equipment/accessories you have and how you have your mounts set up to hold the cameras. Your content and editing is really good, and you inspired me to finally buy a GoPro.
For your windshield, put both sun visors down put defrost on, will help. Plus use washer fluid that will work for deicing.
The visors will help keep the heat from defrost on windshield
They make wipers for winter driving that don't build up ice.😊
You defiantly are getting more comfortable vlogging. Your cute personality is really starting to come out. Keep it going Gal
Happy holidays Nia be carful driving on those winter snowy road's with 18 wheeler & have wonderful rest of weekend.

well done on snow driving! fyi, I often park at walmart as well where i can shop and clean myself in their rest rooms especially one at back of shop.
In my truck I can raise the fifth wheel, as well as lower, I’m a company driver for Tyson, I’ve thought about doing like you, and getting my own truck but the economy scared me off, next best thing is watching someone else live there dreams, very impressive

I love your vlogs. Stay safe and keep keeping us updated. YOU ROCK!
When ever there is snow I always get a cheese danish to go along with my black coffee, the best. Cheers !
Queen Nia ❤️ Be safe driving

Amazing video, be safe out there. Hope you feel better
Love your videos! Your so fun
I delivered in Olathe and shutdown in Emporia headed to Amarillo. Lots of rain and gusty last night. Winter driving is upon us 😅 Stay safe out 🚛💨🙏
❤ ❤❤please feel better both of you really appreciate you and your videos
Be safe as always girl

Thanks for sharing Nia, enjoyed it! If I may get you a beanie and keep your head warm in that cold weather.
Love the Christmas music 🎶🎶
You’re awesome!❤
I love watching your trucking videos on your RUclips channel
Good video and thanks for sharing! Remember: "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast". Be safe in the snow!
Thank you for the video and wish you safe trips
Love your videos stay safe out there.
Having a couple chocks to help slide tandems in winter time always helps.
Lock your service brake on trl when sliding tandems
Stay safe out there nice 🎥 keep the video going love to see them when they come out
the purple windshield washer fluid at Loves or Pilot truck stops. it will stop ice on wipers too. rain X washer fluid is good too.💧⛄💧🚫🚚🚛
No thanks. Not a real person 😎🤡😤😡😠
Happy Holidays 😊
Thank you for vlog1 and the time it take to edit
Keep on truck’in and safe driving
Put the vent control to defrost only on high heat to keep the windshield hot, and wear insulated boots to help keep your feet warm. When the ice builds up on your wipers, you have to stop and knock it off or roll your window down and time it just right and hit the wiper with a tire thumper or just stay far enough south:)
Use a ice scraper and not a tire thumper to lift wiper blades as it reached end of up stroke
Bob Tailing and Snow Just Don’t Mix Well, Stay Safe!!!
I'll keep that in mind if I need to head home. The snow white Christmas is here.
I drink the same kind monster its pretty good. Always drinking the 0 sugar, the black/ green one is good too.
Great video. I’ve been lucky not to have to drive any snow yet this season, but I’m sure it’ll happen soon. Stay safe driver.
I love your videos I think you do a good job and I'm happy for you.
To prevent ice build up on your wipers, keep your windshield cold. Keep the defrost off.
I got caught in snow up in Erie, pa and it was a mess be safe out there and try the c4 if you get a chance!
Keep your front defrost on max so the windshield stays hot and it’ll melt it better, crack a window so you don’t burn up, I’d also rain x or ceramic coat the windows so the snow and water roll off so you are using the wipers less. Hope this helps!
Merry Vlogmas!😁
I love this❤
Can the landing gear be cranked with a drill? I love your videos I've always liked the idea of driving trucks. It's like being the captain of a ship 😅
Stay motivated and safe gorgeous
you be safe out there young lady..

Always keep empty water bottles on your truck for washing purposes,and have a coffie pot for hot water
