    My Dad was a truck driver for 37 years. When I was a kid in the early 90s I went through this every winter vacation with him, and to me itwas just riding in the truck. Zero fear. Now, as an adult I wonder what went thru his mind as we always hit roads like this in an OLD Freightliner with some super dim headlights compared to today. But myself, and MILLIONS have all done it. Which makes me fear it at the same time and respect it. This is a boss vlog, stay safe out there!! Appreciate you!

    Great Video TB Tell them Drive Safe. If it's Me and the Road I'm good, If it's Me and the Road and a 4 wheeler, I'm concerned, There's roads like this in N Y. Your volume seemed a little low. With the new electronics the drives disengage when they denote slippage. Old days your slipping it was direct you didn't back out you were going to be doing more than slipping. Down side you happen to get stuck in dock or other scenario you have problem rocking yourself free. You should try 12 from Missoula to Lewiston ID on 12 it's scenic also, It was first place I had to chain up, I only had single axle at the time.
    Keep up the good work your video is great.

    Trucker brown, I am not a trucker but I drive my pickup for work through Utah, Idaho, nevada, Oregon, etc. over time I have built up some supplies I recommend you acquire for safety. A ham radio, pre program with emergency frequencies you need for your areas. A Garmin gps that does not need service to work or communicate. Satellite gps with call and text capabilities. An extensive first aid and trauma kit, for yourself or other wrecks you may come across out there.. quick clot gauze, tourniquets, any and all tools you need for repairs. A weeks worth of food and water. Start there if you don’t already do these things. Bless you brother safe travels

    Haven’t been on highway 12 in Montana but been on highway 287 & highway 93. Saw some Rams outside Kalispell but didn’t get close to the truck. Definitely got a lot of wildlife out there. I think Montana & Wyoming are the “last frontier” states in my opinion.

    I'm from Montana and you did a great job, I thought when you where dropping down into that fog it was going to freeze your window up it has happened to me quite a few times. When the wind is blowing like that you really got to be careful of snow drifts they will build up on the road really fast and suck you right into the ditch. I really don't think you could of done anything differently on that type of road.

  • @brodesson
    @brodesson 4 года назад

    TB I live south of MT and you are TOTALLY right it is a beautiful bit of land.
    However that icy road is not the worst. There is a condition called "black ice", that condition just looks like it is just wet but NO IT IS NOT! It is pure ice! Snowy roads are bad but there is worse conditions out there.
    Edits: 1. The coldest days are usually the clear ones. 2. Bears are hibernating at this time of year... What you have to worry about is cougar and wolves. 3. I don't know what the rules are elsewhere but in Idaho the speed limit when your encountering bad weather is "go at the speed YOU deem safe..." You kept saying your slipping and sliding was too fast...

    Hey TB. I like watching your vids, I was watching before I got my CDL. I find your vids to be educational and inspirational! However I fail to see the value in this video, other than proving yourself to be a bad ass trucker. You were risking your truck, Wilson's trailer, and a customer's freight. It's bad enough there are wrecks every day that causes insurance claims to be filed for lost freight. I would say, you put yourself, equipment and freight in a very high risk situation for absolutely no reason, most of that video was in the dark, so you were not enjoying the scenery all that much. Be careful dude, also be careful you don't entice new drivers to do something that risky.

    • @kailuke768
      @kailuke768 4 года назад

      I think that the video's value is in what he was saying as he drove along. TB has long said that you should only do what works for you, but that he runs in the mountains and snow when his loads require it of him. He wasn't saying that anyone else should. He was showing what happened during what happened during a small portion of a trip and discussed what and how he drove his truck during it.
