  • I got my wrecker stuck! I guess I jinxed myself when I said I never had to chain up my outside tires after installing the @onspotnorthamerica22 automatic tire chains..
    We headed up the mountain during a blizzard to winch out a couple of stuck trucks. The first one was a loaded set of doubles spun out and slid into the snow bank. I had to winch, move forward, winch again, and repeat a for about a hundred yards and the @zackliftinternational4841 never hesitated! I finally got to the point where I would drag him up the mountain with the two trucks. After that we headed down to get another set of doubles, and being empty I thought I would just be able to drag him without winching. That was a huge mistake and caused me to slide to the inside of the turn and get stuck as well. I had Ethan try to pull me out, but he got stuck as well.
    ODOT stopped bu in their Autocar plow truck and were able to pull me out with my @YankumRopes, then I was able to get back to work and pull both trucks out.

    The UPS folks you were dealing with over the phone are typical of folks in an office that are trying to meet time constraints and don't care about the conditions out on the road. I have worked with folks like that and they are arrogant and demanding and are thinking only of themselves. Good on the UPS driver for being careful and helpful. Having Ethan helping out in many ways and with the camera has truly enhanced this channel.

    Perfect example of why the old school halogen warning lights work for you. Halogen bulbs build heat in the housings and help keep the lenses clear of snow. LED's don't build as much heat and tend to get covered while operating. Great job on the tow's

LED's are great but not in winter conditions with lots of road spray of all sorts.

      @simpledj509chromo7 4 месяца назад +2

      They're too light on the drive axles (or axle) with enough weight behind them to make it really easy to spin. I used to haul wood chips, sawdust, and construction demo in 53 foot possum belly chip trailers at 105,500. We're allowed 42,500 pounds on the drives and drop axle combined. But when the weather gets bad that drop axle comes up and disperses almost 10,000 pounds of weight to the steer and drives. 15 thousand on a steer and 38-40 thousand on drives makes for great traction.

    I worked for WSDOT on White Pass in the 80’s we tested on spot chains on one of our plow trucks. They were a help but for what we were doing regular chains were better. I noticed the ODOT truck that gave you a pull had German chains on. The nice thing about them is you are always on chain due to the diamond pattern. They are also case hardened so they last a lot longer. You can wear halfway through the links then turn them over and use the other side. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

    Nicely done Casey. It just shows that things don’t always go according to plan and you have to adapt to the new situation. Heavy snow like that standard tire chains are better. Kudos to the drivers you pulled out. To chain before being told to (although they got stuck) knowing they typically struggle to make the pass.

    Holy heck those conditions seem super gnarly! I've been in some serious blizzard conditions here in Finland, but nothing like that. Seems the weather is just below freezing, since the snow seems to be sticking to every and all surfaces.
    That's when the snow and/or ice is the most slippery. Minus 2C (28F) is way way, way more slippery than say minus 10C (14F). And at least in the mid/southern parts of Fin there is not even CLOSE to those kinds of elevation changes.
    Even if your visibility is zilch from the snowfall, and the highway has so much snow that here and there it blows over your hood and windscreen, I'd take that in -10C anyday over less snow and -2C. Even if our law requires winter tires on the winter months and every sensible person uses them.
    Damn your content is interesting to watch, thank you! Keep it up Casey!

      They nickname the snow "Cascade Concrete". It will come down sopping wet, and then when the storm is over it will drop to a deep freeze. It is in between snow and ice. Even with a metal blade plow, they can't get it off the roads.

      @@robertrosicki9290 When people move here from the upper plains, there are plenty of them who have more confidence than brains.
      We have two significant differences: 1) Something called hills. On the ice when it is flat isn't the same as trying to go up a hill, only to lose it and slide backwards with little control. 2) We don't get deep freezes. We get wet snow and ice. And the absolute worst - we'll get rain over ice. When everything is covered in ice with a layer of water on top, all texture of the ice goes away and it is absolutely smooth. Any salt goes away. You can't even stand up.
      I've known many over the years who are mouthy about how the locals "don't know how to drive in the snow" to only have them quite humble after their over-confidence results in an expensive bad experience.
