All you anti-Jake Brakers need to understand that using the retarder in those conditions needs the same careful consideration as any other decision you make. Which gear, what engine rpm and so on. You can screw your self just as easily with the Jakes off as you can with them on.
Absolutely correct!! Jakes are there to be used. A skilled driver knows how to use Jakes and brakes and all other tools at his disposal in the proper proportions/settings for the particular situation. The best and most effective method for getting yourself out of shit is to not let yourself get into it in the first place. Don't be in a hurry - take a few extra minutes to get down the hill in one piece and shiny side up.
@@theglitch99 most automatic transmission cars have a "tiptronic" or "manual" mode where you can select a gear... I'm from a snowy area so once I bought my first manual transmission, I haven't had another automatic since... way more control.
Slap some "triple rail steel" on those drivers and a good "single" on one steer and drive her on out! You gotta have steel on the ground in the winter snow on that hill! Happy Trails!!!
Moral of the story. Sometimes it's quicker to stop at that cafe at the bottom of the grade for a slice of hot apple pie alamode with cinnamon sause, giving time for the road crews to do their magic.
Pulling Triples up this type of Grade ,with that much weight on a poorly plowed road an no salt or sand on it, you are asking for trouble. When I used to pull Doubles on the I-90 in the winter I used to have change my boxer shorts every 100 miles.
I love this. Hauling in treacherous conditions is the best, I pretend I have a whole town waiting for me to bring food and it makes the ride much less stressful.
Drive down with a crack open side door...getting out before the truck goes free on its own...aint savin those wheels when they break traction...I wouldnt drive that more than 5 mph
@@danielfish101 that's why you're a shitty driver in the snow. If you're at the top of a hill and you start going down and you realize that it's too slick you'll slide all the way down. But if you're at the bottom of Hill and you start to go up and realize you can't make it you can just back down and go a different way.
What was the paint of that flagger if he clearly wasn't even controlling traffic? You could've easily ran into that pickup if you were seconds earlier.
Don’t know why but the saying goes if I remember 2 sets of triples, steer chain, drag chain Get in hold on we are going for a ride a little spin up the hill o ya and don’t fuck up 💪
Man it makes my ass clench seeing the truck come down there There's not much stopping that becoming one big sledge Great skill and experience needed and good nerves 👏 Me? i just wouldn't do it
@@barbariansasquatch921 Engine brake manufacturer's say not to use engine brakes during inclement weather. Laws of dynamics especially down hill on snow and ice.

We all want to get back Home.
You have to be behind the wheel to access that. It looks incredibly slippery but from my years of experience Jakes can be used in many conditions. They also cut out at 1100 rpm usually. It seemed that the truck going down was on low, and was in complete control. I once went down an 8% grade in compact snow. On the decent was a right bend then a left. The road was banked the opposite way and when I looked in the mirror I could read the company name on the rear trailer. I sped up a wee bit and straightened it out. An on I went.
I'm in my 16th winter as a truck driver. I used to do the lower 48 (53' dry vans), now I just do Cali & Nevada (20' & 40' containers). I've used jakes in snow/ice since my first solo haul chained up over Vail, Co. I-70. Just used them last week through Donner, Ca. I-80. On downgrades, I put my Mack on Max Brake mode and just let her do the work. I rarely touch the brake, even when I'm at 70,000+ gross. I never go over 30mph when chained, I'm always around 25mph. I've never had an issue using jakes in ice/snow.
Technically, that's not a set of trips, it's a straight truck with a box on the frame of the truck and he's pulling two boxes. Surprised no one has said this yet.
Why would you be driving in that? I've been driving for 39 years. I'm too old to try to drive in that crap. I would have done it in my twenties and thirties but no way now
it only takes one comment in a video to lose your good votes :( and that looks freakin crazy up there im goin to start driving flat bed in a little while good money I guess that's the rumer atleast idk , wish you the best in your driving career, but maby be a lil nicer next time you see someone having a bad day :)

I don't miss this weather at all! Can remember driving to and from work in 20 plus inches of snow.... Lived on a hill !
No wonder I had a bad heart after 35 years of Trucking, my heart was in my throat quite often!!!
Michael Ashcraft...Exactly how I felt watching this video! 😬
I don't think that is how its works
Yours and mine both brother
35 years here too, tired and retired lol
We both have a million memories that make this little video a cake walk
I'll bet! I use to drive along Lake Superior to go to work 25 miles, I find it hard to deal with any type of snowy driving weather today..
That is not the reason......Likely just like this guy, bad choices on when you should be on the road and when you should stay OFF the road.
I love technical driving: mountains, sharp curves, steep grades, muddy or icy roads keep me from falling asleep at the wheel
That's actually true I never get tired at. The wheel in dangerous conditions but I normally wont bother unless it's a must do
Would you attempt to drive the same kind of truck in this video, same road and weather?
I simply have a small heart attack!
Wears me the fuck out.
Way too much concentration. 🚛❄️💨
anyone who takes triples on a road that nasty to begin with is crazy,but to attempt it without chains is insane!
Hell. One chain on the last trailer would've been enough.
Ditto
If you can do better have at it
I can and I have he never should have left the the yard without tire chains, and even with tire chains pulling triples on ice going down hill, probably not a good idea.
Truckers, without them the store would be empty
Watching that video made me so glad I lived long enough to retire and I don't have to do that chit anymore. Now I watch winter from inside.
Congrats! I made it through a very stressful career in construction and am just getting used to not having a knot in my stomach from worrying.
Great for you Theodore, enjoy your life. You deserve it!

What's in the driver's seat is more important that anything in the trailer or trailers. Screw dispatchers that have never even sat in a truck!
42 years and out! Don't miss it!

Moral of the story. Sometimes it's quicker to stop at that cafe at the bottom of the grade for a slice of hot apple pie alamode with cinnamon sause, giving time for the road crews to do their magic.
And furthermore it cools your tires thus giving more grip.
Sounds silly, but that little trick has helped me many times.
extra weight on the drive tires from the apple pie and ice cream help I've done it many times

Harry Bailey agree. Most would require to chain up , not sure why that’s not a standard here.
the downhill near Erie, PA can get harry with whiteout blizzards lol
It wasn't triples btw. And you cant pull triples in the snow
You could not pay me enough to even consider that run.

This is on the Stewart Hwy, near Kitimat BC. Steep road in summer, but in winter it looks scarier than hell. Fuck me backwards!
Anybody know what hill or road this is?

Going up is the easy part, coming down is the hard part..

Been there done that
but I had to back back down.
It's not going up in one piece that matters. It's getting back down in one piece that matters.
I'll just jump out right here, good luck.
No snow chains?
Looks like Oregon ....yeah?
Very dangerous road to drive through that kind of weather conditions.
Where Was the "Hill" Located? Been There Done That & Had some Divine Intervention er help Then Too

I’ll be advertising as a summer semi truck driver only 😳
I thought camera truck was getting in an accident at first
At least he was still on the road and not over the edge.
You can't tell up from down.!?
no freaking way...when it snows my truck is parked. then I get in my snow plow machine!!! gotta have other avenues to making money!!!
