Pro Tip: When parking in cold weather, move your truck forward and back about every 15 minutes until your tires get cooled down (about an hour). Tires heat up on the highway and if you park on ice or packed snow, your tires will melt the ice and will then freeze your tires to the ground. It happened to me in North Dakota. An old timer told me moving your truck just a foot or so would prevent that from happening. He was right!
@@jayson1270 I had it happen to me. Just my luck, I guess. Hell, my personal vehicle, a '71 K5 Blazer froze to the ground several times when I lived in Wyoming. Right in the driveway next to my house. I had an engine heater, so no problem starting when it was -30°, but my tires would be so frozen to the ground, that I would have to put it in 4wd low and pop the clutch to break it loose from the ground. That was before I learned about the cooling down trick. You living and working in the Dakotas, I don't need to tell you about cold weather, but I pulled belly-dumps on the Tennaco project in Green River, WY and there were times that we had to burn smudge pots under the motors to thin up the engine oil enough to allow our motors to turn over. That would happen after a particularly cold holiday weekend in the winter and it was before multi-vis oils became popular. The only other option was to leave the trucks idle all weekend. I also spent some time rough-necking on triples in Wyoming. Nothing like working the floor, making wet connections when it's deathly cold. Yeah, cold sucks.
Becca , I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada above North Dakota where it gets cold as heck. I've done deck work for the past 14 +1/2 years up here at 75 years old and still going. I've trucked in the Yukon in the mid 70's and done winter roads here in Manitoba and Northern Ontario. So I've worked in some pretty cold weather. Since I was a kid we've worn what we call garbage mitts up here. They're a wool mitt inside a leather mitt. They got they're name from the garbage men up here in the 40's and 50's. A mitt keeps body heat close to each finger , where gloves keep your fingers apart and they don't heat each other. You will get used to throwing straps with them as well. Us drivers have tried every glove you can think of with no luck. Just thought I would suggest that seeing you freeze your hands , been there also.. Good luck and safe travels going South. Take good care of your co-drivers !!!!!
I love you Rebecca❤️So proud of you. You are an amazing woman🌼. I had fun together. Another cherished memory. My baby girl all grown up. I can’t believe it’s you making these videos!!. Lil Bebba all grown up! I’m like “ What the f$&k just happened?” You’re the BOMB!! Keep it up.. and stay strong.💪
Well I liked that video Becca. Brings back memories for sure, kind of miss those days. Life was not simpler back then for me. As a driver as you know you are at the mercy of everyone and everything. Some loads cause you no pain and others from the get go are pains in the butt. Things can be so good out there and on the flip of a dime it goes south in a heart beat. I do miss it. But knows best I do not go back out. Anywho Becca ya look like your a pro out there, ya know your job, have a great and a safe day, happy trails….
lol. gotta love your dogs....love watching your channel....im retiring from the fire service in 17 months and thinking about going OTR. Ive been driving (on my days off from fd), to boston and NYC for the last 8 yrs--dedicated Target account. Home daily and its really not that bad as far as the pay goes. ( I actually drive for 2 companies)...whoever as the work, thats where I go. I give you tons of credit for doing what you do at such a young age.....Keep going and be safe out there.....
Becca you are so cool I love the way you deal with your job Also its even better watching you throw straps and drag chains And I’m learning lots Be safe and stay warm and cool
My only comment to you is that your family is very lucky to have you with them, but your husband is even more fortunate to have such a natural, simple wife with more balls than any man, greetings from Austin, Texas and Merry Christmas
Winter weather can be a beast. I used to keep the straps on the cab floor in the winter. They get hard when frozen for sure. Carry a thick sleeping bag in case you need it during a big bad storm and your trapped out on the road.
I’ve seen Becca walk in her bare feet on the ice covered parking lot and throw snowballs at her dad. She sleeps with her windows down when it’s below zero. She almost froze her father to death when she rolled down the windows when he was sleeping. 😂
Even your puppies look quiet and subdued. Your dogs are so loving and sweet. You need to get you a pair of Carhart Overalls. Also the make little hand warmer things that produce heat chemically when you activate them. They are like little packets. You can slip them inside your gloves to keep your hands war Prayers for a safe drive for you!
I love watching your videos, going to be working for a flatbed trucking company soon, starting my orientation in Jan 2023 as a newbie. Learning a lot from you, especially on what to expect once on my own! - Thanks Becca for all your videos.
Hi Becca, I just wanted to let you know I enjoy watching your video's, you are awesome, I'm very impressed with everything you do because you definitely know what you're doing. Please be safe out there.
I seriously keep shocked how you’re truck driving, especially up in those areas in the winter. You are brave and strong. I’m still gonna wait till spring to switch to OTR cause I ain’t trying to deal with no winter bs lol Hope you stay safe.
I pray for your safety young lady. Those are some rough roads with all of the cold weather, ice, and snow. Be very careful. Are those “steel toed” shoes? Get you some!
I ran across your channel yesterday. I have watched everyone now.😊 love that you are doing what you put your mind to. I have two daughters, they know they can do anything they put their mind to. Keep your head up. And dont bother with the negative comments. But in my opinion i liked the curly brunette. But still a good looking woman. Stay safe. 🇺🇸👍
B😎cca your channel has become of of my favorites! the longer the videos the better, I get concerned when I see the bad weather out there where you are, so when I see you have posted a video I know that you are ok 🙂 keep up the great work and know that I am out here cheering you on!
I haven’t been OTR in 15 years. Some of those lonely places don’t look they have changed a bit. I don’t know which I hated worse, throwing chains or pulling tarp? Don’t miss either. Next time your in a big TA or Loves or Flying J, look for a pair of neoprene rubber gloves. They keep your hands warm in the coldest weather, wet or dry. Love your dogs. It must be a great comfort to have them along. Your doing great. Keep up the good work driver. fM
I have nothing but respect for long haul drivers. I would occasionally help my cousin move furniture across the US and it could be rough sometimes. Trailer full of furniture split between different states. Always picking up and dropping off. I miss seeing all the different places tho and getting to visit places I never would have otherwise.
Becca was helping her father train new drivers when she was 7 years old. She would color in her books and tell the drivers what they had to do next. Becca is a true seasoned driver.
Advice for next time coming up to Montana: base layer (thermals), anything wool or fleece, and finally finish with outer wear (waterproof and wind proof wear).
Be safe on that ice 😊 Carry a winter emergency bag. Clothes, gloves and blanket I broke down once in -0 temps. Was stranded for six hours. I learned my lesson 🥶 I got some bad fuel and my filters gelled up.
Hey Becca, have you thought about pulling dry vans. I've been driving 23yrs. and try to make my job easy as possible. Bump the docks and go or drop and hook, l just started watching you and really enjoy your videos. Stay safe and God bless! "Happy New Year"! I will keep watching in 2023.
Ice Road Trucker Becca just like Lisa Kelly! Looks like the dogs want some pizzas 🍕 too ha ha. Ok be careful out there and get home safe. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you and your family.
interesting way to transport containers in eu we have special trailers for those no chains or straps the container locks in the frame directly. some trailers have even build in unloading system with arms on the trailer so u can unload / load the container yourself directly from the ground. when the straps r frozen just put them in a bag in the cabin to unfreeze them before rolling them i kept them under the bed all the time. safe trips
I've worked outside all my life. Get some brown jersey gloves and a good pair of calfskin gloves to fit over them, your fingers will stay relatively warm and you'll still have dexterity. Get two or three pair on case they get wet. I love the dogs and you make me smile. Best regards from Indiana.
Hola 👋 from Fort Worth Texas im proud of You because you look young and working hard i subscribe to your RUclips Channel Feb 2,2023 SAFE TRAVELS driver
Was that there in Billings MO....if so I know exactly where that is....that chinese buffet is pretty good that's where I'd eat at everytime I'd stop in there....or I'd eat at the McDs at the other one....didn't get any pizza.....
There are head lamps, wrist lights, chest lights for runners. Climb around in the dark no more and use a samurai sword zombies and not worry about lighting.
Becca, you drove right by our house in Fort Collins Colorado. We live about 1/2 mile west of I-25. Next time you go through we would like to visit since it seems like we know you.
I think south Dakota has snow too 🤔 how sacery you drive alone with your pets besafe i have respect for women truck drivers thank you for your hard work besafe on road s happy thanksgiving
You know those dogs have internal senses that they try to tell us things and it sometimes is us , and other times in them there are a ton of thing dogs do that explain deficiencies or needs or pain possibly and other things that they might be experiencing and trying to tell us by touching biting there feet itching rolling in grass sneezing chewing there’s a there might be a place somewhere or you can look it up and let you see what they’re wanting the dogs, ok thanks the dude coming over to help was standing back a wachting you and saying wow she’s pretty, that is what he’s was thinking lololol good job thanks BigAl California.
Well in my trucking world chains I’d cables go on iron edges like that, or edge protection corners under the nylon straps to keep them fro getting cut , that should be the proper way to bind down iron loads , I got a ticket 🎫 one time for using nylon cargo straps on a metal iron load, so just saying thanks beautiful thanks BigAl California
For your straps get a bucket of coolant and soak them in it. Throw your straps and spray deicer on the winches or spray coolant on them. It’s a must in flatbed. My first winter I had to cut my straps off the load because everything was frozen solid in Salt Lake City.
That snow is why I'm sitting here in Tulsa ready to load out in the morning where it's 60 degs and sunny lol. It was head north to WY and hut snow or head home and deal with the mess in upstate NY there was no winning
They are selling a straps roller at the truck stop. It will help you alot during winter time. Good luck!!

I Live/Haul in the Dakota's and have never had that happen. We run them, and then shut them down. Drum brakes frozen? Everyday. Tires? Not yet.

Or have 3 pair of gloves so you can keep 2 pair on passenger side floor under the heater and keep rotating the cold ones for warm ones.
@Wally Timmins: 75 years old!! Way da go mate. There's hope for us all. 🇬🇧
Where do you purchase the gloves

She loves dogs. She drives a semi. She likes cabovers. Shea a Dominoes fan. Shes really cute. What a package you are maam!

Look for mitten gloves!
Or
Lined plastic gloves!
Lobster fishermen use them, flexible plastic/rubber, usually orange in color.
Waterproof!

Funny, to us natives that live in park county. It's not wind, just breezy. Wind is when the wind gage broke with a gust of 152 mph.
Good to see you again and continue to be safe!🙏🏽
Much appreciated! You too! 🤗
Be safe on that ice 😊
Carry a winter emergency bag. Clothes, gloves and blanket
I broke down once in -0 temps. Was stranded for six hours. I learned my lesson 🥶
I got some bad fuel and my filters gelled up.

Great vid , just a question dont they have twist locks or container pins on flat bed trailers in the US ?
I've worked outside all my life. Get some brown jersey gloves and a good pair of calfskin gloves to fit over them, your fingers will stay relatively warm and you'll still have dexterity. Get two or three pair on case they get wet. I love the dogs and you make me smile.

Montana, gets some nasty weather. Hard to work when your hands get so cold and feels like your fingers are about to brake off.
Stay safe out there.

Great job girl I love the way you roll
Thank you so much 🤗
Watching this as the hard freeze warnings are in effect as this winter storm is upon us.
You’re Awesome Becca! Keep up the great work and we love your videos as well!😊
Love driving in snow ( Montana)!!! Be careful out their!!!!
Take care out on your roads. You done the right thing your safety comes first
There are head lamps, wrist lights, chest lights for runners. Climb around in the dark no more and use a samurai sword zombies and not worry about lighting.
That's to funny Becca. I take poptarts with me to eat every day on my work truck lol
The cinnamon ones are my favorite 🫣
I like the smores kind.😁😋
Becca, you drove right by our house in Fort Collins Colorado. We live about 1/2 mile west of I-25. Next time you go through we would like to visit since it seems like we know you.

I think south Dakota has snow too 🤔 how sacery you drive alone with your pets besafe i have respect for women truck drivers thank you for your hard work besafe on road s happy thanksgiving
Safe travels Becca. You can stop in Sioux Falls. When your going through South Dakota for a cup of coffee.
Becca u have awesome copilots
Be careful out there! Happy Thanksgiving to you, the dogs, and your family! Love your videos
Awesome job weather is pain sometimes. Need some winter gear
Was I the only one that thought Becca was going to do that scene from "The Blair Witch Project"?
drive safely greetings from plane texas I love your videos keep uploading more
Thanks, will do! 😇😊
I’ve been thinking about going on the road but I’m a bit nervous. I’ve been local for 2yrs now
She is so beautiful and hard worker.
Great video Becca
Becca nice video as always good information hope that you zick,and benji have a nice thanksgiving and always drive safe
Hello, new subscriber here from east NC and also a fellow trucker. Really enjoy your videos!
Get a strap winder..it will come in handy especially in winter time..they latch on the rub rail
I know I know … I need to get one! 😩
Becca, you think montana is cold. Sorry, we haven't had winter yet. I live in Livingston. Keep up the good work.
Pick up balaclava lots choose from and sky goggles. That wind chill cuts cold. I know from experience. Winter time puppy needs there fur.
Did you add fuel anti gell additive and leave truck truck running all night while you were up there?
Happy Thanksgiving Becca
Keep on trucking 👍🏻
Always!🤗
New subscriber from Kansas not a truck driver but a heavy equipment operator be safe out on the road
Great video Becca,
Praying you recorded this a few days ago lol I bypassed Montana but I’m coming through Utah now headed towards Wyoming.
Hey. What are your pointy lug nuts about? Is there a purpose or just style?
You know those dogs have internal senses that they try to tell us things and it sometimes is us , and other times in them there are a ton of thing dogs do that explain deficiencies or needs or pain possibly and other things that they might be experiencing and trying to tell us by touching biting there feet itching rolling in grass sneezing chewing there’s a there might be a place somewhere or you can look it up and let you see what they’re wanting the dogs, ok thanks the dude coming over to help was standing back a wachting you and saying wow she’s pretty, that is what he’s was thinking lololol good job thanks BigAl California.
Shoe game is strong in the winter!🔥
I like her ESPN sportscaster look.
Well in my trucking world chains I’d cables go on iron edges like that, or edge protection corners under the nylon straps to keep them fro getting cut , that should be the proper way to bind down iron loads , I got a ticket 🎫 one time for using nylon cargo straps on a metal iron load, so just saying thanks beautiful thanks BigAl California
For your straps get a bucket of coolant and soak them in it. Throw your straps and spray deicer on the winches or spray coolant on them. It’s a must in flatbed. My first winter I had to cut my straps off the load because everything was frozen solid in Salt Lake City.
I’ve heard of loosening your chains but how do you unloosen (4:15) chains, wouldn’t that be tightening them?😂
Happy Thanksgiving Becca Hope You Have A Great Day Stay Safe Wishing You Lots Of Love And Nothing But The Best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Btw, Fluffy is the best comedian!
That snow is why I'm sitting here in Tulsa ready to load out in the morning where it's 60 degs and sunny lol. It was head north to WY and hut snow or head home and deal with the mess in upstate NY there was no winning
Looks like you still need to invest in a strap winder. Yack shoes work really well with the ice. Just some things that will help make your job easier
You need to keep you some Hot Hands with you for those cold weather moments
