Sucks to drive in, but I enjoy watching other people drive in it from the comfort of my living room in front of the roaring fireplace sipping a coffee.
Found your channel by chance and am very glad I did. Love the snow, but can't handle the driving, so, thank you for taking us along to enjoy the awesome scenery. Stay safe.
25 years of driving a Rig...i see snow or ice...loads gonna be late....my life was more important then a load...chains don't honestly help, unless it's cleared up enough to drive on...CO was the worst i have ever gone thru, besides Donner Pass....be safe drivers
On my 9th year but I disagree with you. When I chain, I chain 4 truck outers and all 4 rears. For me I need to be safe and I've never got stuck anywhere never stopped going. Only way I'll sit is if it's that 3" freezing rain like i84 gets along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.
@@greg1629 only 9 years ? keep on truckin buddy, you have a lot to learn about the roads and conditions..you'll understand what i mean after you put in another 10 years on the road, your feet aren't even wet yet...Good luck and happy Truckin...and Merry Christmas
@@David-td5po 9 years or 9 months in the trucking industry is pretty much the same, having 25 years in the business i still wasn't a professional driver...so 9 years he still wet behind the ears

It is reminded me our driving in Quebec province in Canada. We leave Montreal toward Quebec city weather in Montreal is fined with sunshine and soon you have hit little bit beyond Drumondville about half way to Quebec city weather changes and road which is Trans Canada Highway become icy than a we bit of snow and sooner or later we are hitting real winter weather. This is in a span of about 60 miles from Montreal and things get worst as you get toward Quebec city which is from Drumondville to Quebec city 145 miles about. So we have to be very careful in these type of road conditions. I am admiring your driving . You are made for this type winter drive.
I’d Rather Park it than Spend an hour chaining only to get run over or held up by spin outs from others that didn’t chain up or wrecks that closed the Pass altogether We have too many Inexperienced drivers & too many Foreign Drivers that are just dangerous in these conditions I have 20 years of driving a truck & the last 5 have gotten worse with the new breed of drivers Trucks & Cars that are complete idiots in the winter it’s Safer to Park it & Wait it out I’d rather get the Load there Late than not at All your life should be more important than the Load
I’ve been over this pass many times and had to chain up two times. Got lucky on the other times. This pass is equal to Donner pass . I’ve seen snow banks well over twelve feet high. . I’m grateful that I was able too make it through before these snowfalls.
Hi.. Good to see you Mr Jimmy I am Bang Lubis From Tangerang Banten Indonesia Be Carefull.. Snow on route... Must be turn on chains.. Oh ya mr Jimmy any my Friend Driver Truck in USA he youtuber too The Name Channel Driver Truck Amerika From Manado Indonesia..
I hope this prepares anybody who's going to drive this pass to be prepared. Even the video doesn't really show the proportions of what you're driving through. Imagine being a grain of sand in a landfill and you'll begin to understand what it's like to drive this. You can't lose your concentration for a moment.
I plowed snow in that area. This is pretty light but definitely not insignificant. The snow load in the Sierras can be absolutely terrifying when it gets bad. We’d always plow a path for the first responders first, of course, and many customers complained that we were playing favoritism. Of course we were. The accidents were off the charts when we got a dump, did these morons think they’d be safer with nurses, firemen and cops spending eight hours digging out of their driveways? I just don’t understand the disconnect the vacationers have from reality.
I have long been a proponent of needing a winter or W endorsement to drive in inclement conditions such as these. Every winter, especially the first few snow falls of the season dipshit drivers that do not know or have forgotten how to drive in the snow wreak havoc on the roads. Special training on a skid pad, simulator and education on required equipment for winter would be mandatory regardless of the class of license. There are as many dipshit truck drivers as car drivers it seems. If you get two accidents (which include ditching it or wipe outs) in three years you loose your W rating. Caught driving without a W rating in declared conditions and it is an automatic charge of driving without a license. But not likely to happen.
The trucks you see parked don’t wanna chain-up also they just park and wait it out. But by doing that these drivers will never reap the experience of the proud felling that( ‘I made it through )‘.
Pick a lane and stay there! CDL driver here, if you jump around you cause problems! Being selfish by showing that your time is more important than everyone else’s is not being a good driver/operator. At best you saved 2 minutes, whoo whoo. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of life…
He's got a better tire setup for snow and he didn't cause problems for anyone, he's just a better driver in snow than most. He also broke trail for traffic in the snowy lane every other pussy is afraid to go into. The real problem is anyone who's unprepared, no snow tires so the lanes get narrower and norrower and it only takes one spinning and stuck to stop the whole show.
Very good, that the Police controlls, wether the trucks are prepaired for the snow. And it seems to be enough space for the drivers to park and do the chaining. On our narrow German highways a little bit of snow causes always big long queues, because the trucks are mostly not using snowtires, especially the foreign drivers from south east European countries. If the first one gets stuck on a hill the other one tries to overtake and gets stuck too. Another one tries to overtake on the third lane and also gets stuck. So all three lanes are blocked by some stupid truckdrivers and there wouldn't even remain enough space for the snowplowers to go through. I think even for trucks snowtires should be obgligate. And the Police must controll more strickt. When they stop us in our ordinary vehicles, even with my 4x4 2017 Kia Sorento and I wouldn't have the right tires, under such snow conditions, I would have to pay a high panalty and I wouldn't be allowed anymore to continue my journey.
Watching this I’m thinking to myself I drive truck for a living. I see a lot of idiots on the road.Could you imagine all the idiots those snow plow drivers encounter.
In this weather you must use yr chaines, if not, give those people a very high penalty for not using them, that will learn them, also keep to the right lane.!!!! Will you ever become wise and learn from that????
@@mariaherdman4413 always some 1 who's gona hate hes driving fine maybe he actually knows how to drive in these conditions heck most can't drive on drive pavement these days..
One important remark: Yr semi's need to keep to the right lane, because with very low speed you are hindering other traffic and causes traffic jam. Also with snow. !!!!
What lane would you prefer them to be in? They have to be in one of the lanes or you might not be able to buy any things you need unless your one of those people that dont need anything at all.
Sucks to drive in, but I enjoy watching other people drive in it from the comfort of my living room in front of the roaring fireplace sipping a coffee.

Snow on route...
Must be turn on chains..

I got parked at the TA over for a day that time. The only time I've ever paid for a shower.
Going to be driving over that on Friday going to buy traction tires and chains on Thursday.
Good idea
Quick HaulA$$, traction tires advised.....Damnit, that didn't take long for them to change the chain requirements.
Cool tunes

Seems to be a me me me first society...I'm not the only person dealing with a narc, the whole world seems to filled with them.
But it's the Cascades
@mickpatterson6402 fun fact: it snows more in the cascades than anywhere else in the world. Mt Baker holds the record.

Pride goeth before a fall....maybe they get their fulfillment elsewhere???
Oversize loads were prohibited and the other drivers were chaining up

Watching this I’m thinking to myself I drive truck for a living. I see a lot of idiots on the road.Could you imagine all the idiots those snow plow drivers encounter.
Drivers running with the fourway flasher scare me. I just stay away from them.
It’s just to warn others they’re taking it slow
Could be danger ahead a driver may of heard about on CB that 4wheelers would probably know nothing about or a trucker that doesn’t use a cb.
If they have chains on they should have there 4 ways on. Spinning steel is a hazard.
Not worth driving in this condition. Especially if u get in an accident and kill someone , u get 110 years . Bs
Even driving this pass at night with driving rain and wind as I did can be bad
In this weather you must use yr chaines, if not, give those people a very high penalty for not using them, that will learn them, also keep to the right lane.!!!! Will you ever become wise and learn from that????
Should have taken the Gorge..
You couldn't pay me a million dollars. I might make it but I would die trying.

Did you have chains on in that weather
No
i Guess the New Drivers Dont Used CB Any More Right
Some do. GMRS also
Someone ordered for a concrete pour ?
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Freak snow storm
What state is that?
Washington State
It's "Chains" not chaines.
Thanks fingers getting old 81

I don't notice any signs of salt or sand being laid down.
The plow trucks have sound
"Chaines"??
I know
Chain-up place
Ok this traffic is headed west and oops the slow down
I think it is eastbound lanes. Saw a road sign for Ellensburg.
Hate that corner going east...usually where the idiots clog it up.
your not a very safe driver your just really lucky.just saying try doing that in canada

17.00 Here an example of a stupid semi driver to keep to the left lane and hindering other traffic.
Wrong. Going uphill some of the trucks cant go very fast, sometimes 5 or 10 mph. In that case the ones that can go faster pass them on the left.
That's the 2nd senseless comment from you. Take an exlax. He isn't hindering any body, there are other lanes open if anyone wanted to pass
People who post these videos need to LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!
