Shelby, you are such an inspiration in so many ways! I'm starting CDL Class A classes this month, will be pulling doubles and triples throughout Winter in Montana. New, completely different career at age 52. I'm a 5'2" woman. Excited and scared. Watching your videos is good for my soul and intel, both! THANK YOU :) :) :)
You need the right tools in winter driving. Alcohol for air lines, deicing spray for glad hands and frozen lights. FedEx is notoriously bad at providing the proper training for winter driving conditions.
Yes this young lady is a inspiration! And you are never too old to start truck driving! 55, stop it! You are very young yet! Good luck on the school, soak everything in like a sponge! Never take anything for granted! Always have the mind set, you will never learn everything, because it changes day to day.but you will also learn every day! It’s challenging but also rewarding. I hope all the best on your new adventure, be safe, god bless
I hope you got a good school, because how you start trucking has so much to do with how it's gonna go. I started at 45, seven years after retiring from the military, and picked a very good company with their own school, M.S. Carriers. But not all the company-owned schools are so great, and some of the companies that have schools aren't so great, either. I'm reminded of the two school-grads from Swift who were team-driving and busted at an inspection having duplicate CDLs down to the last detail, supposedly earned at a state facility before the end of their driving school. So ask around about the school you're going to, and the company you're planning to work for.
Go for it girl! I started driving 5 years ago at 55 and I am glad I did even though it can often be "interesting" as Shelby puts it. I find it to be very rewarding
Dakota is your trusty companion and guardian. Having an intelligent dog along side one is like having a person. One can discuss matters with. If your engine dies he make an extra warn t h sharing buddy
A good temp fix for worm or frozen grommets is to take a little grease from the edge of the fifthwheel and put it on the mating surface. Seals leaks right up.
Sadly the trucking world is filled with too many men who can't handle being alone on the road for too long and end up doing desperate things. It's very sad.
So happy I found this channel ! Superb content and production. After 35 years as an airline pilot, I wish I would have been able to make videos like yours for those coming into the cockpit. Your professionalism is top notch, your ability to work and chronicle your life is amazing. Thanks for keeping me entertained while I break in a new shoulder ! Safe travels.
Still glad to see no matter how bad the situation was you still had that positive attitude and smile. Having Dakota to get a quick hug properly also helps.
After 15 years of trucking, I start working in logisticks. I miss driving so much now that I'm looking for a job driving again. You are an inspiration, with your smile, attitude and spirit. Keep on trucking!!!
Of all the reasons to be glad I am a "retired" trucker, THIS TYPE OF WEATHER is the top reason! It's not just the driving. The bigger issue is all the equipment problems!
Very brave girl, working without gloves in the cold! And very kind helping someone's trailer out. Many thanks and keep safe. Thank you again for being a very good samaritan.
Hey Shelby, watching you scratch that ice off those rear lights brought back memories. After 20 years OTR running reefers. I spent sooooo much time scratching ice off, changing air connection grommets and knocking ice off just about everything. Always worth the effort, when you wake up to that awesome sunrise! Take care and enjoying your channel! God bless
Hello shelby, this video is awesome. It shows to everyone that it is really hard some times with bad Weather. You and bkm did a great job. Stay safe allright. 😁😁
You can get a hair dryer or heat gun ,,, less than 3000 watts and a #10 extension cord and use it to warm things up and thaw frozen parts without the danger of fire melt when you use a torch,,,, your inverter has 1001 cool uses and I see you got a really good one TOP OF THE LINE, Tripp-Lite,,, Be Safe and Good Content !!!!
I have mad respect for truckers who drive through ice and snow responsibly. I hate driving in those conditions so I can’t imagine having to do that as part of my job.
Hey Shelby, Wow just think 2 months ago you had 78K subscribers, and now 1 year and 1 month from your very first video you now have 218K subscribers. This takes years for some people and others will never get to where you're at. What you have accomplished is amazing and is all because you care to be helpful to other truckers, newbie truckers, and regular drivers, you produce good content and you're personality is very likable. Keep putting out the videos because we will watch them. Stay safe and happy driving...
That is one hazard with LED lights on both truck and trailer.. ultra low wattage, but the heat from an older incandescent bulb is enough to keep most of the ice from building up.
Since most of the LED lamps are not for saving energy but for long life they should have put a small temp trigger with a heat element so once the temp hits 30 deg a 10-20w heater kicks on to keep the lense above 32deg
That was an awesome gesture on you to move that trailer that was dropped off preventing through way traffic. What amazed me was non of the other drivers gave you a helping hand to to assist you . More power to you Shelby, just keep it rolling.🙏😊
Excellent problem solving and critical thinking on your feet, despite that hostile environment. Emergency/non-emergency, important, not important. Always finding a way to hover successfully around those four priorities takes continuous situational awareness. You're a natural!
Good job Shelby! You always have such a positive attitude. I have been driving for 32 years. It is hard to come across someone like you that takes the time to actually do the job correct. God bless you always !!!!!!!
I bought a blow torch this winter for the glad hands. One of the mechanics at 591 hub taught me to heat up the back side of both until you see the dry spot forming. It heats them up just enough to seal them again, best $50 investment in my opinion.
I am watching you rock that trailer out of the snow and I realized I was rocking myself in my chair along with you.And you know what it worked you got out!
What I have for all my gladhands is a spray bottle with air brake alchohol to de ice them . I spray it in the red charge line also . It works great and will not hurt the air system. Also sometimes the metal part on the gladhand will bend and make a lose connection. Treat your self to a head lamp for working at night. Don't wait 40 years like me to finally get one . Stay safe and give your pup a pet from me . :)
Love the videos. After 14 years of being otr I've learned a few things. One thing that I'd like to share with you is , if the top of your windshield is covered with ice or snow. Put your visors down Crack your window just a bit and turn your defroster on. Having the visors down will help keep the windshield warm and will help keep the ice and snow from forming.
@@yoban360 your welcome. You may have to ride low rider for a bit because the visors will be in you line of sight. Iam 6'2 so any time I put the visors down I have to let the air out of my seat.
I have seen many of the things you show in your vids. Over the course of 15 years OTR I got to see all lower 48 states, all 4 seasons, and a multitude of beautiful scenic displays. You do a magnificent job, love watching your vids.
I appreciate you and all the hard work you do. While people are at home warm truckers are out there on these treacherous roads to get food in the stores and packages to our homes etc. Stay safe out there and may Gods Angels watch over you and Dakota!☮️💜🙏🏼
Always put in airline antifreeze before hooking up and airing your trailers up. Takes out the moisture that causes air leaks and valve failures. From a 28 year canadian trucking veteran.
Great job Shelby! And thanks for stressing how important it is to keep your tail lights clear to be seen. Love seeing Dakota and commentary too! Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Massive respect to you Shelby, I wouldn't have the nerve to drive in those conditions ! And yeah, winter sunrises and sunsets are something really special ! Be careful !
Good job Shelby! Your positive attitude is SUCH an empowering inspiration in moments of adversity, and in my every day trucking life. May you never stop shining on 😃
Shelby, a few things I had while trucking in Northern Alberta. Extra winter washer fluid. Un-sticks frozen tires. Pour a cup over each trailer wheel. The fluid flows down between treads and thaws out ice under the tire. After stopping for the night. BEFORE you go to bed. Move the truck forward a foot. The tires will not be frozen in yet. The brakes pads can stick to the drum. Have a 2lbs hammer and a 3 foot - 2" dia. solid steel bar. Give the drums a hammer through the wheel spokes. Carry airline anti freeze. Put in a thimble of fluid in each air line before hooking up. 5lbs propane tank and tiger torch. Heat up anything. Watch where you place the heat. Air lines melt like butter. Last resort if trailer is stuck. After you pin in. Release and move forward 6". Back-in hard.
@@murdoch9106 Shelby is running her trucking company, has to deal with Patreon, and drives full time... I drive full time, film, edit, and am starting my own company soon too so we both have our plates full. I love making videos though so any chance we get we come up with video ideas and film. Sometimes we film though, and I can’t get to editing for a week or so. We definitely don’t have any plans of stopping however 😁
Today's LED lights don't give off heat like the old ones so keeping them clean will be difficult. My wife likes your videos and reminds her of the times we used to drive OTR
@Greg F Just look out your window at home. I'm sure the sun sets and rises where you live. Much better than having to stair into the morning or evening sun while driving.
Thank you for stopping for that beautiful sunrise, and you're absolutely right, no picture or video can do justice to actually being there seeing / experiencing it, almost a spiritual feeling. The reason I drive is for the driving and all those sunrises and sunsets! The way you're always "helping"....AWESOME.
You & Decota are like many have already posted, you are a team & you are awesome ✊ For below 0 1/keep air tanks free of water trailer included. 2/If you have alcohol bottle fitted to truck (but probably not) keep the alcohol bottle topped up. 3/ Go to a camping shop or Walmart store & Get A/ a small Butane gun & plenty of cans of gas B/ a small camping stove & plenty of gas You’d be surprised when it’s below 0 you don’t need a great deal of heat to un- freeze frozen air system + your lights etc you can melt the thick ice then spray with de-icer ✊👍 I learned these tricks from Scandinavian drivers, added together they work + carry a fold up Military shovel 👍✊🍀
Glad you had that shot of the Yellowstone. It is beyond beautiful here in Montana.... and very cold. Stay bundled and safe you 3. Thanks for another great upload. Nellie was happy to see all the extra footage of Dakota. You had her glued to my computer.
At big brown we had 567k packages miss, 70-80% of feeder (semi truck) drivers call in, and 10 of the 90 staff in Portland show up for preload. This was the biggest ice storm I've seen in my lifetime.
@@Ca-yj4il the delivery service with brown trucks. I'm sure it's a situation where, like my employer, if you say the name then you have to put all kinds of extras in. Like..."in my opinion" or "in my experience" etc so you aren't seen as speaking FOR the company.
Doubles were challenging! I recall bad grommets ALL THE TIME with that particular company. My last company had STELLAR equipment, but we had no doubles. But don't get me started on the FLATBED and chameleon trailers!
The axle interlocks work fine at ANY speed and help in slippery road conditions. I don't know where this idea of yours comes from. I've been driving cmv's for over 35 years, even in winter all over the country...safe travels, young lady.
Retired after 44 years in the trucking industry and can't remember drivers being this happy to put on chains. Good for her. Seen many who didn't know how and some who put the cam locks on the inside.
When I drove team we used to split the clock into 12 hour segments, midnight to noon and noon to midnight,. and we'd switch off same time every day...looks like you do something similar?
Loving the winter time scenery, and also a big thanks to all the truckers out there doing what they do. Without truck drivers the world would stop. So thank you all.
Hello Beautiful Shelby, thank you for uploading part two, just watched part one last night. PLEASE stay safe out there. A question please, do you always haul duel trailers?
Not always. Depends on what they get at the terminal when the go to pick up the assigned load. For this round trip, they took a single 53' trailer to ND, and on the turn-around they hauled a double back to home base.
You can always tell who's driven in the snow and who hasn't by how the get un-stuck. I'm over here shouting and cheering GET IT, GIRL at you rockin and rollin the dropped trailer out. Reminds me of growing up and dealing with winters in the Northeast (not enough to go back, though, just enough to be proud to know I'd be able to get it un-stuck too ;) ) LOVE your videos and all you and your whole team does. Give the goofy floof a kiss from me. Mine is just as weird about water.
You’re an amazing person. You are a lot of the reason I decided to get my CDL and start trucking. You have the best attitude and always take what comes at you with a smile. Keep being you. stay safe out there.
You are sure one hard working woman! It’s really great to see. I drove for six years in the Midwest, so I know what you are going through! Good luck and God bless!!!🇺🇸💥🙏🙏🙏🙏💥🇺🇸

Wd40 on the tail lights and trico ice wiper blades for winter. Stay safe.
You need the right tools in winter driving. Alcohol for air lines, deicing spray for glad hands and frozen lights. FedEx is notoriously bad at providing the proper training for winter driving conditions.

most of us truck drivers are kind to others but like every profession you have a few bad apples
Sadly the trucking world is filled with too many men who can't handle being alone on the road for too long and end up doing desperate things. It's very sad.
Respect...what a wonderful attitude through very trying terrains....then helping out no matter how tired you were...Fed Ex lucky to have you.

So many unintended consequences in this universe. Especially in engineering professions 🙂
I never even considered that. But yer right!
Never knew that. Good to know.
It happens with LED traffic lights as well.

I am watching you rock that trailer out of the snow and I realized I was rocking myself in my chair along with you.And you know what it worked you got out!
Im glad im on a dedicated fleet running from NC to FL, i do not miss driving in blizzards.
What I have for all my gladhands is a spray bottle with air brake alchohol to de ice them . I spray it in the red charge line also . It works great and will not hurt the air system. Also sometimes the metal part on the gladhand will bend and make a lose connection. Treat your self to a head lamp for working at night. Don't wait 40 years like me to finally get one . Stay safe and give your pup a pet from me . :)
Yes, air brake alcohol oh and one of those head lamps from Cabelas.
And aerosol deicer works great at getting the ice off of frozen lights, wipers, etc!

When that happends to me in the cold weather, i always put a thin layer of greese on the airlines. Its an old army trick.
@John Mc you need grease rated for cold weather...I carry a a torch and a couple propane bottles in my truck during the winter here in Maine.
@John Mc silicone grease, won’t rot the rubber. We get it from plumbers supplies, used for o rings on pipes and plastic gutter unions in GB.

I just happened on this video. You guys are the greatest. So great to see kind people in the world 🌎
By the way, I LOVE the name of your RUclips channel!
Retired after 44 years in the trucking industry and can't remember drivers being this happy to put on chains. Good for her. Seen many who didn't know how and some who put the cam locks on the inside.
When I drove team we used to split the clock into 12 hour segments, midnight to noon and noon to midnight,. and we'd switch off same time every day...looks like you do something similar?
I miss driving through Montana on I-90 with the sunrise and the snow everywhere.. absolutely beautiful!!!
That is "big sky country"! Sunrise in Montana.
Loving the winter time scenery, and also a big thanks to all the truckers out there doing what they do. Without truck drivers the world would stop. So thank you all.
Don’t forget to drain your air tanks.
THANK YOU FOR HANGING IN THERE LAST WEEK TRUCKERS. YOUR EFFORTS ARE APPRECIATED OVER HERE!
Hello Beautiful Shelby, thank you for uploading part two, just watched part one last night. PLEASE stay safe out there. A question please, do you always haul duel trailers?
Not always. Depends on what they get at the terminal when the go to pick up the assigned load. For this round trip, they took a single 53' trailer to ND, and on the turn-around they hauled a double back to home base.
You can always tell who's driven in the snow and who hasn't by how the get un-stuck. I'm over here shouting and cheering GET IT, GIRL at you rockin and rollin the dropped trailer out. Reminds me of growing up and dealing with winters in the Northeast (not enough to go back, though, just enough to be proud to know I'd be able to get it un-stuck too ;) ) LOVE your videos and all you and your whole team does. Give the goofy floof a kiss from me. Mine is just as weird about water.
When we had over Road trucks and log trucks my dad used to and I did 90% alcohol pellet in a spray bottle and it works wonders
You’re an amazing person. You are a lot of the reason I decided to get my CDL and start trucking. You have the best attitude and always take what comes at you with a smile. Keep being you. stay safe out there.
You pulled me to become a truck driver 🙂😁
I think your cousins did that.....🤣🤣🤣
You are sure one hard working woman! It’s really great to see. I drove for six years in the Midwest, so I know what you are going through! Good luck and God bless!!!🇺🇸💥🙏🙏🙏🙏💥🇺🇸
