Pro tip. If you’re on pavement that looks wet, look for mist coming from your wheels and other vehicle wheels around you. If you don’t see mist. You’re on ice. 🤷🏽♂️
You have one of the top trucking channels that's currently running. Your videography, camera placement, editing, and drone videos really make me feel I'm in the passenger seat. Thank you for the ride, my friend. Bit your swearing makes me cringe.😅
First time watching your videos and I can relate to everything you do except when I was otr I was a company driver and not O/O. Been driving 7 years and coldest I've been in was -18 up in Minneapolis. Nearly froze my doggy balls off! In Tennessee one time when I first started driving I had a empty and roads were icy and damn trailer started sliding into the right lane next to me. I shut down real quick after that. Yeah buddy! Enjoying your stuff. Be safe out there.
Appreciate you watching! Thank you very much. Safest thing to do is shut down if you’re empty. I’m not a big fan of snow and ice. I try avoiding it as much as possible. I used to drive in any conditions like a crazy person but not anymore. Seen to many bad accidents because people don’t know when to shut down. Stay safe out there driver and one more time, thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Love the videos man keep them coming. Im a fairly new driver so its nice to see someone with some experience and how you handle situations. I am currently sitting at a pilot up by Chicago because of the snow and ice and no idea how long i am going to have to sit here because of it.
Appreciate it driver. Stay as long as you feel necessary there. Nobody can make you drive in unsafe conditions. Better to sit there, than in a ditch somewhere. I used to do some crazy driving in snow and ice but not anymore. It’s to dangerous now days. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving safely, someone else will drive into you because they are driving crazy. Stay safe out there driver and always remember. Better late than never.
Not a truck driver but, Been on all those roads for work. Fun to see the motel in st Francis I’ve stayed at and ole bird city. Also stopped at that loves in Norton.
My heart sunk around 25:31, thought your truck was sliding but it was your drone! New subscriber....be safe out there. Thanks for providing a great view of the road as you are driving.
I was sliding night before. I don’t get along with snow and ice lol I used to drive in any weather and I refused to stop for any reason. But since I got older , I think I became little wiser and now I refuse to drive in bad weather. Appreciate you watching brother.
Put you a coffee maker in the truck man, i drink alot of coffee and its better to have your own and its always good.. fk paying 4$ for loves piss coffee
@@OTRBandit I am a 17 year old lives in Junction city ks this been like this for a pass few days like yesturday my school dismissed us at 1:30 due to major snow drifts.
@@jokeboy_rblxrblx2006It was really bad for past few days. Hopefully you’re staying safe and off the road young man. I was about to get another load to Colorado but temperature in Kansas will be like -14 on Sunday and I was like, no I don’t need money that bad.
Too many of them. I used to be one of those but it’s not worth it. I never used to pull over, no matter what conditions were like outside, I kept driving. I’m to old to do stupid stuff like that anymore.
Closing down the roadway without giving the motorist a valet reason, usually are signs of authoritative nature, " you don't have a right to know " just do as you are told and stop asking questions. The other one is, we want you to some money while you are passing through, in the meantime we can ask the government for more money to repair the roads, increase for money law enforcement officials, drugs controllers, or whatever else the need for Closing down the road way in those little out of the way towns .
@OTRBandit , this was when the first round came thoug last Monday morning. I got back around 1030pm Tuesday. From Oakley to Wakeeney was still nothing but snow pack and ice. Stay safe out there!
Because I’m empty. If I had parked at the pumps or just passed pumps, I would get stuck. You can eat my d!(k buddy. I parked like that because I’m experienced and I know what I’m doing. And once again, you can EAT MY D!(K. Don’t like it, don’t watch.
Just had to say this as I see it way too often.. When you stopped on the Off ramp - much safer option is to go over the road and pull over on the On Ramp… you won’t have one of these morons barreling down on you trying to take you out
You mean APU? Because it’s too much money and if they break down, I have to take the truck to the shop for at least couple days and possibly spend thousands on repairs. This generator goes out, I take it to harbor freight and get a new one.
I always deadhed at least 450 miles from Denver. This time I deadheded all the way to the house. 790 miles with that detour I took because Kansa closed I-70. Nothing pays coming out of Denver. That’s why you want to make sure you get paid really good going to Denver
@@OTRBandit fuel. big time. ET transport on youtube did a comparison on old hood trucks VS plastic trucks and it was thousands a month in savings for fuel. First off, the top of your truck isn't deflecting the air over the trailer so it's like hitting a brick wall. Don't get me wrong I love the older hood trucks more than the plastic trucks but the money savings is massive.
@@powshredder3716I’ve watched that video and his numbers don’t add up. All of those fuel savings go out the drain when you have to replace DEF on it for for $10K+ . Just the a maintenance savings alone on truck like mine is worth owning one over the new one. My engine rebuild is $13K, new truck engine rebuild is $40K. You are right, If this truck wasn’t a glider, it wouldn’t be worth owning it over a Freightliner or some other new truck. The only reason this one is better than newer trucks even with that fuel difference, is because it’s a glider. I would never own one of these if it wasn’t a glider. Wouldn’t be worth it. I still get pretty decent fuel mileage on this one because it’s a Detroit engine in it. I average about 6.5 MPG. Which is not bad for a truck like this.
@@OTRBandit hmmmm, interesting. Well I look forward to the video you are going to put out on gliders. I have googled them but there is so much conflicting info on them. The truck is new? the motor is a re build? or can it be a new motor too? ...
@@powshredder3716 Truck is brand new, engine is older. Engines are usually pre 2000 to go around all the required electric and emissions stuff.

lol I don’t give a crap about your opinion or your subscribing lady. This is me, I’m not going to change because some women on RUclips don’t like it. GFYM
That’s what I heard. they’ve been saying that they gonna do that since I moved to Columbia back in 2002 but I guess they finally decided to start working on it.
@@pooplips3114 I’m not looking forward to it honestly. There’s gonna be a lot of traffic jams. And those four lanes in each direction are totally unnecessary in Columbia. There is hardly any traffic jams in Columbia right now. What they should do is all that money redo that intersection of US 63 and interstate 70 right there on exit 128. Traffic jam is at all time.
Lived in Columbia off and on for a long time. 70's and 80's and it was a mess back then on 70. Need to 3 lane the whole road from St Louis in my opinion. Do love Columbia especially on football weekends. Lived 2 blocks from the stadium and walked to the games.

If you see mist you could still be on ice. Depends on how much mist your tires are throwing.

Wonder if you thought about a green DPU unit! For your comfort control and starting in cold weather.
APU would be nice but they cost allot of money and they are expensive to fix.
It was ice falling off overhead power lines.
Yes sir. That’s what it was. Scared the crap out of me. I think it would have broken my windshield if it smacked across it.
I was held up in Limon Co for 28 hours. Waiting to get back home to Salina, ks.
I was just west of you in Bennett. I wanted to get to Limon but it didn’t look safe so I shut it there in Bennett. You made it back home yet?

The Loves was very small, where did you want him to park? He said he parked like that because he didn't want to get stuck.
@@shawniehowardHe wasn’t listening lol he said “bad thinking” on my part. If I was thinking like him, I would have gotten stuck.
That’s a good little loves
It wasn’t too bad. I just had to angle it like that towards the road so I wouldn’t get stuck.
Just had to say this as I see it way too often.. When you stopped on the Off ramp - much safer option is to go over the road and pull over on the On Ramp… you won’t have one of these morons barreling down on you trying to take you out
I agree 100% on ramp is way safer than exit ramp.
Why don't you have an auxiliary power unit on your truck
You mean APU? Because it’s too much money and if they break down, I have to take the truck to the shop for at least couple days and possibly spend thousands on repairs. This generator goes out, I take it to harbor freight and get a new one.
Wow how many miles did you Deadhead for your Load??
