- HUGE trailer fire! | A Day In The Life of an OTR Trucker
Just another typical day in the life of an over the road truck driver... Just kidding! This trip was anything but typical. I was on my way back to SLC, UT when I drove up on a trailer fire! BKM got out and used my fire extinguisher to try and help put out the flames, but that didn't work so I called in the fire fighters. No one was hurt in the making of this video, thankfully. Big shout out to the Oregon State Troopers and North Powder Rural Fire Dept. for responding quickly, and handling the scene proficiently.

Hey everyone! “Cameraman” here 😎✌🏼 Please consider giving this video a share to promote the old trucking morals of lending a helping hand and camaraderie. Y’all are a family out on the road as Shelby said. Let’s get this hashtag going: #notruckerleftbehind
Robert Mensing Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼
My husband is a Detroit Police Officer, thank you for your service where that may have been for how long that may have been for. Not an easy job. Your skills are amazing and i'm glad you could help out in that situation as well. The music is amazing in these videos, shots are gorgeous, keep up the good work! amazing videos.
@@smOVERCOMINGITALL Retired from Redford here. Small world. Stay safe.
Black Kodiak Media techie question/request!? That’s a very nice orange/teal colour grade you’ve got going on there 😁 Do you use a commercial LUT or a home made one? I’ve been trying to get that look for my vacation movies...having problems with orange faces though 😂
Skallia Ray I worked in a couple different states, one city PD and another county SO. Thank you for the compliments and tell your hubby to stay safe out there.
Glad no one was hurt, but you need to wear some reflective clothing especially at night like that.
I was thinking the same!
Reflective safety vest is mandatory for many trucking carriers and shipping facilities too.
She had reflectors and a light. Now she can get the reflective vest and hopefully never use it. Dark and cold isn`t what this lady needs.
Let's go champ
I know they normally are supposed to have them but she might have forget when she was worrying about the fire
Young lady your good heart and professionalism lends a great example to the industry. That is you!
non 👌👌👌👌💖💖
Amazing example of professionalism in such an important industry
She's full of good energy 👌😘
Every time I watch a "Happiness By The Mile" video, the sun is warmer, the sky is bluer, and people are nicer to each other. 💖💖
😳 thank you guys for stopping! Now that’s brotherhood in Trucking right there!! It’s still alive!! 🥰
Driven Trucking just think of you had someone riding around doing all your videography! Keep doing you, man. Nice work on your part.
Wyo Trans thanks man, hopefully some day I will get as good as BKM 😊
superbe amigo
Also, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING @blackkodiakmedia IS????? Wish every TH-camr stepped up the way he does
Caroline Sharpe 🥰🥰🥰
Black Kodiak Media I was going to say the same thing!!! This video is incredible! I hope you send it to that fire department. At least the shots of them. Such an artistic view of the amazing work they do.
Video is beautiful. Properly exposed, excellent lighting etc. Beautiful work.
Hell yes! Unreal how good he is.
Awesome filming and editing, great work!
Shelby I think you have a big heart may God Bless you and Safe travels
Your cameraman is freaking AWESOME. He just made me want to be a firefighter.
8:33 we interrupt this video about trucks to bring you important information about moss.
Love it, subbed.
🤣🤣🤣
Holy sweet damn BKM, seriousness of a truck fire aside, this was beautifully shot. Good lord.
Being in the emergency services for 13 years now, I've been on several trailer fires. And a couple tractor fires as well. I wanted to give a shoutout to the fire department and law enforcement on scene, as well as to you for stopping, and to BKM, for assisting. You guys are awesome.
Thank you for your service to your community. Fellow FF here, did 13 years until I got sick.
Sometimes every little bit helps. Awesome to see this comment after reading some other comment bashing her and BKM saying how dumb it was for them to step in to try and help.
@@stephenrich3029 There's nothing wrong with them trying to help. That's part of being a truck driver. Help out your fellow man. Not leave them stranded, and hope for the best.
I am a a police officer in the UK and I've have been to several trailer and 1 time a ar went fleeing into the back of him and the driver died
Of the car
Wow!! Action, adventure, scenery and a biology lesson to boot. 😍
Tune in next week where Shelby teaches about elephants and competes in the Indy 500 😂😂 kidding lol.
@@socal87border HA HA!!! 👍🤣
Reality TV!!
Haha😁
jeanti
You have my full admiration and respect.
I LOVE the Dakota narration!! Melts my heart.
Absolutely, Shelby and the incredible BKM* make great videos but dang, Dakota's subtitles are the best!
(I mean, being in the cab all the time, and moving about to get different shots, and Dakota totally not reacting to them... the perfect fly on the wall!)
Dakota narration is why i keep watching really because it is hecking funny.lol
If the days of drivers helping other drivers is gone, then it is up to the new people entering the industry to bring it back. What a wonderful example you are setting and a powerful call for awareness. When you're out there all alone and you see someone else who is also out there all alone and in need of help - YOU HELP. Proud of you and admire your character. 👍😎👍
I was panicking when you were running down that shoulder in the dark !! The way those trucks were speeding past was plain crazy !!
As always, please stay safe Shelby !!
The Columbia River Gorge is simply beautiful and one of my favorite drives as well.
I've been trucking for 30 years, the days that other truck drivers would stop and help, is gone,
agreed remember knowing where all the bears were
Did you not watch this video? Lol.
I remember when I 1st .. Started driving the Early seventies.... There were been 20 trucks stopped it this one.. It seemed like no one gives a shit anymore.... By the way I am retired..
I like your DOG.. Thank you for taking the time in train your dog..
It's very sad in trucking now days it's dog eat dog world and that Mack drivers to. Every body out for themselves screw there co workers.
Thanks for exemplifying the traits that should be common but aren't. Helping those in need, keeping others safe and being kind to each other is so important.
As a trucker that’s been in this for years , what you did in this situation shows your willingness to go beyond all obstacles to help a fellow trucker , god is with you , I only hope if I ever run into these types of problems I would be fortunate enough to have someone like you to come along and help . GOD BLESS YOU , BE SAFE OUT THERE
Shelby, That was nice of you to help a driver in need.
Heckin yeah, Dakota steals the show! She be da boss of dis channel! Stay safe, driver 👍
I am a proud former volunteer firefighter of 13 years in Jersey (no exit jokes please....lol). Nice knock of the fire by the men and women of North Powder Rural Fire Department. Fighting a fire like that is no joke. Also thank you to Black Kodiak for his service as a LEO. Shelby and BK did the trucking family proud!!! No Trucker left behind.
Absolutely amazing filmography! The editing, sound and production is over the top ! Just WOW !
God bless you for stopping and helping! I'm glad that you all are safe! Like you said many just kept going and yes, on the Hwy they go the speed limit or above and that was dangerous because like you said you almost got hit! People when they see those triangles at first glance need to slow down and move over for safety, I do, and stop and help each other! But people are always in a hurry! I pray traveling mercy over you and your friend and beautiful dog! You Rock🙏❤️
The Highway is Not a Happy Place. Risked her own life by stopping
You rock for stopping to help, Shelby! :)
Native Oregonian here. I love this state and never want to leave! Also props to you for stopping to help. In this day and age it's hard to find people willing to do that
It's Human Nature to Help. Congratulations for Being so Kind!!!
Shelby: very friendly officers....etc....
Dakota: squiiiii!😂😂😂
😂😂😂
👩🏼🎤👍👍👍
I would love to see a morning and night routine on your truck!
Laura I agree that would be cool to see
Laura yes plz!!
Definitely!
Not as exciting i can tell u that. But this channel is good on making trucking some how awesome and interesting. Keep doing the good job enjoy watching ur vid keep them coming :)
Kuddos to you Shelby. So thoughtful of you to help out. This world needs more people like you!
I miss my days OTR. Your ending on this video is what I remember trucking being like. People helped other people. Keep up the good work Truckeret. 🙂
Wow! That’s scary! Shout out to the Fire Fighters!
I've been retired from trucking since 2016.. Though I still miss it, I wish you safe travels and a long future.
Healed, delivered, protected, preserved, made whole & kept safe & sound
You did a great job helping . I am a fireman for 25vyears and people think that firemen are a pain and in the way ! I try and tell all the young firefighters that people see you as a target on the road !! So thank you for stopping and helping .
Fast becoming my fave TH-cam channel. Must be awesome cool to see so much of the countryside as you drive. Great life!
Wow you've trained her well. I can see the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, but I can't stop looking at the breathtaking scenes of nature from your travels. You should be given a ribbon for coming to the assistance of another person in distress. Truckers helping truckers. Shows just how genuine you are.
This is why every truck driver needs to have a good working CB radio in their truck. It can be used as a tool to talk with other drivers when bored or in this case, warn other drivers of what's going on ahead. Too many drivers out there nowadays don't even have one in their truck. I can't tell you how many times my CB has saved me while out on the road. Good on you for stepping up and helping out any way you could. Not many drivers now would even stop. They'd just keep going and take a video of it with their phone while driving by.
Thanks for helping the world!
Shelby, that’s awesome that you helped out where you could!! May God Bless You!
Glad you helped the driver. Oregon is so beautiful! Safe travels to you! 🙏🏻
It’s nice to see the stop and help attitude in other young people!! That’s how my family raised me and my sister, we’d always roll down windows on the highway if someone’s hood wasn’t down right or if someone was hauling a camper with a door open or something. When you take the five minutes to stop and help that will stick with you and with them for a long time and will always come back around ☺️
Young lady I drove OTR for almost 40 years and I will tell you that the days of drivers stopping to help have come and gone. I've been retired for seven years and I really don't miss it. You be safe out there because you are in a Ruthless profession.
You’re so kind for helping that truck driver. I love your vlogs as always. Keep safe fellow driver.
Great Job helping out a fellow Driver. The reflectors were a good call but a good rule of thumb is to have a reflective vest handy for night time roadside jobs like that and chaining. Be Safe & God Bless !
As a retired vol fire/rescue and EMS worker for 35 years, I’ve seen a lot. But one of the most dangerous things you can do is to be on the side of the road at accident scene. So you be extra careful in the future. I don’t want you to get hurt. May I suggest you get a reflective vest or coat you could throw on in an emergency. That would help you to be seen. I applaud you for helping out. Not many people do that anymore. If I’m ever broken down on the side of the road, I could only hope you’d be the one who’d stop to help! Keep up the vids. I’m loving them! Be safe out there!
I forgot my vest at home. This was a brand new truck and I keep it on a hook by the door and just missed it on my way out. Usually I have everything packed into my truck so I’m ready for anything
@@ShelbyHBTM Wonderful! I'm glad you have a vest! You'd make a good emergency worker! haha Take care
Am glad seeing another trucker helping a trucker.. a lot of people dont help one another
I’m currently in Utah 1 week in my trainers truck. First time I’ve been in Utah. Beautiful state! I’m glad I found your channel keep it up.
Never a dull video with you,huh?
Nice job helping out.
No more FedEx?
You will see soon 😁
Lmaoooo the commentary for Dakota is the best ! 😂😂😂
*Your cameraman is really a pro, making your journey exciting!* *I thought to mention, the trucks wheel on fire, was really something, but you might want to put a reflective vest on so the oncoming traffic can see you and maybe one of those green stick lights that can be attached to your jacket...* *thank God the firemen were able to put the fire out...one incredible seen and thank you for helping the truck driver. P.S. the scenery of the journey is breathtaking, people don't need to travel overseas, we here in the United States have it all, we're one blessed country!* *Thanks again for the video!*
It's really nice out there thanks for posting and good job helping a brother in distress God bless you and safe travels🙏🙏
Awesome to see you stopping to help. I would recommend you get some tactical flashlights that have the strobe feature for it will make it easier for people to see you. I would also recommend getting roadside flares because the only time the reflectors work is when they are hit with light. Flares, especially in this situation with all the smoke, can be seen whether light hits them or not. Might also help to have a reflective vest with battery powered strobes attached so people can see you as you're laying the triangles and flares out. I have all this in my roadside kit in my jeep I would highly recommend you do the same. Good to see everyone was okay and it didn't get worse than it did.
The dept. put out flares really close to the truck after a while. I don’t carry flares.
@@ShelbyHBTM I personally would recommend getting flares yourself just for that extra bit of safety but it's good to see you immediately thought of putting out the triangles when no one else did.
Or those LED round discs - they're bright, and also have magnets on them. A little bigger than a hockey puck, and relatively cheap. Also as mentioned above, highly suggest a reflective vest. Be safe out there!
Not to be a plug or anything and I have no affiliation with this company but would recommend even though they are kind of pricey. I work on the side of the road a lot so they come handy and are really bright. www.guardianangeldevices.com/
Nice 👍 job assisting another Trucker. Safety is so Important because the Roads are Dangerous and Deadly because of Driver “Inattentiveness”.
BKM videography is astonishing. The drone footage is out of this world. Happiness by the mile.. inspiring and rejuvenating for a seasoned trucker to watch. Keep up the good work Shelby and BKM.
I’m from WI been driving for 3 years now, my company won’t send me past Texas, that looks like an amazing drive, jealous! Stay safe out there!
Jeremy & Jen i knew a guy that drove for Millis lol nah I drive for a small company in Plymouth, WI. Service 1 Transportation. Only like 30 drivers.
Jeremy & Jen i hear ya there, landing this gig with the smaller company I’m family not a number, I’ve become great friends with my boss on a more personal level and as a bonus the pay is perfect
Love love love your videos! I’ve been looking forward to this video since there was a clip of it from your last video. Amazing work and footage!
Great to see a fellow trucker helping out another trucker in need!!! This is the way it should be !!! Good lookin out Shelby!!!!👍
female, cpa retired, military/pd family & long distance biker here. happy to have found your channel. great content, great message! always watch out for and help your road family! sending you much love & light.
Thanks for the memories. I used to live in the Columbia Gorge. Beautiful area. Crazy people ...
to many people living on top and too close...coronavirus was made to reduce the aging population induced by insurance companies and AFCA.
Love your videos! I pray that you’ll be safe out there, people just don’t pay attention while there driving anymore.. be safe❤️❤️
Way to go, an act of kindness goes along ways ,if more people would do the same,their was a time when our country was all that...sure MISS those days...
You are a very kind hearted young lady,you stay safe!!
Very cool footage!
Just for your viewers.
Realize that tires explode so judge the fire accordingly.
That was a hot one.
The intermittent explosions also indicate a mixture of products.
Great job you two!
Exciting video.
That was intense. Rain rain rain on the East coast. Great video you guys take it easy out there.
Great job and back in the old days there would have been 25 trucks on the side of the road helping that guy. You did good stay safe and warm and see you later down the road
My dad is and has been an OTR Trucker for about 30+ years! I love the truck and grew up in one most of my "pre education" life! One thing that my dad really mentions is that the old school way of trucking has changed. He says that if someone would break down, it seemed like you had a line up of men/women wanting to help. I worry about him a lot of the time BUT it really great to see that there is still kind and caring individuals looking out not only for other truckers but my old man!! Thanks for sharing this video !!
Thats really nice gesture beeing so involved in hepling others, great job a big hug from your fan:))
Want to say the cinematic shots looked great! And just amazing quality! And not to be weird but you also have very pretty eyes as well and you were also caring to stop and help out with the fire bc alot of people wouldn't have done that so mad Respect!
Oregonian here!! I 84 is such a beautiful drive! So cool to see your videos feature my state❤ thank you for all you do!
Well done Shelby and camera guy! Glad no one was hurt. Kudos for jumping in to help!
I work at a mine loading aggregate haulers, I’ve let a few of the drivers I interact with know about this channel
Oregon is beautiful. I wish I lived there.
NON 👌👌👌
Your a great kid for helping! Most truckers are. I enjoy your stories!!
She may not consider herself this, but she seems like a great recruiting person for the trucking industry... and right now people are really realizing how important the truckers are! Truckers are the heroes in this country right now and finally people are realizing how important they really are. Great video, so much beauty you can witness on the road and it was really awesome how you stepped up to assist at the trailer fire. You have a really great cameraman and thank you for your service!
It’s awesome to know you were through my neck of the woods! That part of 84 is probably the most scenic going through the gorge!
I had a trailer fire last year. Good times. Took the fire department half an hour to get there, by that time the flames were 30 feet high, lost everything! 😅
Sorry to hear that.....
Wow! That escalated quickly! 🔥 Props to y'all for doing what you could to help out!
That was very cool of you
stopping to let the driver know that his trailer brakes were on fire & setting up the triangles to warn others
U R so focused, helpful and smart. Thanks God for people like U. Love all your videos.
and the congratulation to the departament fire taht assisted fast and efective realy are heroes
I wish people would stop using the hero term for every thing, being a hero is a selfless act, that's what a Hero is, firemen fighting a fire is there job
No not Heroes, there doing there job, look up what a hero is, then you may understand
I'm glad no one was hurt and sorry that this happened, but also what an awesome opportunity for the videographer!
I don't think I had ever seen a dog eat fruit, let alone so carefully, it really is cute! Thanks so much for stopping and helping, hopefully something like that never happens to you but I sure hope people would stop to help you out too! On a last note, that toy at the end is adorable!
Man, I wish I can go do something like that. I love to travel an be a trucker, It's always something I wanted to do an because it looks so fun an awesome! An that awesome for you to take your time to help someone in that situation. Have a wonderful day. God Bless You!
Awesome video! Makes me miss my days up in the Northwest!
Your Cameraman Did a Great Job videoing the Fire. Looked very Professional quality. It was nice that you stopped and helped.
Your parents must be incredibly proud of you. I've met a lot of people in my life and I know a good one when I see her. Love your informative videos. They're helping me to decide if this is what I want to do at this stage in my life, (I'm almost 62).
This is why I carry two 20lb class D fire extinguishers. ABC extinguishers do absolutely nothing for a brake fire.
Exactly... Have to cool the brakes down to prevent/stop the fire. ABC will work on the rubber once the brakes are cool enough to not ignite or reignite the rubber.
Well that escalated quickly! Fantastic editing to there camera man!
So proud of you guys for stopping ! This is the BEST trucking channel on TH-cam .... just saying
It's so nice to see people stopping to help their fellow humans. In this case, a trucker helping a trucker, but it's beyond trucking. It's one human helping another human in need. I'm so glad everyone is ok. That fire got super intense and large! Thank you Bodi, for attempting to extinguish the fire BEFORE grabbing the camera. You also put another humans need before your own, and I respect that. Props to both of you!!! You probably saved some traffic lives at least by providing visibility......
Bub Zilla absolutely. We made sure to everything we could to help (use fire extinguisher and call 911) before the camera was even a thought. I’ll never understand the thought of recording video before helping another person. That’s beyond my morals and against my training as a police officer I guess 🤷🏻♂️
@@socal87border True that! I'm not a police officer, nor do I have any of that kind of training, but I do have a mom who instilled the same moral values. I never understood people who record instead of helping either..... That upsets me actually. So selfish. Thanks again for all you do, bro! You're truly appreciated... 🙂🙂🙂
Nice video
You need to wear something reflective at night. 🙂
Totally agree. I wish shed wear a vest driving at all times
gran fan
My dog is Dakota too. Golden retriever though. It sure makes driving Gooder.
Good job again 👍 👏 I have stopped 3 times in my life to help people and I have never regretted it. I held one girl's hand while she was pinned in her car until help arrived. So glad I did!
I've always enjoy these videos: from the banter between Shelby and Dakota, to the music that plays as they hit the road, stops/break time, as well as the Q&A's. I can't forget to mention the insight we get concerning the aforementioned TH-camr's backstory (which makes us want to know more about them).
Everyone should take a page out of Shelby's book (stopping to help and not speeding past a truck that is on fire).
The driver must have been riding on those brakes.
You need to wear some reflective vest.
Glad no one was hurt.
or a brake pod could of locked up
@@waynelandry9000 i'm thinking that's far more likely. if he was on the brakes, surely his truck brakes would go first as they do, being that the trailer brakes aren't as strong/the power favours the truck brakes over the trailer. For obvious reason :)
Or a wheel bearing......i had one go on my rear trailer about 3 year's ago,burnt it to the ground.
@@charliewoodbury9961 Or that, that makes sense. Also, can't have been a very nice experience ay
@@jonnywilson9117 100% correct his drives would lite up first
Also I hope the driver unhooked his tractor to save it!
Great training of the puppy. Nothing better than a German Shepherd that is well trained.
Thats scary glad all of you are okay! That is what we all need is people helping each other out!
