If drivers would keep off each others asses you wouldn’t need a cb. I’ve driven 29 yrs and I use my cb when I want to know what the hold up is. I don’t tail gate and amazingly I’ve never been in a pile up and I drive in all conditions often at faster speeds than others, but I do it cautiously and never run in a pack, because there’s always a selfish jack wad that will create a pileup with his herky jerkey whip out at the last second maneuver.

@@johnstarks5323so now a trucker is supposed to watch a video or read the Internet to get traffic information? Oh boy that's not a bright idea at all.
I had an accident with two semis happen on the I-15 in Southern California early this year. I was near the front and everyone stopped but I knew they were going to shut it down so i drove on the shoulder to get past. Smartest thing I’ve did. Both lanes were shut down for about 5 hours. The I-15 and the I-40 always bad accidents. People getting worse at driving. I know who it is too but I won’t say anything smh America needs to do better
If they exercised they'd be up for the physical challenge and become flatbedders. But flatbedding is too physical so they settle for van and reefer and a puffy and fluffy pot belly.
Mostly the faster you drive…. Bigger crashes. In some places the I/40 has lots of problems on the surface. Slow down drivers. Thanks Alex for the update.
Glad i missed the traffic jam. Came across there Wednesday afternoon doing a San Pedro Ca to KC Missouri. Froze in KC and currently warm and rainy in Houston Tx.
I've had issues with semis parked on the shoulder and pulling out cutting off drivers doing highway speeds. Sometimes I barely got over had to cut off people in other lane. It's happening often and prevalent in NM. Be careful! 🧐
I seen a flip flop p o s getting pulled out of the snow with a wrecker. With flip flops on. Glad I’m getting ready to retire. Lucky I started in mid seventies
That's business as usual in I40 New México. I always drive through there at night because there is always something going on there in the day and there are no detours.
Alex, have you ever considered running a drone to add to some of your podcasts? Would have been interesting here. We just got out of an hour (accident) backup on I44 in MO. Bad day for drivers today, but hopefully no one was hurt.
I'll be heading west to Arizona tomorrow. I'm currently holed up in Las Vegas, NM. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still backed up when I pass through.
Wow this is why i always carry my five gallon bucket with a good tight fitting lid on it and plenty of can food and snacks with me because you can get trapped wear there's no toilet and no way to move at least you can relive your self while stuck in traffic jams
Hey Alex good seeing you thanks for the hot dog. The 225 had a Small army fixing potholes at the z225. It was backed up 40 miles. bo accidents just three potholes
Thank you for keeping us updated, when I talk to my fellow truck drivers they look at me in amazement because of all the information I give them, but little do they know I get it from mutha truckers lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Feel for you all. It’s a hard life, I used to cross north to south back & forth 1,000 miles each way, to help take care of father, for years. Almost every trip had a huge delay, for one reason or another. The patience of the truckers, with all the shenanigans on the highways, especially around St. Louis & Nashville. I always tried to time those two, cause their infrastructure sucks. Driving is so hard on the body, and the conditions of the interstates needs so much work in states with bad weather. Hope the “business” conditions improve, I just hate what conglomerates have done to us.
I think Mutha Trucker should buy a helicopter 🚁 so when something like this happens he should be able to fly and inform us. God bless you Mutha Trucker for what you do for us.
This is not the first time a freeway closes due to a wreck. These backups happen all the time, but most of the time they are not posted on TH-cam or Facebook X. Take a nap, they will wake you up when traffic starts rolling. Could be a couple hours, could be a day or 2. But one thing is for sure, they will not tell you folks in the back up how long it will be. You'll get to figure that out once traffic gets rolling. Then you'll get to figure out how long it was that you had to sit. Enjoy you're nap.
I saw a bad 1 on I-44 EB near Sullivan, MO Looked like the guy's cab got knocked off the frame & wedged between the median wall & another semi, also caused a chain reaction, a bunch of cars involved
Its this FAILURE to pay attention that is making me HATE driving even more. I have been here 20 years now, and the last 5 have been the worst, and unti DOT starts inforcing laws and cracking down on these companies and States that sell CDLs it just gonna get worse
This is exactly why DOT keeps placing more and more restrictions on us . Wake up Fellow Drivers this so angers us that are trying to be safe and make our money.
Not to be rude but you guys need to loose some weight. Glad I'm retired from that biz. Also, that's why your CB radio is a HUGE help. Use them truckers. Don't be left wondering why shit happens & you're stuck somewhere for hrs.
I would say construction connected. Way too many drivers do not obey speed limits in construction zones. Heck I would side with get caught speeding in construction zones 3 or more times then suspension of license and fines, and or prison time. Way to many road workers getting killed due to stupidity.
@@jpw7598 one death due to neglect is a problem. Not sure you seen the hard hats and crosses being put along the road side lately marking where a road worker or workers was killed. Hit a cone going 55 mph plus is enough force if that cone hit someone could easily kill them.
@jacquescott3968 It's still best to have one. True, most don't use it. However, it's saved me more than I can count. I've been alone on a self-detoured road watching countless trucks sit helplessly for probably hours that were parallel to me breezing by. Paid to move. Not to sit.
Good job Alex we got to talk about the construction zone brother driver are ( not) paying attention or not repecting the zone sadly you will get bad out come
It’s because NM DOT waits until the holiday season to fill cracks! Or that is what they’ve been doing recently. The Governor must have granted overtime.
That's a familiar occurrence for me. Last mystery (and it was a mystery) in that general area for me was about a year ago now. Mass traffic re-route up Defiance Draw Road up to and across 267 to 491 down to Gallup so I could continue my roll eastbound. No shortcuts there🤨😉

It's the trucker way
They're outta breath cuz it's in the elevations. I run and workout and in the elevations I die. 5000 feet I'm suckin wind
Yeap. I was in the Air Force there. We all struggled with that damn 1.5 mile run for the PT test. 😂
Yeah I couldn't because they're massively overweight😮
Being 200 pounds overweight had nothing to do with it. It was the elevation…..

Gotta love it, when drivers try to show who has the best story
What happen to using CB radios so at least the eastbound traffic should know what's going on up ahead 🤷
That’s a blast from the past my friend.😢
Because these companies are desperate to get drivers(new drivers) into trucks. Not educational training anymore. Alot don't speak English as well.
@@manmind9523Not really! They have one and don't use it or just can't afford to buy one.
Must be blast from they past I keep a cb radio 247
Too many truck drivers don't speak English.
Damn. I was lucky. Stopped at Tucumcari. Didn’t have to deal with this shit.
There's always some BS going down on i40 in AZ and NM
As a truck driver to the world did you guys see the sky in the back ground. Us as truck drivers call that peace..... keep trucking too the world stops
Perfect time for all us drivers to take a break……maybe see who moves this country!
Like Amazon Warehouse New York!
Thank goodness I got moving at 3 am his morning
Truckers, get out and exercise you should no be out of breathe after minimal excercise. We have to do better people.
I hear you on that one ,
If they exercised they'd be up for the physical challenge and become flatbedders. But flatbedding is too physical so they settle for van and reefer and a puffy and fluffy pot belly.
I started having this problem after I got covid. I was a really active guy up till then, now I run out of breath doing anything😮💨
Yep covid would have people run out of breath for sure ,build immune system exercise I went through it a little better,after years.
@Roger-fs5yo I went trough the same scenario and build immune ,after years I still have issues

I had the same thing happen on I-40 in Tennessee near Nashville. Was stuck there for about 5 hours.
What happened? Did someone realize they missed the free hotdogs and tried to pull a U-ey the middle of the freeway
Wow that's is insane
