That was pretty intense..so glad Y'all are safe. Yep that was definitely a rough day. Kevin you handled it like a professional. Way to go buddy. Hang in there and Truck Safe.
Thank you!!!
thats what scares me steer tire blowout riding in a truck hope tanja feels better
Thank you!!!!
I know I wouldn't be as calm as Kevin. Pretty nerve-racking experience.
🤪😳👍
Glad you're safe.hopefully a better day tomorrow
Thank you!!!
Please, do not EVER turn your back to traffic like that. All it takes is one driver to drift 6 inches too close and wipe you out. Leave yourself an escape route if you HAVE to be on the traffic side, and always face and watch the traffic. All they see is something to slow them down. Not someone in trouble that may be out working on the problem. Facing traffic gives you at least a chance to try to get out of the way if someone gets too close. It is easy to get too focused on the problem at hand and forget about the little things like that, but those little things may save your life.
Never ever step out on the driver's side on a busy road !
Guaranteed, you won't have time to get out of the way
Yes! You are right. It was dangerous to be on the driver’s side. Even with the vest and the triangles out we had to use extreme caution and look out for traffic. Not a good situation.
Thank God you are ok
Thank you!!!!
I'm glad you guys are safe that is very dangerous also glad you didn't get put out of service and so happy you guys are okay safety safety
Thank you do much!!!!
Glad you're OK.
Thank you!!!
Glad Yall are safe..that looks scary
Thank you!
Thank goodness you are both ok
Thank you!!!
Like I often say, sometimes it's just the hand of God that guides you safely out of danger.
I love seeing Kevin's hat all the time, I went to the same school. Those old ragged out Volvos where so much fun to drive. I took the night classes so we would start off each afternoon driving around Phoenix in rush hour with people zooming all around us while the students were grinding gears and missing turns. Those instructors probably went home and got drunk every night after work but I had a blast.
Love the videos. I've been watching since the very start when you would interview Kevin after school each day.
Oh wow!!!! Exciting to hear that you’ve been along since the beginning AND went to the same school! When did you graduate? Your assessment of instructors needing stress relief sounds about right! Lol!!! Especially because most students had no idea what to do with that stick shift.
Are you driving now? Do you live in Phoenix? Thanks for your comment and being a ‘founding member’ of this community!!!

Hey guys,
I was a carpenter in Phoenix for 40 years till I retired in 2020. I got bored after a while and decided to go get my CDL. I've always wanted to drive trucks ever since I was a little kid, I just got sucked into construction work and started making too much money to quit. Anyway, I graduated and got my CDL last November. I went to work for Schneider for about a month but I didn't like it much, they had me on a dedicated account hauling tile flooring from Los Angeles around the southwest but since the loads were so heavy I had to run with a lightweight truck. They are simply a driver's seat and a little bunk to sleep in, very minimal. In January my daughter and son in law ended up buying an old fixer upper house up in Holbrook so I've been remodeling for the last few months. I should be done pretty soon and planning to go otr with Werner this summer. Maybe I'll see you around.
Thanks again for all the videos, and stay safe out there. ✌️
That's my worst fear is a steer blowout. You guys handled it like 🏆
They weren’t going to put a patch on that tire 😂 yes that was definitely a full day, glad everyone’s OK, stay safe and keep us posted
Lol!!! Definitely beyond a patch job! Lol!!!
Thank God you guys are ok .. Hod be with you out there .. be safe ❤️
Thank you!!! We were very lucky and blessed! Grateful!!! Kevin having practiced this on a simulator really really helped him handle it safely!!!
Good thing the angels go with you!!
Yes!!! 👼👼👼👼👼 Thank you!!!
Wow, soo glad you two were safe thru that. Bet you're sorry you weren't recording while it happened to catch it all unfolding. Glad you guys were safe during that.
Outstanding driver👍
Thank you!!!!
Thankfully you are both ok. That could have been a lot worse.
Hope your cold cleared up quickly.
Stay safe.
Thank you, Peter!!!
Glad everyone is safe. Main thing to remember is to Never panic and jerk the wheel. I know it's easier said than done, but everyone's first reaction is to jerk the wheel from being alarmed.
Good point!!! Thank you!!!
Amen. Glad you both are safe. Interstate Angels, we're watching over you!!. Rick
Thank you Rick!!! 👼👼👼
Holly crap. Kevin demonstrated some crazy driving skills. Cool as a cookie. Blowing a steer is pretty serious truck or car. Glad the both of you are ok. What a trip. Have a good day tomorrow and stay safe.
Thank you, Jim!!!
BTW. Good job keeping control and getting stopped safely. Steer tire issues can be nightmare material.
Thank you!!!!
Oh shit…..but anyway you guys are safe that’s all matters now be safe guys…….
Thank you!!! We are grateful!
What a day! Glad there wasn't any more problems .
Lol!!! Us too! Four in one day was enough!!!
I know this is bound to happen to all of us @ one point or another. I’m just hoping it’s not going down a hill @ 80mph 😅
Glad you guys made it out fine.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞Definitely!!!!
Cant stress enough how good your videos are. They show the reality of trucking. Kevin is an amazing driver seriously. BOSS
Thank you David!!!!!! Appreciate that!! Making us blush!
Your comment is right on!!!
@@tmo.48 Thank you!!!
I noticed you guys have been back-and-forth from Colorado area through New Mexico I currently live in New Mexico going to start for Werner next couple weeks are you guys on a certain account that you passed through here often? And I’ve been to that truck stop many times in my life traveling back n forth to California cool to see you guys in a location I know we’ll, glad you guys were ok dealing with that flat tire been watching all of you videos for a while now! Great content very informative!
Thank you!!! Happy to share what we learn! Congratulations on your career move! Kevin is in OTR48 out of Phoenix terminal. A lot will depend on when and where you ask for home time and on your fleet manager. They do have many different accounts and also regional. So talk to them about what you are looking for! Good luck! Let us know how it goes!!!
Thanks for sharing that experience and it will go on notice. It always good to have a spotter watching the traffic while you checking something on the driver side. I had a blowout once in my small pickup truck a few yrs back, but I just couldn't imagine what it would feel like in a 18 wheelers with all that weight from the back trying to regained control of this truck after a blowout. Glad you guys are ok.
Glad you are ok too!!! No matter the vehicle, a blowout is serious and dangerous!!
Glad all is safe
😃😃😃
I hope you feel better soon! Safe travels!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Glad Yous are safe great job handling that issue
Thank you!
Being an old retired trucker, that never has been fun.
Lol!! Now that’s an understatement. 😆😆😆
Yes sir (and mam) a blown steer tire will definitely get your attention!
Sure did!!!!
I’m glad both of you guys are safe . Kevin you handled it well and thanks for always sharing your experience with us .
Thank you!!! Happy to share what we learn! We hope that way others can be better prepared.
@@TheJoyofTrucking I also drive team blue and love watching the videos .
@@Yapaso23 Lol!!! Happy to hear that!! Hope to meet you on the road Team Blue! ;-))
Seems to me that Kevin handled this emergency very well . Ended as well as possible, congratulations 🎊!
Thank you, Michael!
About 7 years ago I was driving on the 210 west in Pasadena. I was in the far left lane. I heard a boom and flash to my right. A dump truck for Caltrans blew it's right steer, veered right and right over a car. Unfortunately the driver of the car lost his life.
That is so very sad. I’m glad you shared the story here. Terrible situation. So sorry the person lost their life. Hard on the dump truck driver too, having to live with that. And hard on everyone who was there and witnessed it…like you, Jim. I hope this helps viewers who read your comment understand the seriousness of this type of equipment failure. Practicing blowouts on the simulator really helped prepare Kevin. We are so grateful.
Try giving both your front tires at the same time now that is scary no steering
😳😳😳😳 Did that happen to you?
This just happened to me recently. The steering tired blow up and it pull me all way to the left lane it continues into the grass and I crashed into median the truck got pretty damage but i’m glad I was okay. It’s pretty scary tbh and I’m glad U guys are ok too
We are so grateful you are ok!!!! Sounds like that could have ended up in a rollover pretty easily. So you did good getting through it without injury to yourself or others! Thanks for sharing your story.
You handled it well. Didn't lose control and was able to get off the main road. Sucks kinda that it took Werner an hour to get back to you. But, could have been worse.
Thanks!! Corporate wheels turn slowly. 😉
That looks like Bridgestone tire 283a
Lol!!!! You know tires!!??! The new ones were Continentals. Don’t remember the brand of the one that blew, so we’ll go with your conclusion. :-)))
If your tires were pretty new, I wonder if there was a bad batch and that's why Werner wanted both replaced. I've been lucky, 23 years of driving and never had a steer blow. Had 2 go flat, but was parked both times.
WOW!!! That is lucky!!! You are blessed!! May it stay that way!!!
How common do you think this situation (steer tire blowout) is? Every driver at some point (just a matter of time)? Or less often .. luck (or unluck) of the draw? Enjoying the channel. Stay safe!
We think it’s luck of the draw. Not an eventuality. Especially if you always check your tires properly, have good quality tires and keep them properly inflated. Having practiced on the simulator really helped Kevin handle the situation. I hope you get a chance on one. Otherwise, know what to do but then don’t worry about it. Hope that helped ease your mind. 😃
Hello Sir, question, watching this video from the time you was at werner, and had this blowout. When you had the blowout, I know you don't push down on the brakes to slow you down, but other than taking your foot off the accelerator, can you engage the Jake brakes to slow you down?
Safet getting out passenger side, but where's the three-point contact backing out of the truck?
Good thing to be aware of indeed!
Adult Video store near truck stop. Lol.
You saw it!! We thought it was funny (and sad)!! The letters sure are big so you can see it all the way from truck parking!
Yes, need to get rid of the filthy dog truckers and replace with clean ones. I know what I'm talking about.
Y'all got lucky on that one .....time for a new tractor i think 🤔🤣...or at least gomwhere its warm and get a truckwash ....hope your cold gets better soon ....Kenny Riggs is a filthy mess 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Lol!!! Filthy indeed!!! We’ll gladly head somewhere warm for a good scrub down. Thanks, Kirk…we are all on the mend.
How is RoadMaster CDL school. The Driving Academy is horrible, they don’t train you, they put you in a broken down truck, with horrible brakes. They put me in a truck and walked away as I tryed to figure things out by myself. 30 students to 3 trucks. $4,400 for the school to give you horrible training. You ask questions and they treat you like your dumb. Just a horrible 1st week experience.
Hi Shawn, so about Roadmaster. Well yes they are good but before you sight on the dotted line consider a few items. It's expensive seven thousand dollars, there is less expensive out there . You have 4 weeks to earn your CDL there a lot of knowledge thrown at you very quickly. One week will be decated to classroom and getting your class A permit. The balance is yard movemers , none of this is easy as it sounds or they make it out to be . Get you DOT medical and have your permit before you start my advice also start learning the pre - trip process all this information is on line . This is very excelarated if in 4weeks you don't have your license your out 7thousand and will not train you any further. The recruiter will not tell you this information. Yes they will pay for school if you pa
ss and if you drive for them . Just do all your research and go into this with you eyes wide open and don't let them sell you a bill of goods or empty to good to be true promises. Best wishes!
So sorry your school isn’t doing a better job! Kevin’s school wasn’t particularly impressive either. We don’t know about Roadmaster personally, but have spoken with drivers who said it was a good experience with lots of wheel time and learning other skills. Our guess is that with the less expensive schools you have to be pro-active and pushy. Don’t let it discourage you!!! Most 4 week schools just focus on getting you to pass the test to get your CDL. So a lot of the learning is up to you.
Sorry this happened :(
Thank you!!! 🙏
bro, what speed that blow out happened? also, were u on cruise control? if so , did you disable the cruise? did you ever use speed pedal to compensate with the drag? thanks
Thanks for watching and your questions! Kevin was going 65 miles per hour. He was coming into Albuquerque with lots of traffic, so kept it at 65 and was probably not on cruise control because of that. He stepped on the brakes immediately, so even if he would have been, that disengages cruise control immediately. He did not step on the gas pedal again. Only the brakes. The simulator blow out episode really helped prepare him!! Kudos to Werner on that!
So I’m sure you ran out of driving time. What happens if that happens
The clock split. We also could have taken personal conveyance to get to the nearest safe haven.
@James G Understanding DOT clock is not easy. You can split your clock after 2 hours off duty in the sleeper and keep your driving hours. If you run out of time you can use personal conveyance to get to a nearest safe haven, even with a load. But that should be a rare occurrence!
Is that in new mexico??
Yes. Albuquerque, NM.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
😃🙏
What's the big deal ? No drama there, it's a flat tire not a blow out ? You wouldn't know what to do with a real blow out at 70 miles an hour .
Did you watch the video? But you’re right…Kevin was ‘only’ going 65mph.
Troll !
Snarky ol bat, go back to sleep.
