I am now 68 years old and retired from trucking in 2005. Did a similar thing chaining and was also over Donna except I hit my jawline and actually broke it and was wired shut for 6 weeks. Your throwing chains is impressive. Take care of yourself and feel better.
Oh I’m so sorry that happened to you. I not sure what you hit your head on but you should have went to the ER. Head Trauma is nothing to take lightly. I’m glad you your doing well. I had significant head injuries in the past ( not from trucking) so I know how bad things can get. Don’t feel shame we are glad you’re still here.
I am a female tanker yanker…and I just want to say your a bad ass! I refuse to go over I-80 during the winter because I don’t want to chain or deal with surge in those conditions. Your like super woman lol. And your the first woman trucker that’s actually trucking that I’ve watched on TH-cam…keep on trucking…your awesome..🚛💨☺️☺️
Why did you do that.. beating up the trailer with your face isnt a good idea sweetness..❤I worked out of Sacramento for 4yrs... very pretty.. i remember snow ball fight on the freeway when it shut down going over that one night.. Snow higher than the sidemirrors on each side..
Nothing embarrassing about taking a hit working a rig. Your literally killing it as a young woman in a mens industry. God speed and keep up the positive videos. My dad was a driver for 30yrs. And ive been working towards it myself.
Oh my Shelby! That is one nasty bump 😮 Always get a head injury checked out. As someone who has multiple concussions, I can tell you that symptoms don’t always appear right away. You may think you’re fine initially, but you never want to take any chances. You have a dangerous job and you are in the truck alone. Please see a doctor to be sure you are okay! Prayers for a quick recovery! ❤🙏🏻
I agree.. Next time take it slow. And if you see an emergency professional, stop and have the ent come out and check you out. Nothing wrong with bieng modest. It could save your life.
I’m a state plow driver, we appreciate smart and safe truckers like you! Sorry about your injury, keep driving forward 💪🏼 Beautiful voice, makes your videos even better.
Everyone should know what we deal with in trucking. I livestream 24hrs sunday thru Thursday. Sleepberth and driving as we can with cell service available. Its not always a easy job Shelby. I give you credit for showing everyone your accident.
So sorry you got injured! That’s the thing…on your own…you had to pull yourself together to keep going. And you did…and down snowy Donner Pass on top of it. Very impressive. You have GRIT!!! Thanks for putting up the video. It’s real and people need to see ALL sides of trucking and life’s journey! Sending you healing vibes!!!
Shelby, You can at times (thru the years that I've kind a know you threw YT) be hard on yourself, even in the beginning of this video Dakota was trying to calm you down (yes I know Dakota is a give me attention seeker, but our 4 legged family members know when need Love) You are an amazing person with so much positivity that you try at times too hard on yourself. You should NOT be embarrassed, 1 of your many goals for even having your YT channel was to educate the younger folks and maybe some older 1's, so this is was a teaching moment, and although you got a George Forman shiner, you still look amazing. You and your 4 legged co-driver truckem up safe and as always Keep the rubber side down.
You're one badass chica driving those conditions/ chaining like that! Not easy for anyone. It's refreshing to see an ambitious and capable young lady with serious grit in this day and age. Our country needs lots more ladies (and guys for that matter) like you as we head into tougher economic times. Prayers for healing coming your way.
It hurts me that you got hurt. It's not easy, girl. We feel immortal until we don't and this job reminds us of this more frequently than we'd like. I fell out my truck, slipped on the last step, and hit the ground on my back. A couple veins busted in my leg and never healed right.
Glad i watched it to the end. I gashed my head once putting on a drag chain. Smacked it going under the trailer to the other side..... bled a lot, but didn't hurt much. 73 now and retired, but your vids get me emotional! To a true 'hopeless' truck driver, that spirit never leaves. It shows in you, more than some others. Stay safe!
Dont feel bad Shelby, most people would've quit and gone to the hospital. You should be proud, your positive attitude and spirit while obivusly in pain is admireble! Keep trucking, and remember; this too will pass.
Being an old timer ( 36 years out here), it's fun watching a young gal like you busting it as hard as we did back in the day ( well we hit it a little harder running 3 or 4 log books) 😁, but you're doing a great job. A young ranch gal I worked with in the Wyoming gas fields would throw 3 railer chains better than most of the guys, and she wouldn't accept help from anybody. Be safe young lady.
Shelby! I’ve been trucking for 12 years and I have seen all kinds of drivers out here. You make me proud because I know for certain that you are a Real one! Keep up the great job 👏👏👏
Wow that was a hard hit. Glad you are better now. As a retired flat bedder I have had my hits and bumps along the way, no matter how safe you are it happens. Be safe and be good God Bless you for what you do. From Bobby
Keep Your chin up Shelby, You inspire us with Your positive attitude and determination. I’m semi retired after approx. 40 or so years on the road, many trips over Donner with doubles still gives me the chills. Hope You are feeling better, give Dakota a big hug for us….
Really glad you are ok. That was a NASTY bump. I have been made fun of for it, but I started wearing a hard hat (a bump cap would probably be better) when I was working around and under the truck for that exact reason. I am a lot taller than you are too so I tend to hit the underside of the trailer a lot more when messing with chains. It has saved my head multiple times. As for the getting those chains tight. Unless you have the hook tool that grabs the hook and pulls it through, it is almost impossible to get them as tight as you want them to be on all the wheels. But one way to get them a bit tighter is to go one hook more or less on the inside and yank like crazy to get a little more to play with on the outside. And a major issue with that type of chain is that even a little bit more wear on one tire than the others means you may not be able to get the same link as on the other tires. Your drive tires wear un evenly because of the scrubbing when you are turning and the different weight distribution between the front and rear drive axles. Unless they are brand new tires, usually the front axle will have a slightly larger tire circumfrence and can make the chains have a difference of anywhere between 1 and 3 links.
I saw you at Fedex GR. In NSL and …if you came til here with all your up’s and downs…for me …you are a strong person, a real trucker and wonderful soul. Keep going and never give up.
Wow, glad you are ok. Make sure you don't have any light headedness after that. Also....Nellie loves seeing and hearing Dakota and says Rooof Rooof back.
Oh my, Shelby, I'm so sorry you injured yourself. From the looks of that shiner 4 days later, I'm sure it hurt like the dickens. Just make sure there are no lasting effects, like a concussion. I know I don't comment a lot, but I really do enjoy your videos, and I appreciate all the time and effort you spend in potting them together and posting them. Thank you, Shelby, take care, and please be careful and stay safe.
You are a dedicated trucker and I admire you for that. However, your health is the most important. I am glad that you are doing better, and pray you heal soon.
Holy Moly, Shelby!!!! Hope you're feeling better now!! I hope you "actually" went to get checked out. Head injuries are very serious!! Take it easy and looking forward to your next video. So all of us can check up on you!!
I love the positivity you had during your whole ordeal. I'm glad your home safe and sound and are able to recover for a little bit. I appreciate all the things you do.
You’re a strong woman 💪🏾😅…. In my 5 years of being in the Fire and EMS service, it’s always a great thing to get your head checked out the same day it happened because your mental status can change in a heart beat but im glad you’re ok and wasn’t anything worse.. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Hey Shelby, I really love watching your videos and view them every chance I get, but I certainly don't like seeing you hurt like that, I do hope you are feeling better and that black eye has faded away and your back to your beautiful self again. Greetings and Kind Regards from Downunder Australia 🇦🇺. Take care and look yourself and Dakota and remember Happiness By The Mile !!! AJ.
Fun in the snow! The thing about chaining up is that you always do it in bad weather. Never easy! Winter weather is beautiful, but hazardous. Stay safe!
You are an amazing trucker. Make sure you get checked out. Better safe than sorry and don't feel embarrassed, it happens to the best of us. SHELBY STRONG !!!
And I’m not sure if this fully counts as a head injury, but I’ve been there done that with hydrocephalus and grade 3 brain hemorrhaging and thankfully lived to tell the tale.
Ouch!! Glad you are ok my friend. Please make sure you get this checked out. Head trauma is no joke. One look at me would be the definition of head trauma,lol. You dont want that! You've got to be crazy to do this job. Kudos on making it over like an old trooper. Be safe. Peace.
Hey don't be to hard on yourself, you do a great job I'm highly impressed with your skills, I'm a 37 yr trucking veteran and you are a great trucker. My only advice even though you can, is to stop walking under the trailer not a good habit to get in. 🤠
Omg girl! You are so much braver than I. Trucking in the winter is bad enough just doing regional from out of WI and going home weekly but going thru mountains and chaining and everything else in that arena is too scarey for this 61 yr old, 3 yrs experience, grandmother. It gets tough just driving in such crap, having snow under an empty , king pin release not working, wiper issues, front camera covered in snow/ice knocking out any cruise option, trying to keep windows from fogging without cooking to death, knocking ice off trailer door hinges or trying to, just to get doors open, trying to pull king pin handle on ice, move tandems back at receiver on snow n ice... impossible...etc. etc etc You are absolutely amazing and then more amazing to me! I'm so glad it wasn't more serious. Praying for safe travels for all of us. 🩷
That looks very painful! Glad you’re ok. My first time chaining up in Oregon I broke my finger. The pain just made everything more frustrating when I made mistakes of putting my chains on inside out and backwards. They were those crappy cable chains from my company. After I got them all on right, I checked the current chain up order…and they ended it! So I took my chains back off and drove through Deadman Pass. I didn’t realize at the time that I had a hairline fracture in my finger, but it hurt for 2 months!
Wow girl, new subscriber here. You can see the swelling on your head quite a bad bump you had there! You can tell you were in pain, the eyes showed it. What a trooper you are, you're such a positive tough lady! 😊 Bravo handling that rig in those conditions I wouldn't have wanted to drive in it at all 🤭
Shelby I am not a trucker and never will be. What brings me to your channel is the scenery, the music and your persaverance to get things done. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Great videos to watch; thank you! Thanks also for being honest and transparent ... it's very cool to see what trucking is really like. Glad you're okay!
I hope you’re doing okay Shelby.. I’ve been watching your vlogs since you pretty much started and you always came across as so cheerful and full of life.. lately tho, it seems like your energy has been down.. you just don’t seem as happy as you have in the past.. anywho, I will always continue to support your vlogs as they come across my feed..
Holy shit! The swelling at the end is mind blowing! Wow! I know it’s embarrassing for you, but I kinda wish you’d have added the clip of what happened, bc I’m not understanding what could’ve happened to have caused all that. And I think it would’ve been good to show people the kinds of mistakes that can be made. But, Geez. It might be embarrassing, but look at it like a battle scar. You got that doing work. Real work. You’re a fuckin trooper Shelby! A fuckin trooper! I think it’s attractive to see a woman own some shit like that. Lol I’m a grown ass man, and I think that would’ve had my ass in tears hahaha. I’m glad you’re ok.
Sorry you got hurt chaining up, hopfully you are much better now. I drove out of Reno for years, I know about chaining over Donner as I have plenty of times. Enjoy watching your video, not that you got hurt. This is the first time I have seen you and your videos, I hope to watch more of them. Take care, be careful out there and be safe.
Love the video! A suggestion for next time make sure the hooks are facing out instead of in. Less chance of an accidental tire puncture. Hope your noggin feels better soon!
I have admiration for your work ethic. I was almost killed years ago while chaining up. Never again. The chains in my box are brand new, and they'll stay that way. If it's that slippery then we don't belong out there. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work girl!
I am so sorry for you Shelby! I hope you feel better soon! Here in Europe, every trucker, whether self-employed or not, would have gone straight to the doctor and not only had a comprehensive check-up for free or little money, but as an employee also got as many paid sick days as necessary. But unfortunately, the richest country in the world has a health system that the third world would be ashamed of. Yes, I know, from the point of view of some old, white Americans, we here in the rest of the world are all socialists and communists.... I hope you get well soon Shelby! Your fans are worried about you!
I have driven over Donner Summit weekly for the last 8+ years and still love seeing the view. No matter the time of year, weather, the traffic... there is always something to like. Last year was so challenging, but this video brings back some great memories.
Appreciate you sharing everything you can't get more real than that and that's why I watch you is because you are no b.s. and tell it like it is and because you are gorgeous!
I keep watching these trucker vlogs lately and I'm getting more and more motivated to get into it. I'm 35 this year and I've always had trouble finding what I've wanted to do got a living. I joined the army and figured out it wasn't for me. I've been working at a good company making good money operating a brake press for years now and I'm so bored. I hate seeing the same press every day. The more I watch these, I find that this is more of a life for me. I enjoy being alone and I'm happy to work alone. Thanks for posting these. You help me stay motivated. I'm currently fixing my life that I ruined after being a drug addict for so long. Anyways, thanks for doing what you do and for helping us see what it's really like out there. Stay safe and happy! :)
If you are single definitely do it. If you are not single or have a family. Still do it. You can find jobs where you’re home everyday or if you really want to be over the road then I’m sure you can make it work. I have no clue what I want to do with my life/career, then again I’m 19 and maybe I’ll never fully know what I want to do in life but I went and pulled the trigger and I’m starting school at the beginning of march and I couldn’t be more excited.
Do it. I have a buddy who gets off from probation next month and I'm taking him out on the truck for a couple weeks. He is 120 days drug free but has nothing, and as a friend, I'd like to see him succeed.
My dad always told me a passport is the key to the world. I'll tell you, a CDL is the key to employment. You will never have a problem finding a job, with a CDL.
Just found your channel and have watched a few episodes. I like the artistry in your images and editing, and your taste in music and sound track selection. I admire your editorial courage in posting the tough parts, and your strength (both physical and emotional) in persevering despite adversity. Thank you for your filmmaking.
God Bless You - Been following you for a while now. I Think that you are a fantastic young woman and I appreciate all that truck drivers go through to make their deliveries. Stay safe out there.
Holy Moly. I think the last 2 videos' headlines has never made me click a video faster "Stalker" and "Accident". I wish for a speedy recovery! Take care of yourself and hope to see a post from you soon
Been almost 20 years since I was behind the wheel ... and videos like this remind me why I don't miss it. Always hated Donner Pass especially the east end. Hope your head was OK.
Thank God for small favors you are all right! Take real good care and get rest! Dakota you are the best co-driver out there! I have never seen Donner during winter and snow! Beautiful for sure!
You definitely don’t have anything to be embarrassed about! It’s a hazard of the job. I’ve been there. Gave myself a black eye sliding my tandems once. 😅 It was an older trailer with a lever, that kept getting stuck. When I finally got it free it yanked me forward and I smacked my face against the bottom of the trailer. 😩😅 The important thing is you are ok!! 🖤🖤 I hope you are feeling better, and I just want you to know I look up to you so much!! Thank you for creating these videos, and giving a girl like me the courage to keep driving!! 🤘🏽🖤
Shelby as far as I am concerned as a person you are second to none. You are truly amazing. Sorry you got hurt. Hope you heal real soon. Take care of yourself. God bless.
Oh my!! I could tell you were hurting in the video. Your right, its not pretty sometimes. You took that better than alot of people would have. Hope you feel better soon. Enjoying your channel. Video production is excellent!
I'm sorry that happened to you. Once I saw that bump, I was super worried about you driving by yourself. Glad you made it okay. Rest up and get better soon.
Hope you are feeling better by now. I hit my head the exact same way. I ALWAYS wear my hat backwards but I had my snow hood up so I needed the bill forward. Even at home hit my head on stuff standing up with a forward facing bill. . Now I always wear a beanie when chaining. It is so relieving and scary when it drains down. You are devastatingly gorgeous even with a shinner. Thank you for keeping it real and showing the true glory of the road. Especially the part about dealing with shitty chains. Most drivers just assume all chains are good. I have not tried the pewag chains yet, but I will now. Cheers
You get better! You are a strong Person!! I know just seeing that snow and coldness OTR isn't for me!! Get better and stay positive I love watching you and Dakota!!

A few years behind you, had an ocular stroke in May of '21, my OTR and chaining days are OVER.
I ducked a bear trap that slipped out of my hand and facked my sciatic for like 11 mos. I should have let it hit me in the face.
@@RiverRatWA57 hope you are well!
Oh I’m so sorry that happened to you. I not sure what you hit your head on but you should have went to the ER. Head Trauma is nothing to take lightly. I’m glad you your doing well.

I am a female tanker yanker…and I just want to say your a bad ass! I refuse to go over I-80 during the winter because I don’t want to chain or deal with surge in those conditions. Your like super woman lol. And your the first woman trucker that’s actually trucking that I’ve watched on TH-cam…keep on trucking…your awesome..🚛💨☺️☺️
Awww thank you ☺️
I will say it Donner Pass sucks especially when it’s snowing. Seen so much crazy crap on I80 before I moved from Reno in 2016.
Same. I will not go in that area in winter. YOU ARE A BADDIE bih!!!
Tanker yanker? 😅
Why did you do that.. beating up the trailer with your face isnt a good idea sweetness..❤I worked out of Sacramento for 4yrs... very pretty.. i remember snow ball fight on the freeway when it shut down going over that one night..

In case you haven't been told in a while, I appreciate what you do to keep our nation moving.
Oh my Shelby! That is one nasty bump 😮 Always get a head injury checked out. As someone who has multiple concussions, I can tell you that symptoms don’t always appear right away. You may think you’re fine initially, but you never want to take any chances. You have a dangerous job and you are in the truck alone. Please see a doctor to be sure you are okay!

I hope you see a specialist like a neurologist and ent. Be well.
I agree.. Next time take it slow. And if you see an emergency professional, stop and have the ent come out and check you out. Nothing wrong with bieng modest. It could save your life.
Yeah one time I hit my head and I didn’t get it checked out and I was dizzy for like 2 weeks it was horrible
Yeah, I’m thinking concussion, bless her heart.
You are doing great. I retired 2 years ago and going nuts after 50 years of truck driving. It is very hard to stop. Hang in there. Doing great
I’m a state plow driver, we appreciate smart and safe truckers like you!
Sorry about your injury, keep driving forward 💪🏼

I would of already been to the hospital crying and complaining about the pain😂
Yeah, tough as nails! 💪
How’s your head?
going on 41 years in trucking, I have a TON OF RESPECT FOR YOU SHELBY!!! You are awesome.
I really appreciate that. That means the world to me to have veterans like you see the effort I put in out here :)
So sorry you got injured! That’s the thing…on your own…you had to pull yourself together to keep going. And you did…and down snowy Donner Pass on top of it. Very impressive. You have GRIT!!!

I seen your face on an advertisement for motor oil at my local Love’s TruckStop
I said out loud with no one around me
“Hey, I know her”.
😂❤😂
If more truckers on the road were like you, it would be a much safer place. Stay warm and safe and keep up the great work, hope the eye gets better.
So happy you are doing better! It was scary to see the bump on your head getting bigger as your video continued. Big hugs to you!
Keep Your chin up Shelby, You inspire us with Your positive attitude and determination. I’m semi retired after approx. 40 or so years on the road, many trips over Donner with doubles still gives me the chills. Hope You are feeling better, give Dakota a big hug for us….

Greetings and Kind Regards from Downunder Australia 🇦🇺. Take care and look yourself and Dakota and remember Happiness By The Mile !!!
AJ.
Thanks for sharing/posting. There's on shame in a battle scare. Keep on trucking!
Please be careful Shelby. We've lost two drivers in our area in the last week or so to accidents on the road.
OMG, I hope you get better soon! Much respect to you and all truckers.
Fun in the snow! The thing about chaining up is that you always do it in bad weather. Never easy! Winter weather is beautiful, but hazardous. Stay safe!

Ouch, hopefully you have a speedy recovery from that head injury, that probably hurts like hell! 😮
And I’m not sure if this fully counts as a head injury, but I’ve been there done that with hydrocephalus and grade 3 brain hemorrhaging and thankfully lived to tell the tale.
I hope you get better soon, I enjoy watching your videos 😀👍👍
Ouch!! Glad you are ok my friend. Please make sure you get this checked out. Head trauma is no joke. One look at me would be the definition of head trauma,lol. You dont want that! You've got to be crazy to do this job. Kudos on making it over like an old trooper. Be safe. Peace.
Thank you for a another amazing video!!!! Feel better soon! You are truly a beautiful inspiration!! God bless you and Dakota always!!❤️🌻🙏🏼🫶🏼
Wow, you are such a trooper. Sending healing energies your way and also thankful for the supportive comments that are already rolling in💗
Definitely get it checked out!! Head injury is not a joke, it’s better to be safe than sorry 🙏🙏🙏
Be careful girl, stay safe out there!
Stay SAFE out there Shelby!!

It gets tough just driving in such crap, having snow under an empty , king pin release not working, wiper issues, front camera covered in snow/ice knocking out any cruise option, trying to keep windows from fogging without cooking to death, knocking ice off trailer door hinges or trying to, just to get doors open, trying to pull king pin handle on ice, move tandems back at receiver on snow n ice... impossible...etc. etc etc
You are absolutely amazing and then more amazing to me! I'm so glad it wasn't more serious. Praying for safe travels for all of us. 🩷
Get better soon Shelby, your super tough. Awesome job on toughing out that trip out despite the injury ❤️🙏💯
Safe travels trucking Shelby and Dakota
That looks very painful! Glad you’re ok. My first time chaining up in Oregon I broke my finger. The pain just made everything more frustrating when I made mistakes of putting my chains on inside out and backwards. They were those crappy cable chains from my company. After I got them all on right, I checked the current chain up order…and they ended it! So I took my chains back off and drove through Deadman Pass. I didn’t realize at the time that I had a hairline fracture in my finger, but it hurt for 2 months!
Wow girl, new subscriber here. You can see the swelling on your head quite a bad bump you had there! You can tell you were in pain, the eyes showed it. What a trooper you are, you're such a positive tough lady! 😊 Bravo handling that rig in those conditions I wouldn't have wanted to drive in it at all 🤭
Thank you for sharing this experience. Your strength and perseverance is admirable! Best wishes in all you do.
Shelby I am not a trucker and never will be. What brings me to your channel is the scenery, the music and your persaverance to get things done. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kindness and thanks for being here
@@ShelbyHBTM i love watching your trucking videos on your youtube chanel
Great videos to watch; thank you! Thanks also for being honest and transparent ... it's very cool to see what trucking is really like. Glad you're okay!
Wow, take care of yourself, you're one very tough Lady! Get better!
I hope you’re doing okay Shelby.. I’ve been watching your vlogs since you pretty much started and you always came across as so cheerful and full of life.. lately tho, it seems like your energy has been down.. you just don’t seem as happy as you have in the past.. anywho, I will always continue to support your vlogs as they come across my feed..
Thank you so much 😊
I’m sorry about your eye and I hope you will feel better.Wish you health and all the best.Thank you for the video.
Holy shit! The swelling at the end is mind blowing! Wow! I know it’s embarrassing for you, but I kinda wish you’d have added the clip of what happened, bc I’m not understanding what could’ve happened to have caused all that. And I think it would’ve been good to show people the kinds of mistakes that can be made. But, Geez. It might be embarrassing, but look at it like a battle scar. You got that doing work. Real work. You’re a fuckin trooper Shelby! A fuckin trooper! I think it’s attractive to see a woman own some shit like that. Lol I’m a grown ass man, and I think that would’ve had my ass in tears hahaha. I’m glad you’re ok.
Sorry you got hurt chaining up, hopfully you are much better now. I drove out of Reno for years, I know about chaining over Donner as I have plenty of times. Enjoy watching your video, not that you got hurt. This is the first time I have seen you and your videos, I hope to watch more of them. Take care, be careful out there and be safe.
Love the video! A suggestion for next time make sure the hooks are facing out instead of in. Less chance of an accidental tire puncture. Hope your noggin feels better soon!
I have admiration for your work ethic. I was almost killed years ago while chaining up. Never again. The chains in my box are brand new, and they'll stay that way. If it's that slippery then we don't belong out there. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work girl!
I am so sorry for you Shelby! I hope you feel better soon! Here in Europe, every trucker, whether self-employed or not, would have gone straight to the doctor and not only had a comprehensive check-up for free or little money, but as an employee also got as many paid sick days as necessary. But unfortunately, the richest country in the world has a health system that the third world would be ashamed of. Yes, I know, from the point of view of some old, white Americans, we here in the rest of the world are all socialists and communists.... I hope you get well soon Shelby! Your fans are worried about you!
I have driven over Donner Summit weekly for the last 8+ years and still love seeing the view. No matter the time of year, weather, the traffic... there is always something to like. Last year was so challenging, but this video brings back some great memories.
Appreciate you sharing everything you can't get more real than that and that's why I watch you is because you are no b.s. and tell it like it is and because you are gorgeous!
I keep watching these trucker vlogs lately and I'm getting more and more motivated to get into it. I'm 35 this year and I've always had trouble finding what I've wanted to do got a living. I joined the army and figured out it wasn't for me. I've been working at a good company making good money operating a brake press for years now and I'm so bored. I hate seeing the same press every day. The more I watch these, I find that this is more of a life for me. I enjoy being alone and I'm happy to work alone. Thanks for posting these. You help me stay motivated. I'm currently fixing my life that I ruined after being a drug addict for so long. Anyways, thanks for doing what you do and for helping us see what it's really like out there. Stay safe and happy! :)
Do it
If you are single definitely do it. If you are not single or have a family. Still do it. You can find jobs where you’re home everyday or if you really want to be over the road then I’m sure you can make it work. I have no clue what I want to do with my life/career, then again I’m 19 and maybe I’ll never fully know what I want to do in life but I went and pulled the trigger and I’m starting school at the beginning of march and I couldn’t be more excited.
Do it. I have a buddy who gets off from probation next month and I'm taking him out on the truck for a couple weeks. He is 120 days drug free but has nothing, and as a friend, I'd like to see him succeed.
My dad always told me a passport is the key to the world. I'll tell you, a CDL is the key to employment. You will never have a problem finding a job, with a CDL.
Just found your channel and have watched a few episodes. I like the artistry in your images and editing, and your taste in music and sound track selection. I admire your editorial courage in posting the tough parts, and your strength (both physical and emotional) in persevering despite adversity. Thank you for your filmmaking.
God Bless You - Been following you for a while now. I Think that you are a fantastic young woman and I appreciate all that truck drivers go through to make their deliveries. Stay safe out there.
Holy Moly. I think the last 2 videos' headlines has never made me click a video faster "Stalker" and "Accident". I wish for a speedy recovery! Take care of yourself and hope to see a post from you soon
I wish I could find drivers like you. Few and far between. You are definitely a good sport.
Been almost 20 years since I was behind the wheel ... and videos like this remind me why I don't miss it. Always hated Donner Pass especially the east end. Hope your head was OK.
Thank God for small favors you are all right! Take real good care and get rest! Dakota you are the best co-driver out there! I have never seen Donner during winter and snow! Beautiful for sure!
Wow. Nasty bump. Lots of respect and admiration. I'm so glad I don't have to go where I need chains at this time of the year.
I love your spirit. Your inner beauty out shines your outer. I'm glad you're doing well.
Shelby, always get a head injury checked, especially one that's caused a bump the size you had and bruising. Never take chances like that. ❤️
I’m so sorry! I know your pain all too well! Glad you’re ok!
You definitely don’t have anything to be embarrassed about! It’s a hazard of the job. I’ve been there. Gave myself a black eye sliding my tandems once. 😅 It was an older trailer with a lever, that kept getting stuck. When I finally got it free it yanked me forward and I smacked my face against the bottom of the trailer. 😩😅 The important thing is you are ok!! 🖤🖤 I hope you are feeling better, and I just want you to know I look up to you so much!! Thank you for creating these videos, and giving a girl like me the courage to keep driving!! 🤘🏽🖤
OMG sweetheart, you’re a trooper. Please be careful and take it easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Oh my. So glad your ok. That could have had a bad outcome. Please be safe out there driver
Oh my gosh, girl! You are brave doing that even surviving with that head injury. I am glad you are home safely. Take care of yourself and feel better.
Oh no!! Bless your heart!! You absolutely have inner strength. I can’t believe how hard you work! Be safe and stay strong!♥️🙏♥️✨👍🏻❄️
Oh my goodness 😢 the mom in me wants to give you a big big hug. My heart breaks for you. I’m so so glad you are ok. Sending big big hugs 🤗🤗❤❤
Oh my Shelby. That looks extremely painful. So sorry that happened to you but great job pushing through Prayer for fast recovery 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your shining example of profession great job your one tough cookie God speed always ❤
Shelby as far as I am concerned as a person you are second to none. You are truly amazing. Sorry you got hurt. Hope you heal real soon. Take care of yourself. God bless.
Omg u rock. GOD bless your sweet heart. Out there doing a man's job. Thank you for doing this for us we really appreciate truckers. ❤
Your health is the most important part of you. Your injury comes first. Get yourself better! Loads can wait!!❤
Silly accidents can make you question yourself, your abilities. You're doin a great job, keep up the good work! Sending love from NZ
Oh my!! I could tell you were hurting in the video. Your right, its not pretty sometimes. You took that better than alot of people would have. Hope you feel better soon. Enjoying your channel. Video production is excellent!
I'm sorry that happened to you. Once I saw that bump, I was super worried about you driving by yourself. Glad you made it okay. Rest up and get better soon.
Wow, that’s one heck of a lump. Glad your ok. Remember the old saying what doesn’t kill ya…makes your head hurt like crazy! Be careful out there!
Hope you are feeling better by now. I hit my head the exact same way. I ALWAYS wear my hat backwards but I had my snow hood up so I needed the bill forward. Even at home hit my head on stuff standing up with a forward facing bill. . Now I always wear a beanie when chaining. It is so relieving and scary when it drains down. You are devastatingly gorgeous even with a shinner. Thank you for keeping it real and showing the true glory of the road. Especially the part about dealing with shitty chains. Most drivers just assume all chains are good. I have not tried the pewag chains yet, but I will now. Cheers
You are a trooper! Hope You Didn't get any worse. Thanks for showing us.
You get better! You are a strong Person!! I know just seeing that snow and coldness OTR isn't for me!! Get better and stay positive I love watching you and Dakota!!
Thank you for sharing your experience, hoping you heal soon.
Sending the most powerful rays of goodness for your speedy recovery.
