At 00:26 I meant Lexington, *Nebraska
Vasiliy Agiy nicely done ✅
Vasiliy Agiy Platte is pronounced plat. Stayed there many times. The Flying J is my choice of places to stay. Food is good and the staff are always willing to chat.
hello JBG long no see lol
Ayyeeee I live close to their
Love this .....
As a member of the NSP who works in the “North Plate” area I just want to thank you and all of the truckers for what you do and sacrifice to keep our country supplied. Much respect to you. Stay safe and warm!!!
Don't worry about what others think about you. If you ever feel uncomfortable, park it. There's not a load worth your life.
I loved running in the snow but it took me 4 yrs to get comfortable with it. Now I'm retired after 25yrs accident free. Heart condition lost my CDL.. Be safe always use your instincts and training.
Man, you remind me of me when i started trucking some 45 years ago except you seem to be a lot smarter,that was a good choice to remain at the truck stop not sure i would have made that choice,best of luck as you continue down the road
I personally would have countinued if I felt it safe and if not I would shutdown but most of the time I would have countinued
@@citizen23606 most would've
@Jeff Furrow exactly
I know I would of kept rolling 25 years ago being young and dumb
In Wyoming i would shutdown but anywhere else I'd keep it moving unless there's a semi truck ban. Those wind gusts are scary.
no one would ever guess your a trucker ....your so funny...that's why we like you so much.. most original trucking videos
Hah thank you that's very nice of you
I LIKE YOU AND YOUR PERSONALITY THEY DI TOO,.
Yeah I couldn't help laughing at 6:30... all dressed up
his hipster hairdo makes it seem like he work at starbucks but hes a trucker! *thumbs up*
Get some food for your truck lol I fill mine up when I go home
Idk why but it’s such a nice, calm, and peaceful thing to see the cold snow out there when you’re inside your warm n cozy truck.
No load is ever worth your life, or the lives around you. Never has, never will be.
Personally I would have covered some ground. But only you know your skill level. If you have the time, which you did, and you don't feel comfortable driving in it, then don't.
You are the captain of that truck, had you chosen to drive and bad things happened that responsibility rests on your shoulders at that point.
None of these keyboard warriors would have been there to bail you out of a bad situation, but I bet they would have been the first to jump in your parking spot.
Amen

I don't know what to say but your 100% right
@Cya betting you're just the master of the roadways ain't ya there slick!
It has always baffled me how close y’all park next to each other!!! It’s amazing what y’all do thank you for your service!
Yes.. Without truckers we wouldn't have anything
trained professonals.youd be surprised what we can do.
Sometimes we have to get even closer 😬 but you're welcome lol
You need to keep enough food and water in your truck for at least three days in the event you get stuck for several days. I got stuck for four days once had to survive on what I had in my truck. Luckily I was prepared. And keep a thermal blanket with you. Drivers have run out of fuel and froze to death! Be safe!
The power of the elements is a force to be reckoned with. Your truck is just a hair in Nature's snowcone!
Indeed, indeed.
Stay.safe.buddy
You're a sensible guy. No one would call you a Sissy, esp when, within 2 hrs that lot was full. Can't be that many sissy truckers out there. Nice to see you made it a positive moment.
I'm glad he made that choice.
Just finished watching a few of your videos about shutting down in the blizzard. I thought it was funny when you got dressed to go inside. It looked like you put on about 20lbs. I was also very impressed to see a young driver like you actually shifting gears! You also seem very safety minded which is a good thing. As far as dressing for the weather, buy yourself a Carhartt brand coat and bibs and leave them in the truck. You won't need them in SoCal but you'll be glad they're around in situations like you went through in Nebraska. Drivers like me from the "snowbelt" rely on our Carhartt stuff to stay warm and dry. I always spray my Carhartts and my boots with Kiwi brand camp dry to waterproof them too. Be safe out there kid!
I own a pair of quilted bibs. They are a prize possession. The whole world should own a pair. I have outside animals... they are a lifesaver.
as an adult I hate dealing with snow in terms of driving and getting things done, but man is it beautiful. isnt it funny almost every kid wishes for it all winter long? anyways, I think its really cool that you stop to enjoy the little things. Its funny to watch the madness of a snowstorm from some kinda shelter, with strong winds and heavy snow, it looks/feels like chaos. but then you step out into it, and its eerily quiet. kind of a weird thought but it always blows my mind. best of luck in the coffee biz
You know the reason almost every kid wishes for snow all winter long, right?
With enough snow they close the schools, and almost every kid likes having an unexpected day off of school.
These days I still like when it snows, so long as it snows slow enough that they can keep the roads clear. A few years back around here in Binghamton, NY we got two and a half feet of snow over the course of around six hours, which shut everything down for the next two days. They declared a state of emergency for it IIRC, you should be able to look it up by that if you're interested.
Remember
Chain laws are mother nature's way of telling you to park the truck.
Unless you're in California and they put them up when it's barely dusting.
You needed someone like me to keep you warm BB.
WTF lmao
Lmfaooooo gay asf
My last wagon was a W900 limited edition, 2 beds , TV, DVD player, had a remote to the radio, fridge ,microwave, coffee pot . Only time I got out in bad weather, go to the little boys room, shower carried 14 uniform sets , plus regular clothes, 725 hp kitten, 18sp road ranger ,373 tears gears , carried plenty of food and hydration. Was sad to retired from medical reasons
All I can say is good call driver that's being safe and smart it's nice to know and see other drivers who know when to call it quits compared to the wannabe super truckers out there all I can say is I respect you for making your decision I've just recently subscribe to your page keep up the good work and attitude I'll be happy to see you do a livestream when the time comes keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down driver
Please put commas and periods in you sentences.
Don't know how long you've been trucking, but avoid 80 and North in winter. Especially WY!
You can’t avoid it, the 80 will find you no matter what
The time stamps are freaking awesome. Great work man. It’s great to know you weren’t willing to gamble. I’m a fellow driver and got hit with snow storm middle of no where. So drive 40 MPH for 45 minutes to the nearest safe haven.
Another Great Video... Your a little Goofy but that's what makes you unique...Keep up the good work 👍☺
Harry Balls I agree yet his goofiness just got me to suscribe!! Lol
Something I learnt during my first year of driving in snow and I would like to share it with you and all of my fellow truck drivers....... In snow try to wear safety vest or dark color clothes. Grey and white clothes blend in with snow. I’m sure a lot of you agree with me on that. Thanks to all and be safe on the road. Respect
Omg thank you for stating the obvious 🙏 🙏
You need to carry flavored juices so you can make ur own snow cone. Just have to do it with fresh snow
Brian Johnson avoid the yellow snow.
The yellow snow is the best
April 10, 2018---Yeah, when there's a storm like this coming down, we're all heading for the nearest truck stop if possible like chickens heading for the coop because they heard there's a fox around.
Omg. How blessed am I to have stumbled upon this channel on a Saturday night
Awww what a cute geeky (good thing!) guy! He's adorable :-)
I love your commentary, increasing with relief in your voice the later it gets in the day, as trucker after trucker noses on into the lot, bunking up in their cabs. I don’t see any Truck Stop Annies working the lot today!
“I’m glad I watched all those dual survival episodes” god damnit 😂
Wow your vlog really took off! Last time I watched these videos they only had a couple thousand views each! That's awesome I am glad people are enjoying these vlogs as much as I did! Definitely got me to respect truckers more than I did before.
The only thing you were missing was a lot lizard to keep you cozy.
Without these guys, America doesn’t run. Stay safe out there.
You go west you will learn to carry insulated bibs and Carhart coat. Long underwear and sweat pants are good things to pack when going through the midwest. The months of September through April are excellent times to pack extra clothes and the afore mentioned items.
I just can't fit anymore clothes into my travel bags! Good advice though thank you :)
Vasiliy Agiy put them under your bunk and leave them there. I made room for mine there and I keep them there all year.
Ralph Rose.. add a pair of wool socks and a wool blanket. Keept my but from freezing several times. $50 buck at Army Navy store.
.
I’m sissy when it comes to the cold also. I was in a bad winter storm in Wisconsin last winter. Scared me to death. I was so cold. I bundled up in my bunk wind chill was -13. I prayed to Jesus to help me survive it. Watching this video I just want to hold you. Stay safe
Imma Run to the dennys Really fast " Stops an films trailers" (oh wow you guys )
I miss your trucking vlogs!!..you're a fun person and your editing is the best!!!
Man your gonna love blizzards in Buffalo New York.. some good film material for you there driver.
I deliver there Monday morning lol might be able to get reloaded and out of here quick enough.
I'd like to add, those packets of instant hand and foot warmers come in handy when I'm working in the cold. The instant warmth quickly gets rid of that cold pain in my finger tips.
Aloha Mahalo and God Bless you
A good Sherpa lined long jacket and some cold gear under cloths / socks would be a good addition if you are going to be doing those runs on a regular basis. Heavy insulated boots might be in order also.
I have been stuck on the 80 in Wyoming during a blizzard and I swear I thought I would freeze to death. Had my Ford Bronco idling and the heater full tilt but was still cold as a witches tit on the mountain pullout I was on. I thank God for the trucker that allowed me to rub his trailers bumper while he led me into the pull out spot. If it hadn't been for him I would have went off the side and died for sure.
sturmbok Semper Fidelis
You are so much fun to watch. I HATE extreme cold and snow, that’s why I live in central California. Love your honesty. Safe travels.
Please buy a heavier winter coat, hat and gloves for driving through these storms. . How do you find the truck again in that storm after walking around? Every truck was covered. Awesome video.
I was wondering the same thing
Down coat for sure
Same way you find your car in a parking lot full of other vehicles, lol time and patience
Also get a good sleeping bag and coveralls just in case you break down in the winter
@@Rustyhandle And lots and lots of thermal underwear. And good wool socks. I like the Smart Wool socks, don't make ya itch and fully washable. I use shampoo (why not, wool is hair after all). Just don't put them in the dryer. Hang to dry.
awesome video Vasiliy! I'm glad you waited for the storm to pass, beautiful snow though
Man i had to watch this again....july 8 its 101 hear....
This is one of my favorite vlogs!!! I bet it would be fun to be snowed in and camp out in the ttruck. Kind of like going to camp!!!! Have fun and really glad to see you so happy in your travels.
Wow, good choice to listen and stay.
See i actually would enjoy being in your position, camping out in a big rig at in the middle of a storm! How awesome!
Cool to see someone trucking in Nebraska
North Platt . . . . pronounced like "flat"
Platte Pronouce the P
BossmanEight made me cringe when he pronounced it “plate”
Had me laughing! Plate.... Hahahhahah its Platt
Because it is flat
It's German guys...
This time of year it's good to know where there's a Walmart to park at. Way better than any truck stop. Keep those tanks over half and get you and Mr. Buddy heater or a camping stove and food. Stay safe, warm and fed.
*What if i fall and i gotta survive between 2 trucks* 🤣
"I live in San Diego for a reason". Yep, the same reason I live near New Orleans. I once quit my job and moved to Colorado, for a week. I went back to my old job in New Orleans where I could sail and play basketball year round. You make good videos and have good sense. Stay safe.
This is something I wanted to do when I grow up
I’m happy that you all got off the highway, much safer for me
You get more comments than channels that have several more thousand subs. Well done sir
Thanks for noticing hah
Wow that was some crazy snow storm. Glad you decided to stop instead of heading youw way. Love your videos . Keep making them
Get out there on the road you sissy !!!!! lol ... only kidding .... cool video brother stay safe : )
I was a trucker for 13yrs.. I know what is like, in a snow storm, it's know joke... And I'm loving your videos and music..
there's a reason they call I-80 "snow chi minh trail", I just haven't figured how why though
“I have to cross the tundra and hunt for food”
“At Dennys”
🤣 💀
Why did you stop posting buddy. You were entertaining.
I don't think he trucks anymore.
He doesn’t, he opened a coffee business in order to have a better life with his family
He's getting back into trucking.
I'm enjoying watching you. Not bad for an old guy. I use to drive locally. I truly miss it. Wish I was healthy enough to go over the road.
I miss this guy
What happened to him?
not a trucker anymore
He have a coffee bean business..
He is in the coffee industry now
He quit trucking
Here's his video ...
th-cam.com/video/LQVeFDj1h0k/w-d-xo.html
Rewatching this. One of my favorite vlogs!!!
Where’d you go ?? You were so entertaining! 🙁
I wonder if anyone else was vlogging the same thing while you were . You ever think about that lol ?. Or is it just me ! . Glad you stayed put!!!. 💯
So you like vlogg or truck or both ?
@@waseemkkakar8933 huh ?.
@@rainandthangz your first name is Christian and second is Muslim...everything is confused
Buddy Holly stranded in the snow.
Lmao I was thinking same thing
Crying...waiting...hoping 😆
Buddy hollywood*
The snow is beautiful and you are so right much better to sit and watch than drive in it.
You need the "Law & Order" music bump from the time & location info cards before they get into the scene.
Man, I really miss your old videos. I remember laying in bed at night a few years ago and just binge watching your videos while its raining outside. Times were so much easier back then. Hope to see you come back and make some vlogs soon brother. Stay safe out there!
@Florian B I think there are only 2 new videos this year 😢😢
This is like a true light snow in Canada 😂
Your a natural at this, the blizzard vid is pure gold vlogging ✌️
North Platte rhymes with flat.
I got caught in 2 blizzards in Wyoming in 2006 first one during a haul from Omaha,Ne, to Salt Lake City, Utah. The blizzard forced me to stop around Elk mountain, Wyoming, for it was too dangerous to continue. The end blizzard, during a run from Idaho to North Carolina, stopped me at Cyeyenne, Wyoming. interstates were closed and truck stops were full. Bright spot was my training. That kept me alive. And the winter views I enjoyed very much.
Your adorable. Cute nerdy trucker. He can shift my gears any day.
Bad Ass what the fuck
Rhymes with flat, North Platte, NE. Welcome to truckin'! :) Stay safe.
You look like Kenny from South Park. Lol
Hahaha
I just meant the way that you had your hood on nothing negative. Just to be clear.
William Dennis that's funny good call
William Dennis I was wondering if those bastards killed him
I think he looks more like Milhouse from the Simpsons once he got into his snow clothes.
I gotta give you props man, I think you did the right thing not continuing. I would do that exact same thing.
I'm the sort I'd go make a snowman in front of my truck :)
I don't know why, but I simply love this video. I'm not fascinated by what's going on on the road, but much more what you guys do during the downtime
Mostly watching movies and eating hah
Sleeping 😴
I will not run in that crap now days, use to be "back in the day" I enjoyed running in adverse weather, across Wyoming, up 25 to Billings. Too many I want to be first drivers now. After 40 years of driving not in a hurry anymore. Maybe after a while you can move up to a nicer truck, like a 379 or W-9.
You are too funny dude.
North Platte is pronounced like hat.
Very smart move staying where you were ahead of the storm. By the time the snow starts falling, the truck stops fill up fast and you're hard pressed to find a safe spot to park. I have auto-chains and an APU. Best two investments I've ever made. No laying out in the slush to put chains on, and the APU saves a lot of fuel instead of idling, and it keeps the fuel warm too so no gelling.
You don't want to be heading out across Nebraska and Wyoming on the 80 without a heavy load when there is any kind of weather. Those winds kick up to over 70 MPH fast and they blow over light trucks very frequently. In one morning early in 2017, I counted 35 overturned trucks between Utah state line and Cheyenne. It's nothing to mess around with.
Drive safe out there.
Steve L what are auto chains sir?
The greatest invention since sliced bread. They work great on commercial trucks and trailers.
th-cam.com/video/HgM2LfuBW68/w-d-xo.html
thats incredible. i cant believe something like that exists. Im taking a break from OTR right now but i'll have to tell my uncle.
If he is an owner operator and pretty much uses the same trailer all the time, they are one heck of a time saver if he drives a lot in the snow. They're expensive, like $15,000 installed, but instead of losing an hour installing and a half hour taking them off, you don't even have to stop, just slow down and push a button.
little tip get your food before it gets so bad
Brian Outz he gets his food when his damn good and ready, ok
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Somebody needs to do a cartoon show with him in that getup ........ with just his nose and glasses showing with the hood pulled around them. Oh, Oh, and carrying his cell phone. That would be so good. "Vasiliy the Trucker"
It's Platte like hat, cat, bat.
You can tell its windy when the snow is coming down sideways. And the colder you are, the more you bundle up, you betcha!
That's why u need a Cb. So u know what happing up the road
Shane Brenoel how do you know what channel to be on?
Channel 19 is the standard truckers channel
lol coffee and wheels, he got his cell phone and x box what more does he need?
@@robertl.fallin7062 a c.b. would be something that would help him
I watched this as a wanted to be truck driver to been speeding the night in the storm this year 2019 as a truck driver delivering to next door Walmart 😂😂 thanks dude
Just found ur channel I’m a truck driver in Alaska so I know what ur going through. Keep ur following distance and you will be good. Like ur channel though it’s interesting. Always wondered what otr trucking was like.
Oh wow this must be a walk in the park for you then! Much respect for anyone trucking so far up north. Thanks for the advice :)
OMG! All the trucks!!! I LOVE to see them.
Fascinated.
Do lot lizards still work in these conditions?
Yes they do there at the truck stop a couple minutes from my house I hear about them all the time on the CB. Especially when the weather gets bad because there more guys to make cash off of!!
Being warm and snug looking out the window at snow is very pleasant. Driving in it....not so much. Smart to stay put and just watch.
Why don't you ask drivers coming from that direction on the CB.
Yeah, good point. Why not get on the CB and get a weather report?
5th Man he did
Tell you why not all these truckers don't use c.b. anymore
Love the flying J too. I lived in Nebraska for 34 yrs and im 46 now. Been in Illinois for 12 yrs
How's the lot lizards there?
Don Rich lot popsicles. They offer to come in and snuggle for 20 bucks
Nice choice music, uplifting for the depressing scene!
sitting in a walmart parking lot riding out a winter storm in your car or truck isnt beautiful,,,trust me on this
Robert Swift - It's all in the eye of the beholder!
Robert Swift fuck off
I loved staying at Walmart
Try living in your car for the whole winter, 4 month worth and one/two nights of waiting out a storm not so bad unlesss you're a candy ass.
I grew-up in the southwestern mountains of Virginia,and I now live in Charleston,SC..However, just watching your video makes me miss snow,and I know most ppl do not like snow and I understand why but I still miss it and love it..Thanks for sharing your travels with us
Lmao....... come north to Canada and drive in that crap daily through the Rockies...... that's my world.
"stupid is as stupid does"
Wow, you're so awesome, I'm just so impressed..bwahaha, doesn't matter what you drive through, you're still a canadian.
Doug Cooper yep, you're right butt-floss, Canadian all the way.
Where’s your proof fuckboy?
Beautiful part of the world the Canadian Rockies, and yes lots of snow. He made the right call to shut down when he did. Keep your toque dry up there, and keep it slow.
I planned to wait out a storm like you but I was reminded since I was pulling an oversized load I'd have to stay put for the next two days so I ended up in very slow moving traffic and then managed to get out of the state that would have made me shut down for 2 days. In the morning it was clear and the worst part of the storm was behind me.
He doesn't look old enough to have a CDL a to drive a tractor trailer but that's all right he stopped and stayed in the truck stopped and waited the storm out it's okay if you drive you go slow and easy but them four wheelers think that you can stop a semi on a dime and you can't there's been plenty of times I've stopped and stayed and talked stops waited for the storm to pass even if I didn't have time to drive you just tell the Brokers that you want to pick up your load off the side of the road go for it good choice boy you stopped and stayed
Hell i dont look old enough to have a regular license haha yeah i stopped risking my life after last years winter. Aint worth, I got a whole life ahead of me
Vasiliy Agiy - YOU do what feels safe for YOU. Don't listen to these so called "got go no matter what" and we drove no matter what truckers, cause in the end,it's YOUR life,not theirs! I've been driving 24 years, and never had a wreck because I shut it down when I didn't feel safe going down the road. You're doing a great job and you've got a new subscriber. Stay safe!!
I was 26 when I got my CDL, although they didn't call it CDL yet. You had class 1, 2 or 3. I didn't look very old when I started either. I took some bad chances myself in bad weather back then. Even taking off when I had a beautiful parking spot right next to the restaurant. It makes me shiver thinking about some of the close calls I had now that I am retired from it.
My son is an OTR TRUCKER and he was shut down all weekend in Ohio..I'm just so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY that he was in a SAFE SPOT at an Oasis on the turnpike..That was shut down and closed all weekend ..
