3 times stuck in ice...getting off highway and stopping in a ice coated parking lot...hot tires melt into ice...nothing to say but...smuck..!!!...every day is school...just saying at the end of the day you know what it cost you to learn a very important lesson...3 times in 8 years...so...no worries it happens
@@dustinhuffman574 You are right about warm tires in snow or ice. When parking, I park and move in a few minutes and do it again. Especially if there’s a bunch of snow and ice that will try snd freeze up your brakes
Well that one's on you Rob. Pulling into standing snow, locked up axle, and no kitty litter on board. Seeing as you should have chains anyway get the ones that mount without having to pull ahead or back. I'm a big supporter of yours but today was not one of your better days. And really is a load worth it? Sit out the storm. That's one of the advantages of being an owner op.
Those rope lights turned out really good in the sleeper. I beat that helps out a lot when cleaning as well. Thanks for another video, God Bless you guys.
Welcome to Minnesota Robert! Here, snow happens that way. When they tell you that there will be a storm, we prepare. Sometimes, the storm doesn't materialize, but most often it's a mess. Mankato is said: " Man-KAY-toh." Be safe out there!
If you know it’s going to get cold or snow you don’t set your trailer breaks leave then not set so they won’t freeze up. The only break you set is the truck breaks not the trailer!!!!!!! Great song “Train Ride” In winter or spring time you should always have your chains or socks for the truck especially if driving north or to the north west!!! Always sounding like a little kid winning when talking to the dogs
Bring wheel chuck's....never have i set brakes under 20 degrees because it stays warm as the truck builds heat...win win...learn your lesson and don't repeat..its not shampoo
Idk . Do people not watch? Not listen. I mean he litterally said in the video that he had them locked..Was he supposed to lock lock them? Or lock lock lock them? I'm really curious now.
@@FreedomInc No, but he was supposed to unlock his frozen brake. If he did that, instead of trying to find pavement so he could drag his tires, maybe he wouldn't have had to lock his power divider in the first place. Totally useless trying to move a truck with an empty flatbed in the snow period. Even most rookies know that when you are empty and you put a pebble in front of a tire, you are not moving in 6 inches of snow let alone with a frozen brake. Then he says his traction control doesn't work well? Lita warned him so she saw the snow, but yet he didn't see it? I really like watching these videos, but I swear this guy is his own worst enemy. Promised to be paid when he loaded those trucks and yet continued to not only deliver them but unload them without being paid and leave? He should have set the maxi brakes after being loaded and not moved until paid. Maybe he should get on Facebook and post "I've been in trucking for years now, but I don't know why I get stuck and get burned for money all the time. Now what"? I agree with others. Video of the week on Bonehead Truckers. I bet he grabbed the first cheap paying load offered to get out of there too, but he'll say he doesn't understand why everyone hauls cheap freight.
@@johnnybegood9285 i don't disagree with some of that. However that wasnt what the O.P. stated. You learned whst you know through trial and error. So will he.
Many have already mentioned not setting the trailer brakes. You should also be bleeding all your air tanks too before parking for the night to get the moisture out so your lines don't freeze up.
I looked at buying a 10k lb loader tractor 500 miles away. Saw a machine hauler. “$1500, or $1600” I figured a grand for me to do it for myself. Yes over $3 loaded mile. Hopefully he has load going that way . In cold do not set you trailer brakes. Then pull ahead after 15 minutes, set again. Truck brakes in real cold.
Rob i have my own hotshot company, i dont drive anymore, i have drivers leased and dispatch others. The market is bad, but honestly the only way to get loads is being on the load board literally all day non stop and the fastest finger will get the load. The market is bad but all the trucks are still grossing 6k and its not to bad for non cdl. Just keep your head up and maybe get a dispatcher who will be on the board all day for you. Good luck man.
You guys should buy some rock salt. Rock salt is going to use when you get stuck in snow and ice. You put it in front and behind the tire and it will give you traction. That is an old school trick that my parents taught me. That will save you time and money Well you found out that toy isn't tough enough to be Mackie proof.
This is the type ofcontent i was looking for in the last live stream.... PUPPY DESTRUCTION!!... good girl Mackie you little savage, little innocent Nola doesnt wanna be a part of the destruction. hahaha... That truck with the 5 axles was nuts, I had to rewind to take a double take, so cool.... Keep the shiny side up, cheers folks!
ive seem company drivers drag wheels but never owner opps as they have to buy new tires because of flat spots lol .beat the drum or shoe or pry up with crow bar
Robert there is power equipment in WI. At cooper Eaton in Waukesha WI. N u can call smooth Operaters in Darien WI. Has freight I load there every other week head guy is Mike the owner.
Research Landstar. My 1st cousin been trucking since 1987 and he leased on with them several years ago and he is very happy. Landstar haters always mention them paying 65% but fail to mention the perks such as no more factoring.
Well it's evident that Rob has not driven in deep snow for long distances. And never experienced heavy ice build-up. For 1 that's not that much snow overall on the ground and 2 that's a very light coat of ice. What would the rookie do in a real blissard with 20 foot tall snow drifts and snow of 4 feet deep, and drifted around the trucks that are you can't even open your doors. Yup I've been there done all that. 😮😂
All he needed to do was drag out one of his securement chains and zig zag it behind two of his drives and back out. Plus use his head and not drag a trailer with a locked wheel into a snow bank while turning and going slow. Smh. At least he gave some bored drivers some entertainment watching that performance 😂
Robert, its called mankAto! To bad you cant just hold the loads for ransom until each one pays but that would probably always put you behind but you would probably get payed! Good luck!
Well my friend you really messed up there, You should have checked your trailer brakes and everything first in case they not froze , The second thing you turning in that snow like that Is a big big NO NO mann especially you are empty , at least you are learning and once you get rolling when it's like that you try to speed it up and try not to stop because you are not going to go again , Snow and ice and white outs it is all bad news my friend , I run the Northwest I am use to all of it , you two be safe out there take care yourselves
$2.20 / mile * 8 drops = $17.60 / mile. Those folks are crazy for thinking that rate is right. At least you had food for four, I guess. Was this February for you? Have good days!
you should look into getting a set of folding steps for the dogs like Kurt from trucking with Schmidt has for his German Shepard and if I was still driving over the road I would seriously consider getting a set of Automatic chains for your drive axles I know Casey LaDell got a set for both drive axles and says he wishes he hadn’t waited so long he has done videos of using them in different situations including driving in slush and having it freeze solid on the system and he has no problem when he turned them on they had plenty of power to break the frozen ice and snow off of them and they work great in up to 6” of snow I believe he paid $2000.00 per axle and it wouldn’t take long for them too pay for themselves just in piece of mind when you go to park for the night on ice or hard pack snow with warm tires you can just throw the switch as you pull into the parking spot and you will be sitting with the chains under the tires and be able too drive away in the morning instead of having trouble getting out of the craters that your warm tires melted themselves into
I am with a real good company and I haul boats for Yamaha. we do not have any openings where I work but we have openings in our cummins division.

@@SouthGeorgiahotshot if your brakes weren't set, how did the shoes freeze to drums? Must have a bad bad air leak if you didn't set them. If your air leaked that fast, why are you driving it without repairing air leak?

I ain't no trucker but your channel is the best on youtube. Keep it up
To prevent trailer breaks freezing in cold weather don't set them just truck parking brake lol love the videos
I never set mine, but after losing all my air pressure, they set themselves... and the drives will freeze as well 😢🥶
No kidding

Never set your trailer brakes in the snow and cold
Advice, dont set your trailer brakes in the winter. It happens to the best of us man. Dont let it bother you!
Your going to have to move to Minnesota because them dogs love the snow.
Stuck in a half inch of snow looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Its cold but could be colder 21° o you have no idea how bad we get it some years up here! This past winter was a easy one!
They have that new truck stop in Mankato its a good one 👍🏻
Did you get the snow shovel you left outside?
That's crazy snow. You got to get back to the east coast
Robert doesn’t haul cheap freight he likes that FREE freight!! Why didn’t you just hold on to the freight until the check cleared??No excuses man!
My thoughts exactly
Monster drinks are not good for you. You should live where it snows every winter!
I would love that lol
Know your worth !!!!
How do you like driving the automatic in the snow with no weight on the trailer
ive seem company drivers drag wheels but never owner opps as they have to buy new tires because of flat spots lol .beat the drum or shoe or pry up with crow bar
Be safe out there driver
I just picked up at the same place and brought them down to Atlanta Georgia.

early spring next year or not soon as winter is done
Two big dogs in a truck.? Errrr.
Do you have any source of alcohol eg. rubbing alcohol, pour that in the charge line of you trailer and that should unfreeze your axle.
They have stuff to Georgia in Atlanta all the time
Is that rear trailer tire dragging down the hwy?
It's just a interlock, not full lockers. And stop setting your trailer braked at night and especially near or below freezing weather.
Just love seeing the doggies.... Enjoyed the live last night.
