Not sure what happened after the camera stopped, but it looked like he had fairly decent control of the truck based on the condition of the road. That’s one VERY skilled driver behind that wheel!
The result of these videos has caused me to drive myself only when nessasary!! I now use public and taxi transportation which is only 35% safter!!!

I drove big trucks cross country for about 15 yrs. I'm retired now. I've been in situations like that and it's nerve wracking. This guy did a good job. He was still on the road and the wheels were down. He wins. A drag chain on the trailer would have been easier on his heart. 😏
@@greg1629 You're right, a drag chain on one outside rear dual BEFORE the hill would have done the trick. 90% of staying out of trouble is avoiding getting into a situation like that by using a rare thing called foresight. Nonetheless, he handled the situation pretty well after he was sliding. That was pretty tricky for a moment. 😱
He is just taking things slow to keep as much grip on the surface that he possibly can...I'd say that looked incredibly controlled compared to what I'd call an out of control truck...Or as my driving instructor for my normal car drivings license would say "Did anyone get hurt? Were there any types of damage? No? It just took a little longer? Oh, so we got home safely?"
Put it in the lowest gear and stay off the brakes and might help to put the wheels on the right in the snow on the side of the road. Born and raised in NewEngland.
Can confirm. Moved from Florida to Pennsylvania and figured that out quickly. Hydroplaning practice in massive thunderstorms helped me work out the physics of mixed snow and ice driving.
One thing I learned driving a semi over the road years ago is ride the clutch not the brake on slick roads. My learning lesson was in Pennsylvania , a whiteout hit me and I was going down a steep grade I slammed and stood on the brakes went side ways and almost off a cliff got it back under control and starting working that clutch and barely the brakes and lived to tell about it. I was also the truck in 2000 that weaved through that big deadly pile up during that huge ice storm in OK city when it all broke loose because of 15 + truck convoy going to fast .But although that day I was the only truck that didn't crash, turnover or kill anyone during that pile up and came out right through the crashing I can honestly say God had the wheel. Oh but let me say I wasn't running with those guys but as soon as the last truck got ahead of me and they said come on man let's go all hell broke loose. I had to bob and weave but I got through it all and made it to the truckstop . It was terrible a lot of deaths and the roads were shut down a long time for that one. BUT I thank God Almighty I'm still alive.
I've seen that video. You are my guardian angel. And props to this driver keeping it on the road. Lol, ride the high side of the road buddy. Continues to the low side O_o
Born and raised in Canada. That road was a skating rink and to me that driver was barely in control. If there had been a car or a truck coming in the opposite direction, they were both doomed. I mean, when gravity is pulling a vehicle down the road’s incline you need better tires or a different plan to get to point B. He could have tried to put one wheel on the shoulder though, although my experience has been that it can also become covered in ice. In that case you end up just being closer to skid off the road completely.
100% agree. I always get a kick out of the keyboard warriors that say he was in full control and I was the one sliding all over the place. I sure as heck wouldn’t have wanted to see that truck sliding down the hill at me if I was driving up it. I’ve driven many miles in fully loaded trucks on roads like this and if there is any doubt… chain up. Then like you said, drive with a tire on either a dry patch or sand strip etc. Sometimes I would chain up a drag axle on my trailer before the start of a big hill where you take a long chain and drive over it then wrap the tire and hook it back on itself and then chain the other end to the frame. It will drag that tire and keep the trailer from getting away on you in a situation like this. This guy got lucky
Reese Hummel: According to the Smith System of Defensive Driving any time the wheels are locked up and the vehicle is moving it is out of control. I don't think the poster was doing any belly aching.
here's a trick few seem to know when they start sliding.......STOP DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ICE IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE SNOW ISN'T COMPACTED, EVEN HUGGING THE DITCH WILL GIVE YOU INSTANT TRACTION.
If you are a truck driver with no experience: Use the trailer brake only before use the service brake ( pedal) Trailer brake located at the steering wheel column, right side . Takes a little while to get it .
Reminds me of a white-knuckle drive through the Blue Mountains in Eastern Oregon one winter....luckily it was 3 in the morning and hardly anyone else around.
Yeah the road conditions were pretty shit , but that truckie had a handle on it , on ice brakes can fuck you up worst but don't panic remember that round thing in your hands that makes the front wheels go left and right most probably still works , I say he done well
I thought if he had to move the rig, he did a good job. Sped up just enuff top make the hill, and if he didn't make it, he woulda been an impediment to travel, but unlikely to cause major property damage.
Welp, well done buddy. You did good. Good job not freakin' out and standing on the brakes and coming off sideways. In this situation just remember more thinking and less feeling. Also, chain up next time. If yiute not prepared dont run ut ja section til' you are.
Wish I'd been able to post the high speed out of control/ controlled slide I watched on Rush Lake hill in SK. Old hand broke over the hill on freezing rain at 60 mph and kept it pointing in the right direction all the way down. everybody was on the side of the road because it was way too slick. they salted the road prior to the crest westbound and I guess he had no reason to think they were too stupid to do the downhill side.
That man did an awesome job . The truck stayed on the road . Keeping your cool in conditions like that is key. Awesome! Looks very much like highway 91 Idaho. I could be way off , but reminds me of my winter trips through the park hauling cattle.
He definitely did a good job keeping it out of the ditch! The video was taken on Vancouver Island in BC Canada. I love Idaho! Been through there several times and on highway 91.
+Ben Benjamin he should have but he had fenders that needed to be removed so there would be room to fit the chains. I offered to help and and warned him how icy it was. Some people need to learn the hard way I guess.
OUredneck yes he did a good job of keeping it out if the ditch but a good driver would have chained up or not put themselves in that position! His brakes were not dynamited
OUredneck we have all made the same mistake as drivers and that's what experience teaches us. I know the driver and he was put in a bad spot but should have waiting until the sand truck came up the hill at least
I’m right there with you! I do less driving and more operating these days and definitely don’t miss all the trucking I’ve done. Too many idiots on the roads these days!
@@gravytrainoutdoors I was mostly tired of the trucks. Companies don't take care of them. Ranges from annoying and unpleasant to drive, to downright dangerous.
his truck is sliding like that because he's trying to use the engine to slow the truck knowing the brakes will lock up the front tires making him loose steering. if the truck gets to sideways you push the clutch in and she should straighten right up
I'd retired from OTR Long Haul Truck driving , Back in 2016 after 36 yrs of service and Through 48 lower States and PLEASE BELIEVE ME I DON'T MISS ONE FREAKING MINUTE !!! I'D DIDN'T DRIVE IN OR DOING SNOW STORMS " IF " I COULD HELP IT !!!! AND WHENEVER TRUCKING COMPANIES ASKED ME TO KEEP ON GOING ! I TELL EM LET MY SPEAK TO HEAD OF SAFETY ! MY PRIME DIRECTIVE WAS TO GET LOAD TO DESTINATION LEGALLY AND SAFETY ! NOW ID SAID GIVE IT TO ME IN WRITING , I WON'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT CAUSE BY DRIVING IN DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITION , IF NOT I'M HEADING FOR A PLACE TO SHOUT DOWN AND START MY DAILY 10 HR BREAK PERIOD ! AND ALMOST 99% ROADWAYS WOULD PLOWED AND CLEAR , BY THEN ! FULL STOP 🛑🛑🛑

Paradise Road it was so stupid, the guy had chains on his truck but couldn’t run them without taking the fenders off. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen other guys refuse to chainup until it’s too late. They either spinout and slid backwards off the road or spin the chains off their tires after throwing chains on after the fact
Truck is out of control and it is saved by hardened road edge. You can see that wheels are blocked all the way down. You want to keep in neutral all the way down, so that you got some steering steering and control. Here truck is in the mercy of road profile. And also needs to check grounding of the rear lights.
"out of control truck:??? Where do you see that? You know nothing about driving a truck. He never once hit his brakes ( the flashers would have stopped and the brake lights would have came on ) He did a damn good job coming down a very slick hill. "narrowly missing sliding of the road".... point being he DID NOT SLIDE OFF THE ROAD !! and that was NO fluke !! People that post these misleading CLICKBAIT videos like you did are just another of the annoying aspects of the internet.

@@gravytrainoutdoors Keyboard warrior ?? Well motor mouth I've been trucking OTR for 42+ years now with the last 21 as an owner / operator running up into the Yukon and Northwest Territories hauling specialized cargo. I'm accident free and have 3.2 million miles behind me. I am very much qualified to voice my opinion on this misleading clickbait video. The driver of that roll-off truck did a good job getting it down the hill ! So, genius, what did he hit ? Did he go off the road?? Did he damage the truck?? Did he endanger any other vehicles ?? I think even you can answer these questions.......
A skilled driver indeed! But how and why did he ever continue up that road knowing that he would have to go down that hill again, probably with a heavier truck? Did he never think about what could happen when confronted with an approaching vehicle? It borders on the irresponsible!
My thoughts exactly. I find it amazing how many people will comment about how the truck driver was in total control as he slid down the road in a full drift. I wonder how many of those commenters would think the same way if they were driving up that road and say that truck sliding uncontrollably down the at right at them!
Not cool. Let this man do his job and stop endangering his livelihood by filming it and posting the video. That could seriously harm this man's career.
Bg676...then as a fellow "truckdriver" as you claim you'd see he was in fact totally in control on that slippery downhill.... In fact he was a pretty skilled driver to maintain control while going downhill on the ice... I don't think his 20 ton truck slide anymore than your 1 ton you were driving...

..not a “semi” either. Just a dump truck…
Still a class 8 vehicle
The driver of that truck is a wizard!!!! Congratulation!!!!!
Good Job Mr. Truck Driver , ❤️
One thing I learned driving a semi over the road years ago is ride the clutch not the brake on slick roads. My learning lesson was in Pennsylvania , a whiteout hit me and I was going down a steep grade I slammed and stood on the brakes went side ways and almost off a cliff got it back under control and starting working that clutch and barely the brakes and lived to tell about it.
I was also the truck in 2000 that weaved through that big deadly pile up during that huge ice storm in OK city when it all broke loose because of 15 + truck convoy going to fast .But although that day I was the only truck that didn't crash, turnover or kill anyone during that pile up and came out right through the crashing I can honestly say God had the wheel.

Also was in an ice store in OK city ,I will take snow anyday and I have seen some of the worst accidents in PA involving trucks and snow in winter
Kinda cool if you ask me. Looks like the front axle was pretty stable. I think that's a drift by definition!
