Sir, my husband asked me to write you for him. He really enjoys your videos, they help him feel better about himself. He was an OTR driver for 35 years. His career was ended when he fell and broke his neck and back. One of the trucks he drove was like yours except his upholstery was brown and his radio was in a different spot. Watching you with the way your camera is set makes him feel like he is behind the wheel driving again. This is wonderful therapy for him. We both want to thank you "for taking him along". We live in Washington State, 100 miles north of Spokane. God bless, be safe and enjoy the road.
Ma’am please tell your husband Thank You for keeping products on the shelves and keeping America strong for 35 years, tell him he is in the prayers of decent folk. Thank you both.❤
I am a career driver. I was medically retired after 46 years due to several back surgeries. Watching your videos makes me feel like im trucking again. Thank you and stay safe out there steve.
You're right - changing fuel filters in absolutely cold, windy & snow is one of the least favorite activities that a driver can experience. You're truly a brother and a saint for taking the time to help out the Gentry's. Hope all works out for the better, but we all know recovering from a devastating loss like that won't be an easy task. Drive safe!
No, that wasn't theatrics when he got back in Orwell because I'm here to tell you that it's just miserable to try to do any kind of work or project in weather like that without your hands feeling like they're on the edge of hypothermia or like when your fingers get stuck to ice.
День добрый. Большой привет из Карелии Россия. Очень обожаю Американские без капотные грузовики. Сам работаю на без капотнике грузовике SISU грузовик сделан в Финляндии. И зимы конечно у нас по суровее.
Was in a thunder snow storm on I -80 in the Pa. Mountains years back. I went the close as i could see the gaurd well with a 48 ft dump trailer and waited for someone to plow into the trailer.Thank good ness it never happend The white outs are common in these hills and not a joke
Half speed is fine such terrible conditions. They are not for everyone but I find it helpful to have a set of amber slip over glasses to keep the eye strain down when all yo see is whiteout.
I thought about that too. At first I was sorry to see him trapped back there, but in the long run, I think he was actually glad to have Pete running interference for him. He could have easily and safely passed many times on those long straight roads, but I don't think he really even wanted to go any faster himself and was glad to have someone running ahead of him.
41:57 Awesome plow rig! A trailer with rock salt and salt brine! The driver calls up with his computer what he wants to put down. Office manager reads the satellite weather and tells the driver suggestions. Or orders!
Your a great friend brother praying for the gentry's and you and every one helping. Couldn't make it up that way to help but there in my prayers God bless them and you 🙏 sir
The joys of winter driving. If your diving slower because it’s slippery, we’ll that’s what ya got to do. This video brought some memories for sure. Sometimes ya just get no where fast. High sided trailer’s with little weight in them on an icy road with heavy winds always kept ya puckered up tightly. But after you drove through crap like that there was a sense of accomplishment. Drivers earn there keep in winter time. Loved the video FSC. We got a first hand look on what’s it like for an OTR driver. Well FSC have a great and a safe day, happy trails and happy motoring….
My first large car was a transtar 2 I'm 61 and have 37 years in the business. Off the last two years from cellulitis. Miss it all. Nice COE. My transtar was too. Lived in it sometimes. Safe travels.
A little late to the party here but I could watch this driving in the snow for hours. Secondary roads to boot. Esp since I’m from NE Ohio and these types of roads are what I grew up on.
Just discovered your channel this evening. Really enjoyed every minute of this trip with you very entertaining. Love seeing that 362 still out there working away. My dream rig is a 352. double sleeper with a 3406B. Great spending time with you be safe!!!!! A truckers life is never easy!
Good dream Many love the 52 over 62 just for its little round headlights. And yet believe it or not there's a little quirky group that has a loyalty to the 372 but we used to call the football helmet I drove one of them 372's in my early careers back into early 90s for victory Express long before they were merged into US Express
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist I seriously can't believe that GoPro camera lasted more than 5 mins on that trailer in that extreme cold. I thought to would have ruined the whole camera.
@@itsjustme9318 no those high-end GoPros they're made for all weather all year round they've got a very durable shell. They test them and all kinds of extremes from insane heat to Arctic temperatures. The high-end ones are very rugged The cheaper ones aren't like that but you ever watch like those things on TH-cam or someone skiing down the mountain and it's their point of view they got to GoPro on top of their head in the freezing cold that's pretty much the kind of one I think Steve has to it's one of the high-end ones but when you're making videos like that sometimes the expense will pay for itself in the long run.
Difficult driving conditions most definitely, I'm from the UK, I was working in Iowa many years ago in similar conditions, rental cars don't give you much in winter emergency driving kit. It was 35 miles each way from hotel to the customer, bottle of water froze in centre console whilst driving every day over one weekend. Great video Steve, and much kudos for helping Tim . Thanks for sharing
I worked 10 hr days building clean coal power houses in Pampa , TX . Winter of 1978 had days in a row at and colder than 40 below Zero . Plus 45 to 50 mile per hour breezes . With humidity and wind speed wind chills at 80 degrees below chill . Two steps out doors breaking ice out of mustache and beard . Helpers used sledge hammers to beat on cat walks and decks . From floor to floor 10’ feet long ice sickles . Structure was 435 feet tall , smoke stack was 1100 feet tall . We complained but kept on working on the structure
Just to say this is fun the guys that deliver food to small businesses with a hand truck to 30 stops these are the guys working driving this truck is fun it work but not compared to what I did for 25 years he's working hard give me a break lmfao
Awesome video, that trip must have been exhausting, with the road conditions and driving a real truck where shifting is required unlike these new trucks. Thanks for taking me on your trip, happy safe trucking.
Love your videos. Been driving 28 years started off in a cab over truck . But never went back East only 11 western . But love to watch old school trucker like yourself. Be safe and have a good one .
Loved the video. You’re a brave man pulling that empty trailer through all that. Every American should see this to see what kind of crap people have to go through to keep America moving. They wouldn’t understand all of it but maybe they would get a sense of it. Probably not 😒 In a different life (many many moons ago) I hauled produce from Florida up to Boston and potatoes from Northern Maine and Canada (400 miles from the southern Maine border on 95) back down south in the winter. Took me a few lessons to learn not to pop my trailer brakes overnight with an empty trailer. The only trucks I’ve ever driven OTR were cab over Freightliners. Your videos bring back waves of memories. I do miss it but I don’t think my blood pressure would let me live the way people are now. I would be in a constant state of pissed off. Hah! Be safe bro and keep us moving 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That was fun to watch but I'm glad I live in the south. I did drive about 2 hours in the snow once to spend the weekend with my then future wife & that was enough for me.
Yah man this is basically it since Hollywood gone nuts stars are crybabys pretty chic stars don't care walk right by them no business for themselves anymore lol
Hey I’m so proud of you for going to Tim when your friend needs help. I pray that something good will turn out of this! I love watching y’all TH-cam Sometimes I just want to come out of retirement !!! Stay safe!!!!
Buddy of mine ordered a new 362 in like 1999, he ordered an auxiliary floor heater. Had a unit behind the driver seat, mostly in the cubby hole that blew air forward from the factory
I knew exactly where you were in Elkhart County changing filters. I really dig your truck, the cabover sleepers are my favorite. I am trying to find, and I'll pay a finders fee if need be, but the years for the International Eagle 9800 Condo Sleep Flat Floor Cabover I want is 97 98 99. The ole JB Hunt, Walmart, and others used them used in their fleet. The truck is not for hire so, it doesn't need to be perfect. I am going to paint and do the interior to my own liking. My only concern is runs engine and trans, and that it's able to be driven now when I buy. was born and raised in South bend, IN, 40 yrs, and I worked over there in the RV capital of the world. All my family is still there but 6 yrs ago I moved to Asheville, NC, Smoky/Blue Ridge Mountain. That weather wasn't too bad for the people that live there. We are used to it and drive like notta going on, just another day. South bend, IN, there is one of the top 10 snowiest cities in the US, lake effect is bad on a regular.
I saw a sign for Valparaiso Indiana. That's where I live. Yes roads were bad I had to work the day before and the day after Christmas drove with my blinkers on impossible to see the edges of the road
My right foot used to shake on the throttle on the hills in Mass from Ct up to Albany NY empty and not as bad on the way back loaded.They plow much better up there.Enter CT and its a skating ring. Retired in 2019.Don't miss a thing.Still dream about it 10 years later.
My father had and drove over 50 years. He started out in the 30s hauling nitro glycerin out of California deadman’s curve. He made a ton of money hauling that stuff. They didn’t have all the fancy stuff to make sure it didn’t explode, and if your brakes went out prepare to bail. He was making a grand a week way back then, which a incredible sum. He saved enough and started a trucking company himself
Worst white out I was in was hauling pick ups in Wyoming last winter. I counted 28 semi’s jack knifed and you couldn’t see past your hood at times. The DOT closed freeway and forced us all off in Cheyenne
I like seeing the signs along the road. Especially the ones showing cities and State parks. Another thing, have you tried putting the hand warmer packets in your gloves? I get them at sporting good stores. Small ones are about 1inch by 2 inch. Just a thought. Stay warm!! Looks like a long winter!!
Way back in the early 70s I road with my neighbor in a Mack cab-over from the facility in Eleva Wisconsin up to Warroad Minnesota with a load of mink food. It was 30 below zero which was about normal for that time of year but the heater in the truck didn't work. That was a fun trip.
Oh my goodness, you started out in Edon, Ohio. I run Menards loads out of Holiday City which isn’t that far from there and I live in Hillsdale, Michigan which is about 30 minutes from that truck stop. I stop there all the time to get fuel. Maybe one of these days I’ll run into you either there or out on the road.
Had something similar on the 10 in Biloxi a down pour so intense you couldn't see 1 foot in front of you. Fortunately you could barley see a sign with an arrow that said rest area. Stayed there for an hour along with 15 or so other trucks an rvs
I'm a lifelong Ohioan and the areas you drove through in this video are some of my favorite parts of Ohio. Even though you were driving through western Ohio and I live in eastern Ohio, A LOT of the state looks like it does in your vid when you get away from the big cities. It's not as interesting to drive through in weather like this, but during the summer you drive through these areas and see all kinds of old auto shops and garages and places like that with vintage cars and trucks parked around. Then you'll come to the small town center that is 150 years old and still looks just like a "frontier" town, just with modern cars parked all around instead of horses, and a modern gas station here and there. It's the USA as it used to be in "the good old days"...just a little more dilapidated than it was in its heyday.
I hate when the roads get lumpy packed ice and snow that the plows and salt won't remove. Driving becomes a whole new challenge then. I feel your pain in the extreme cold it makes my bones ache.
Yesterday in a parking lot in North Dakota, the lot at a Flying J was so bad my fro t end would slide sideways straight line backing... That's how bac the ice was.
In NY....when a car goes in the ditch, the troopers check if they're OK, give them a ride and mark the vehicle as checked, then drag it out in the next clear day.
I had to work in the cold too over the Christmas holidays and I just laired up and took my time getting to where I needed to be granted the roads were no way like that here in Southeast Texas. I think it goes to show you that when the money is available, you clam up and don't use any excuses because you're going to find that the whole hysteria is not as bad as it seems if you use common sense and know when to get off the road or when you want to end your day before the road gets in that shape.
when you stop at loves in edon ,ohio i live only maybe 12 miles from there in hamilton lake,indiana .the guy on us 20 in columbia,oh with the old trucks is a old friend of mine his name is leonard he drove truck many years ago ,i drove truck for 10years myself, i watch your videos every day and have traveled many of the same places you have.be safe on your travels.
Back in the day you used to be able to buy a rod that had a ratcheting mechanism on it that would go up or down similar to an old bumper jack but much smaller and it was used the set your idle or in some cases it was used as cruise control by some of the super truckers out there.
I agree, Steve. Keeping it nice and slow on the back roads rather than deal with all the loonies on the Interstate was the right choice. The odds of an idiot closing down all the lanes for hours is too great.
That caboose would've been a great load for you if you had an extendable lowboy trailer, you could put in heated seats for your cold rear-end,Lol😅😂🤣,yeah,they have them here in Kansas city Kansas & Kansas city Missouri for the interstates
gotta get you a Garmin Dezl man. it's saved my skin a few times it always goes the truck route. I never pay tolls except for NJ... those Jersey sob's lol
That truck following you because they knew your safe and trustworthy. I miss the traveling and pay,the old school trucks and drivers..esp when making it through challenging conditions. 25 yrs and 2.5 million miles till the bastards took me off the road for medical reasons.
It's so amazing how many people drive with their full ways on that I'm passing you up and I also believe that tow truck should wait until after to get the cars off the road but they do it because they can charge a more
Hey how is your new year going. Man that wind looks like a really cold blast from hell and back but that's what makes it interesting stay safe and warm and keep up the great content

That’s a career to be proud of.
35 years that deserves respect and gratitude...an an tell your husband he is still a man an a man that likes good trucks an good video's
sir did you every pull a bull rack with the cabover?

It is a crummy job but it is better to do the filter changes at a truck stop rather than stuck on the road.
I’m not a trucker. Is there that much crap in the fuel, or is it related to the weather? How often are fuel filters normally changed?
BOY I DONT MISS THOSE DAYS DRIVING IN WINTER WEATHER THANK GOD IM RETIRED LOVE THE CO PETE GOOD LUCK OUT THERE AND GOD BLESS

All about control . Do this do that

Weather Channel gives you a keyhole view instead of opening a f****** door to see the whole picture
Half speed is fine such terrible conditions. They are not for everyone but I find it helpful to have a set of amber slip over glasses to keep the eye strain down when all yo see is whiteout.
hats off to the truck behind ya, not rushing or trying to pass ya

I think the worst snow storm I remember was January 1985 in Saginaw Michigan Another good video Steve KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇸 🚛 🐘 👏
Steve this is why I've been watching your channel for 3yrs great stuff still Man
Awesome video, that trip must have been exhausting, with the road conditions and driving a real truck where shifting is required unlike these new trucks. Thanks for taking me on your trip, happy safe trucking.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles as they lasted in the cold. Also enjoy the commentary stay safe and warm Steve.
Nicely done that filter change in those weather conditions ! 🥸🥸🥸

Thank you for your video,hope you stay safe. from Queensland Australia
Be careful out there stay warm

You mean the snow or the wife ... 😳🤪😂😎
The snow.🤣 Still married to the wife.😂
@@randyogburn2498 Excellent!! We celebrated 50 years together last year. Best decision I ever made! Blessings
Glad ya made it, bet your glad you had your “Green APU” and changing filters in the cold sucks
Your channel is better than anything in tv
Yah man this is basically it since Hollywood gone nuts stars are crybabys pretty chic stars don't care walk right by them no business for themselves anymore lol
Hey I’m so proud of you for going to Tim when your friend needs help. I pray that something good will turn out of this! I love watching y’all TH-cam Sometimes I just want to come out of retirement !!! Stay safe!!!!
I used to go that way when they were redoing the bridges in Indiana. I put many a mile on a 362 double bunk. If I ever see ya I'll throw a wave.
Buddy of mine ordered a new 362 in like 1999, he ordered an auxiliary floor heater. Had a unit behind the driver seat, mostly in the cubby hole that blew air forward from the factory
Based on the videos you show I can tell you're an experienced good driver, good job sir
Thank you that was awesome from R S Hammer Trucking LLC.
Even the soccer moms like drifting in the snow! 😆
We used to make envelopes out of house insulation and wire them around the filters. Plus running two cycle Detroits the fuel stayed warmer.
By taking 20, you helped out the local traffic (your footprint helps clear the lane). The slower speed might give you better fuel mileage.
Thanks for the ride
Beautiful evening brother man it Shure looks cold be safe

Man... You really gorilla armed those filters...💪
Oh my goodness, you started out in Edon, Ohio.

Great vid bud .. say hi to Tim & family for us, awaiting on a up date
Just to let you know, I never froze up until I started buying Loves fuel. Even when I ran western Canada,-50.
Guess we'll see you on Ice road truckers next season...thanks for the coverage!
Steve, have you ever considered powering the Go-Pro's from the trucks accessories circuit. Hopefully it's possible.

Do Amish power slide buggy's in this conditions ?
😁
with enough effort they can (I think).
There's a video of a guy doing that yes they can do it
Snow storms ain’t no joke this year, stay safe!
I keep a gallon of diesel in my side box along with a siphon hose. If my tanks are full, I can submerge the filter inside my tanks to fill it.
I hate when the roads get lumpy packed ice and snow that the plows and salt won't remove. Driving becomes a whole new challenge then. I feel your pain in the extreme cold it makes my bones ache.
Yesterday in a parking lot in North Dakota, the lot at a Flying J was so bad my fro t end would slide sideways straight line backing... That's how bac the ice was.
In NY....when a car goes in the ditch, the troopers check if they're OK, give them a ride and mark the vehicle as checked, then drag it out in the next clear day.
Be safe out in the bad cold weather I love watching your TH-cam channel I hope you make it through the storm be safe bud
Your not kidding wow , stay safe mate
I had to work in the cold too over the Christmas holidays and I just laired up and took my time getting to where I needed to be granted the roads were no way like that here in Southeast Texas. I think it goes to show you that when the money is available, you clam up and don't use any excuses because you're going to find that the whole hysteria is not as bad as it seems if you use common sense and know when to get off the road or when you want to end your day before the road gets in that shape.
Love cabovers keep on trucking good buddy
left exhaust pipe works , right doesn't but
What’s funny is the f150 getting a free ride behind you. Nothing new there,blast the slush away the truck driver knows the way. Lmao
when you stop at loves in edon ,ohio i live only maybe 12 miles from there in hamilton lake,indiana .the guy on us 20 in columbia,oh with the old trucks is a old friend of mine his name is leonard he drove truck many years ago ,i drove truck for 10years myself, i watch your videos every day and have traveled many of the same places you have.be safe on your travels.
24 is a Good route they recently switched some of the parts to an actual highway. You can make it across that as fast as 80.
Back in the day you used to be able to buy a rod that had a ratcheting mechanism on it that would go up or down similar to an old bumper jack but much smaller and it was used the set your idle or in some cases it was used as cruise control by some of the super truckers out there.
I remember them.
Hew buddy keep warm an safe out there buddy good luck see you soon
Good driver in bad weather...! 👍
I agree, Steve. Keeping it nice and slow on the back roads rather than deal with all the loonies on the Interstate was the right choice. The odds of an idiot closing down all the lanes for hours is too great.
I always slow down and check out the old trucks at that guy's place. Go by there everyday

That caboose would've been a great load for you if you had an extendable lowboy trailer, you could put in heated seats for your cold rear-end,Lol😅😂🤣,yeah,they have them here in Kansas city Kansas & Kansas city Missouri for the interstates
All flatland driving, do some rocky mountain runs during white-outs, would make it a lot more interesting.
gotta get you a Garmin Dezl man. it's saved my skin a few times it always goes the truck route. I never pay tolls except for NJ... those Jersey sob's lol
Need to install a Davco fuel filter/heater, on Orwell
I have a factory Peterbilt "Hotline".
I have not been in bad weather like that in year's when i had to take loads to Canada. And trust me it was windy.
That truck following you because they knew your safe and trustworthy. I miss the traveling and pay,the old school trucks and drivers..esp when making it through challenging conditions. 25 yrs and 2.5 million miles till the bastards took me off the road for medical reasons.
It's so amazing how many people drive with their full ways on that I'm passing you up and I also believe that tow truck should wait until after to get the cars off the road but they do it because they can charge a more
What up STEVE
long time no see ,
HAPPY New YEAR to you and your family my friend
be safe take care yourselves STEVE
Rather you than me. Cool levelheaded driving.
Hey how is your new year going. Man that wind looks like a really cold blast from hell and back but that's what makes it interesting stay safe and warm and keep up the great content
Gopro has some white Enduro batterie besides the normal bleu ones, they last a little bit longer in the cold. Greetings from The. Netherlands (Europe)
