Just seeing this now. I was a driver for almost 30 years. I was lucky- only out OTR for about 2 years, and that was back in the early 90s. We didn’t have all the cool stuff you guys got now- and I ran alot of Wisconsin and Northern IL over those 2 winters- so I remember how nasty it can be. I was lucky enough to land a “local” job and that’s where I was for 25 years. I’m retired now and have to say- I don’t miss it one bit. Thanks for being out there and keeping it rolling- rain shine or snow. Take care and stay safe out there sir.
@@Edward_Flips I appreciate the offer but as I said, I only did 2 yrs OTR and that was back in the early mid 90s. Things were WAY different then. And I wasn’t running a business. I was driving for an O/O who owned 3 trucks. The majority of my experience was in a “local” job with an LTL carrier. I was just a driver and freight handler. A peon. Nothing to do with the “business” aspects, although it was a good career and allowed me to retire early. I just wouldn’t be much help to you.

As important as all you truckers are, you are so under appreciated for all your efforts in making it possible for use to get the things we need and want.. Thank you for your service.
oh please, its not like he is doing it for free. he is paid a pretty penny for doing that. you should thank teachers and some social workers.... now they are doing community service and molding the future for a pittance
I got stuck at the Love's truck stop in Cheyenne, Wyoming last year for 3 days because of a massive blizzard/snowstorm, it was crazy how cold it got and how much it snowed. Luckily for me, my APU worked like a charm and I had plenty of food.
There're few things better than having a nice, cozy parking spot when a storm is coming in. I love to burrow in and watch it through my windshield with a cup of coffee in hand and the heater blowing. Good times.
I was a trucker - eventually hated it. I never had a very nice truck, but my company put me up in motels and hotel. I went back to college and became a technologist
It’s great you tube vids allow those of us who appreciate your job! There has been no way to write and thank you all! Stay safe, and thanks a million for your driving to keep us all supplied with the things we need, you’re amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏻✨
That's just a dusting of snow. It's Sunday, it's the weekend, get a plastic bucket and a plastic bag, ( keep it outside ) get some goodies and a lot lizard and enjoy your weekend.
Have you Slept in a Camper in a snowstorm or Thunder Storm not much different i am a owner Oporater Hotshot Truck Driver i started with a Chevy Conversion Van and 16ft Flat Bed Trailer currently have a Chevy Z71 Extended Cab Short Bed 18ft utility trailer a Chevy Blazer 10×5 flat bed trailer a GMC Envoy 16ft Flat Bed Trailer A International Loadstar Flat Bed Sleeper Conversion Truck Camper 30ft Enclosed Trailer and newest Rig Class C Coachman Motorhome 30ft Enclosed Trailer i got started Hotshot trucking through my dad and uncle they have a OTR Semi Trucking company they would pass smaller loads they didn't want to haul on to me and I've been trucking every since
Some of the best sleep I’ve ever had was in a truck sleeper out on the road during a snowstorm or thunderstorm. Got fuel in the tanks for heat, some food and drinks in the fridge, and you know you can’t move anyway. Just kick off the boots, strip off the jeans, and crawl into the bunk under the covers. Pretty sweet.
1984 Ohio. Brand new kenworth stuck at 46 truck stop. Heater takes a shit. Ice on windows etc I had to drive it to Hubbard about 15 min away. Held my head out the window so I could see. Good old days or not. Lol
I have been taking a piece of chalk and Marking on my tires at 12 o'clock move up about a foot or 2 and get out and Look at all my tires and if that mark moved My wheels are good
Always always before you park your truck rocking back and forth a few times that way your tires won't melt down into the snow and be stuck in the morning and all-time trucker told me that
get you some thick white chalk to draw a line from the center to the outside of your tire rubber. that will make it easier to see that the tire is rotating. i do both sides directly across from the other. then you wont look like that Prime truck dragging wheels. that O/O getting ready to pay some bucks.
Look at videos of Russian truckers tricks. They shove empty plastic bottles over one or two lug nuts on each tire, so they can see if their wheels are all turning from their driver's seat. All the bottles sticking out should be moving when the truck is moving.
Snowed in Heck I stopped at the TA in Wytheville VA few years ago and got up to snow to top of the fuel tanks car trucks parked everywhere you couldn't get a bicycle thru the parking lot and people sleeping all over the floor in the truck stop That is being snowed in
20 years seat time and back in the 90s i got snowed in at little america in Wyoming for five days.. Another time i was at boom town for a week waiting on donner to open. Good times lol not!!!
Drove for decades. Nothing more nerve wracking than snowy icy weather. Many drivers do not take it seriously and start sliding around. Lot of amateurs on the road in bad weather. Got to watch them. Nerve wracking. Had good fortune driving in those conditions but it freaked me out.
I got news for you .... What you posted here was not snow... it was at most, a flurry. I got stranded at The Windmill Truckstop near Rapid City back in 85. It snowed so hard that it filled the spaces between the trucks (where you were walking 14:15) all the way to the top of the vans. You could walk on top of the vans from one end of the line to the other. I-90 was shut down for almost a week & the restaurant started running out of food. Now THAT was snow...
Just popped up in my recommendations 🤷 Middle of summer and surprising!y hot here in the UK (won't last) Thanks TH-cam random algorithm great vid much appreciated
Lol flat ground if you sitting because snow wow Laredo 1 night coming mass snow ice wind blow trailer side ways I kept goin slow Oklahoma wet road in the wind .
Well Rams beat NO yesterday and I thought NO had it and Rams pulled out a magic trick 3 pointer. Do you keep ice melt on your truck? Good for in front of your tires as to keep traction on your way out. Safe travels in this frigid cold.
Do you have the engine running all night, when its this cold? Or do you have diesel parking heaters to keep the cabin warm, like in Europe? Keep trucking and stay safe!
I used to shop the out,etc mall at Jeffersonville. Today they are gone! The big outlet is still there but the smaller one is completely empty. Big drug trafficking g I. Jeffersonville! Stay safe!
Both games went to overtime, the Rams beat the Saints by a field goal, and the Pats beat the Chiefs by a touch down, both every entertaining games. Drive Safe!
The nys thruway system would NEVER look that bad.. their maintinance dept should be ashamed of themself.. we would be getting call outs hours before the snow starts and pre treat and have the shoulders in perfect condition.
Not a trucker but local delivery driver. As a owner operator would you charge more during winter times if transporting across multiple climates? Like oranges in Florida to Chicago which out here has reached -30° wind chills . Thanks for sharing.
If you call ankle deep snow enough to be snowbound, don't ever come up to Canada in the Winter. I've seen the snow so deep you couldn't see rigs coming the opposite way, just the glow of their headlights above the snow. Everyone just kept on truckin. lol (that was on the Coke - the road they made the program "Highway through Hell" about.)
@@AnthonyBlackbeard Rocking back & forth then checking to see if the wheels turned or slid is NOT a pretrip inspection! Do a proper pretrip & you won't have to say "I think we are good". What does the weather have to do with performing a pretrip inspection?
I’ve lived a long time and one thing I’ve learned , THERE IS NO BOTTOM TO STUPID ! If you cuss that guy out it don’t mean nothing to him ,he’ll still be stupid tomorrow!

Coolest trucker ever he has Chuck Taylor shoes.
When I was Truckin', there were times I PRAYED to find a Truck Stop in a Snow Storm, at least until I saw Snowplows!!
What's wrong with pulling to the side of a freeway. I just got my cdl, educate me on this.
Are you missing a left mirror ?
Yeah man! Did you make a hole in the snow?!!! 😂😂
Reminds me of the Love's outside of Denver 7 months ago.
All of that dangling stuff would drive me nuts!
1984 Ohio. Brand new kenworth stuck at 46 truck stop. Heater takes a shit.
Ice on windows etc I had to drive it to Hubbard about 15 min away. Held my head out the window so I could see.
Good old days or not. Lol

Keep up the good work, I learned a lot to join your team soon, safe ride and come home safe sir.
I like that Falcons hat my man!
I have been taking a piece of chalk and Marking on my tires at 12 o'clock move up about a foot or 2 and get out and Look at all my tires and if that mark moved My wheels are good
That’s good idea. Usually just turn back forth and try to watch them haha
Very cool man good luck
So cool....
Good pre trip inspection " I think were good"
I drove I71 during this snow.
Always always before you park your truck rocking back and forth a few times that way your tires won't melt down into the snow and be stuck in the morning and all-time trucker told me that
Thank god for ALL you folks on the road!

I’ve heard of that. Getting close to snow time maybe I should get me some chalk and put in the truck

That looks like sheer bliss to me.... I miss snow...
Man, I went tru the same thing last winter in Ohio and West Virgina so be safe on them roads bro watch out for crazy Drivers.
That’s the biggest part watching out for the other drivers
Loved getting snowed in.
I came over to check out your channel. Super TruckerDan said he liked where your videos are going so I subscribed.
Thanks Cory
Thank you truckers.
Gotta luv that automatic
Sometimes right

Got stuck 3 days in Saginaw Mich. It sucked. Fortunately close park to truckstop and fuel pumps to stay warm. Everything was shut down for 3 days
No pre-trip inspection, no post trip inspection and a missing left fender mirror. 🤔
Crank the heater and stay warm
Drove for decades. Nothing more nerve wracking than snowy icy weather. Many drivers do not take it seriously and start sliding around. Lot of amateurs on the road in bad weather. Got to watch them. Nerve wracking. Had good fortune driving in those conditions but it freaked me out.
Stay warm
U should be used to driving around in that weather
@Bowie Dash fuck you
Rather you than me, it looks really cold there. I'll stick with LA. LOL

Your true. I’ve been in some snow but nothing major where it’s super dangerous to drive in or u can’t even get out of a parking lot
oh look, another “bACk iN mY dAy” comment.
Tom Lynx lol I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
Just popped up in my recommendations 🤷
Middle of summer and surprising!y hot here in the UK (won't last)
Thanks TH-cam random algorithm great vid much appreciated
Stay safe and if possible keep some food snacks and beverages with you in the truck
Tennis Shoes in the snow? Not the best idea if you don't want to fall!
Lol flat ground if you sitting because snow wow Laredo 1 night coming mass snow ice wind blow trailer side ways I kept goin slow Oklahoma wet road in the wind .
The weatherman says another snowstorm is coming next weekend again!!!! I'm done with the snow for this year!!
That ta in Lodi has great food!

Safe travels
Some people are idiots when it come to tractor trailers. Stay safe.
I have seen this many times over in 31 years on the road. I miss it now.
Do you have the engine running all night, when its this cold? Or do you have diesel parking heaters to keep the cabin warm, like in Europe?
Keep trucking and stay safe!
I don't live in the German belt anymore so snow & ice or black ice no longer my problem
so you had to stop on a snowy incline for some pedestrian traffic, and had to back down the incline in order to make it back up?
That's my truck that passed At 10:19 and the gold color GMC Envoy at 10:20 is my wife following
That’s. Thanks crazy really. How did u come across this video and fine your truck?
Looks like somebody took out your hood mirror. That's why you never set the brakes on the trailer, when is that cold.
Yea swift just about took out my hood a while back. All good now. When swift finally paid up
Brrr. No snow here, come on down!
I used to shop the out,etc mall at Jeffersonville. Today they are gone! The big outlet is still there but the smaller one is completely empty. Big drug trafficking g I. Jeffersonville! Stay safe!
The lot lizards be wearin snow boots
I hate winter but I love nights like this
Tennis shoes? Lol
I actually miss those days! Snow layovers were off the chain! lol 😂
Thankfully there are those who still drive the K-whopper
Except the toilet situation, this looks like it might be a little fun. As long as it is for only a few days, tops.
I'd be making an emergency in-truck toilet plan because would be awful to fall on the ice and break a bone!
Being from Australia I find it strange that you guys all seem to run single trailers. Why don’t you run doubles or triples?
Be safe tks.
Watching this on 01/19/22. A little late but I get to see what a difference Let'sGoBrandon makes on the trucking industry. FJB
Careful on the ice.
Be safe.
I guess the hood mirror fell off😋😳?
"PANAMA RE LOCATION TOURS! WITH JACKIE!🙋😊👍❤👈"
Do not apply your trailer brakes, they are bad to freeze up.
Brrr!!!😁👍
Who locks their trailer tires in the winter .if you do they you are a Rookie. Never lock them if you do they will freeze
Both games went to overtime, the Rams beat the Saints by a field goal, and the Pats beat the Chiefs by a touch down, both every entertaining games. Drive Safe!
Well it looks like you're going 2 get your 72 hr reset lol
Must be great to just piss off in a truck and park up sometimes and chill out sems bliss and you get to travel country ..,id carry tho just in case
Hello.
I'm interested in company otr trucking. However, I'm eager to ask, what exactly has trucking done for your life?
That is actually thee town of Octa ,Ohio. Southwest of Columbus Ohio. Every thing at that exit is in ,Octa, Ohio.
Gotcha. They definitely get their share of snow. I just seem to catch it at the wrong time
We all are shut down here in Laramie Wyoming, right now. I am at Love's Travel Station, right across thee Street is ,can not even see it.
Hey Anthony what is life like being a trucker?
The nys thruway system would NEVER look that bad.. their maintinance dept should be ashamed of themself.. we would be getting call outs hours before the snow starts and pre treat and have the shoulders in perfect condition.
Is the automatic better than a stick shift
Do you leave your truck running all night? Can you plug in for electric?
Stay in the south to avoid this stuff. Better weather less stress.
Dot get that mirror I'm the front
Not a trucker but local delivery driver. As a owner operator would you charge more during winter times if transporting across multiple climates? Like oranges in Florida to Chicago which out here has reached -30° wind chills . Thanks for sharing.
Try to charge more but some of these brokers hold to their numbers and makes it even harder for us drivers out here
Anthony Blackbeard ahh I see... I’m sure the major carriers have a play in a situation like that as well... JB Hunt, SWIFT, FedEx, CR England, etc...
You can chatge whatever you want, but getting paid is another story!
I've been to that ta before but not in snow
I hate driving in snow

Can't imaging being a trucker and not using Everblade heated wipers?
I thought about investing in a set
You would love them. These wipers are great in the winter. See them at www.everblades.com
I am Everglades and I approved these comments
I think we are good, what the hell what happened to a pretrip?
Your right on that. Didn’t look ahead at the weather

No snow here in GA
Stick to trucking and not betting on football lol
That’s why I’m not a gambler. Vegas would love me
Jacked a towel from the truck stop for your wet shoes?? Well done sir
I probably took one also lol
Better snowed in there than on the highway
Been snowed in Wyoming a few times for 3 days plus, drivers stock your trucks with canned food
Your football prediction was way off, and Daniel quit TH-cam!
Betcha all the canadian truckers left ages ago.
Why are you showing this 5 years old
