When I was in Norway, I remember driving those mountain roads made me dizzy even in summer. I asked a lady who lived near the top of a mountain how they drove on those roads in winter. She said "very carefully."

So wonderful and educative video for truck drivers to be aware of during winter weather. But my personal and humble advice for truck drivers in this kind of weather:" just find yourself a safe and secure place and shut down. Nothing in the whole world is worth it loosing your truck, your load, your trailer and the most important thing yourself (if you were lucky). Yours truly.
Берегите свои жизни ребята и никогда не проезжайте мимо тех кому нужна помощь, ведь в следующий раз она может понадобиться вам. Наша работа опасна, но кто её выбрал по другому жить не может. Я много раз и плакала и думала умру от страха и выброса адреналина, но пробыв дома две или три недели снова хочу вернуться на дорогу. Для меня это не работа а жизнь. Видео супер!
Дороги Норвегии.Как это все знакомо!!!До 2010 были дороги Якутии и всего Дальнего Востока.Там все намного жестче!!!Не приедет тягач,не поднимет тебя на перевал,никто не починит твой грузовик.Удачи!!!
The driver is a very experienced Dutchman who has visited Northern Norway so often that he does not even needs a roadmap or his satnav. He made a lot of video's of his trips on youtbe under the name Guusontour. I guess all the 'experts' in the comments should watch his videos before judging Guus his skills. In this case the trailer and the cargo were not damaged. And it was his only slip of the truck after driving for decades in this region!
My dad drove a logging truck in British Columbia. He always said that if he met another car/truck on a narrow road, he'd rather hit the car/truck than drive off the road - some drops were small, but others were over 1000 feet.
According to Norwegian Road Authorities (Statens Vegvesen) and norwegian police 80% of stopped trucks on border did not have winter-tires in winter 2019/2020. Only 5% has chains (as they are obliged to on certain roads). Why do we let these idiots in ? They are a danger to all other people. In the snow-season (October to April) ALL trucks must be stopped on the border. Those who do not have suitable tires must turn around or load the cargo onto suitable trucks. Combine with 5 years "no entry" for the driver and 5 years "no entry" for the vehicle. Eventually the Romanian, Bulgarian and Turkish shipping companies will learn.....(i hope)
on donner pass,I-80 in calif.if you do not have required tire chains on they turn you around,bye.check points all over the mountain-huge fines-i run back country roads utah,wy,id,even nv--they guys who don't chain i want to take a iron bar to their head
Mostly because 80% of Europe does not require.. So most of those arriving at the gates of Norway unprepared find out on their own the rules of getting in. Mandatory a full tank, all the heating systems working, winter tires, snow now chains etc. If they passed the border it means that they made the changes and fixed the missings , so no worry about that . Maybe th bigger problems is that no south European driver has any clue about how to drive on your road and weather conditions
@@geoffdavis9681 Yes one would think that, but it's not that simple; those poor drivers works for bad trucking companies located in the not so wealthy parts of Europe and their bosses don't care two shits about their drivers, so they either try their luck and go to the north with equipment unfit for Nordic winter conditions or they get fired and they can't put food on the table for their families. This is basically what the EU project is all about and we- the majority of the Norwegian people already understood that back in 1994 when we voted "NO" to join the shit show, but our scumbag traitors aka politicians still shoe horned us in by signing us into the European Economic Area and the Schengen Agreement which in practice means we are members of the EU without having a seat at the table (no seats in the EU parliament). You see how sick this is? And the out of touch establishment wonder why the people hates them...
I'm a Canadian truck driver, I don't get impressed too much by snow. But these roads are something else. Just crazy. I'm sure you are used to the short wheel base cab over trucks you all have over there, but I feel they are more likely to jack knife. And I'm sure you drive them accordingly. I'm not saying I'd be comfortable in my truck on these roads, but just more comfortable. I hope you're not paid on mileage.
Hi Tobie. You should check out Slipses youtube channel. He is a danish truckdriver specialised on northern norway. He makes some stunning videos in english. Spectacular views and scenary.
Have you ever driven European trucks? Your feeling about jack knifing.... is just that ...a feeling. The laws of physics rules and they will tell that you have turned reality upside down.... Whatever....careful driving ....and done by those who know what they are doing is absolute necessary....
@@tobiecouillard7864 Yes my friend that is how physics works..... The further back the fixation/rotation point between tractor and trailer is placed the easier it will "fold". When such happens it is the trailer that "drives" the tractor and not the opposite way, as it normal would do. The terms used in physics is called force, arm and momentum..... So yes US truck would fold easier than European with shorter wheel base....and shorter distance(arm) to the fixation/rotation point between trailer and tractor.
Problem here in Norway is the many narrow roads and the many foreign nationals who drives from continental Europe up to Norway, not understanding that the roads are different, the climate is different and they need chains etc, something that they often don't have.
Hehe . Watching this with amazement and then realizing I am also a truckdriver in Norway. I even drive on worse roads since I work in construction so we often drive on construction roads up in the mountains. No guardrail there ;-) I never saw myself as such a hero. Just doing my job LOL. Many people in the world have difficult jobs...
You have right.If you are doing a job with perfect equipment for this then the job should not be difficult just be a man and do yours job like every else on whatever job.You are hero then someone struggling same job just much worse equipment and sometimes no brains also ,thats it ))
@@kUuBiKuRuUbIk yes exactly like that. Just the other day we had a job on one of these construction sites. A dam for a powerplant on the mountain delivering concrete. Customer demanded all trucks HAD to put on chains before starting the climb up the construction road. They even had a man there to help putting them on. One driver just happily waved at this man and kept driving without chains. Second trip he's on his side in the ditch.. Pure stupidity. Insurance should just refuse to pay in this situation if you ask me...
Какие у вас дороги хорошие. В России летом грязи по яйца, зимой снегу по шею. И никаких эвакуаторов. Лопата , цепи и помощь коллег. Помощи ждать неоткуда
Россия большая и везде по разному8) говори за свой регион. В 19 году ехал из германии на Алтай. Трасса супер, ремонты все отмечены. То что было в 2003г ....три шага вперёд 👍👍👍
we in norway learn to drive in winter road. we learn to use truck good. we use normal truck with boggie. so if you lift up boggie before long way to top of the road, so you can drive to the top. but you must have good wheels. you must be relaxing. no panic. but if you only have two axle so use chain before start to the top of road. and never have bad time in winter. never. use long time if you must.
In this video you can see several non - Balcanic states trucks in trouble. I went to Skandinavia for six years, I've seen many local truckers in hard situations too.
Wow, and I thought Northern Canada was bad. We might have cold but we don't have those drop-off cliffs on the side of the road, plus our roads are WAY wider, and our trucks have the weight distributed 50/50 over the driving wheels and the trailer wheels, completely different than in Europe where the majority of the weight is over the trailer wheels and the truck's wheels just SPIN in the snow since there is almost no weight down on them.
@Men Guarding Their Own Wallets: Spot on! You're touching on a big part of the problem here. A good portion of transportation in Norway is made by drivers and companies that usually operate further south in continental Europe, or in the less hilly eastern Europe. They are used to loading their trailers to the max over the trailers axles, like you say, and at the same time they have trucks with only two axles and worn tires that are hard as hell in order to obtain a long life cycle in a warmer climate. In addition they rarely have the mandatory snow chains at their disposal. The result is not alot of weight over the driving axle, no option to lift a third axle, no good chains to put on and slippery tires - meaning no traction. In comparison Norwegian transport companies naturally have all of these things figured out and at the ready before each winter.
Euro trucks and Nordic trucks is not comparable. Euros run 5 axle rigs, and tend to load most of the weight on the trailer triple. Their trailer axels are also more in the centre of the trailer, while ours are placed all the way back. Some Norwegian companies run tandems, but the most common up here is a 3 Axel truck, the third being a tag axel. Lifting the tag gives you 20+ tons on the drive when loaded. Loaded truck should be 8 ton front, 19 ton boggi and 25 ton trailer triple.
On the contrary. The problem is that these drivers don't have any skill at all. It's always foreign drivers who are not used to these conditions, driving on completely inappropriate tires, blindly following their satnav on to narrow winding mountain roads. Then they inevitably get stuck or tumble off the road and the government has to foot the bill for recovery.
This is actually normal winter conditions in Norway.. Its just the trucks that have horrible tires, no chains to put on and no experience in driving on ice and snow.. You guys should check out the show: Ice Road Rescue Its a show made in Norway about the towing company saving idiots like these :) Its actually kinda funny, older Norwegians speaking broken English. And i have a feeling the comment section are full of google translated Russian comments, some of these don't make sense at all.
My ass is clenching and I'm sitting in my house LOL some of these roads are seriously treacherous. I've been to Norway (up around Surnadal and then Oslo back in 1980) and it was cold but the deep snows hadn't set in yet. I was a truck driver for Truck Company 8th Motor Transport BN, 2nd FSSG USMC and at times I was in snow up to my ass. But only had to go over a road similar to this twice. So yeah, makes me clench up LOL Some of those roads barely wide enough for one at times, much less passing a truck with a truck.
White Bird pass in Idaho is the only hill that scares me,before i retired use to pull doubles and like the clip with lake at bottom its a town instead and last time i went down they still had no guard rails in, and as far down as that lake,REALLY SUCKED IN THE WINTER
Hairpin turns, kind of like 'Lyseveien' (8.4% average gradient) or 'Trollstigen' (between 9 and 10% average gradient) in Norway (do a Google pictures search). The latter of the two is closed during winter though, for obvious reasons (being like you mentioned - sucky in the winter).
not many norwegian has accident in trucks in norway, its most people that havent driven in norway before that comes with summer tires in wiinter weather
If this is as bad as it gets Norwegian folks seem to handle their winter driving challenges better that here in the US. That single lane tunnel that only allows one driver at a time is cool.
Good thing Finnish trucks have saunas in their trailers where drivers can strip for some soothing warmth and wait for the roads to clear before re-driving.
Couple things is immediately clear: drivers from other countries don't understand safe place to change on chains, drive like nuts on summertires (maybe old m+s tires) and don't understand the driving between booms are illegal in winter, dangerous to oncoming colony and themself. I've drived few times big van and regular cars in northern Norway in fair summerweather, in fall severe storm and winter in long colony after the snowplow..
5 years I have missed races in the north of Norway, of which 2 winters with pusher truck !! but god keep me out of events .... in Norway the most dangerous drivers are those who come from Europe and have no idea about the Norwegian roads and go mostly in the middle ...... but now I think seriously after 5 years to find another route😂😂😂😂 because life is more important than money
Most norwegian truckers and other drivers can handle a little ice and snow, because or cars are equipped to do so. Trucks from other countries without so much snow are the problem.
Hesandm Is “on spot” still used today? I had it back in the times when driving in Norway, and never had to put on chains. It gave awesome traction on the driving wheels
as this clip started to play I was wondering what do you do if the load starts pushing the tractor in those conditions. I take my hat off to the guys running freight in those conditions
the original video was played with this th-cam.com/video/3x45pzmXeNo/w-d-xo.html It got copyright striked and later taken down, play it with this playing at the same time, it's excellent.
At least the tow truck driver was able to jump out at the last minute and save himself...the truck itself, along with the bigger truck it was pulling, were not so lucky.
@@br4xt0n1 He survived, but I wouldn't say 'just fine'...according to another comment here: 'Both lungs were punctured. He had two complicated fractures in the upper arm and a fracture in the left collar. In addition, the little finger on the left hand was crushed. He was very sick, explains Strehle to TV 2 News.' Sounds alot more painful than 'just fine'...if you ever fractured anything you know how much pain that involves.
When I was in Norway, I remember driving those mountain roads made me dizzy even in summer. I asked a lady who lived near the top of a mountain how they drove on those roads in winter. She said "very carefully."
Very smart lady. The locals can handle those situations very well, city folks and tourists not so much.

not many norwegian has accident in trucks in norway, its most people that havent driven in norway before that comes with summer tires in wiinter weather
Exactly my thought.
Most of the clips are "bad driver conditions".
Yes, I drive a semi in the mountains with heavy snow, not Norway but close enough.
If this is as bad as it gets Norwegian folks seem to handle their winter driving challenges better that here in the US. That single lane tunnel that only allows one driver at a time is cool.
No worries, it gets lots worse than what you see here.
Good thing Finnish trucks have saunas in their trailers where drivers can strip for some soothing warmth and wait for the roads to clear before re-driving.
Thats not true
@@ossialasuvanto959 All north European truck drivers keep a silicone doll in their trucks as emergency equipment.
Have they thought about hibernating until spring?
Норвегия-это жесть!Тяжелее дорог в Европе нет!
Култук херня в сравнение?
@@user-xu8ko8mp9p на култуке небыл, но судя по видео из ютуба, култук проигрывает.
Couple things is immediately clear: drivers from other countries don't understand safe place to change on chains, drive like nuts on summertires (maybe old m+s tires) and don't understand the driving between booms are illegal in winter, dangerous to oncoming colony and themself. I've drived few times big van and regular cars in northern Norway in fair summerweather, in fall severe storm and winter in long colony after the snowplow..
Roads in Norway are similar to the Heritage Highway to Tumbler Ridge British Columbia. Really deep ditches lol.
Had to Google that, and it looked beautiful. Thanks! May have to check that out if ever in the vicinity.

Fear!!!! Take care and good luck 👍
I had no idea that there were gated tunnels in Norway.
5 years I have missed races in the north of Norway, of which 2 winters with pusher truck !! but god keep me out of events .... in Norway the most dangerous drivers are those who come from Europe and have no idea about the Norwegian roads and go mostly in the middle ...... but now I think seriously after 5 years to find another route😂😂😂😂 because life is more important than money
Last time I checked Norway is in Europe. What happend??
не дай Бог.Удачки всем и берегите себя....
Winter is bad ,that's true, greetings from RO!
The one fell down in to the icywater is gone I mean I feel so bad for him 🤤🤤🤤
Speed is the deciding factor,you speed in snow, it is the end !!
I thought inertia was the killer, though speed can play a large part. On snow or ice, no sudden changes, please.
Propper wintertires is also kee
Whoa. I liked the music.
The music was amazing.
Most norwegian truckers and other drivers can handle a little ice and snow, because or cars are equipped to do so. Trucks from other countries without so much snow are the problem.

Is “on spot” still used today?
I had it back in the times when driving in Norway, and never had to put on chains. It gave awesome traction on the driving wheels
@@chukwow5738 Yes it is. But not everyone use it.
Respect grom truck's ,and they're lives!
Не лёгкая работа. Удачи вам коллеги
A lot of drivers going way to fast for the conditions
Looks like they don't learn any better than US drivers. What a gorgeous is part of the world.
Damm it theres mountins in norway and theres slipery roads and how you gona on brake on speed 80kmh when its slipery? HUH
@@Auri713Real Drive slower!
@@Auri713Real There is one piece of advice every driver should be taught - DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS
@@judil3294 most of the drivers were Eastern Europeans. They’re not prepared for this type of conditions. Often they don’t even have winter wheels.
a few cases of "stopping is not an option"
The cliff right after the tunnel were frickin GNARLEY.
as this clip started to play I was wondering what do you do if the load starts pushing the tractor in those conditions. I take my hat off to the guys running freight in those conditions

Not bad after I muted the sound.
the original video was played with this th-cam.com/video/3x45pzmXeNo/w-d-xo.html
It got copyright striked and later taken down, play it with this playing at the same time, it's excellent.
At least the tow truck driver was able to jump out at the last minute and save himself...the truck itself, along with the bigger truck it was pulling, were not so lucky.
The truck driver survived just fine
Or was it last split second he got out?
@@br4xt0n1 He survived, but I wouldn't say 'just fine'...according to another comment here: 'Both lungs were punctured. He had two complicated fractures in the upper arm and a fracture in the left collar. In addition, the little finger on the left hand was crushed. He was very sick, explains Strehle to TV 2 News.' Sounds alot more painful than 'just fine'...if you ever fractured anything you know how much pain that involves.
This job is more danger than a law enforcement job, looking down over those cliffs would rev up my anxiety and Panicky attacks.
