- Driving a truck doens't come without dangers, in this video we talk about the most deathly things of truck driving.
strap in for a gripping ride as we reveal the darker side of the trucking industry in this eye-opening compilation we'll explore the risks and challenges faced By Truckers every day prepare yourself for a journey into the most dangerous elements of trucking around the globe let's dive into the 10 deadliest trucks of the century truck one Freightliner
Cascadia starting our list is the Freightliner Cascadia a stap on many highways across the country known for its reliability and favored by many trucking companies the Cascadia however has not been without its challenges one of the more critical issues has been with its braking system in trucks having a Dependable brake system is not just a necessity it's a Lifeline let's take a moment to delve into a specific incident that underscores the importance of these safety features it was a foggy morning on Interstate 40 a busy stretch that sees thousands of trucks every day John a seasoned truck driver was behind the wheel of a 2010 Freightliner Cascadia as he descended a gentle slope Traffic Ahead slowed unexpectedly due to a sudden roadblock instinctively Jon hit the brakes but instead of a smooth response he felt a jarring shudder the brakes failed to engage fully leaving him hurdling forward with minimal control the truck skidded for several hundred ft narrow L missing a family sedan before Jack knifing and finally coming to a halt across several Lanes miraculously no one was injured but the incident left a lasting impact on all involved and highlighted a critical flaw in the cascadia's design at the time following several such incidents damler trucks North America the manufacturer of Freightliner trucks initiated a series of comprehensive upgrades focusing on the breaking systems of newer models these upgrades included enhancements to the brake calipers and the introduction of advanced ABS systems that provide better control during sudden stops Additionally the company launched training programs for drivers on handling emergency stops more effectively aiming to prevent such frightening scenarios today's Cascadia models feature these improved safety measures reflecting the lessons learned from past experiences and showing Dam's commitment to Road Safety but the story of John's near Miss remains a stark reminder of the continuous need for vigilance and Improvement in truck safety
Technologies truck two Volvo vnl series next on our list is the Volvo vnl series Volvo is often hailed as a paragon of vehicle safety which makes it all the more critical to address the times when even the safest Brands falter despite Volvo's strong safety reputation the vnl series has faced its own challenges particularly with visibility and breaking two crucial components that ensure a trucker and the public safety on the roads let us recount a harrowing incident that occurred one winter night in 2015 involving a Volvo vnl the truck was a Volvo vnl 670 model which unknown to Michael had an undiagnosed braking system flaw a latent defect waiting for the worst moment to reveal itself as Michael approached a sharp bend a compact car unexpectedly pulled out from a side road reacting swiftly Michael attempted to break but the response was fatally sluggish the brakes delayed engagement and the truck's bulk coupled with poor visibility due to the truck's design around the a pillars made it impossible to maneuver in time the truck collided with the smaller vehicle resulting in a tragic accident that claimed the lives of two passengers in the car this devastating event prompted a rigorous investigation which highlighted the vnl breaking and visibility issues as contributing factors to the accident in response Volvo took immediate steps to address these concerns the company initiated a recall to fix the braking systems in affected models and introduced new design enhancements to improve driver visibility around the truck's pillars these updates were part of a broader effort by Volvo to to enhance the overall safety features of the vnl series ensuring that such a tragedy would not occur again today the newer models of the Volvo vnl series boast improved braking systems and redesigned Cabins For Better visibility demonstrating Volvo's commitment to safety and continuous
Improvement yet the story of that fateful night remains a poignant reminder of why constant vigilance and proactive safety measures are indispensable in the trucking

I drove truck in the Army and had a CDL. Here is what the problem is. Technology. A loaded semi truck does (not) stop like a vehicle. It can't. It takes time to slow them down. Then. They put in the automatic transmission. A manual transmission forces the driver to slow down ahead of time. A automatic transmission doesn't. ABS is a false safety. To this day I can't stand ABS. Technology made people not smarter but dumber. If it's still in the driving manual for a CDL. Look up who far it takes a load semi truck to stop. Why I don't feel sorry for those who cut off any semi truck. The manuals are online. Look it up. People refuse to stay off their cellphones. Google it. The truck drivers should know it. Technology ruined trucking.
Cadence braking too.
@CarlosAlberto-ii1li I mess the old trucks. I love to see them. How I became in love with the Kenworth that led me into the Ford pickup. The long nose. The straight dash. All of the room. Wide inside cab. Why ai can't stand any other pickup even. They make me feel like I am in a box. My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee is like that. In a seat and that's it. I love the twin stacks. Looking out the mirrors and watching the coal. Truck stops used to smell so good. Until DEF came around. Now they smell like a diry bathroom. The old days were amazing.
@@scanadazeu mean miss?
Exactly your spot on, greetings,
@@scanadaze bolloks.
Most dangerous things about trucking today are lack of training by mega carriers and not using the CB radio to keep communication open between truckers to stay aware of constant changing conditions of traffic,weather,and road conditions!
ABS are a pure load of manure ! Nothing repaces a competent driver and ABS are usually F...ed up anyway .
In other words, they haven't worked the bugs out of the advanced technology that all the truck manufacturers are utilizing, i could have told you that. When the collision mitigation system on my KW slams on the brakes when it's detects a piece of paper blowing across the highway and my truck refuses to stay in it's own lane when it does this. Not only must we be prepared to counteract the ignorance of other drivers but also the flawed technology of our own vehicles.
The problem is that the people driving today are not realistic or good drivers. Automatic transmission is not a good thing for a Big truck.
It means anyone can get in seat. Not really a good thing, if you can't shift you shouldn't have a cdl
MY TOP PICK FOR AN ENGINEERING FAILURE IS THE DASH ON THE 2022 PETERBUILT COMING OUT OF THE DENTON TEXAS PLANT!
THIS NEW SERIES TRUCK HAS AN DASH DISPLAY SCREEN THAT SHOWS GUAGE FUNCTIONS ON THEM, AND THEY ARE TOTAL SHIT!!
I HAD TWO OF THEM WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BLANK THIS SCREEN OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT WARNING!
NO FUEL GUAGE OR AIR PRESSURE READINGS
VISIBLE!
I HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLAY WITH AN KNOB TO GET IT BACK!
WHEN IT DID COME BACK THE SCREEN WAS IN AN DIFFERENT MODE, YOU HAD TO LEARN HOW TO INTERPRET DIFFERENTLY!
KEEP THE COMPUTER GEEKS 100 MILES AWAY FROM THE DESIGN OFFICE, AND PUT STANDARD STANDARD ROUND, MECHANICAL PRESSURE GUAGES IN THEM!!
As a heavy truck mechanic for over 30 years I can't agree with you anymore. To many people rely on technology. The older people remember how computers would crash ( no pun intended) without any warning. You would be hard pressed to get me in a self driving car / truck. Stay safe out there driver 👍 🇨🇦 🔧
Amen!
Lpp
The biggest problem in trucking is the short between the steering wheel and the driver seat. After almost 40yrs in trucking I'm so glad my time in the 💩show is coming to an end. 🎉
If these trucks have "breaking systems", it's no wonder that "thousands" of drivers die.
The illustration of a lot of the parts they show are for automobiles not for class 8 trucks
Why are they showing auto brake systems and not air brakes for trucks lo lo lol😂😂
This modern day technology is causing more wrecks than reducing them ! Also by removing the manual transmission out of semi trucks is also increasing vehicle crashes along with distracted people who are glued to their cell phones
You nailed it. The new simi trucks are not as safe as they calmed to be. They are ones who designed the trucks they should drive them to.
This is a truck video. WHY do you keep showing 5 stud car hubs in the volvo clip?
This is why everyone wants Pre Emmissions trucks . No electronics and manual brakes
If you drive a truck with automated systems, you are less likely to be fully aware of the environment, eg driving in thick fog ( you can feel insulated from the environment) more so than in manual mode, even then it can be hard to get a grip on what's happening. Been there it's not a lot of fun. Further I have never had to drive in ice or snow total respect to those who do.
Another know all hasn't got a clue in real life ,spent 47 years heavy haulage getting bloody tired of these armchair drivers -get off your backside and get out there
I drove for a company out of Dallas for several years in the 60's. Never once did I see an accident from one of our drivers. All we had to do was make Chicago. No automatic transmissions, no computers.Just a case of Dello oil for the Detroit engines! "Hello" to the Marine" gunny" who taught us to drive.
i drive a recent cascadia with a collision avoidance system with camera system in the middle of the windshield, the truck panics very easy and jerks the steering wheel from left to right very hard and brakes hard when it decides there's a danger, apparently those are "smart" systems are as smart as the people that built and programmed them, maybe somebody should tell the engineers it's not a good idea to brake hard and steer hard from left to right on slippery roads, the cameras in the windshield has lane departure warning, problem comes when there's road construction, the "smart" system can't figure it out and jerks the steering, there is a bypass switch for the lane departure, but it comes back on automatically every 10 minutes or so, so i constantly monitor and turn off the "smart" system, since i've been driving this truck, witch has been just over a year, i lost control twice and nearly crashed, i got lucky, i'm 6'4" 350LBS, i can lift heavy loads, that steering starts to turn, nothing i can do about it, it is much stronger than me, i started driving tow trucks in '93, got my cdl in '99, i figured another 5 years and it will complete a 30 year career in the trucking industry, i'm hoping i will make it, until then, it's white knuckle driving 'till the end because i been told the technology will only get worst......thank god it's almost over!😟
Seems like you'd be happier to own an older truck without that system.
@@icosthop9998 the only thing electronic in the ‘80 cabover transtar i learnt to drive with was the cb, it had a digital channel display…..even the am/fm radio was analog 🤪
Sounds like you cant drive ive never had it jerk the wheel...seems like you didn't know how to handle it.......
Thank you 🙏 for sharing
I'm not sure what this vid is talking about altogether, it is making generalizations up the ying-yang. IE, 579 Pete is a rebadged T680, common chassis, common wiring, common fuel system, some interior cab dressup changed. IF Pete had a fuel system and wiring issue in that regard, they likely both had it We were replacing plastic fuel fttgs on all units, Pete & KW, not just T680, with MX engine, they cracked, we were doing that long before the recall was issued, don't recall seeing any fires being caused, but, it is possible, wasn't an issue in what we saw. Brake systems are designed by Meritor or Bendix, they govern what goes on with the ABS ECM and modulators and how they are programmed and wired and plumbed. They are purchased components for all the truck mfgrs.
What the video is telling you is that all the new technology that they're putting on trucks is actually worthless haven't you been paying attention that to keep making upgrades and the upgrades don't work especially in winter
All you new drivers out here are operating trucks that are actually built to be fully automated you are just test driving trucks That will replace you
The automatic breaking systems they are severely flawed they will break with nothing in front of you for a half mile and they will break hard then you have to deal with the road rage from the a****** behind you who will get in front of you and pray check you and yet when that happens the automatic breaking system doesn't work because the car is too f****** close
The traction control and automated steering assist more b******* that doesn't work either
Even worse than that or all the audible warnings it tells you that you've left the roadway even though you're still on the roadway
Or collision warning when you're exiting the interstate it stinks that you're going to drive right into the bridge pillar once again automatic heartbreaking not a good idea on IC curves on all frap
Another scenario same scenario only going into a construction zone collision warning truck automatically breaks hard next thing you know you're getting rear-ended these f****** trucks are dangerous people my age and older we don't like them
And the federal motor Carrier safety administration had rules and regulations about harassment
So going down the road having these audible alarms go off all the time for nobodies whatsoever or if you're 2 miles an hour over the speed limit it is f****** annoying and I'd rather not be annoyed while I'm working
Because history is shown that when people sometimes get overly annoyed at work they go postal
And if you don't know what going post means you should probably look it up
So in short what they're telling you the new trucks are the most dangerous things the trucking industry and manufacturers Have ever put on the road
But all you knew drivers you like these automatic trucks you don't know anything about driving and more than half of you can't even drive a manual transmission
And that's literal that's not coming from me that's coming from people who actually own the d*** trucks most of you can even drive a 13 speed or an 18 speed and almost none of you can drive twin sticks
The only reason half you f****** are out here because of truck driving school
And those were implemented to fill jobs so the politicians can say the job market has had a exceptional growth this quarter
More than half of you retards don't even need to be out here I know because I'm following you young people around and you're pulling trailers that don't even have brakes and then I gotta sit 42 f****** days because you f****** are too stupid to do your f****** job
So you young people are the reason we got all these added safety features that don't really work you young people are the reason they want automated trucks aside from greed that's another reason you orders there so things see the technology works but you don't know that that's what's taking place
So the videos telling you the most dangerous trucks ever manufactured ever put on a road and the fact that you had to ask what the video was about makes you dumb s***
A loaded semi can weigh 80,000 pounds not like a car weighing around 3 to 4,000 pounds they just won't stop on a dime and give you change that's facts
According to your thumbnail picture, yeah they could be distracting.
Is there enough metadata to determine which make and model has been the most accident-prone regardless of its popularity?
Example:
Afc = Freightliner Cascadia accidents in the USA
Sfc = Freightliner Cascadia sales in the USA
Afc/Sfc x 100 (percentage of accidents per sales)
What about comparing other factors such as automatic/automated versus manual?
Automatic transmission should have never been put in them , if you can't drive a stick you shouldn't have a cdl period!!! 2nd thing is the more tech put into rigs the less the companies pay ,no matter how much tech is in trucks its the driver that gets the shaft ,inexperienced drivers are biggest problem out here and cheap wages , remember you get what you pay for low wage inexperienced = hi insurance, cargo claims ,loss of truck and being sued by civilian inattentive drivers on cell phones
I just retired after 50+ years in transportation, first as a driver, then management. While there are some tech areas that might be at fault, 99.99% of most issues begin and end with either bad maintenance or the driver. I PERSONALLY have been in a loaded 78k ABS equipped semi where the front tire just exploded at 65 and got it stopped. I also had an ABS failure coming down 17 mile hill south of Flagstaff AZ and also got it stopped. There's a lot of stuff you can't see but also a lot you can, and if a detailed pre-trip is not done, the driver is just being stupid.
After 23 years in the industry, I know that I'm completely expendable.
Yep , I saw the same thing, CDL is a good way to let ur life pass u buy in the blink of n eye
@@blind153 no doubt, after 23 years on the road, I've only been involved in one no preventable accident and people keep doing stupider things year after year. For all of my efforts what do I get but 6500 per month before taxes to be gone three to four weeks at a time without air-conditioning in my truck just to fuck my 70 year old wife 3 times a month at best. We're literally just slaves. If you're thinking about driving a truck for a living don't.
ABS is just an "updated version" of the 121 brake system of the late 70's JUNK!!! They had us cut the power to them after a while😮
Abs breaks are a killer
Semi trucks have air brakes and it takes a longer time to stop, as a trucker you have to stay back to give you plenty of room to stop, if you don't have brakes in your truck it's because you didn't do a pre trip inspection to make sure you have working brakes
Peterbilt 389 best ride out there, older ones before the emissions junk.
The illustrations are artsey but are inaccurate in relation to your narration. SHowing the drivers on the wrong side for North America is just one example.
It would be nice if channels like this would read people's comment and answer.
This is just somebody with multiple channels, making money off #UA-cam, using an *"Ai"* voice.
Accuracy is not needed for people just making money via this matter.
i bet ABS is nothing to do with safety. you can brake even a one wheel if others fail. try to do same with ABS. it won´t let you brake. i mean small cars not trucks :D
Another clickbait thumbnail.
Idk who is making this stuff I'm a 45:year trucking veteran and still drive engineer s should learn to drive maybe they will get it right pre and was 100 percent dependable this is total bull
Euro trucks stop like small cars and drive like or better than small cars
The comment speaks about Hwy 70 and shows a picture of "Trollstigen" in Norway. Ist 95 shows a scene with left line traffic. And so on... I can't stop laughing about this. Total disinformation.
American truck drivers drive generaly to fast, absolutly no anticipation, nor concideration for anybody but themselves.
Results baaaaad😊
Shut up learn to spell......
Well most if theses Tracks are still designed like the Old 20th Century. That's why i tell guys. There's No such thing as. A New Truck 😊😅
why use post the fotos of european trucks like volvo ones ? the american vnl volvo series cant compare with the european onea . they are totaly diferent trucks !
Why didn't he just say every single new truck out there !!! Sum it up !!! Their all junk , I should know I'm a deisel mechanic!!!
Sounds like propaganda for ata your conclusions are all false and dangerous
Video file is all sh!t
Keep giving licenses out like they are kit kats , keep making automatic transmission, keep hiring the lowest end of experience drivers, and these accidents are only going to get way worse..
And that stupid d e f every semi I get I just connect all of call the safety devices I take off the def I take all of it off the truck first thing if you want to stay alive
This is all a bunch of crap, a total waste of time.
Why cant we go back to shit that works? Why cant we have trucks that you dont have to chase around the country with a laptop to keep them running basicly this whole story is saying not one of them is worth a crap but my,my,my look what you have to pay for one and what it costs to keep one going with all the electronic crap on it that half th time it doesnt work i say shit can all the new trucks and go back to something that works and you can depend on!
Horrible video, I could only tolerate 7 minutes.
Nonsense video,
It's too late to cry about it now after the truck manufacturers is already screwed up just about everything made a new models are junk I don't care what company it is I'm trying to make him too fast off the production line and too much electronic junk in them go back to Old School trucks to be a lot safer don't get me wrong the driver's got a lot to do with it driver's got to be trained on vigilance Los Angeles big old trucks you can't stop them on a dime and give 9% change that is totally impossible cuz I know I used to drive one taking a lot of technology out and go back to Old School the trucks will be better off better cost less to fix them all right I'm out of here
Try using punctuation you're all over the place with that garbage comment
This video is just telling people what I've been telling everyone for the longest time
All the new added safety features and technology is worthless it's actually made the equipment much more dangerous
And as far as competent drivers there aren't that many left out Here
At least twice a week WhereI work and I work for a major company who's been around longer than most of 'Em
I find trailers that have brakes disbreaks mind you that are metal on metal Where the calipers pins have been extended so far that we can even cage the brakes to move it to get it to a repair shop
And regular drum brakes I find them hanging Outside of the drum
Slack adjusters to you go to adjusting them they fall right back down they don't even touch the drum they don't bottom out anymore these are the kind of drivers that we have on the road
Congress implemented truck driving schools so that you put any balloon head that can hold a f****** steering wheel in the seat
So they get to say our quarterly job growth was exceptional this quarter
Which is b*******.. this isn't a job this is a lifestyle this is a way of life
If you want a job or a paycheck go to a factory go back to what you came from we don't need you out here
You are the reason for all of these unsafe automated safety features on the trucks That don't work Worth A s***
Not to mention there's a lot women they got out here.. get on their knees to blow you off but they won't get on their knees to earn a decent living or make sure that their equipment is safe enough to go down the road
As far as I'm concerned anybody that came out here after 2015 needs to go back to where you came from
Because you're incompetent you don't have the skills or the fortitude to do your vehicle inspection you don't belong out here and neither do these new trucks...
