As a retired professional driver in all my thirty five years of driving one thing to keep in mind if you do not keep your distance between vehicles when driving regardless of weather conditions you will always be in trouble. Patience is a must not speeding is a must common sense when it comes to weather conditions is a must.
Slow and steady gets er done. Thing is, you can be the safest driver but some asshat always comes along and screws it up with speeding in bad conditions.
I saw a Swift driver one time trying to back into a truck stop parking spot for the night. After making several attempts but failed, the driver got out, threw his hands in the air in frustration. I went over and asked if I could help him. So I backed the thing in on the first try. The Swift driver just lowered his head and asked how much he owed me. I just said nothing seeing how you were just bob tailing.
Typical I-40 action. I was driving from Seligman to Flagstaff in four wheel drive going about 35mph and was passed by a guy doing at least 60. We found him upside down in the median about two miles further east...
Yep. I drove the Interstates in Northern and central NY in many snowstorms. It’s always the idiots w/bad tires that won’t slow down. I know,,half the time it was my wife!!
@@hekterr6677 And, more than once, I have calmly replied, "Well, that's not going to happen." Legally, dispatch may not compel a driver to drive in unsafe conditions. The driver is there, and knows the conditions. Dispatch can scream all they want, but they cannot make you move. And, the company may not fire you, dock your pay, or otherwise discipline or retaliate against you. The law is written, and plenty of case law exists, firmly setting a precedent in the driver's favor. Multiple drivers have sued former employers over this, and won large sums of money. Quoting the legal code, and citing the relevant cases, tends to shut them up. I was fortunate, though; my main dispatcher had years of driving experience. So, as long as he was on duty, all I had to do was send a Qualcomm message, "Snow falling, road greasy, shutting down. Will keep you posted". His response was always, "10 4. Stay safe". He was a great dispatcher. I understand that he runs the department, now, which is a good thing.
My dad used to say in the late 70s "that's not too swift" and he would also quote the Mama's and the Papa's " a time to every purpose under heaven" and then I'd say "you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" ❄️😊❄️
We notice that they drive that way even here in Kansas. :( I have had Truck drivers tailgate me on our interstate, there is also more of them getting over the lines like they are texting or something.
My husband is also a truck driver and i am so glad we live in Texas, the climate is bipolar lol but I would hate for him to drive in this scary snow. Stay safe y’all! ☀️
I was a professional driver for 30 years. The two most important words for driving in these conditions is SLOW DOWN!!!! And if you think you are going slow enough, SLOW DOWN some more!! That's rule #2. Rule #1 is, the most important part of being a professional driver is, KNOWING WHEN NOT TO. I live on the I 40 Airz corridor. Near Ash Fork. Seen a lot of this. Regardless of reasons, it can be a very scary route at times.
@@danor6812 Eh, it's why I said I didn't know....but the start of the video shows a truck going by him too fast for the conditions and he says 'it will be in the ditch soon' and the next cut is a truck in the ditch, looks like he was trying to say 'haha, see'. But it wasn't the same truck. That was my point.
True, but what difference does it make when you really think about it? After all, who would have thought driving in icy snow as if it was sunny and 80 degrees would result in landing in a ditch? Just ask Mr. Darwin the driver. When will truck drivers figure out that they have no power over inertia?
Maybe you people should learn to drive a car first and then get in a truck and ride for 2 weeks and see what a truck driver deals with on a daily basis
I prefer to drive the snowy roads in the northeast than in the southwest of the country because of this. Truck drives DO need to work together by slowing down. The one in the ditch though was not the same one that passed the car. Anyone in any vehicle is not going anywhere after sliding into a ditch no matter what the weather is about. It is better to get there "safely" at a later time than not at all is what all drivers should be caring about first in such conditions. Also, anyone who does not have to be on the road should not be there. Not working together causes these problems.
I don't drive for Swift. If you look at the 10 video's they recently released on you tube. Of all the trucks in the ditches, and medians. You see 1 Swift truck. 1, and you have to rag on Swift. Of course Swift will have more noticeable accidents. Same with Prime, Schneider, JB Hunt and all the other giant trucking companies. These companies have over 20,000 trucks on the road every day. Not like some little 500 truck company. Every trucking company out there is having accidents. But since you can't see Swift on the side, you ignore them. You're an idiot.
@@danor6812 It's a nationwide contest of dumbass drivers from thousands of trucking companies. So many unemployed people thinking driving a truck would be an easy job. most companies are copy cats of others.
Swift is the starting job point for those wanting to get a job as a trucker. Few established companies will hire novice drivers, Swift is one of the few that will. Swift is notorious for novice idiot drivers.
I have lived in Colorado all my life when a 4wd flys bye you on the hwy just a matter of time before you see them in the ditch I don't think they know how to use the 4wd brakes....
@@LuisDiaz-hc5sj And, many States require that you carry them, certain times of the year. I never used mine, though. I just parked. Screw riding through that greasy chit.
That first truck dont count, that's a swift truck they always in the ditch train or shine. They should just put a lane in there and designate it for swift only and that would eliminate half their wrecks. Then all they need is an airport for them to park in so they dont hit nobody in the teuckstops.🤣
I spent years running I-40. It's less than 100 miles of snowpacked roads usually. Slow down but keep your momentum so you don't get stuck and you'll be through it quick. If you don't have experience park. Don't let anyone push you. If they fire you for stopping you can get a job. But of you wrreck your screwed. Looking back, why did I do that for so many years?!
Rowland Loewen Guess you don’t know me. Been doing it 15 years. That being said, keep your comments to yourself and your mouth shut and nobody will know you’re stupid.
I just park. Keep up with weather conditions, know what's sneaking up behind you, and know what you're about to drive into. When you know you'll be coming into some nastiness, pull off about 50 miles (or more) before you get to it, so that you can find parking. I've done a lot of winter parking, all over the country. But, aside from hitting the occasional wild animal, I've never had an accident.
The northern half of AZ gets lots of snow. Southern AZ has mountain ranges with elevations 10,000 ‘ plus. Mount Lemon is a 30 mile curvy mountain road just north of the city with ski resort. Just google Flagstaff AZ and check out average snow fall.
Flagstaff is 6900 feet in elevation. So snow is a regular occurence in the winter time. It is not phoenix. It is over 2 hours North of phoenix, in the mountains.
Half of Arizona gets just as cold as Michigan. They only tell you guys about the desert. 1/3 of the state is green forest with mountains and snow in the winter.
Usually it's Swift and Warner that you'll find jackknifed in the snow they do not have a lot of winter seasons under their belt so they're much less experienced drivers they're also paid a lot less as well hope everybody ended up okay nobody is injured
Yup it gets lots of snow in the Northern parts of AZ in winter. They get 4 seasons. I'm in Phoenix where is hailed and rained and is chilly. It can get down to zero at night.
Many grades on I-40 are long and steep, with plenty of downhill curves. Bad accidents happen out there in good conditions. These truckers have huge brass ones to keep rolling in heavy snow.
Good ole swift😳. Lived in the Days Inn at Williams for about 6months while working in Valle, AZ. Fun little town once you get to know a few locals and where to and where not to eat. The town did a amazing recovery from being bypassed by the interstate.
And here in the Dallas/Ft Worth area we have dry conditions and temps in the 50’s, I could ride my motorcycle right now if I wanted, we very rarely ever get weather like this. Y’all stay safe out there
This is why I have bad reports on my MC via freightguard. I don't drive when the weather is bad. The brokers write me bad reviews because I protected my truck and messed their customer. I'd rather protect my equipment and deliver load safely than hurt my business and the load most likely
I laugh, in SW Colorado slide off the road it's a ticket for failure to control your Vehical. Of course in many places it 100s of feet lower into the ditch bottom. LOL
Yeah, some guys go way too fast, but some of us understand we have more traction than car because of the weight. In these conditions 30, 35 max. But this isn't for everyone. Especially Swift.
That wasn’t the same truck that passed them in the ditch just incase y’all didn’t catch that. It is always the swift trucks though I swear😂😂they are always either late, crashed, or broken down
I've seen more and more 80K rigs that don't slow down in bad weather, hogging the left lane or ridding bumpers, they have no regard for peoples lives. I've been doing the speed limit or 5 over (for cars) when some hotdog trucker comes right up one me when I am driving a 2500 pound car. Come on!!
Heading West one time i hit all types weather as descended down from Flagstaff back into the desert Rain then Freezing Rain....Snow.....White Out.....Hail.....Freezing Rain......Rain.....Wind..... The smell of the Pines Soaking in the Water made it worth it. Almost hit a Bull Elk going Eastbound same area.....we made eye contact and im pretty sure it was a Legendary Bull cause his antlers were taller than my trailer.
Been through Williams AZ. Great town. Stayed at the B&B and Great Diner for breakfast on our way to LA. Cross county road trip from Virginia to see our daughter. That's the only way to see the USA. We did it in a Pt Cruiser
Good job calling out dangerous truck drivers in this weather. I just drove this stretch of highway in high winds and light snow and had multiple semis pass me while I was going speed limit of 65. Insanity!!
I love it how you said he's going to be in the ditch soon, at the beginning of the video But you don't know whether he's already had them tires heat it up while he was driving on regular roads with no snow.I would have been driving in the same way. Had I been driving in dry conditions then ran into snow.
Think I will take my chances dodging tornados like we in Alabama did last night. Ef2-3 with one fatality and 30 injured, took almost the exact same course one took in 2012. Y'all have fun, I am, reminds me of "Russian Driving Fails"
People who grow up in these conditions will have these situations. However, it seems to be more common in the South West where we experience 8-10 months of unbearable heat.
Yes, 11 months later.... you've never been up north in the winter. Went to ASU '89 to '94 and lived in Chandler from '03 to '09. LOVED going north in the winter months to have "fun" in the snow. Loved going down the forest service roads to the middle of nowhere to set a tent and enjoy snow and a fire....
What's with all the SWIFT bashing? What about the 85 year old + female drivers taking over the roads now days? I drive I-40 between Kingman and Holbrook regularly and the SCARRIEST thing for me is to pass one of these old "Busy bodies" swerving all over while busy texting on their phones? There should be an age limit to driving a big rig!

Here in Minnesota we would call weather like that Wednesday. There would still be a Swift truck in the ditch though.
Funny as hell!

🤣 when is there Not a thumbnail of bad weather or a pile up with a swift truck in the ditch. Its like Is a goal.
A friend of mine got down the hill west of Williams and heard that 40 got closed. I'm glad to not be doing that anymore. Retired 2011.

Think I will take my chances dodging tornados like we in Alabama did last night. Ef2-3 with one fatality and 30 injured, took almost the exact same course one took in 2012.
Y'all have fun, I am, reminds me of "Russian Driving Fails"
I don't miss this at all.
People who grow up in these conditions will have these situations. However, it seems to be more common in the South West where we experience 8-10 months of unbearable heat.
Another swift driver 👊🤠🤙 🐓
That snow storm was ridiculous! I live in Williams.
You have a charming picture , i will love to know more about you and get to know each other as new friends, I hope you don't mind?
I cant believe ,this is my state...I've lived here 28 years and have never seen this much snow.
Yes, 11 months later.... you've never been up north in the winter. Went to ASU '89 to '94 and lived in Chandler from '03 to '09. LOVED going north in the winter months to have "fun" in the snow. Loved going down the forest service roads to the middle of nowhere to set a tent and enjoy snow and a fire....
That swift truck was right next to my place of work.
Hope everybody safe
Anything in that box or trailer is worth getting hurt or killed. PERIOD
Wow...only AZ people think you should stay in during a storm --- most of Colorado weather is stormy!!
he is not so swift anymore huh??
Goes to show you driving too fast and Snow Road cover conditions Especially the truckers
Swift stands for sure wish I finished training thats what a swift is
Be careful out there. Looks nasty.
What's with all the SWIFT bashing? What about the 85 year old + female drivers taking over the roads now days? I drive I-40 between Kingman and Holbrook regularly and the SCARRIEST thing for me is to pass one of these old "Busy bodies" swerving all over while busy texting on their phones? There should be an age limit to driving a big rig!
sexist much?
That guy was driving fast but it takes a SWIFT to fuck shit up
What a shock! Swift strikes again.
