    To bad Ur not able be an Instructor for all new truckers. And a lot of 4 wheelers also. U make it look easy. I live in Arkansas. We recently had snow and Ice. I have a 4wd truck. I'm disabled but learned how drive 55 years ago from my dad a trucker. U remind me of things he would say while driving in snow and ice. Ur top shelf. My dad always would say. Forget the brakes in snow and ice. He taught momentum and curves and hills.. Great job of explaining. I went to town several times during recent snow for all my neighbors. We live in hills. They just couldn't figure out how an old woman could drive in that. Ha. Said to them : my dad taught 5 boys and 1 girl how drive trucks, cars, tractors, and how back up trailor.

I want to say to all people that make such videos that being able to see the rear view mirrors on the front of your trucks adds to the fun of watching. It just adds more to the video. Not meant to be a critique , just saying. And your voice...so soothing...it makes what most people would think driving in the snow is dangerous seem like just another day at the job.

      Nice to know I'm not the only one. Having a certain yellow-orange company driver nearly take the front end off of a brand new K.W. that I was delivering into Oregon really curbed my enthusiasm for icy mountain road driving. My guess is that there was less than 12" between the back of his trailer and that shiny new chrome front bumper when he jumped in front of me. It's not me that makes me nervous, it's everyone else out there.

    Dang good driving Mike! Not to slow that it becomes dangerous, just enough speed to be able to pull out of a situation. Keep up the good driving skills, Did it for 30 years. never got tired of learning. you are absolutely right about the speed of your rig making a big difference on handling. Even descending down hill takes proper speed to be safe, steady and no braking! yes it sucks having to be surrounded by morons on snowy roads. people have no clue on how to use snow pack to their advantage on snow covered roads. Be safe!
