I have a quick Trick for situations like this. I never get stuck anymore. I bought 6 links of Chain at Home Depot Cut to fit threw the Rims and around the Tire and use a heavy duty Quick connect from Home Depot also. You can buy them right next to the Chain section. All I usually need is 2 of these chains put on the drive axle and I’m rollin. It’s very quick to run them threw the rim and use the quick connect and your done. I would not go down the road with them though because they are not DOT certified. But when your stuck at a customer or a truck stop or rest area they will save your ass. Once you get rolling stop in a good spot and take them off. I have 6 pieces but never need that many.
Hey thank you to all you trucker’s who brave these conditions to get your shipment through may God keep you all safe and make sure everyone gets home! Quick question what are dolly brakes? Thanks again Jay 🦅Empire State.
Jay Wheeler I agree the truck drivers are what keeps this Country turning!!! It takes soldiers and truck drivers to keep us living the way we live we couldn’t make it without either one!! So salute to all the truck drivers out there stay safe and be careful!!!!
The dolly brakes is simply a little lever on either the dash or the steering column (depends on truck) that you pull down to only apply brakes to the trailer brakes. The only times I use them is when I’m locking in my tandems (trailer axles) after sliding them forward or backwards.
I got stuck in the snow once cost me about $500 to get me out .... I sometimes deliver utility poles so I have to be able to get everywhere.......after that I carry snow chains on me everywhere I go I chain double the drives and I put two singles on the trailer if it gets bad enough...
As a non-truck driver, I'm pretty surprised that a major truck stop like that didn't put forth more of an effort at snow removal. My family used to be a fast food franchisee, and if we had multiple people stuck in our lots for hours due to heavy snow, I'd have been on the phone to our plow contractor non-stop.
This is like the blizzard of 78 when we were stuck at Toledo 5 for a week with hundreds f other trucks. And one lot lizard. LOL..she made lots of money . Good luck. Stay put.
As for the broker, "loose there number " I've been an o/o for 19 years, many have came, and many have gone, I would call him when it's delivered and say, you must have needed the money more than me, see yah 😀
To the new drivers out there...NEVER set your trailer brakes in these types of conditions. They will likely freeze on you and getting them freed up is a major pain in the ass. That's possibly what happened to the guy across from the videographer. It's also possible the brakes on your drive wheels will freeze, but it is much easier to get them free.
You’re absolutely right. Something to add too, and keep in mind, if you shut the truck off, many trucks have a VERY minor bleeding of the air, just not so much so it’s noticeable when running or even off for a short period, but in the cold that air will bleed off faster and even if you don’t physically set the trailer brakes, once that air gets low enough, they’ll set em anyway. One of the benefits to idling if you can. Otherwise you might wake up after using only your bunk heater for warmth, to find frozen trailer brakes that you didn’t even intentionally set.
Once your brakes cool down you can set them without having to worry about them freezing up. If they have any moisture in the drums and you set them right off you will be under your trailer with a hammer beating them loose.
I was originally going to stay at that rest stop Sunday night then head to my pickup Monday morning. Im glad i didn't. I stopped at the pa welcome center instead. Im also glad the first big purchase i made as a driver was to buy my own set of tire chains. You'd be amazed how many carriers operate in the northeast and dont have snow chains because they think that its not Colorado so why do we need them. In dec i put on brand new snow tires on my drives and steers because I already know, winter hits the northeast hard in jan and feb so i have to be ready to drive in some shitty weather. And Monday morning i crawled out of my parking spot with 2 ft of snow, got to my pickup 8 mins away , got loaded, and headed to mass. Its amazing what good tires will do for you.
@@anonymoustrucker1782 no. I had chains on board which ment i was legally allowed to be on the roads. But i also have brand new tires just for the snow. When i got off the interstate i locked in my divider and went 15 miles an hour to the shipper. After i got loaded the roads where a little better, but took my time on the interstate and once i crossed into ny the roads where much better. For some reason ny does a hell of a job plowing thier roads.
@@anonymoustrucker1782 well they are recaps, the mechanics invoice calls them bdr-w. Basically they're an open wall tread design that is suited to remove debris ( like snow). My mechanic is also a towing company and they run these tires on their trucks. For a comparison, they look very simulare to the michialine mdx tires. They are by no means the traditional otr tires with the closed wall design that is ment for long haul pavement only design.
@@stephenklemchuk2492 oh you talking about open shoulder tires, I have those as well. I thought you meant there was a specific type of brand of snow tires.
Been there and done that. I always kept plenty of food in the truck in case of some thing like this. Looks like you will be sitting for a while. Thank You for the video and my our Lord Jesus Christ keep you safe.
Kaori I've been there it sucks absolutely nothing you can do except hangout. I got stuck at rip Griffiths in Albuquerque New Mexico for 3days. The interstate at Santa Rosa was shut down. It sucked but was kinda cool too. All of us driver's went into the restaurant and had a big party swaping stories it was like the old days. I've been at that T/A in Erie. lots of lake effect snow. Life of a truck driver I'm glad you put all of your videos showing people what we have to deal with. Well stay safe and get home to your wife and children safely.
I was stuck in Denver Co. twice it shut down the whole metro for days each time 8 ft. of snow... I was a long haul truck driver for over 36 years putting chains would have not helped and have always chained up when needed I probably put on chains at least 2000 times...
I hope that trave center had a tractor or wrecker to pull you guys out after they plowed. Makes me wonder why they hadn't plowed while you were filming. Good luck.
How about outing the broker? That's the only way we can fight back against this kind of situation. It happens ALL the time. We drivers get screwed all the time. Been driving 30+ years.

HI, khori, I hope that you get sorted out soon. It would be nice if you were able to get home. Your broker needs to pull his finger out of his butt and sort you out. You are better off not moving your truck. Take care my friend and keep us posted, I can't wait to see the next video. I hope that you have plenty of diesel in your tanks.

Only thing scarier than being snowed in, is being on the highways with many distracted & bad drivers in that same snow!! You are definitely in a safe spot. Hopefully they'l get y'all cleared out & moving again, REALLY SOON!! A weekend nor'easter is coming to parts of the east coast, northeast & new england FOR THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND!!

If those TT's had chains, I betcha many of the parked TT's could get out. But chains are mostly required for the mountain passes out west like Donner Pass on I-80 in CA and I-70 in CO.
Not the customers fault you got stuck in a snow storm. Here is an Idea! Carry tire chains! It would be a win win situation if you packed iron! So quit your whining!
Actually it was. His wrong information was why I got stuck in the first place. Had he supplied the correct info, I wouldn’t have even bid on the load to begin with. I’d have deadheaded the 550 miles home just to avoid it. But, hey, shit happens.
I love this video!! I wish it was at least 3 to 5 hours long!! Thanks for this much though!! I’m a new subscriber gonna go c what else you guys have…thanks again!!!
Hahaha wrecker went right through! I worked Monday moved 14 different trailers around... you just have to know how. BTW fresh snow is better than snow where others have gone through and packed it down. Also the 150 you mention is more about 550!
I believe it in those conditions as far as the hook fee. I was just speaking from experience from when my previous truck had to be towed. It ain’t cheap, that’s for sure lol. I talked to a few who had to be towed that day and honestly that wrecker company was taking it easy on everyone. 250 cash or 300 credit.
Was at this truck stop in Lincoln, IL when it started to snow. Parked for the night around 10 pm (Sat). Load must be in Milwaukee the next AM (Mon). 10 hrs later, there was 8 inches on the ground. Contacted my dispatch & told them I told them I'm not going anywhere since I can't see where the road. Parking lot haven't been plowed. Dispatch said I must go since interstate wasn't closed. Told them I'll leave later that night. Left at 11pm. Made the dropoff time by few hours. Still had to wait for drop off time. Glad I retired.
Damn that sucks…. Never been through it like that. I’ve been in snow but not to the point where I was stuck and couldn’t truck….. good video keep it coming
I would definitely work my way out of there. Trick is never spin the tires. Move forward then back and keep packing down the snow. Eventually you will pack it down far enough to build up momentum to break through the snow. Always keep a bag of salt in the truck. Throw it around the wheels and wait 30 minutes. Drive out no problem.
stop crying about it. get out put your chains on and go . they aint just there to look at!!! these young guys . in my day chains and go out west in the moutains.
YOU NEVER SET YOUR TRAILER BRAKES IN STORMY COLD WEATHER WHEN YOU PARK UNLESS YOU ARE POINTED DOWN HILL TO MUCH FOR YOUR TRUCK TO HOLD IT YOU CAN GENTTLY POP YOUR DRIVES LOOSE IF THEY FREEZE ON YOU

My company implemented bad weather pay. I was stuck in Sydney Nebraska due to 80 being closed. I shutdown on a Sunday. They closes the interstate at midnight with a snow storm. I didn't continue until Tuesday. My company paid me 9 hours on Monday at $15.00 per hour. Because i was stuck
Awe lots is snow. Cdns be like let's drive in minus 30 to the capital and pressure the govt on mandates and demand freedom for all.. Snow, what snow.. Lol I'm teasing, snows a big deal...
in BC Canada Most highways require you to carry chains from October 1st to April 30th. CVSE will check for them if they pull you over and if you spin out and don't have them they get a little testy. I drove a plow truck for about five years and I have lost count of the number of times I have given truck drivers lessons on how to put on chains. My favourite was the guy trying to jack up his rear axle to get them on. The time I did on the highway with super B's and logging I learned how nice full lockers are. You have the right idea though sit back relax and wait till it's cleared up. great video.
Our western states have similar chain rules during similar times. In Colorado, anything west of Denver kinda starts that line. And I appreciate the comment!
JUST KNOWING THIS MASSIVE STORM WAS IN ITS WAY, ALL TRUCKERS STUCK ON HIGHWAYS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF STAYING OFF ALL ROADS AND GETTING THEIR LOADS THERE LATE A FEW DAYS INSTEAD OF WEEKS!!!
When this would happen to me I would move truck back and forth every few hours , staying forward sometimes and back other times.This assured me I could get out when the time was right.
Used to ride with my pops and help him drive miss going on trips with him i mainly road with him when he went to the bigs citys do to scumbags that are to lazy to get out and get jobs but i had alot of good times miss it its been over 20 years sense last road woth him would love to do it again
When the storm comes off lake Erie, it's no joke seriously, I was stuck in the middle lane on I-90 at exit 56 in Buffalo, New York for a day and a half, with 4" of snow
On snow or ice, pour a jug of windshield washer over your drives and wait a minute. Then try. It'll get you going for long enough to build some momentum. It gets me out a a couple jams every year up north.
Shut it down drivers be safe. No sense of pushing through with it getting dark on ya. Stay warm in the bunk get rest watch TV, and thank God ur safe

I’m sorry but you would never catch me driving in the snow! The hell with these loads and these truck companies.
Yes. I stay on top of the weather forecast this time of year. I simply won't go into areas expecting snow or ice, not worth the headache.
Correct!!
I also wouldn't be crying and whining online about it.
Don't take loads in the North if you can't deal with the weather.

Another of them are like this.nothing new
Pretty hard to do snow removal when the parking lot is full of vehicles. Besides, where are you going to go in a snowstorm.
It’s TA. They’re the lowest form of chain truck stops. The boys at Love’s would be out there clearing the way and helping out.

On snow or ice, pour a jug of windshield washer over your drives and wait a minute. Then try. It'll get you going for long enough to build some momentum. It gets me out a a couple jams every year up north.
Yes warm dry and a big cup of coffee,,,
