All Truck drivers that drive in these conditions deserve Hazzard Pay. Without u truckers risking your life's to deliver the shipments u deliver- it wouldn't get delivered. So all u have my repsect for doing what u do out there everyday... Without u all doing these- Shelves would be empty and gas stations wouldn't get gas- all supplies would come to a stop without all of u.. Thank u for what u do
My husband used to come home from a run, and he'd say "Guess how many lives I saved this time?" Then he would tell me all the STUPID stuff people in 4 wheelers would do.
You're right...I had such anxiety watching part 1. I live in wisconsin and hate driving in the snow. I'm glad you made it out of there. Safe travels 🚚🚛🚛🚛🚚
I should have been in bed hours ago, but I have been binge watching all your videos AGAIN! It's a good thing I'm retired and don't have to go to work in a couple of hours. Man! I try to learn about driving in snow conditions (grew up in the desert), but always find myself being amazed at how you handle the rig and deal with other drivers in such bad conditions. All the truckers deserve the utmost respect. I know, just like all occupations and people, there are the good and bad. Trust me, I had seen my share of both when I worked as a fuel clerk at one of our truck stops decades ago. But the majority of them are good!! God Bless and protect you Mike! Hugs to your grandkids!!
Enjoy the hell out of your video's and most of the dialogue. Ignore the trolls and dont even respond to them is the best thing to do. Most of them most likely have never even been in a truck. Least long driven one. You keep doing what your doing driver and if it goes bad. Well, it goes bad. It is what it is. You seem to have it under control. Even though theres been a few times you scared me a little. Well, Im not here to watch someone drive Mis Daisy either. Besides, the trucks that are on the road now are far FAR safer and can go in weather that older trucks struggle in. Their amazing. Anyways, Keep it clean. Keep it safe. Keep it Professional and drive on Driver.
@@jake68jcroul38 Did he wreck in this, or any of the other videos? If the answer is no; then you're the jagoff who does not know how to drive, as this is a results based profession. Your opinion is worthless, because you don't know what you're talking about, and pretending you do know what you're talking about just proves you're an idiot on top of being a prick. Stay mad, moron. If the answer was yes; then you'd have a point. However, since he did not wreck, all of the above applies to you.
As a UK based HGV Driver (Class 8 Semi's) i'm NOT going to spout my gob off at how you drive, that's entirely up to you, and what YOU feel comfortable with. I personally, agreed with everything you said and did, in both vids. I've driven North of the Artic Circle in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, mostly in the Winter, on Scandinavian Spec Snow Tyres. Didn't have to put the 'Chains on once, brilliant tyres in snow, and if it was that bad, we'ed park up. (And Yes, they we're ALL, time critical deliveries, so we had to be there on time, but it don't help if your in a ditch, or worse.... so as i say, it's what YOU feel comfortable with). Awesome Video, keep the Hammer Down, stay safe, and looking forward to the next vlog.
This Driver's company Dispatcher actually convince this doffus driver fresh out of trucking school that hes going to give him a truck with snow tires.... 😂
Thank u I've watch the 1st one and now this one. It's great to ride with u. Like I've said I miss riding with my dad. Keep driving and living strong for the good old P.hub.
I used to live in southern Utah. My husband ,son, and I used to take care oftherestareas along I15 in Iron county Utah. The weather was all too familiar tome as I watched your videos on that particularities.
We did not have google maps when I drove, we had the CB and weather radio, I applaud your capabilities and the fact you did not crowd into a truck stop, I drove for 30 years and have been where you are many times when it was snowing
It is interesting listening to you talk about where you are headed....St. George! I've been to St. George when my sister and I went to go to Bryce Canyon from her home in Vegas one spring when I went out to see her. We left St. George heading across the Mountains to Bryce Canyon but about 5 miles outside town on the mountain road we hit SNOW! drove about 2 miles in it and my sister turned around and went back to St. George. We had all weather tires but she hadn't driven in snow in a long time. Good thing she did turn around. They got 2feet of snow by the next morning. We would have been stuck over the mountain. Then she got food poisoning and we stayed 3days in St. George while she recovered. We went up on a Friday morning and came back on Monday. That was beautiful country-very Majestic Mountains. I don't envy you taking your rig over Virgin River Gorge! That is an awesome drive just steep and in snow....nope not me. I'd ride it but I don't think I would want to drive it in a snow storm
'You can take solace in the fact you were in no danger.', bust me up. Sitting on the couch here much nicer than riding in that cold truck, especially since I have to pee every half hour or so.!
Good driving buddy, smooth and precise and inside the visual stopping distance, them folks on the brakes all the time are the usual ones that cause issues.
I think that sometimes people speed up when your trying to pass them because they are really scared of your size and it is worse in this kind of weather . This came from my daughter when she was driving me one day . She is working very hard to do better and just let the truck pass .
aint it amazing what happens when a car driver lets off the gas pedal ??? its like the driver has no clue ..and has to use their brake every 10 seconds...
It is crazy taxing staring out the windshield, looking so far ahead trying to stay safe while making the smallest adjustments to the steering and brakes, etc.
I have a question? While driving in these snowy conditions..Do you always flash your headlights when your coming up on a vehicle? Letting them know what your about to overtake and pass them.Or sometimes? including all vehicles a semi-or car truck.etc.
No I don't. My headlights are on but I never flash. Every driver out there in that type of condition should be 110% concentrated on all their surroundings all the time as I am.. that means they should be using their mirrors as well as their windshield.. as I am coming up on them sometimes I can see them looking in there driver's side mirror at me.. if they are not using their mirrors they wouldn't see a flash anyway
you passed by a sign ..Cedar Breaks..national monument..that is a crater 3 miles across 2,000 ft deep ..60 millon years old..caused by ancient eruptions..millions of years ago..I ndians call it '' Circle of painted cliffs ""
Should you be going 1/3 the speed limit because of the rain and slush or is it half the speed limit because of the snow I'm not sure you are the cdl driver i still have to take my test
I heard you comment that you use your cruise control in this inclimate weather. Isn't that against all training in that if you hit ice your engine tries to speed up when you need to break?
See you picked up a Stone clipper over on the passenger side, - them put the expensive in W/S for those Units!!! Wait till yer Mechanic sees the stone Banger in your line of site!!! He be Happy! Peace and be Safe😎
great drivin job Michael , more snow in the states than we have in western Canada . You should consider driving the ice roads in the north west terrorities or in Alaska BIG $$$$$$$$
Would love to drive up there.. thought about it a few times. Asked one company that required alasaka experience if my years of mtn experience would qualify me and he said yes.. I told him he could ask me anything about driving in snow and I passed all if em..
Easy easy on the brakes and add more pressure as you roll.. let up if you start to slide then reapply.. .. go the speed that will enable a safe stop and keep looking ahead.. that's the part that sux on concentrated driving..
claudio caballero great question. Most all truck drivers are ready to ditch the truck if a case like that arises and we are unable to stop safe. Too many times i have seen accidents just around a corner and you have no clue till your line of sight breaks it and you realize you have very little time. This is also why you will see more than one truck at times in the sticks or snowbanks. Not a bad driver but one who chose the ditch over running into someone’s loved ones 👍🏼
14:22 - I'll just pause the video here a bit, and have me a grand-daddy nap (all this fixated frontal watching - as you do the driving is getting me all sleepy like) ... You just carry on M8 - as you're in the hot-seat (doing the driving). BB soon - after a half hour nap or so - on the (real) soft .. king sized bed of mine...
You're confident but those people you're coming up on at 55mph in the right hand lane don't have your confidence. Are you not concerned that they could come or slide into you as you speed by them on their left side?
I'm sorry; I know you are an experienced driver but 55 mph in those conditions is too fast. Especially with limited visibility ahead. If there were spin outs ahead, and all the lanes were blocked, you would not be able to stop in time. I'm 70 and have been driving in snow all my life with all kinds of vehicles. So far you have been lucky driving like this. For everyone else's sake and yours I hope your luck doesn't run out.
Your wiper blades cant keep up? That should be a warning to you. You may have experience driving a truck but it does not excuse risking people and saying the rules don't apply to you because you have experience. What was that bump at 14:20? You running over the Tahoe? You make me nervous just watching you but thanks for the ride.

That's what I about semi truck drivers there always believe in safety first and keeping the shadyside down and the sunnyside up and keep on rollin
I like how you call the gas pedal a throttle. Reminds me of my railroad ancestors!

Road is "just wet" only thing I'd be worried about is black ice.

It's hard to drive around others in these conditions, as a truck driver.
Yes it is.. very hard
Man that's reminds me of hitchhiking through ut. Years years ago it does get nasty out there ..keep on trucking ..
I'd ride with you anytime. Great video,thanks.
Be safe out there.
It is crazy taxing staring out the windshield, looking so far ahead trying to stay safe while making the smallest adjustments to the steering and brakes, etc.
Conditions looking some better at least we are off the mountain right ? From last video .
Do you have to put all your time in each day even if the weather is bad?

Chevy Tahoe 4x4 here and hate to see others with a Tahoe not drive well in snow I do well in snow in PA wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You would think the other truck drivers know what’s going on but obviously they don’t have a clue!
when you're in the deep snow like that, how do you see the road???
I share that tension from my kitchen/shotgun position. Traveling Mercy's MMM. TY
At least we are at 55 Mph good going .

Super Fahrt, würde gerne mitfahren, das fahren in den USA unterscheidet sich sehr vom fahren in Germany!
When you over 50mph in this condition Tand the vision is poor and you have an accident ahead, how you do to stop the truck and do not slip
Easy easy on the brakes and add more pressure as you roll.. let up if you start to slide then reapply.. .. go the speed that will enable a safe stop and keep looking ahead.. that's the part that sux on concentrated driving..

Maybe tonight.. I have a snow vid which is pre storm video of these two.
I think Rain.
Defrosters

No shit there are no brakes cause your not keeping heat in them. One more using a ding jake
Unless it's an emergency, why would anyone drive in a snow storm. Weather like this is a good reason to link cities by train.
Good video be safe
how come you get to pass everyone, is your truck got more guts
He must have proper snowtires on this truck. They make a huge difference.
@@jfv65 He does have snow tires and chains if needed.
Ever tried heated wipers?

You're confident but those people you're coming up on at 55mph in the right hand lane don't have your confidence. Are you not concerned that they could come or slide into you as you speed by them on their left side?
It looks like your visibility is decreasing.

I'm sorry; I know you are an experienced driver but 55 mph in those conditions is too fast. Especially with limited visibility ahead.

See your a driver tho 50 or 55 to fast
Jagoff if that don t brother you time to quit driving
Defr is sters.
you spin out on this because of bald tires,or lack of experiance
You are driving and it does not matter what you are driving you are supposed to concentrate on driving 100% of the time
2:05... you said you are driving 50 to 55 in those snowy roads? You should either slow down or go to the lane to your left
Another clueless driver!
