    I wanted to compliment you both. I've bounced back and forth and cherry picked individual videos so far .. and not watched it like a season 1 & Season 2 series in order yet lol. What I appreciate is the teamwork you both provide the viewer. Tonya is great at being able to video things that Kevin would absolutely have zero chance to show if he was solo. Even the 'boring' stuff is interesting if you are really want to see how things work on a daily basis. Thanks to both of you for education and enjoyment! Safe Travels

    Not using a engine brake on slippery roads is because it make the drives break traction. Not that you'd slow down too fast and a trailer come around.
    It's winter time, get used to a dirty truck, especially driving in salty Minnesota.

    Atleast the roads weren’t iced up.I quit counting after 15 that’s how many cars 🚗 were in the ditch.It was kind of a challenge I’ll admit backing in my empty trailer today.Traction was a serious issue.I had to grab my bottle of anti-gel & pour some in front of each set of my drives & it actually helped my tires get traction,I’m gonna start carrying a jug of rock salt.

      It’s a good video idea. Not sure when we’ll get to it though. They will teach it at orientation. It’s not as good as Werner’s, but they are looking to upgrade soon. Let us know if you end up with specific questions if they miss teaching you something and we haven’t made a video yet. He does show some things about it in some videos.

    Great video content! 😊I am curious if you have ever had to chain up the truck to get through wintry weather? I work regional in states that put up the chain law frequently when conditions are snowy/icy like this, but my company has a policy that we shut down if we want when the weather is that bad. Good to see you delivering safely under those conditions, keep up the good work!

    As you said; " no jake brakes, no cruise control". But do you go to manual shifting on the AUTOMATED Trans. in these conditions? In AUTOMATED mode, a down shift in slippery conditions could cause a momentary loss of traction, instant cardiac arrest and a laundry bill.

    • @TheJoyofTrucking

      You can buy your own truck. Best to get a Freightliner or KW T680 because that’s their fleet and the mechanics know how to work on them so parts and labor will be cheaper. We don’t know details about possible presenters for o/o trucks not bought from them.
