How many years have you been driving professionally OTR FSC you seem to criticize everybody else's driving you make some good points, but I imagine you f..k up at times.
World's Largest Quik Trip was a quick trip.... quick trip through the parking lot and all of us collectively saying "Son of a bitch" with Steve when he couldn't get moving.
As a younger driver (22) going through my first winter on the road running my route through the Midwest, from southern Ontario to Minneapolis and back twice a week, I can say storms like these have been a very good learning experience “ThE BoMb CyClOnE” had me stuck in Battle Creek MI until Christmas Eve, for instance. I run a CB in my truck and it’s saved my butt on numerous occasions, as I don’t run Waze or Google Maps I’m basically relying on good old 27.185 and my own, albeit very small winter driving skill set when it comes to weather like that. I do feel like I’m in a small group of rookies who’ve got CBs though, but when I’m on that radio warning drivers of “truck jackknifed hanging out of the ditch at the 135 yardstick, grab those left lanes westbound” that old Galaxy blows up with responses. Trucking ain’t what it used to be but there’s still guys like me out here trying to keep it as close as possible.
Keep it shiny side up Steve, I hope to be able to see you strollin down the road one day in Orwell.
Nice to hear you use a CB like my dads group of truckers did ( 46-82). Why more truckers don’t use term amazes me
@@arthurbrumagem3844 Why would you? Only folks that use CBs are racists and/or super truckers.
I think it is regional for CB usage. Some areas I'm in there isn't a peep from CB and others the radio is squawking half the day. When I run through Atlanta, it's usually late and there are some good old school drivers out. I had some 4 wheelers and plastic trucks playing games, so I put the hammer down and made that Kitty Cat sing. Thankfully another driver warned me about the smokey on my backdoor before he gave me a welcome to GA party 😂
@@Mark-vu8ct Gotta love Hotlanta 😂
Sure don't miss driving in the snow..be safe out there Steve
You are always knocking someone, nobody is a supposed super trucker like you.... And you go on and on.....😂😂😂
Hello there! I'm from Brazil, as you know,we don't have anu snow, but Mud, road holes, animal crossing, heavy rains, and lack of gás stations that you can Trust to refuel and stay overnight
Excellent video Steve. Have a safe rest of your trip! Keep on truckin! 👍💯🇺🇸
Love the way you turned your lights down to make the reversing drivers task easier, big respect
In Europe all drivers do that
Anyone else think that tanker @ 26:30 sounded a bit like Boomhauer from "King of the Hill?"
Now I'm imagining a spinoff with Boomhauer the Gearjammer. 😋
Slush Road trucking, everything you will get slapped on to your truck and trailer. Safe drive out their between the 4 wheelers and 18 wheelers.
Hey, Wishing You The Best, Always Makes My Day Watching Your Stuff. God Bless
Night driving and snow makes it all very Difficult. 🔝 Video
Pulling into a truck stop with warm tires and the lot is snow packed, it does not take very long to melt into that snow pack, and get stuck! What I found was the best was to drive around as your tires cool down, scope the parking spots available, pick one, and pull up and back a few times to make yourself a track to get you going in the morning! Winter driving is just part of the deal, if you live in the Mid-West! I always packed a propane torch, and a few extra bottles, to thaw things out, after stopping! Saved my a$$ a few times, and others too if they needed it! Truck-em safe, Steve!
I just found your channel within the last couple days. I've already watched many of your videos. Love the truck, love the content, and love your personality. SUBSCRIBED
He's Amazon!......no training,..and will back working in McDonald's Soon!...Again!!
Great, enjoyable video Steve,,, At one point i thought that i was at the movie with 3-D glassed on. Wow what come great driving content. You came up to some shady traffic at times. I'm an (RET) Ol School Trucker and that ride with you and '' Orwell '' bought back some old memories of trucking back in the early 80's. I really enjoyed you getting on that CB radio and talking. I haven't seen that in years. Except about a year ago when this other driver yelled at you for driving an Cab Over but you shut him up on the CB. TWO THUMBS UP !!! Stay safe and keep putting out these great videos..
Bonecrusher out of Richmond, Virginia.. ''' Peace Brother Trucker....
THE BOMB CYCLONE OMG IM GONNA DIE
Those Amazon guys don’t have cb’s lol 😂
30:45 is where the power went out and poor orwell got stuck
I feel bad for the people that do get stuck
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS GREAT BUT I SEE IDIOTS THAT THINK THEY CAN DRIVE FASTER IN BAD WEATHER AND THAN LOSE CONTROL.
That old school Peterbilt Truck of yours is my favorite. Ever since the early 90's I always wanted to drive one and still to this day love seeing them.
Driving in the center lane is actually taught in defensive driving … drive in the center so if something happens in front of you. You have two avenues to avoid … lane to the right or a lane to the left …
I really enjoy your channel Steve. You always seem to have some wisdom to share. Glad you finally found a parking spot for the night . One question> How much fuel does your apu use during the night? Just curious>
I love Cabovers, what a great truck‼️👍🏽
Steve the Kennedy Expressway Chicago. 90/94 major construction next 3 years or longer
C'mon now driver, as many years you've been trucking you should know all the hidey holes to camp out. Shipper/receiver lots come in handy...loading/delivering or not. Industrial parks, etc. Truck stop parking sucked 30 years ago.
Man that’s sketch weather.
Kudos to all the truckers that do what they do to keep us fed,clothed, and have our useless Knick knacks lol.
Cheers
Orwell getting passed by JB HUNT.!!!
Ole JB rolling that railway freight !!!
That was a bad storm last week. Glad I was inside watching it all come down. Drivers out there, take care.
it astounds me at how badly people drive in the bad weather such as this. it shouldn't, but it does. and you have to realize that every year, new drivers are on the road that haven't dealt with it before. And people forget, or they're tired, or they can't deal with it. So each and every time it's a major risk being next to them, it never goes away.
Some companies use those fuel mileage tires where a third of the tire is a slick. But if you got road spray, those moppets are more of a hazard then being safe driving like that.
I started with Schneider over 30 yrs ago and it seemed they used trailer tires as drives.
How many trucks out there do you think have CB's in the trucks these days? Can't be many that do it cause they all have phones.
Damn few !!!!
Yep after about 4:30 you pay he’ll getting a spot in a rest stop. Wish they would triple the size of them😮
Your a awesome driver and I like your trucking your awesome at both
You should know by now but it's after dark your So L
Always gd time pulling a double drop in the snow mt clean the road for me 👌
I LIKE KWIK TRIP ALSO THEY ARE USUALLY ALWAYS CLEANER, GOOD FOOD, AND BETTER PARKING LOTS, AND THEIR EMPLOYEES USUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY DOING.
And they generally have good prices
Great video FSC. Good footage from wet roads to greasy roads to out right getting slippery. Yup running empty in that stuff is no fun but if ya keep your foot out of it which you did you can go for miles like that. It does get stressful at times. It’s knowing when to hold’em and knowing when to fold them. When to walk away and when to run. It’s nice to see you stayed out there for as long as you did. Seat time in all weather is a drivers best friend. It’s like I told the president of Day & Ross in Canada, I never learned anything in the pickle park. You still can learn a lot in very bad weather doing 45 MPH. Anywho FSC loved the video, have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.
Glad you got park safe Steve from your camera views looks like truck were crowded you on the roadway Be safe pal
Orwell dosent like slush or salty roads he's better than that loves warmer weather
I would think that Orwell would be warmer as the cab is over the engine rather than behind it. But I am certain your apu keeps you warm as you sleep!
What’s up with these new drivers they don’t believe in CB radio’s anymore Steve
if it a three lane before the storm it still a three lane during most belive the "plowed lane is the only lane ive almost ran people out of it when it when into my lane and they try'd to bully me into the slushy shoulder. and i dont thin cb are used much more with the new drivers tryed to warn a trruck one night his trailer light were going in and out but nor reponse on cb or by flash my light i know im a only a 1 ton pick u but most new drivers or or big comapny have blinders on and cb off till a rest stop or the destnation
Hey Steve
Those drivers wouldn’t know channel 19 from any TV channel
They live by there GPS and cell phone
Probably couldn’t understand their broken English if they can speak English at all
Keep on truckin brother!
Yes you are right not park on right side of road
New 19 year old drivers with four ways on 😂😂
IT’s actually law in most states. Stay cool man!
@@Jeremyfedor If under minimum speed it’s law, I was referring to dot letting 19 year old kids behind the wheels of semi trucks and trying to make a joke about them being scared with flashers on. May happen very soon I hear first in state driving only .
I see northerners do that here in Florida in rain. Bad part is they'll take all three lanes side by side by side going 40 mph in a 65mph zone. Worst part is it won't even be that heavy of a down pour.
Thought you had to be over 21 to do OTR...
@@tylerdunn6578 19-24 year olds are fearless....most don't know any better. Hit reset and the game starts over ! (not)
Keep all that snow. I mowed my lawn today. I did have to wear long pants as it is cold for Florida.
How's gators, snakes, rats, iguanas, skeeters ?
Drive according to the road
Sure is a sloppy time of year. It can sure warm up anytime. I'm a hundred miles straight west of the cities. We got a good blow outta this storm.
For the life of me I have no idea why this video was that long but I guess it’s lonely on the road
That one green Coronado with the strobes on in the rest stop looked like Tim Gentry's Coronado. 20:50
As long as they don't Caterpillar down the road use them as a forward linebacker to find the greasy spots for you watch him And clear Run him his tracks for traction
Im a trucker N I respect Wether n if you going through the middle line is better right line is for local traffic coming in and out.
gotta remember there a lot of young drivers that don't have a lot experience driving trucks, so be careful
I may be crazy, but I sure miss that winter driving
Your not crazy Wesley, your a driver, just like me, I miss it also
Maybe he didn't have a choice to pull over in left hand shoulder u ever think of that
Steve always enjoy watching your video be safe out there
I always like looking at the snow & salt accumulation on my truck, battle scars😂
Waze is useful for lane conditions. It was spot-on as I came through Cleveland and up through Erie early this morning. When the color turns orange, that represents at least one lane is available and not snow-covered. When that orange turns to read, that represents complete snow cover on the road surfaces.
I'm always surprised just how accurate it is.
Accidents and road conditions.. A must have while trucking. The amount of tickets it has saved me from as well as the slowdowns which are coming right ahead..... I can't recommend it enough if you are a trucker.
When I was driving, that was one of my biggest peeves. Drivers running there 4 way flashers while driving in the middle lane or hammer lane. And you had no idea what they were doing or if they were going to change lanes right in front of you.
I agree 100%, they should not be used at any speed above crawling.
@@bostedtap8399 I used mine only as you said and to warn those behind me that traffic ahead was coming to a sudden slow down or stop in areas you normally would not be slowing down or stopping. As a veteran driver, "old", I also always used mine when backing my trailer, whether at the truck stop or customer. Very seldom do I see this done today, but hey, it's the new breed of drivers today.
@@dougnorton5143 Hi Doug, again well said.
Best regards John
Question how fast should you go using your four ways?
@@thanors2 Well in just my opinion, if you are driving 15 or more miles per hour under the posted speed limit would be a good estimate. But I tried to never use mine unless something hazardous was happening in front of me or I was in heavy fog. Driving in white out conditions would be another good example. But I used to watch trucks and 4 wheelers zipping along in a downpour in the left lane with the flashers on so I would say that is a stupid time to be using them. And while I'm already there, parking on the shoulder with nothing but park lights on has gotten more people killed all because the driver thought this is a good place to park for whatever reason. I personally have witnessed more than one vehicle try to drive under a semi trailer in the dark or pouring down rain because the driver zoned out and thought the truck was on the road and was moving along at road speed. 4 ways always on when parked on a shoulder or exit ramp. When I did need to stop, while on the road I at least always tried to make that stop on the entrance ramp. That way, if a vehicle did hit me, their travel speed should be a lot less than their exit speed off the interstate. But that's just the way I rolled. You may think differently and I'm not going to debate anyone here on procedure. Cheers!
Fire up that Green APU and snooze away the storm.
When I was 5 years old my family was on 285 in Atlanta and spun off the road down into a ditch my dad had to flag the cops down to get help this was 70s no cellphone service 😂great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
I sure Know what I don't miss about hauling BLATZ from Milwaukee !!
I may have seen you out today. Not sure but it was in Indiana on 65..near laffeyette
An Amazon trailer, what a surprise. You know they ain't got a radio.
95% of them fall into steerholder category ,that was one of them
If they do they cant understand Engish !!
Nothing like a white knuckle drive
I just now noticed the middle wiper..been watchin for i dont know how long! 🤣
Hey Steve, can you make a live transmition driving?
Hhaa, Sending it👍🏽
Even the big old sedans versus a semi is a no brainer
I grew up in Vermont. I now live in Phoenix, AZ. I don't miss driving in that stuff AT ALL!!
It's been a long time since I was up that way, is the 76 truck stop still there in oak creek?
76s are long gone
Steve, dumb question, can you drive at highway speed with both drive axles engaged? Or is that bad?
Most manufacturers don't recommend going over 35 mph with the second axle locked in.
Ok. Thanks.
New drivers will never have a CB
that parking is crazy............like seattle .....no parking at all.!
That southern draw on cb sounded like king of the hill.. pick a lane lol ✌️
Great videos, be careful and safe on the road 👍 love your cabover awesome,
Good evnin brother hope you have a great safe blessed week 🙏
iam glad iam setting in the house watching your video lol
Glad u found some parking Steve to get off the highway be safe bruh
Good job Steve, and be safe out there.
STEVE,HELLO,slow going,rather stops,then you won’t get stuck,BTW,the truckers,whom drive those ROAD TRAINS,get their driving hours tougher than,USA,BUT THEY ARE BOOKS,NO ELECTRONIC,,FLAT ROADS,UP TO 6 TRAILERS,BUT 3 WHEN ITS LIQUID,7 -8 DAY TRIPS , SPECIAL BUILT KENWORTH, RHD ,1600,GALLONS , stay well, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video Steve hope all is well buddy? Ya your not kidding about them 4 wheelers making ya nervous they scare me to death in any KINDA bad weather bud.
Only if ya not wearing your mask 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Wish I could do a little trucking myself be safe love them cabovers
If you were loaded you'd roll on out
I knew when I saw you stopped what to expect🙄
Bro just drive your truck and keep your thoughts to yourself you’ll sound more professional just because they can go faster than you
Kinda curious if you ever have to clean the snow off the trailor at night by the rear truck tires so it dont freeze up over night when you have to load the next morning.
That's the worst part of driving ing bad weather now is having to watch everyone else because people don't know how to drive in it.
I like driving in bad weather when the roads are empty. I absolutely hate driving in bad weather and getting stuck behind scared morons.
@11:48 in the video. I can't stand that either. I'll have the cruise set at 70 riding the slow lane. I'll catch up to someone going 60-65 and change lanes to pass and they either speed up faster than im going or to my speed. If its faster and they pull a few car links up I'll move back to the slow lane. The shitty part they'll slow back down after i get behind them. Normally I'll give em the finger as I'm passing at 80 put some distance on them then go back to my 70 mph cruise.
Great video Steve thanks for sharing your trip into the snow storm. Atleast you were able find a parking spot. Looking forward to your next video safe travels Steve.
I’ve never had good luck with Goodyear tires, side walls are soft in my opinion. Love me some Toyo tires though, reasonably priced and good in al weather.
I spent many years being a man in the tow truck feeling like a Target

Kwik trip at richfield just north of Milwaukee on 41
Stop trucking and start up a carrier in singing. I must admit you had me laughing. Keep safe out there buddy, idiots, there everywhere, there everywhere
Happy I don't have to get out in that crap if I don't want to. Those guys blocking the center lanes with their four ways on should have their license pulled.
This is through my area. I live just north of the scale house on the Wisconsin side and work at a truck stop on Highway 41 in Gurnee on the Illinois side. I still have yet to go to that Kwik Trip though.
GLAD YOU FOUND A STOP IN THAT WEATHER. MADE ME COLD JUST WATCHING. BRRRR!
Lol
