Days of warning .. yet STUPID people had to go and try their braindead LUCK .... serves them right for getting stuck ... Shed no tears ... this is HILARIOUS comedy ....
It may have hit hard and fast, but there was plenty of warning of it coming. I'm in Maine and I knew about it. Incredible job Jeremy! Strong younger men (and women) keep this country rolling.
I’m from this area, not Maine, stay in your lane. Got the msg about a storm coming. We live there TO get hit by storms. That’s why the snowboarding is so good. As for your appreciation to those keeping it up and running. It’s men, not even necessarily young men, but after 47 years in the area I can promise you it’s not women keeping things going. Not at all.
I am a strong and stubborn woman, but I know I would not have been able to do what Jeremy has been doing, not for 30 hours. I might have lasted maybe 30 minutes, then I would have been yet another person who needed to be rescued. Yes, I'm strong, stubborn but an honest woman. Thank you Jeremy and everyone who is working so hard to help the people in this storm. You are heroes!
I drove a tow truck in Truckee during the 70's. we were on CHP rotation call 24-7. i got a call to get a stalled car out of the way on top of Donner pass with people inside. and CHP had closed the road at the inspection station at the bottom of the mountain. i was pushing snow over the hood of my truck. and it was still snowing. the car was completely buried, only the antenna was visible. the people were excited to see me, thought they would have to spend the night there. got them back to town, they invited me to supper, we ate, they paid their tow bill, and i went home. normal day in Truckee.
Hats off to you, Jeremy. Especially in times of extreme emergencies, remember to take take care of yourself. With fatigue comes decreased mental acuity and increased chance of injury. Locating the landing gear, when buried under feet of snow, first try. 👏👏👏 I commend the dedication to your craft and your hard work under extreme conditions. Stay safe. Thank you, sir. Teamsters 💪
He isn't doing it because he is a nice guy. He probably is a nice guy but the tow truck business makes most of its income in these conditions and late at night. Not like a routine sunny afternoon AAA road side assistance call. Check out the unique capabilities of his tow truck specifically tailored to these road conditions. It needs to stay fixed in place while pulling out the stuck truck. Given the weight of the stuck truck and the surrounding snow it takes a powerful force to do that.

You can tell the professional drivers, they the ones smart enough to leave enough space between parking trucks to enable snow removal equipment space to work.
the professional truck drivers are smart enough to wait for the storm to pass before climbing Donner Summit. These guys are not. Are they trying to recreate the Donner party of 1846?
Notice the majority are door swingers and yelling a non English language....ill bet that a majority have more than one pair of sandals in their cab too
"Hey, the customer needs you to deliver this Reno load in the morning by 6am, the chain light is not on, so hurry and you'll make it!" "Okay no problem, I'll call you when I get there!"
I did logistics in Reno. I always told my drivers just to wait and management that it would be late. When management would complain I'd just answer " Ever heard of the Donner Party?"
I used to own a snow plow company in Canada and I appreciate the long, arduous hours the first responders, trainmen, tow truck drivers, and snow plow operators put in to keep the railways and roads open. I'd average 2 hours of sleep every 24 hours for 4 or 5 days until the roads were clear.
Yep....and I'll add to that. I was the Ops Manager of a company that had 30 units in the fleet of all descriptions and sizes. A "full call-out" meant phone calls went out at 4am for everybody to come in...for a start around 5:30am (big storm, lots of work)...a work "day" meant 12 to 14 hours before everybody was "back in the barn"....in 96 or 97 we had a stretch of TWENTY ONE days IN A ROW of "full call-outs" !!! After about ten days the crew got a little "punchy"....had to handle them with kid gloves....then after about 15 days they all started thinking this was hilarious and making jokes about it....that got me real worried. I went to the owner of the company and told him we had a very real problem here....mental health!!!
Jeremy, I think the man behind the curtain told the work force don't stop. This is an example over how much control the power brokers have over us. Those drivers knew about this impending weather, but were told to drive on.
Wow, amazing footage, I am fascinated by the massive tow trucks, plows, snow cat tractor that blows snow in the air -and the trains. Who knew there was so much excitement in Truckee. Appreciate that you let the events speak for themselves, no background music or narration.
If the driver was traveling west from Nevada, the driver would have witnessed hundreds of tractor trailers along the side of hwy 80 at the CA/NV state line waiting it out. Where was dispatch for the trucking company? Once pulled out he has to drive down the steep hill from Donner to Colfax, more snow. What a mess. They deserve the hefty fees.
All of this footage is Eastbound near the Soda Springs exit. Soda Springs typically get the most snow. Also where Sugarbowl ski resort is located. A locals favorite.
@@chilloften HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! There was nowhere to park, so they decided the best idea was to go over Donner Summit instead? HAHAHAHAHAHA That is the stupidest excuse I've heard thus far.
I live in the area, and it never surprises me even with all the warnings people take the risk and travel up here. The weather up here can be ferocious and a blizzard like this is nothing to get caught in. Splendid video, and thanks for posting and sharing.
I know right. ..if only there was a device that you could carry with you that you could press a button or two and tells you what the weather will be where you're traveling. Someone should get to work on that. 😂
@@spikespa5208 The GPS systems in their trucks can be set to whatever language they want it set to. But maybe, just maybe.... we should require truck drivers to possess enough proficient English that they can understand a weather warning. Think about it, these folks had to take a written driving test and an on the road driving test to get their PROFESSIONAL driver's licenses..... why do we allow this to be done in anything other than English? Even still, their smart boxes in their trucks tell them the weather in whatever language they need it to be in.... they simply chose to ignore it. Import 3rd worlders.... turn into the 3rd world. Simple as.
How would they have their CDL and who’s ignorant enough to hire someone illegal? Don’t say it’s fake documents….you gotta be real dumb if the person doesn’t even speak English. Right?!
Did my time in the Upper Peninsula and I was 6 months old..today 11 years later I'm at Dixie..growing my hair and working on my tan...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC Tractor Trailer Driver
I know for a fact that some of these truckers barely speak English. I used to work for a distributor where we had common carriers that came in and barely spoke. This is scary that you have these kind of drivers driving these big rigs on our highways. It makes you wonder how they got their license if they can barely speak English let alone read signs. The roads at the bottom of the mountain need to be blocked during the storm.
@@wadly99 I don't know all I know is I've been seeing it for many many years. Besides trucking companies are giving bonuses just to hire an even including training them.
This is all just three hours from my house truly epic snowfall two years in a row. That thumbnail to the left is me standing on a rock at the Heavenly Valley ski resort, Lake Tahoe. Thank you for sharing this amazing compilation of weather in my backyard Well done.
Thank you Bob! Glad you enjoyed it. I have a lot of videos from last year’s incredible snow pack as well. It was truly amazing being able to experience it. Truckee and the entire area is an amazing place.
They don’t go to DMV. They are Osama Ben laden enterprises. They have the own school. They all pass in 2 to 3 weeks and they are ruedy to go on our roads in no time. No English no papers. No nothing
I live in Northeast Iowa. We've had 24" of snow this winter, but have been well aware of it coming. Even here in fly over country, we've seen the forecasts for this even as much as a week ago. And then there is the history of Donner and surrounding ecosystem. There is so much news cycle today, how did all these people miss what I heard and was never going to be effected by? During an interview with one of the tow responders, he mentioned what sounded like a language issue. sounds more like a potential safety issue. If these drivers, cars and trunks, aren't aware or don't understand the safety warnings about a normal winter event (they've happened many times in my lifetime), then what other lack of communication skills might cause additional safety concerns, putting others at risk?
Wow, the amount of snow in such a short time is mind boggling. Love the recoveries and different techniques in this video. It used to be that long haul truckers were some of the best drivers you would ever see. With what I see on the road these days I am not so sure of that anymore. Still some great drivers out there but a lot more without a clue if the conditions turn bad.
You are doing a great job Jeremy. Not an easy job shovelling snow like that, hope your heart ♥️ is healthy as this is not good for the heart 💜 but you have a great generous heart ♥️ for sure. God bless you Jeremy Abrams.
That's the new generation of steering wheel holders . They run around in sandals in the winter and most of those trucks you see buried in snow are driven by foreign drivers who barely speak english and drive like total idiots .
These are the truckers that will replace the Maga truckers that don't want to work for political reasons or drop loads out of protest. Mexican's doing the work Real Americans don't want to do.
Go to a calif DMV and watch the area where people take their written test. You will shake your head in disbelief. 2 folks will help one guy pass the test. The drivers booklets are written in 4 different languages. God help you if you get Into an accident with a non native English speaker. But that's not as bad as the many unlicensed and uninsured drivers in calif. If you get in am accident with one of those folks you end up paying and the other guy has no ticket no liability no penalty.
Its really terrifying that so many truckdrivers didnt speak or understand english. How did they manage to understand road signs or find their destination?!
It sums it up jeremy the tow truck driver said it best " most of these guys don't speak English and never seen snow" man the trucking industry sure went downhill
Speaking English is no prerequisite to driving a truck. Stop talking like a rtrd. Ppl will learn how handle thing. Trucking does not require a PhD. Pretty soon trucks will be autonomous with no drivers.
@@lucmarchand617we had the same thing when I was in N Dakota.....guys would show up from Texas (in the middle of winter)and not have boots or heavy coats.....and actually be surprised it was so cold .....really ?.
When we were out driving our truck, we always listened to the weather reports and would avoid Donner Pass 🥶 We would take the southern route and avoid the mountains 😂
@@carollariviere5904 EVERYONE got notifications before this storm. Unless people are emergency personnel, every story about "surviving" this snowstorm on the internet should be met with people being publicly berated, in every way possible ostracized for being so stupid as to ignore the repetitive warnings we were given. They endangered not only their own lives, but everyone else who's job it is to save them when they are too stupid to save themselves. Nobody that got stuck in that storm is a hero. Not a single one of them. We need to publicly call out just how stupid they are.
@@revjaybird2Exactly, they were reporting about the impending storm for almost a week ahead of time. I saw some interviews with guys who said they had no idea conditions would be this bad. What??? Do they live in a cave? Always, always check the weather before traveling in the Sierra in the winter.
An important part of being a trucker is paying attention to weather and I don't like singling out people but those drivers speaking a foreign language have no ideal what they're doing.
and as u can see on the viedo most couldnt speak english,and probley coulnt read.when i got my cdl back in 89 .u had to speak and read english to get your license
In Calif. if you know the right person at DMV you don't even have to know how to drive a semi. A 16 year old crashed a truck in L.A. At 3.25 why didn't he clear the first truck and make a lane for the rest of them.
@user-vd1uz3dj8l Money is the reason. Until you have a guaranteed paying customer, money in hand, and permission ... you do not engage in recovery. If he's contracted by the state, it's a different story. Then, it would make sense to start with the first, uncover, and free each truck in line.
God Bless you all for helping these people to get out of the trucks, and the trucks who get saved to go on to their families, I love you and pray you have a safe journey home Blessings from Jesus amen. Theresa. this is an amazing crazy storm. I live in Maine. our storm is coming in March.
Welp, once upon a time your recent ancestors came to this country, probably illegally, as all the other non-native people did, bringing with them the skills already learned in their own countries, and overcame the language barrier. Plus, it’s tough to find Americans that want to do this type of work.
You know what? Any drivers ignorant enough to attempt traveling knowing damned well it is impossible should be left stranded. Do selfish things and you shouldn't get the luxury of assistance. There's not a single reason to travel during these WELL forecasted events. Plan to be where you need to be prior and/or simply wait...Stop creating the problems for everyone else who has to put themselves in danger for your ignorant choices. (not speaking of the videographers)
I hope that all of theses shellfish ignorant truckers get a citation and steep fines for what they have done. I bet they don’t even know why Donner summit has the name it was given
Beautiful shots - very artistic and serene despite the circumstances. Love your work sir! Also, thanks for not talking over the video and droning on with selfies like the others!
THIS IS ONE BIG REASON WHY I MOVED TO FLORIDA. I KNOW FLORIDA HAS ITS OWN NEGATIVE ISSUES, BUT THANK GOD THIS ISN’T ONE OF THEM!!! I’M OUT WALKING ON A SUNNY 80. DEGREE BLUE SKY DAY AND I’M LOVIN IT❤❤❤
The stupidity never ends. Advance warning and they continued really the trucking industry needs a major overhaul. Enough of the non speaking ENGLISH AND REFUGEE STATIS
Maybe there aren’t enough IS citizens willing to work so hard under crummy conditions ie: farm labor, cleaning hotels, construction and now trucking…. How many people say”Gee I can’t wait til my young child is old enough to fill their/our dreams by back breaking thankless hard labor to hardly earn a living!” Sorry they don’t have the total preparation and training to get where they are now. They may be “literary over their heads (especially in snow)” in a job they are underprepared for. Maybe they are getting a ton of pressure from their shipping companies?
@patroberts5449 there are plenty of ways to get info on storms if your smart enough. Not as if there wasn't any notice ahead of time. I've trucked for 47 years and have been smart about it. No out of services not log book fines no wrecks. Anybody knows that you travel the 11 western states to be very mindful of conditions. If you don't it could cost you your life. As far as the wrecker drivers they put their life on the line every day. And we still have stupid drivers and mega fleets. Everyone says says there is a driver shortage bs . Let's face facts its a driver retention. Period. And poorly trained drivers. The ata the government and the mega fleets have brought this on and have put the general population at danger. They keep saying it's speed no its many other combinations. 25 years ago the were alot of big fast trucks . And look now we have more stupid drivers that have NO CLUE. NO COURTESY AND ARE NOT BUT PIGS OR ENTITLED......STAY SAFE BE AWARE.
@@patroberts5449 Maybe we should be talking about giving these people $20 an hour min wage instead of only fast-food workers. Or maybe, just maybe.... how about we go back to teaching kids that having a job, any job, is better than being an unemployed loser.
The tow truck driver said most of the stuck truck drivers don't even speak english, yet liberals will balk at the suggestion that it would be better if people in America spoke the same language
GREAT JOBS MEN❤❤❤!!!!SNOW RESCUE GUYS SHOULD BE GIVEN A MEDAL!!!!!❤❤❤❤ ABLE TO HELP ALL THOSE TRUCKERS !!!❤ PRAYING ALL OF YOU ARE SAFE AND OUT OF SNOW SOON!!!❤❤.. THANKS GUYS FOR A GREAT VIDEO!!!!FROM TEXAS..(NO SNOW !!) Thank GOD!!!❤❤❤❤
Jermey said many of these truck drivers don't speak English and are not from here and haven't seen snow before! Are these truck drivers from the pool of the illegal immigrants Brandon has allowed to come in through the southern border?
Great video. I can't imagine being stuck on the side of the road like that in a blizzard and can't do anything about really. Keep up the good and Keep Johnathan out of trouble. lol
Truckers have an advantage with their exhaust stacks. I used to be a volunteer (search and rescue) in the rockies. There were a few times people couldn't continue and left their vehicle running to stay warm. The snow built up, and the exhaust would slowly encapsulate the vehicle. They became recoveries instead of rescues.
Back East blizzards got nothing on California. 10 to 15 feet of snow . I live in Arrowbear CA and we had 10 feet last year and the mountains were locked down for 10 days. California isn’t all beaches and palm trees. Just watch the local weather reports, weather apps and social media

Watching from Orlando… and wishing a swift return to clear roads. Warms the heart to see so many people helping each other
If the driver was traveling west from Nevada, the driver would have witnessed hundreds of tractor trailers along the side of hwy 80 at the CA/NV state line waiting it out. Where was dispatch for the trucking company? Once pulled out he has to drive down the steep hill from Donner to Colfax, more snow. What a mess. They deserve the hefty fees.
All of this footage is Eastbound near the Soda Springs exit. Soda Springs typically get the most snow. Also where Sugarbowl ski resort is located. A locals favorite.
Dispatch doesn’t care, they always say to keep moving.
Dispatchers don't care about the truck drivers as long as they're loads get hauled
There is no where to park.
@@chilloften HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! There was nowhere to park, so they decided the best idea was to go over Donner Summit instead? HAHAHAHAHAHA That is the stupidest excuse I've heard thus far.
I live in the area, and it never surprises me even with all the warnings people take the risk and travel up here. The weather up here can be ferocious and a blizzard like this is nothing to get caught in. Splendid video, and thanks for posting and sharing.
If only those folks knew the storm was coming! LOL
I know right. ..if only there was a device that you could carry with you that you could press a button or two and tells you what the weather will be where you're traveling. Someone should get to work on that. 😂
And have the weather and road condition reports broadcast in Arabic, Farsi and Hindi.
@@spikespa5208 The GPS systems in their trucks can be set to whatever language they want it set to. But maybe, just maybe.... we should require truck drivers to possess enough proficient English that they can understand a weather warning.
Think about it, these folks had to take a written driving test and an on the road driving test to get their PROFESSIONAL driver's licenses..... why do we allow this to be done in anything other than English?
Even still, their smart boxes in their trucks tell them the weather in whatever language they need it to be in.... they simply chose to ignore it.
Import 3rd worlders.... turn into the 3rd world. Simple as.
There is a device for that its called.........COMMONSENSEANDPLANAHEAD.... but now i realise not all truckers has that device😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
How would they have their CDL and who’s ignorant enough to hire someone illegal? Don’t say it’s fake documents….you gotta be real dumb if the person doesn’t even speak English. Right?!
Did my time in the Upper Peninsula and I was 6 months old..today 11 years later I'm at Dixie..growing my hair and working on my tan...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC Tractor Trailer Driver
Jeremy Abrams is a workhorse, wow what a guy
Stallion !
I love your weather coverage.....you all really go after it !!!!!! Thanks !
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy.
What drivers don’t realize is how long Donner pass is. It’s 20-30 miles long at the summit. Cal DOT should have closed it hours before.
Thank You Jeremy ! So very very much . . . !
I know for a fact that some of these truckers barely speak English. I used to work for a distributor where we had common carriers that came in and barely spoke. This is scary that you have these kind of drivers driving these big rigs on our highways. It makes you wonder how they got their license if they can barely speak English let alone read signs. The roads at the bottom of the mountain need to be blocked during the storm.
Fraud.."DYI"
If they are illegal, why don't we have laws against hiring them, laws to incriminate the employers? Seriously.
@@SJ-vo1bw "We" _do_ ..they(the laws) are simply not enforced or if so, only selectively, in order to favor certain parties.
Is this because of a driver shortage or low wages or both?
@@wadly99 I don't know all I know is I've been seeing it for many many years. Besides trucking companies are giving bonuses just to hire an even including training them.
This is all just three hours from my house truly epic snowfall two years in a row. That thumbnail to the left is me standing on a rock at the Heavenly Valley ski resort, Lake Tahoe. Thank you for sharing this amazing compilation of weather in my backyard Well done.
Thank you Bob! Glad you enjoyed it. I have a lot of videos from last year’s incredible snow pack as well. It was truly amazing being able to experience it. Truckee and the entire area is an amazing place.
A new interesting channel to follow, thank you for creating this content.
Welcome! Glad you like.
bearly speeak english , never see snow before nice job DMV
They don’t go to DMV. They are Osama Ben laden enterprises. They have the own school. They all pass in 2 to 3 weeks and they are ruedy to go on our roads in no time. No English no papers. No nothing
Geez Louise. Thanks for posting this. Its so darn scary. Big thanks to the rescuers. These amazing machines are awesome.
I live in Northeast Iowa. We've had 24" of snow this winter, but have been well aware of it coming. Even here in fly over country, we've seen the forecasts for this even as much as a week ago. And then there is the history of Donner and surrounding ecosystem.
There is so much news cycle today, how did all these people miss what I heard and was never going to be effected by? During an interview with one of the tow responders, he mentioned what sounded like a language issue. sounds more like a potential safety issue. If these drivers, cars and trunks, aren't aware or don't understand the safety warnings about a normal winter event (they've happened many times in my lifetime), then what other lack of communication skills might cause additional safety concerns, putting others at risk?
They are just stupid,lack sense and will be the same idiots who get stuck in next storm
Wow, the amount of snow in such a short time is mind boggling. Love the recoveries and different techniques in this video. It used to be that long haul truckers were some of the best drivers you would ever see. With what I see on the road these days I am not so sure of that anymore. Still some great drivers out there but a lot more without a clue if the conditions turn bad.
Dude didn't want to answer the question about how much money he's gonna make. Enough to get through the rest of the year probably.
Nobody’s business how much he makes
You are doing a great job Jeremy. Not an easy job shovelling snow like that, hope your heart ♥️ is healthy as this is not good for the heart 💜 but you have a great generous heart ♥️ for sure. God bless you Jeremy Abrams.
Truckers do not come out to dig? Wait for someone to do that? If they do not speak English, how did they do their licence and road training?
That's the new generation of steering wheel holders . They run around in sandals in the winter and most of those trucks you see buried in snow are driven by foreign drivers who barely speak english and drive like total idiots .
These are the truckers that will replace the Maga truckers that don't want to work for political reasons or drop loads out of protest.
Mexican's doing the work Real Americans don't want to do.
That's not true. You don't need to speak English to drive a truck. 😅
Same reason so many semi pile ups every winter now, hardly any of these drivers run CB's anymore no communication between drivers.
Go to a calif DMV and watch the area where people take their written test. You will shake your head in disbelief. 2 folks will help one guy pass the test. The drivers booklets are written in 4 different languages. God help you if you get Into an accident with a non native English speaker. But that's not as bad as the many unlicensed and uninsured drivers in calif. If you get in am accident with one of those folks you end up paying and the other guy has no ticket no liability no penalty.
Its really terrifying that so many truckdrivers didnt speak or understand english. How did they manage to understand road signs or find their destination?!
All illegals
Google Maps....follow the arrows
How did they pass the licensing? Did their office help fill in the test for them? That should be investigated!
You are required by law to be literate in English to receive a CDL. That's Federal law not state.
Great job, trucking companies!
It sums it up jeremy the tow truck driver said it best " most of these guys don't speak English and never seen snow" man the trucking industry sure went downhill
Yes,told true same canada.i work pipeline western canada we have people show up from texas they never saw -45 below zero yup😊
Speaking English is no prerequisite to driving a truck. Stop talking like a rtrd. Ppl will learn how handle thing. Trucking does not require a PhD. Pretty soon trucks will be autonomous with no drivers.
Because you need to speak English to drive a truck?
@@TheRightONe-et3ghyes
@@lucmarchand617we had the same thing when I was in N Dakota.....guys would show up from Texas (in the middle of winter)and not have boots or heavy coats.....and actually be surprised it was so cold .....really ?.
When we were out driving our truck, we always listened to the weather reports and would avoid Donner Pass 🥶 We would take the southern route and avoid the mountains 😂
Yeah but you spoke/understood English! Interesting California Highway Patrol wasn't checking their green cards and making arrests. Surprise!
Exactly. The road would have been closed..and chain control on. I got notifications long before the storm
@@carollariviere5904 EVERYONE got notifications before this storm. Unless people are emergency personnel, every story about "surviving" this snowstorm on the internet should be met with people being publicly berated, in every way possible ostracized for being so stupid as to ignore the repetitive warnings we were given.
They endangered not only their own lives, but everyone else who's job it is to save them when they are too stupid to save themselves.
Nobody that got stuck in that storm is a hero. Not a single one of them. We need to publicly call out just how stupid they are.
@@revjaybird2Exactly, they were reporting about the impending storm for almost a week ahead of time. I saw some interviews with guys who said they had no idea conditions would be this bad. What??? Do they live in a cave? Always, always check the weather before traveling in the Sierra in the winter.
This snow storm is better than the Boycott... ❤❤❤
God Bless the Truckers, stay safe.
❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤
An important part of being a trucker is paying attention to weather and I don't like singling out people but those drivers speaking a foreign language have no ideal what they're doing.
Come on, just bc they dont speak english well doesn't mean They dont know how to drive
@@LindaBabby Being a trucker is not ALL about driving, PLANNING is equally important and that was my point.
Linda, youre unaware. This is truth!! They are dangerous
Drove between slc and northern cal every week for 10 years. Never once did I get stuck on that hill or use chains. Ca 99 to CA 58 to I15.
and as u can see on the viedo most couldnt speak english,and probley coulnt read.when i got my cdl back in 89 .u had to speak and read english to get your license
"probley coulnt read"....irony
Says the person that has no idea how to type a proper sentence....
In Calif. if you know the right person at DMV you don't even have to know how to drive a semi. A 16 year old crashed a truck in L.A. At 3.25 why didn't he clear the first truck and make a lane for the rest of them.
@user-vd1uz3dj8l Money is the reason. Until you have a guaranteed paying customer, money in hand, and permission ... you do not engage in recovery.
If he's contracted by the state, it's a different story. Then, it would make sense to start with the first, uncover, and free each truck in line.
@rickorr2181 It's called youtube re-spelling whatever you type, haven't you noticed?
Thank you. 👍👍👍
"Most of these guys don't speak English or have never seen snow." What has become of our industry?
God Bless you all for helping these people to get out of the trucks, and the trucks who get saved to go on to their families, I love you and pray you have a safe journey home Blessings from Jesus amen. Theresa. this is an amazing crazy storm. I live in Maine. our storm is coming in March.
How in the heck do you get a license to pull 80,000 pounds without speaking ENGLISH?
What a stupid comment!
Scary thought for the rest of us motering public.
Illegals aren't subject to your stinking laws.
Welp, once upon a time your recent ancestors came to this country, probably illegally, as all the other non-native people did, bringing with them the skills already learned in their own countries, and overcame the language barrier. Plus, it’s tough to find Americans that want to do this type of work.
Keep Up the great work JEREMY 👍👍 Many thanks
You know what? Any drivers ignorant enough to attempt traveling knowing damned well it is impossible should be left stranded. Do selfish things and you shouldn't get the luxury of assistance. There's not a single reason to travel during these WELL forecasted events. Plan to be where you need to be prior and/or simply wait...Stop creating the problems for everyone else who has to put themselves in danger for your ignorant choices. (not speaking of the videographers)
They’re not getting help they’re paying for help and it won’t be cheap
I hope that all of theses shellfish ignorant truckers get a citation and steep fines for what they have done. I bet they don’t even know why Donner summit has the name it was given
Trust me that had to cost 💰💰
We don't know
Beautiful shots - very artistic and serene despite the circumstances. Love your work sir! Also, thanks for not talking over the video and droning on with selfies like the others!
Glad you like it. I typically let the scenes do the talking and stay on my side of the camera. :)
Interesting how half of these commercial professional drivers don’t speak English but still are able to get a federal drivers license
Yeah, one has to wonder exactly how that is happening.
Very good video! Beautiful area of the country, but I'm glad I live in Cleveland!
problem, The don't speak English, Can They Read English road, warning signs?
yes they are stupid 🤣
Apparently not. Or they just leave everything up to Allah to handle.
THIS IS ONE BIG REASON WHY I MOVED TO FLORIDA. I KNOW FLORIDA HAS ITS OWN NEGATIVE ISSUES, BUT THANK GOD THIS ISN’T ONE OF THEM!!! I’M OUT WALKING ON A SUNNY 80. DEGREE BLUE SKY DAY AND I’M LOVIN IT❤❤❤
What is more terrifying than the snow, is truck drivers in America who can't speak English!
Outstanding documentary clips!
The stupidity never ends. Advance warning and they continued really the trucking industry needs a major overhaul. Enough of the non speaking ENGLISH AND REFUGEE STATIS
Maybe there aren’t enough IS citizens willing to work so hard under crummy conditions ie: farm labor, cleaning hotels, construction and now trucking…. How many people say”Gee I can’t wait til my young child is old enough to fill their/our dreams by back breaking thankless hard labor to hardly earn a living!” Sorry they don’t have the total preparation and training to get where they are now. They may be “literary over their heads (especially in snow)” in a job they are underprepared for. Maybe they are getting a ton of pressure from their shipping companies?
@patroberts5449 there are plenty of ways to get info on storms if your smart enough. Not as if there wasn't any notice ahead of time. I've trucked for 47 years and have been smart about it. No out of services not log book fines no wrecks. Anybody knows that you travel the 11 western states to be very mindful of conditions. If you don't it could cost you your life. As far as the wrecker drivers they put their life on the line every day. And we still have stupid drivers and mega fleets. Everyone says says there is a driver shortage bs . Let's face facts its a driver retention. Period. And poorly trained drivers. The ata the government and the mega fleets have brought this on and have put the general population at danger. They keep saying it's speed no its many other combinations. 25 years ago the were alot of big fast trucks . And look now we have more stupid drivers that have NO CLUE. NO COURTESY AND ARE NOT BUT PIGS OR ENTITLED......STAY SAFE BE AWARE.
@@patroberts5449 Maybe we should be talking about giving these people $20 an hour min wage instead of only fast-food workers. Or maybe, just maybe.... how about we go back to teaching kids that having a job, any job, is better than being an unemployed loser.
AMAZING TO WATCH THE TOW TRUCK PULL THE TRUCKS OUT OF THE SNOW.
The tow truck driver said most of the stuck truck drivers don't even speak english, yet liberals will balk at the suggestion that it would be better if people in America spoke the same language
Well done video which encapsulates this event; Thank you very much, I’ve subscribed.
Prime example of why you shouldn’t give people that can’t speak English drivers licenses. They are a danger to us all.
If they drive our roads they should speak English
GREAT JOBS MEN❤❤❤!!!!SNOW RESCUE GUYS SHOULD BE GIVEN A MEDAL!!!!!❤❤❤❤ ABLE TO HELP ALL THOSE TRUCKERS !!!❤ PRAYING ALL OF YOU ARE SAFE AND OUT OF SNOW SOON!!!❤❤.. THANKS GUYS FOR A GREAT VIDEO!!!!FROM TEXAS..(NO SNOW !!) Thank GOD!!!❤❤❤❤
Jermey said many of these truck drivers don't speak English and are not from here and haven't seen snow before! Are these truck drivers from the pool of the illegal immigrants Brandon has allowed to come in through the southern border?
They have been coming longer than that. The problem is letting non English speaking types run semis down the highway
There's been non English speaking drivers coming across the northern border for at least 18 years that I know of. It's been an issue a LONG time.
@@crazygrandmaweaz8942 absolutely
@@crazygrandmaweaz8942 It's waaaaaaay worse now in and around California due to our insane Gov's "go green" garbage.
Great video. I can't imagine being stuck on the side of the road like that in a blizzard and can't do anything about really. Keep up the good and Keep Johnathan out of trouble. lol
Truckers have an advantage with their exhaust stacks. I used to be a volunteer (search and rescue) in the rockies. There were a few times people couldn't continue and left their vehicle running to stay warm. The snow built up, and the exhaust would slowly encapsulate the vehicle. They became recoveries instead of rescues.
Thank you
كم هذة معاناة يومية مع الثلوج سائق الشاحنة هذا مذهل شكرا لك جيريمى ابرامز انت محترف جدارائع 1:39
Good job Jeremy, thanks for your services. 👍🏼.
Greetings from Russia!
Lol
Nice weather!
We live like that. Always.
Prayers for All The 🚛 Truckers Strong🙏🙏💪💪💪And Everyone that Got Impacted from Storm 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Back East blizzards got nothing on California. 10 to 15 feet of snow . I live in Arrowbear CA and we had 10 feet last year and the mountains were locked down for 10 days. California isn’t all beaches and palm trees. Just watch the local weather reports, weather apps and social media
Amazing. Never seen this amount of Snow. JEREMY Great Work 💯💯💯👍🇺🇸
Great coverage WXChasing.
