Winter driving in Sweden, Norway is every bit as nasty as driving in British Columbia and Alberta Rockies Canada. Take care out there and keep the shiny side up 🇨🇦 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🚚
So wonderful and educative video for truck drivers to be aware of during winter weather. But my personal and humble advice for truck drivers in this kind of weather:" just find yourself a safe and secure place and shut down. Nothing in the whole world is worth it loosing your truck, your load, your trailer and the most important thing yourself (if you were lucky). Yours truly.
The driver is a very experienced Dutchman who has visited Northern Norway so often that he does not even needs a roadmap or his satnav. He made a lot of video's of his trips on youtbe under the name Guusontour. I guess all the 'experts' in the comments should watch his videos before judging Guus his skills. In this case the trailer and the cargo were not damaged. And it was his only slip of the truck after driving for decades in this region!
According to Norwegian Road Authorities (Statens Vegvesen) and norwegian police 80% of stopped trucks on border did not have winter-tires in winter 2019/2020. Only 5% has chains (as they are obliged to on certain roads). Why do we let these idiots in ? They are a danger to all other people. In the snow-season (October to April) ALL trucks must be stopped on the border. Those who do not have suitable tires must turn around or load the cargo onto suitable trucks. Combine with 5 years "no entry" for the driver and 5 years "no entry" for the vehicle. Eventually the Romanian, Bulgarian and Turkish shipping companies will learn.....(i hope)
on donner pass,I-80 in calif.if you do not have required tire chains on they turn you around,bye.check points all over the mountain-huge fines-i run back country roads utah,wy,id,even nv--they guys who don't chain i want to take a iron bar to their head
Mostly because 80% of Europe does not require.. So most of those arriving at the gates of Norway unprepared find out on their own the rules of getting in. Mandatory a full tank, all the heating systems working, winter tires, snow now chains etc. If they passed the border it means that they made the changes and fixed the missings , so no worry about that . Maybe th bigger problems is that no south European driver has any clue about how to drive on your road and weather conditions
@@geoffdavis9681 Yes one would think that, but it's not that simple; those poor drivers works for bad trucking companies located in the not so wealthy parts of Europe and their bosses don't care two shits about their drivers, so they either try their luck and go to the north with equipment unfit for Nordic winter conditions or they get fired and they can't put food on the table for their families. This is basically what the EU project is all about and we- the majority of the Norwegian people already understood that back in 1994 when we voted "NO" to join the shit show, but our scumbag traitors aka politicians still shoe horned us in by signing us into the European Economic Area and the Schengen Agreement which in practice means we are members of the EU without having a seat at the table (no seats in the EU parliament). You see how sick this is? And the out of touch establishment wonder why the people hates them...

I'm a Canadian truck driver, I don't get impressed too much by snow. But these roads are something else. Just crazy. I'm sure you are used to the short wheel base cab over trucks you all have over there, but I feel they are more likely to jack knife. And I'm sure you drive them accordingly. I'm not saying I'd be comfortable in my truck on these roads, but just more comfortable. I hope you're not paid on mileage.
Hi Tobie. You should check out Slipses youtube channel. He is a danish truckdriver specialised on northern norway. He makes some stunning videos in english. Spectacular views and scenary.
Have you ever driven European trucks? Your feeling about jack knifing.... is just that ...a feeling. The laws of physics rules and they will tell that you have turned reality upside down.... Whatever....careful driving ....and done by those who know what they are doing is absolute necessary....
@@tobiecouillard7864 Yes my friend that is how physics works..... The further back the fixation/rotation point between tractor and trailer is placed the easier it will "fold". When such happens it is the trailer that "drives" the tractor and not the opposite way, as it normal would do. The terms used in physics is called force, arm and momentum..... So yes US truck would fold easier than European with shorter wheel base....and shorter distance(arm) to the fixation/rotation point between trailer and tractor.
Problem here in Norway is the many narrow roads and the many foreign nationals who drives from continental Europe up to Norway, not understanding that the roads are different, the climate is different and they need chains etc, something that they often don't have.
Wow, and I thought Northern Canada was bad. We might have cold but we don't have those drop-off cliffs on the side of the road, plus our roads are WAY wider, and our trucks have the weight distributed 50/50 over the driving wheels and the trailer wheels, completely different than in Europe where the majority of the weight is over the trailer wheels and the truck's wheels just SPIN in the snow since there is almost no weight down on them.
@Men Guarding Their Own Wallets: Spot on! You're touching on a big part of the problem here. A good portion of transportation in Norway is made by drivers and companies that usually operate further south in continental Europe, or in the less hilly eastern Europe. They are used to loading their trailers to the max over the trailers axles, like you say, and at the same time they have trucks with only two axles and worn tires that are hard as hell in order to obtain a long life cycle in a warmer climate. In addition they rarely have the mandatory snow chains at their disposal. The result is not alot of weight over the driving axle, no option to lift a third axle, no good chains to put on and slippery tires - meaning no traction. In comparison Norwegian transport companies naturally have all of these things figured out and at the ready before each winter.
Euro trucks and Nordic trucks is not comparable. Euros run 5 axle rigs, and tend to load most of the weight on the trailer triple. Their trailer axels are also more in the centre of the trailer, while ours are placed all the way back. Some Norwegian companies run tandems, but the most common up here is a 3 Axel truck, the third being a tag axel. Lifting the tag gives you 20+ tons on the drive when loaded. Loaded truck should be 8 ton front, 19 ton boggi and 25 ton trailer triple.
In this video you can see several non - Balcanic states trucks in trouble. I went to Skandinavia for six years, I've seen many local truckers in hard situations too.
My dad drove a logging truck in British Columbia. He always said that if he met another car/truck on a narrow road, he'd rather hit the car/truck than drive off the road - some drops were small, but others were over 1000 feet.
as this clip started to play I was wondering what do you do if the load starts pushing the tractor in those conditions. I take my hat off to the guys running freight in those conditions
we in norway learn to drive in winter road. we learn to use truck good. we use normal truck with boggie. so if you lift up boggie before long way to top of the road, so you can drive to the top. but you must have good wheels. you must be relaxing. no panic. but if you only have two axle so use chain before start to the top of road. and never have bad time in winter. never. use long time if you must.
not many norwegian has accident in trucks in norway, its most people that havent driven in norway before that comes with summer tires in wiinter weather
Hehe . Watching this with amazement and then realizing I am also a truckdriver in Norway. I even drive on worse roads since I work in construction so we often drive on construction roads up in the mountains. No guardrail there ;-) I never saw myself as such a hero. Just doing my job LOL. Many people in the world have difficult jobs...
You have right.If you are doing a job with perfect equipment for this then the job should not be difficult just be a man and do yours job like every else on whatever job.You are hero then someone struggling same job just much worse equipment and sometimes no brains also ,thats it ))
@@kUuBiKuRuUbIk yes exactly like that. Just the other day we had a job on one of these construction sites. A dam for a powerplant on the mountain delivering concrete. Customer demanded all trucks HAD to put on chains before starting the climb up the construction road. They even had a man there to help putting them on. One driver just happily waved at this man and kept driving without chains. Second trip he's on his side in the ditch.. Pure stupidity. Insurance should just refuse to pay in this situation if you ask me...

This is actually normal winter conditions in Norway.. Its just the trucks that have horrible tires, no chains to put on and no experience in driving on ice and snow.. You guys should check out the show: Ice Road Rescue Its a show made in Norway about the towing company saving idiots like these :) Its actually kinda funny, older Norwegians speaking broken English. And i have a feeling the comment section are full of google translated Russian comments, some of these don't make sense at all.
White Bird pass in Idaho is the only hill that scares me,before i retired use to pull doubles and like the clip with lake at bottom its a town instead and last time i went down they still had no guard rails in, and as far down as that lake,REALLY SUCKED IN THE WINTER
Hairpin turns, kind of like 'Lyseveien' (8.4% average gradient) or 'Trollstigen' (between 9 and 10% average gradient) in Norway (do a Google pictures search). The latter of the two is closed during winter though, for obvious reasons (being like you mentioned - sucky in the winter).
Most norwegian truckers and other drivers can handle a little ice and snow, because or cars are equipped to do so. Trucks from other countries without so much snow are the problem.
Hesandm Is “on spot” still used today? I had it back in the times when driving in Norway, and never had to put on chains. It gave awesome traction on the driving wheels
If this is as bad as it gets Norwegian folks seem to handle their winter driving challenges better that here in the US. That single lane tunnel that only allows one driver at a time is cool.
And stupid Heinz at 3 minutes, who doesn't fold the mirror in BEFORE he starts the chain-job, and who doesn't run up to stop any traffic that might come the other way. He is more busy looking at the passing truck. This is a common mistake from the east European drivers. They have no concern about letting traffic by without making them stop stop.
Maybe you wanted to say polish, ukrainian and Belarus drivers. I am Latvian driver working in Norway company and there are no problems for me to work and deliver also in that kind of weather conditions.
My ass is clenching and I'm sitting in my house LOL some of these roads are seriously treacherous. I've been to Norway (up around Surnadal and then Oslo back in 1980) and it was cold but the deep snows hadn't set in yet. I was a truck driver for Truck Company 8th Motor Transport BN, 2nd FSSG USMC and at times I was in snow up to my ass. But only had to go over a road similar to this twice. So yeah, makes me clench up LOL Some of those roads barely wide enough for one at times, much less passing a truck with a truck.
the original video was played with this ua-cam.com/video/3x45pzmXeNo/v-deo.html It got copyright striked and later taken down, play it with this playing at the same time, it's excellent.
Yes, but it's very rare for a truck to completely fall off a cliff. Most trucks get recovered within a day or two. Maybe longer if the recovery requires a crane.
On the contrary. The problem is that these drivers don't have any skill at all. It's always foreign drivers who are not used to these conditions, driving on completely inappropriate tires, blindly following their satnav on to narrow winding mountain roads. Then they inevitably get stuck or tumble off the road and the government has to foot the bill for recovery.
I have been there trucking northern Norway in these condisions, trust me it may look like a adventure or fun to you .... But trust me its not fun and games these roads and mountains claims their chare of truck drivers and truck every year , and they will get it .....its one hand on the door handl ALLWAYS ...
@@Dani-it5sy Most truckers experience, sooner or later, to find themselves in an unfamiliar place where they realize too late that they should have put the chains on already. Lack of chains on the wheels is not always due to lazyness. And let me tell you, a situation like that is alot of things, but 'fun' aint one of them. Most people don't have a death wish.
Couple things is immediately clear: drivers from other countries don't understand safe place to change on chains, drive like nuts on summertires (maybe old m+s tires) and don't understand the driving between booms are illegal in winter, dangerous to oncoming colony and themself. I've drived few times big van and regular cars in northern Norway in fair summerweather, in fall severe storm and winter in long colony after the snowplow..
If there are no truck drivers then the computer or phone you used for that little insult would not be delivered and the economy of the U.S. and Europe would collapse along with empty store shelves.
@@hamzaamir7126 Touchy, aren't ya? I was making light of the horrible workplace these guys (includes you, I'm guessing) are faced with. A good friend (also a truck driver in the northern states here in the US) said that winter weather he experiences is similar to Norway's.

Time is money. Keep the speed up!
Have to keep those deadlines.
That's what I call winter! Not like here in Hungary... Winter here is a weak sh** but summers... almost like in Africa
This is actually normal winter conditions in Norway.. Its just the trucks that have horrible tires, no chains to put on and no experience in driving on ice and snow.. You guys should check out the show: Ice Road Rescue
Its a show made in Norway about the towing company saving idiots like these :)
Its actually kinda funny, older Norwegians speaking broken English.
And i have a feeling the comment section are full of google translated Russian comments, some of these don't make sense at all.
Whoa. I liked the music.
You guys have some awesome roads and scenery..for a motorcycle in summer..but for a big truck (lorry)...ehhh not so nice...in winter OR summer!
Even in summer I would be afraid to drive my truck there.
I had no idea that there were gated tunnels in Norway.
White Bird pass in Idaho is the only hill that scares me,before i retired use to pull doubles and like the clip with lake at bottom its a town instead and last time i went down they still had no guard rails in, and as far down as that lake,REALLY SUCKED IN THE WINTER
Hairpin turns, kind of like 'Lyseveien' (8.4% average gradient) or 'Trollstigen' (between 9 and 10% average gradient) in Norway (do a Google pictures search). The latter of the two is closed during winter though, for obvious reasons (being like you mentioned - sucky in the winter).
id drive off the road too listening to those sounds
A lot of drivers going way to fast for the conditions
Looks like they don't learn any better than US drivers. What a gorgeous is part of the world.
Damm it theres mountins in norway and theres slipery roads and how you gona on brake on speed 80kmh when its slipery? HUH
@@Auri713Real Drive slower!
@@Auri713Real There is one piece of advice every driver should be taught - DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS
@@judil3294 most of the drivers were Eastern Europeans. They’re not prepared for this type of conditions. Often they don’t even have winter wheels.
Most norwegian truckers and other drivers can handle a little ice and snow, because or cars are equipped to do so. Trucks from other countries without so much snow are the problem.

Is “on spot” still used today?
I had it back in the times when driving in Norway, and never had to put on chains. It gave awesome traction on the driving wheels
@@chukwow5738 Yes it is. But not everyone use it.
Fear!!!! Take care and good luck 👍
Better call it foreign truck driver who think they know how to drive in Norway.
Sure especially at 0.20
If this is as bad as it gets Norwegian folks seem to handle their winter driving challenges better that here in the US. That single lane tunnel that only allows one driver at a time is cool.
No worries, it gets lots worse than what you see here.
Не лёгкая работа. Удачи вам коллеги
And stupid Heinz at 3 minutes, who doesn't fold the mirror in BEFORE he starts the chain-job, and who doesn't run up to stop any traffic that might come the other way. He is more busy looking at the passing truck. This is a common mistake from the east European drivers. They have no concern about letting traffic by without making them stop stop.
he should not be there at all. he should have put the chains on before he start climbing!
@@MrPerkristian
Well, he is there.
Then he should prevent more trucks from getting in trouble.
that`s why all polish and latvian truck drivers are NEVER going to even think to deliver to Norway
Maybe you wanted to say polish, ukrainian and Belarus drivers. I am Latvian driver working in Norway company and there are no problems for me to work and deliver also in that kind of weather conditions.
TeamSquad TM in dza dza
I live in Norway and there are a lot of polish truck drivers there
Норвегия-это жесть!Тяжелее дорог в Европе нет!
Култук херня в сравнение?
@@АлексейМингалиев-у1е на култуке небыл, но судя по видео из ютуба, култук проигрывает.
My ass is clenching and I'm sitting in my house LOL some of these roads are seriously treacherous. I've been to Norway (up around Surnadal and then Oslo back in 1980) and it was cold but the deep snows hadn't set in yet. I was a truck driver for Truck Company 8th Motor Transport BN, 2nd FSSG USMC and at times I was in snow up to my ass. But only had to go over a road similar to this twice. So yeah, makes me clench up LOL Some of those roads barely wide enough for one at times, much less passing a truck with a truck.
The recovery teams were doing really tough jobs very well

Respect & thanks to these drivers!! 🙏 👍🚛
But;why is the road side protection so weak?! Why..!? 🤨 Very dangerous..❄️🌨️ 😬🤪
Any one know the name of the music that was playing in the background??
Very nice house music it is thanks.
Not bad after I muted the sound.
the original video was played with this ua-cam.com/video/3x45pzmXeNo/v-deo.html
It got copyright striked and later taken down, play it with this playing at the same time, it's excellent.
Winter is bad ,that's true, greetings from RO!
Are these trucks ever recovered from the ravines when the snow goes ?
Yes, but it's very rare for a truck to completely fall off a cliff. Most trucks get recovered within a day or two. Maybe longer if the recovery requires a crane.
They are retrieved asap.
Roads in Norway are similar to the Heritage Highway to Tumbler Ridge British Columbia. Really deep ditches lol.
Had to Google that, and it looked beautiful. Thanks! May have to check that out if ever in the vicinity.
That poor person who went over the side...
these drivers have some mad skills. Terrifying.
Luckily he was not badly injured.
On the contrary. The problem is that these drivers don't have any skill at all. It's always foreign drivers who are not used to these conditions, driving on completely inappropriate tires, blindly following their satnav on to narrow winding mountain roads. Then they inevitably get stuck or tumble off the road and the government has to foot the bill for recovery.
@Don V. John
What's possessed you to choose that dreadful music?
terrible youtube selection
Don can I share your video in my webpage?
Nobody:
Norwegian truck drivers: Hey why don't we take a shortcut through Death Mountain Freezing Hell Road?
I have been there trucking northern Norway in these condisions, trust me it may look like a adventure or fun to you .... But trust me its not fun and games these roads and mountains claims their chare of truck drivers and truck every year , and they will get it .....its one hand on the door handl ALLWAYS ...
It's fun if you have your equipment sorted out and aren't to lazy to put on chains..
@@Dani-it5sy Most truckers experience, sooner or later, to find themselves in an unfamiliar place where they realize too late that they should have put the chains on already. Lack of chains on the wheels is not always due to lazyness. And let me tell you, a situation like that is alot of things, but 'fun' aint one of them. Most people don't have a death wish.
Respect grom truck's ,and they're lives!
Excellent and very useful video, kudos. Greetings
Speed is the deciding factor,you speed in snow, it is the end !!
I thought inertia was the killer, though speed can play a large part. On snow or ice, no sudden changes, please.
Propper wintertires is also kee
Вид из окна прям завораживает!
Ильдар Татарин я бы поехал работать в норвегию
Mike Ingman ,I just to drve ther in the end of 70 and haf way tru 80 before i moved to USA
Couple things is immediately clear: drivers from other countries don't understand safe place to change on chains, drive like nuts on summertires (maybe old m+s tires) and don't understand the driving between booms are illegal in winter, dangerous to oncoming colony and themself. I've drived few times big van and regular cars in northern Norway in fair summerweather, in fall severe storm and winter in long colony after the snowplow..
Shucks, that ain't nothing. Try driving on the streets with all these drunks.
hei, im norwegian and I would be happy if I can post this to my channel? :)
Hei ! Yes please,You can post this to yours chnnel ;)
a few cases of "stopping is not an option"
Wanted: Masochists to Drive Trucks in Norway. Low Pay, Long Hours, Guaranteed Strandings. Apply Within.
If there are no truck drivers then the computer or phone you used for that little insult would not be delivered and the economy of the U.S. and Europe would collapse along with empty store shelves.
@@hamzaamir7126 Touchy, aren't ya? I was making light of the horrible workplace these guys (includes you, I'm guessing) are faced with. A good friend (also a truck driver in the northern states here in the US) said that winter weather he experiences is similar to Norway's.
@@ljprep6250 Your friend has obviously never been driving here..
This is the winter, that's true, but in fact we should be must prepare for this!My opinion!
Подскажите, что за музыка в клипе звучит?????
