As soon as he said The first syllable Of the sentence “Shouldn’t be windy in 20 miles” the Wind will smack the driver window and you’ll say “Oh Shit! I feel like I’m on 3 wheels man!”
Definitely a learning curve. Winter in the high plains states is ghastly. Weather you cannot control, but where you drive is. You'll figure this out and it won't happen in future runs. Take care!
Alex: “I’ve been stuck here for 4 days!, I never want to see this truck stop again!” The weather: allow me to introduce myself. Also Alex: here we are again home sweet home 😑
Alex, your mistake was expecting that Wyoming would have their roads open. Wyoming is always the first to close the highways, and the last to open them. You would've been much better off going down to Denver, and going through the middle of the Colorado rockies; THEY keep the highways open! It would've been almost 200 miles of the steepest mountain highways, but you would've got to SLC at least 2 days sooner.
Just a heads up....when it's the winter time just stay away from 80 completely. Tell your dispatchers to route you around it if your going west to interstates like 40 or 10 depending on what part of the west coast you are going to. Driving 80 or 90 in the winter time is basically asking to have all your time wasted by sitting
The fact that Alex is driving the Freighleiner in the same colour combination and interior spec as mine is in American Truck Simulator is just plain ridiculous coincidence. 😁
Dunno if you saw my recommendation earlier. For emergency potty get a #10 can and a bag of kitty litter. If you don't like roughing it like that, then go to an outdoor sporting store and get a portable chemical terlit. That way you have an emergency terlit you can use in your rear of the cab. Both stop all odors and you can simply dump the waste in the trash at the next rest area or truck stop. Works very well.
You might really like the heated work gear, your choice from socks and glove liners to thermal clothing liners to pants and coats, jackets and vests. They work by battery and if you like the heat packs you might need really love these! And you can set it from Low Med High. And just switch it off and the heat stays inside the coat, etc. for a pretty long time and it takes the chill off of it without wearing it while icy cold
Good morning Alex! 💪 Thank you for trucking America's goods! 👍👍. Do you ever get on the radio and ask other truckers if the road is still closed? If Garmin tells you to detour onto the Beartooth highway, please ignore him. Stay safe. p.s. that Ecuadorian sweater is awesome! I love it.
Maybe try 511..most states have it I believe. Might be helpful; it gives road closures, road condition, access to live Cameras\video, and plow trucks locations (if they are out) and other useful information. Each state is different, but the basics are the same for each.
Thanks for the awesomesauce video Alex. You poor kid. And BTW you can poo on the side of the road. It isn't pretty, but you do what you need to. Actually I recommend, get coconut shell and a 5 gallon pail. Keep your grocery bags. Make sure to keep your #1 & #2 separate!! The coconut shell helps the poo become compost. But if 1 & 2 mix you will get hydrogen sulfide formed (that bad egg smell) which can suffocate you. Be safe out there.
i was thinking the same thing lol i saw snow blow onto the road but i didnt see anything that would make a driver back track 60 miles and sit another day lol
If you can’t make it all the way through Wyoming or Montana, it’s best to find a place to park, because if you stop in them for the night you might be snowed in when you wake up.
loved driving through Wyoming. 70 an 80 always get fucked up during the winter. The thing I love to say in the beautiful state of Wyoming is the wind loves doing the speed limit
Trucker Josh is 1 of the biggest UA-cam complainers. I wish somebody would cancel him. He whines worse than a baby. A$$hole blocked me because I told him he complained all the time.
@@kennethmullen7183 Maybe I'll have some fun using Ralph the Lobster? I could ask him if he's going through MANOPAUSE? I could ask him if his momma is still a LOT LIZARD? Alex makes me laugh I always say he's in CDL puberty!
@@devilshark8200 sir im not bashing him or anything. i even love his videos. i am just asking him whether or not he has a video where he doesnt complain. i know alot of youtubers that are truckers that doesnt complain. maybe im just a viewer that hates about complaining.
@@maticklolo or maybe his UA-cam audience is the only ones that he can bitch and complain to in order to relieve his stress. When my brother was long-haul truck driving he would call me in the evenings to bitch and complain. After he did he would feel better as if I was his unofficial therapist. Most of the people I've ever known in my life have somebody they bitch or complain too to relieve stress because if they don't they eventually explode and do something very stupid. Maybe you're one of the rare exceptions of people who can bottle it all up inside and never explode. I complain to my brother my father bitches to my mother my mother bitches to her best friend. And none of us have ever spent a single Dollar on a actual therapist as a result. Lol
Stay Safe Alex! What did you do for 4 days, you didn't post any new videos? How often do have to run the engine to stay warm and charge the batteries? Now I know where my FedEx package is...lol
Depends on what you are doing in the truck. If it has a bunk heater that will work all night just fine for staying warm unless it's like 20 degrees or colder than that then I just run the engine all night. I also have to run the truck for a bit while I'm playing games on the gaming laptop so the batteries don't die. I get low voltage playing with the laptop for just a few hours if the truck is off. Most of the time just run the truck while I'm gaming, then turn it off and use bunk heater for sleep.
The trick when going to Salt Lake City is to take I-70 through the Rockies and avoid WY at all costs. If you’re lucky you won’t even have to chain up !
Just got done with my first full week as a solo driver. 3200 miles I was on i-80 most of. Time for a 34, I could keep running because of my recaps but I'm tired. Stay safe
Me too I m about to finish my second week. Been in Kansas Oklahoma Iowa Colorado south Dakota etc.. not bad driving.. frozen roads in Oklahoma on my second day was nerve-racking tho
There have multiple weather events that have rendered different parts of the country closed due to weather, I am glad you stayed safe! Are we going to see some cooking videos because you were stranded so long?
Lol no matter what you’re day is you make it work and can still make jokes about your day but weather like that I think I would never leave my house be safe and please rest why you can I’ll pray extra tonight that you stay safe
🤣 I've been running that route all year. Unless 80 is shut down I'm rolling. 65 mph gusts aren't anything. Faster you go, easier it is. Also need to be at least 60k gross. Rawlins is the place I like stopping at.
Compra un Loo, los venden en Dick’s sporting goods. Tambien compra 8 gallon scented trash bags los venden en Walmart. Alli esta tu baño. Mucho cuidado en el camino hermano.
With Diesel under 15 degrees F the fuel gels up and you can’t do anything once it is in that state until it gets warmer unless you put additives in the mix before hand and they don’t always work perfectly so a lot of mega carriers tell you not to shut down under 20 degrees. Also when living in the truck there is a bunk heater that uses diesel but when that cold that line gels up so you keep the truck running for heat so the driver doesn’t become a popsicle.
If he was idling its about 4-5 days on a full tank. BUT, GP has bunk heaters, and an APU, so probably a couple of weeks before he ran out of fuel. Ive only gone a week with just my APU on and my fuel gauge hardly moved after a week.
Brother I hate to say it but I think you need to freelance coast to coast with your own trailer and rig. Upfront cost are intimidating but I think it would best suit your style and needs.
Something tells me this is the type of labor worker who follows everything by the book even the most common sense things.. I feel like most experienced, veteran and hard workers would of found a way by the 2-3rd day 😂 good shit tho drive safe
@@BoskiM They're cousins and one is the son of my partner and I trained them both. Last week I brought them both to Walmart and one of them hid my truck behind the building.
Next time look us up we're in Cheyenne could of hung out wait out the storm. Ya wyoming socks for wind and snow storms I 80 from Cheyenne to rock springs is the worst.

I just passed up an $80.000 job offer.
Would be a cool video...."Stuck living at a truck stop for 4 days "
Alex You ever Been here in North Carolina ? If so where
Had to laugh when he said "shouldn't be windy when i get 20 miles down the road" . Growing up in Wyoming I knew he would be in for a treat 🤣🤣
I made that rookie mistake once 😅
As soon as he said The first syllable Of the sentence “Shouldn’t be windy in 20 miles” the Wind will smack the driver window and you’ll say “Oh Shit! I feel like I’m on 3 wheels man!”

@@HandsomeJ its a lonely life yo
I was stranded at Cheyenne Wyoming at a Pilot gas station from January 27 until February 2. That was my first time going into Wyoming.

He Should have gotten on Wyoming dot page and could have seen the roads were closed. Been in that situation many a times
Alex: "Goodbye truck stop, i never wanna see you again"
Also Alex: "Ok garmin Truck stop along my route"
Stay safe out there driver
He’s not handsome nobody messing with him
Dude.. your channel rocks! Great to find a channel that makes me smile.
You guys be safe out there and welcome back
Somewhat impressed with GP watching you. 25 yr driver here, messaged them told them it was from watching your yt channel. Stay safe kid.
Man I really enjoy watching your vlogs!
Alex... you were in Charlotte (near me) not so long ago. Now look at ya LOL. In the snow, ice, wind. Always welcome back here. - Rob
I'll be in Charolette tomorrow morning with one of my guys we take 6 trailers a week up there. T-T
Have a safe trip always ☺️

Don’t talk ish about I-90
Yeah I would have went I-40 west to Flagstaff, then go north. Not a major interstate going north but it's better than sitting for a week.
So go the long way to get to salt lake
That is what winter is all about . Lolol , just be careful and stay safe and warm 👍🙏😇
youtube decided my fate for me when I found your channel. I just want to be a trucker now lol. thank you!! :)

Love your videos! Stay safe, man!😊
B safe out there Alex 👍✌️😉
I'm from Wyoming the wind is no joke!
I seen a gp truck off of i80 few hours ago just east of the pilot got me thinking of your videos
was waiting for this video since the storm on last video.
Hang in there it will get better !

Love you Alex 💋
Please make these longer.

Hint: Google. Most every state has a recorded Road information phone line. Wyoming definitely does. It pays off sometimes…just saying
I’ve been driving flatbed about 29 yrs, but I don’t go up there in the winter.
Oh crap it’s Alex that trucking guy 🤭
