so once again manuel is better--- what are those other gauges lower left- i know stick not wizardry

hitting the ditch is that the end of your career?

swift wouldnt change my 3/32 rear tires im hazmat endoresed requiring 4/32 and above... they wouldnt change the tires when they had spares that had much more tread... what would u do? i parked it rented a car and went home---

what gets me--- is you doing triple work at triple reduced pay with 10x reduced wages to get through that crap and no one in the trucking industry thinks you deserve more pay for putting up with this

Good video! Just curious what kind of trailers those were?

I’m glad you think it is safe to drive snow SMH

I was just on that pass last week in the snow. You give good sound advice. I also do cabbage and deadmans pass about once a week.

This is fine until you have a douche trucker come from behind at 60 mph

Great video, any rookies watching this should learn this and share with other rookies. Let’s keep those roads safe.

Confused how are you driving with your air at 0? Are Freightliner’s just not setup the same as Pete’s where your emergency breaks are supposed to pop between 20-40psi? I hear the warning thing going nuts the whole video saying ur under 60psi lol

engine brake is safer many times that regular brakes. It slows down the axle itself and not the wheels so less liable to slip, and when it does slip the ECU turns off immediately while by the time you notice wheels are slipping due to regular brake it's too late.

Great video great advice. About to do my first winter in UPS feeders. ✌️From MTL Quebec !!

I'm confused. With low air pressure why hasn't your pop out valves popped out and your breaks not locked up?

That’s the worst part of driving in my opinion

You should lock out tag out your breaker panel

Great video!!!

Great video.

you aren't worried about hitting ice?

You must be In Canada. You can't leagally run 102k in the United States.

How do you know if the other wires are properly grounded in order to not have to hook up the old ground wire?

I been driving around 12 years OTR, I must say this video is golden. Very well explained for reasons why…….. if you know you know

oh my God... did you just get out of school. what the hell is feather stabbing???? look at the road not the dash!!!! I'd like to meet your teacher that was in school and your trainer no wonder you guys are having accidents right and left you're driving skills sux

any thoughts on the Allison 4650RDS?

I'm sure oncoming traffic loves seeing a truck driver in these conditions playing with his cell phone instead of focusing on the road.

This is a great demo thanks driver!

Can all mechanical thermostat be replaced by any digital thermostat? Or does this require some sort of matching of functions?

This guy doesn't acknowledge his followers

Can you do the same going uphill in an auto trans?

Why dont you use winter tires for your truck ?

102 K? thought max was 80K in the US?

There are truck drivers like me who drive in the city and think we are all that and then there are real Truck drivers who drive down a snowy mountains and think that is normal. My respect to you sir and all those brace men and women Truck divers out there. 😆 🤣

Dude? Cdl school is teacing me not to use your Breaks and no stabbing. ,it will lock your tires.and where are the escape ramps?

What is that horn sound ?Buzzing Sound.

My Respect to you my good man. I've been through some bad snow, nothing like this and definitely not on an automatic. You have a lot of courage my friend.

Excellent video bro. Can you explain why you want to keep the rpms around 14-1500? Also, if you were in automatic what rpm would the truck be before upshifting?

Excellent technique... Thank you Jeremy!!

Did they find it?

I was empty and going down a hill at 38 mph and started skidding and jackknifed and fired ..yes you”re loaded which is the difference but you were going basically the same speed .. wish my company woulda gave me a break

Great video .. I run snowy mountains, I watch this stuff to give my confidence a boost lol .

Thank you

Rookie driver here, 6 mo. Never driven mountains in the winter. Just got a dedicated run drivin Donner Pass 2x daily. Anyone have some advice, thanks

Thank you

I been driving slick and nasty mountain pass's fer forty yeears and AH could not, ah say ah could not imagine doing it without me jake brakes......switching between those jake settings like a kid with a joystick on a fast moving video game......well maybe not quite that much but anyways... I ran from Clammy Balls to Medford over hwy 140 6 days a week with a set of double tankers....lots o fun when empty on the snotty stuff......But there was one night in particular....it was snowing hard hard hard.....that pass has some of the most radical weather changes of any pass I have ran through. I was loaded just under 105,000 as usual.....visibility was damn near zero....crawling along at maybe 10 or 15 mph across the top of the pass.....twas nice to finally get to the bottom and out of the snow. Coming back empty is what made it memorable...I was blasting through over a foot of virgin powder that felt like driving on white sand....it was like I had full traction so I was doing 60 mph back across the top through this pretty deep virgin powder snow in the middle of the night with no other cars in sight for miles. It was so quiet and smooth and the full moon was out bright as it turned into a clear night sky so all the snow crystals were sparkling bright as I have ever seen them. It was almost like a magical fairy tale scene and when I'd hit the much deeper drifts the snow would explode out ahead of me as I blew through the drifts. Anyways...the moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to use your jakes on snow and ice...you have to discriminate between the off setting and positions 1, 2 and 3.

why do they say not to use your jake? I use em no problem, never even touch the break

I drive on hwy 140 in Oregon from Medford to K. falls every day, and this is exactly how my drive looks during winter. I try not to chain up if I don’t have to. Slow and steady is the way to go. Be safe out there!

Hey buddy show us the ROAD not your steering wheel. 😅

I try not to even use brakes, find the right gear and stay at high rpms, if you have to use the brakes, slow down before the turns, if its a long turn then slow down more to compensate for the momentum you will pick up in the turn

When I was a line haul driver we used to call our personal safe speed our "ditch" speed, only go as fast as you feel comfortable hitting the ditch.

It’s all definitely what’s you hauling I’m from Northeast and I’m afraid when snows more than 6 inches , no way to drive empty trailer very dangerous,

I would avoid using the service brakes at all. At these low speeds, it is safe to use the jakes. If the trailer DOES start to get unstable, you can use the trolley brakes to get it under control.
