Everything was FROZEN! | Trucking Through A HUGE Blizzard Part 2
Thanks for tuning in everyone! This is PART 2 of a 2 part series. Consider watching the first episode if you would like to better understand what is going on. In this video, I make my way from Portland, OR, up through Spokane, WA, across the panhandle of Idaho, through the icy roads of Montana, and finally arriving in Dickinson, ND. When I got there, the trailer I swapped with was completely FROZEN! Enjoy the video. :)

Shelby, you are such an inspiration in so many ways! I'm starting CDL Class A classes this month, will be pulling doubles and triples throughout Winter in Montana. New, completely different career at age 52. I'm a 5'2" woman. Excited and scared. Watching your videos is good for my soul and intel, both! THANK YOU :) :) :)

You need the right tools in winter driving. Alcohol for air lines, deicing spray for glad hands and frozen lights. FedEx is notoriously bad at providing the proper training for winter driving conditions.

You & Decota are like many have already posted, you are a team & you are awesome ✊ For below 0 1/keep air tanks free of water trailer included. 2/If you have alcohol bottle fitted to truck (but probably not) keep the alcohol bottle topped up. 3/ Go to a camping shop or Walmart store & Get A/ a small Butane gun & plenty of cans of gas B/ a small camping stove & plenty of gas You’d be surprised when it’s below 0 you don’t need a great deal of heat to un- freeze frozen air system + your lights etc you can melt the thick ice then spray with de-icer ✊👍 I learned these tricks from Scandinavian drivers, added together they work + carry a fold up Military shovel 👍✊🍀

This takes years for some people and others will never get to where you're at. What you have accomplished is amazing and is all because you care to be helpful to other truckers, newbie truckers, and regular drivers, you produce good content and you're personality is very likable. Keep putting out the videos because we will watch them. Stay safe and happy driving...

I hope you got a good school, because how you start trucking has so much to do with how it's gonna go. I started at 45, seven years after retiring from the military, and picked a very good company with their own school, M.S. Carriers. But not all the company-owned schools are so great, and some of the companies that have schools aren't so great, either. I'm reminded of the two school-grads from Swift who were team-driving and busted at an inspection having duplicate CDLs down to the last detail, supposedly earned at a state facility before the end of their driving school. So ask around about the school you're going to, and the company you're planning to work for.

Also sometimes the metal part on the gladhand will bend and make a lose connection. Treat your self to a head lamp for working at night. Don't wait 40 years like me to finally get one .

For frozen wipers, set the cab heater to full blast aimed at the windshield, like on defrost, and crack the passenger window so it will flow as fast as possible and will let in enough cold air so as not cook you in the cab, that way the excess heat hitting the windshield will melt the ice on the windshield and enough heat will transfer through the windshield to the wiper blades and help them melt the ice off the wipers. Also I sometimes put the wipers on intermittent, and when they swipe, I have my hand out the side window so I can grab it as it changes direction, and flick it away from the windshield so when it hits back, it breaks off any excess ice. If you are in winter conditions a lot, take off the spray tips on the washer hose to increase the flow rate, (it also prevents ice from clogging the spray nozzle) add a water heater to the washer fluid reservoir so it will be heated washer fluid going through the lines and on the windshield.

quick trick i learned living in extreme cold weather-keep a back of kitty litter with you when it starts to snow. A few things even on ice it gives just a touch extra traction , 2nd if you use it early morning and if not in a hurry it will help melt the ice it some how builds conductive heat just enough. Other than that you can also do half pound litter with 1/3 sand it doesnt take much to help. You can also opt to spread some on the tires tops it really comes to the traction in ice and snow so when your tires become wet they become slick so the more surface you can cover the more traction you can get.

Shelby, a few things I had while trucking in Northern Alberta. Extra winter washer fluid. Un-sticks frozen tires. Pour a cup over each trailer wheel. The fluid flows down between treads and thaws out ice under the tire. After stopping for the night. BEFORE you go to bed. Move the truck forward a foot. The tires will not be frozen in yet. The brakes pads can stick to the drum. Have a 2lbs hammer and a 3 foot - 2" dia. solid steel bar. Give the drums a hammer through the wheel spokes. Carry airline anti freeze. Put in a thimble of fluid in each air line before hooking up. 5lbs propane tank and tiger torch. Heat up anything. Watch where you place the heat. Air lines melt like butter. Last resort if trailer is stuck. After you pin in. Release and move forward 6". Back-in hard.

When an ice storm hits, the almost frozen rain will coat everything in a layer of ice and it can be the most beautiful thing when the sun comes up and shines through the ice! The only way to get out is before backing under the trailer, chip through and dig all the way down to the pavement and for at least 8 feet long (from the rear most tractor tire to the front tire) so you can get enough momentum to keep rolling in the snow, then before backing under the trailer dump a bag of water softener salt crystals where the pavement is. The all natural softener salt has coarse pea sized crystals that will aid in traction and will melt any residual ice. I had to do that once this winter when I got stuck on the ice, under the fresh snow, on a slight sideways incline, in an unplowed parking lot and the cab kept slipping sideways getting deeper and deeper in trouble.

Love the videos. After 14 years of being otr I've learned a few things. One thing that I'd like to share with you is , if the top of your windshield is covered with ice or snow. Put your visors down Crack your window just a bit and turn your defroster on. Having the visors down will help keep the windshield warm and will help keep the ice and snow from forming.

That was an awesome gesture on you to move that trailer that was dropped off preventing through way traffic. What amazed me was non of the other drivers gave you a helping hand to to assist you . More power to you Shelby, just keep it rolling.🙏😊

Retired after 44 years in the trucking industry and can't remember drivers being this happy to put on chains. Good for her. Seen many who didn't know how and some who put the cam locks on the inside.

I drove for years. It was fun but it got to the point, to where I hated to be alone for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. I seen every state except for Maine. Drove thru snow storms where I couldn't see the road, but I couldn't stop because if I did, it would be another car pile up. So I just watched mm signs to stay on the roads. Winter is no joke and no place for a truck. So I appreciate every trucker out there getting supplies to the stores so the lives of others well be taking care of.

The axle interlocks work fine at ANY speed and help in slippery road conditions. I don't know where this idea of yours comes from. I've been driving cmv's for over 35 years, even in winter all over the country...safe travels, young lady.

To keep your windshield wipers free from snow building up is set your defrost to cold and put the fan on medium. You will freeze your windshield and snow will not build up on your wipers. My tractor has sensor in intermittent wipers that will keep them on depending on moisture. Anyways, safe travels, thanks for sharing your adventure!

Trucking has its moments. Never drove in the snow much but it was pretty spectacular at times. Seen a few rigs skating down the hill as I was going up. A few years ago a 14 pointer broke out of the scrub, bound across the road in front of me then disappear into the scrub again. It was on a clear night, full moon with a snow covered mountain in the background. I dont do trucking anymore but there were definitely some moments.
