Do not flow GPS, it can get you into trouble and you find out you have a 12'6" Bridge or a bridge that doesn't allow trucks that have 78,000 pounds. GPS can get you into trouble and you find out you have a ticket waiting for you. If the GPS tells you to get off here and your on a interstate, don't get off. I've been there and had low bridges, bridge weights and learned alot. Don't go to TranAM College.

[@davidmerrifield2891]

Maybe you should have the company get you some chains for that truck

[@46GarageUSA]

Alex ? Can you please start doing longer videos , like 30 minutes, just talk, about anything. You don't even need to edit videos .

[@mrwilson7617]

Your truck needs a bigger turbo. Have Cleetus McFarland hook you up with some twin turbskies !!! And stop listening to the GPS w/o checking the route 1st. I have had mine take me off the highway, go 3-4 miles, then put me right back on. WTF ?? Did it again the next time I was in the same spot but I just ignored her. Always look at the overall trip before you head out. Sometimes you know a better route. Keep On Truckin' kid. You're doing great !!!

[@RJSAMCRO]

Alex as a former Hot-Shot Owner and Driver, I can tell you that waiting it out and not traveling into situations that put you, the truck, and others at risk is ALWAYS the right thing to do. Absolutely NO FREIGHT is worth your life or risk damage to a vehicle. Alternate routes are not always the best either. The Garmin you are using is designed for cars and pickups, it doesn't really have dedicated truck routes like the truck specific GPS systems do. I used the Overdryve 7 it's pre-loaded with all truck routes as well as alternates including road restrictions for trucks and will automatically detour you around non ideal truck routes. You stay safe and keep doing what your doing. Love this channel

[@Scuba_Bro]

That’s so cool! I didn’t realize there were truck oriented GPS units… I thought they were all the same, generally speaking. I learn something new everyday lol

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Hope Alex understands the type of company he's working for they must be an outstanding company he said that he gets paid $100 a day to cause part if it's because of inclement weather I've only ever heard of two companies that will do that and most companies that I know if you call your supervisor up and tell them I'm no longer driving in this area until winter ends they will laugh at you over the phone and tell you find go find another job then or else your driver we tell you to that is an incredibly privileged company he's working for and I hope he understands that

[@brenda28557]

That looks like a Garmin Truck GPS what do u mean it's not a trucker gps?, And That is why it's best for you (I only drive in perfect weather) drivers to stay tf off the road in the winter time, y'all extreme cautious super slow drivers need to find a non driving job, y'all cause accidents because you're not used to driving in less than perfect weather.

[@Phoenix37csp]

I-80 is basically a seasonal road. if it's winter, dont even bother tbh. The plows can run all they want and it doesn't matter, the wind blows it right back.

[@scotthibbard5746]

Make sure your Garmin is set on quickest route not shortest route. Shortest route will take you through small towns. You'll end up somewhere you don't want to be.

[@bradknightable]

I'm with you on waiting it out. Strong winds, torrential rain, blizzard conditions. didn't sign up for any of that and won't risk my life in it. I get payed a day rate regardless of if I'm waiting on weather or moving. It's just not worth the risk

[@shadowdemon13]

The best time to drive, when no one is on the roads. That's why I love driving at night, thru the night. Keep safe and have fun.

[@dearghostl.a6737]

Same/ But in snowy times sucks that you cannot see clearly that ice waiting for us

[@Brianpeckin]

I hate driving at night. Unfortunately that's what my schedule is. Can't stand it. It's darker. Obviously things freeze up more often. Animals are more active. The last places to park even for brakes. I hate those douchebags take the brakes over at at pumps nothing to look at at night. Stores aren't open if you want to stop real quick if I had my way I like to get up at three or four in the morning. Start driving maybe a little later

[@TerraFirmaX]

Sometimes that means no one is making it thru

[@badbanana0]

I’d do that but I’ve never been able to sleep during the day.

[@raven55six]

I live in Himachal, India which is Himalayan mountains and when it snows here, you can only do 10 km/h which is 6.2 mph because there is so much black ice that its dangerous to drive any faster even in a car, let alone that huge of a vehicle.

[@kennyworth007]

Cheyenne to Salt Lake- Just stay on 80, Alex. If 80 is closed, you can bet your butt, the other roads are usually much worse. Keep it on the big road as much as possible. Messing around in these little towns on GPS adventures is going to get you into trouble.

[@joshuastevens5910]

The scale houses will tell drivers if they’re not experienced with Wyoming to stick to 80. Generally if 80 is closed, others remain open unless it’s just a whiteout. I used to make trips from Pocatello to Gillette, 2 times a week with f350 and 35 foot gooseneck. Fun trip in the winter! Transported trucks for Ford dealers. Hopefully Alex doesn’t have to experience South Pass in the winter.

[@mars4697]

Life in those little towns are so good and so hard at the same time. I grew up in one of those little towns you passed. There were 3 kids in my grade and we lived more than 30 miles apart.

[@dukecopeland5786]

I love your videos Alex, brings back memories running OTR in 1976-1977 and crossing Wyoming in winter and having to get off I-80 because it was too slippery late at nite and waiting till next day to head to Salt Lake. 2 winters in a truck was enough for me, i quit OTR and worked last 43 yrs doing local freight in So Cal

With the kinds of information and technology we have, Garmin or Google should be able to predict with high accuracy if certain roads are drivable or not. It's not acceptable to blindly chart routes for truckers that are dangerous and risky in this day and age.

[@benbrockton]

Being that you are a experience driver. It's shocking that you don't trip plan and realize 80 always get shutdown in this area often. 70 will bypass issues in the winter. Letting the dm know so they can inform the receiver . Then you get more miles and deliver on time. Common sense.

I don't say this to be mean or anything but you have ALOT to learn about trucking lol. Telling your managers all those places you don't want to run is going to have them looking at you like "well if he won't run here or here, where can we send him?" And they'll probably only give you small runs...and don't follow your GPS instructions down to a T. You gotta trip plan better dawg. And I know you are still a beginner at this but just be careful with some of the decisions you make. I will admit tho the BEST decision you have made (even if it costs you 6 days of sitting on a load) is being safe cause that's what it all comes down to is your safety. Just also know being TOO SAFE is a way to not make money in trucking if you get what I mean. Otherwise keep doing ya thing and learning how trucking goes 💯

[@tinman6922]

Why did you get off I80 to drive two lane country roads then get back on I80? Use a little common sense and don’t blindly follow the GPS. And here’s a little tidbit - Wyoming closes I80 for days at a time for ice and snow, take I70 instead - road closures in CO only last for hours, not days.
