Struggling Through Winter Trucking Conditions - Chaining Up Just To Dock At A Store!

0 Days Left | Filming everyday until 2023!
It's the last days of 2022. I did it. I made it to the finish line. I can't believe I had to chain just to deliver to this receiver. What a mess, but that is trucking for you. Also Rawlins, WY Flying J doesn't have functional bathrooms or showers. Double wammy, but we made it through! Let's hit 2023 running! HAMMER DOWN.

Happy New Year! The year 2023 will be your year! I am convinced that everything you have planned will turn out the way you wanted it to. And don't worry about us on KZbin. Everyone here knows that work is always more important than a video. We can wait, that's not a problem!👍😊

[@jessesager9460]

Glad you made it home just in time! You and the pup have a good new year, and hopefully better days are ahead.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MAY 2023 BRING YOU LUCK

[@kylaura]

Dakota is an absolutely beautiful pupper

[@kennethheck3362]

Just thinking of you. Luv ya 😘 💓

[@davidkelly7314]

I really feel for you as winter is never fun having to chain up just to get up a driveway, as well as all the stress diving in winter condition. Hope you fingers are ok and never feel pressure to get a video up, take care of yourself first as I don’t mind waiting for your videos. I will always be here to full support you! It’s hard when you really looking forward to a hot shower just to be told there isn’t one, I’ve had it happen to me and also gone a few days without showering. Dakota is so adorable and love how she keep you company. Would like to see you show the Dot website on road conditions as I may need it one if I’ve over there.

[@nickalvillar5640]

Just subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago. I was just watching some winter driving videos and yours pulled up. I just started my trucking company this year I do 53ft dryvan and I live in Salt Lake City Utah and I take a load to Portland Oregon and bring one back every week. Can't wait for winter to be over. It's definitely beautiful, But would rather have sunshine and dry roads. Anyways thanks for the videos fun to watch! ✌️

[@kopenhagenkid]

Safe travels trucking Shelby and Dakota

[@coreyerwin2536]

The place to get showers is Loves in green river wyoming it's new. That flying j you were at is terrible! It's been there forever.Happy New Year! I'm out here driving also. This year I worked Thanksgiving, Christmas, and new years. Just bought a house and I want some really nice furniture. I have expensive taste lol! Have a great one!

[@Connie1Fan]

So glad you're safe, and noticing that you need to protect and take care of you first before doing anything else for anybody... we understand! Start the New Year squeaky clean now that your home and able to shower, safe, cozy and rested Have a good night Shelby and Dakota!! 🥰🎉🍾🥂

[@dc76384]

3 or 4 days without a shower, and being able to shower at home. That is a great feeling. Just that much better being home.

[@EdisnFox]

5:20 Hey, If that's I-80 East, I drove that Route back in October 2022. I remember it by seeing the Wooden Skid Wind Rows, that are there to try to deflect the wind, from hitting the highway. I was driving from SanFran to West Chester, Ohio.

[@dougmitchell5435]

I was trying to wait for you to post this, but I am old and needed to go to bed. 😀 I hope you were off the road early NY eve; my memory is that to of companies made their drivers shut down early to avoid the drunks. Chain to make a delivery? Phooey. I mostly ran New England, and they plowed like they meant it. I never heard of using chains until we moved out here.The plowing here is abysmal, especially when one considers that there is not a lot of snow in most of Washington. The idea of closing roads is just not familiar to someone from the east; I can recall the NY Thruway being closed just a few times, and only once when I was trucking. Dakota is probably spoiled, but all good dogs need to be spoiled. Try having a 125 Rott X who needs to be close all time - had one that did so when I had the flu. Fever compounded by furry dog! (He took after his Fila side in most ways, real affectionate with us, submissive to my wife's Tervuren, and vile with strangers.) Right now the current dog of the house, another Rott X rescue, is stretched out on the couch, more or less on top of my wife. I'd show you a picture, but she forbids it. Have a better New Year, and be safe.

[@FDNY8231]

Happy New Year Shelby & Dakota ... Worst roads I've EVER driven on in 40 years is Wyoming ... Never again! Take care, stay safe ... Love ya!

[@arr64lima63]

New Year's Eve is especially stressful due to the fact you are evaluating the year's accomplishments compared to your plans from last year. It's ten times as hard when you don't have anyone sharing your life so that you can work together and support one another. Dakota is a good dog, but maybe not the partner you need for this. Anyway, you are a bright, driven person who has a lot to offer. Take time for you and your mental health. Your fans support you and know that keeping yourself healthy is a lot more important than keeping to an upload schedule. We'll be here, regardless. Best of 2023 to you.

[@Pharphette]

You made it! Thanks for the company

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Shelby and Dakota

[@dgarreis]

Do not stress the vlogging thing. Business is always first! Take some time and relax over the New Years while your home! Happy New Years to you and Dakota!

[@kendrickkx]

Happy New Year 🥳 to you and Dakota.

[@loribrown5235]

It's all worth it when you get to take a hot shower at home and sleep in your warm cozy bed!!!

[@1inAtrillion]

Chains can be so temperamental let alone rolling around in sludgy snow with painfully numb fingers. To be fair that drive way should be cleared and gritted ready for delivery. Great job stay safe out there.

Happy new year. Sometimes life seems to hard. When that happens, you have to do something that makes you smile.

[@randycarter7288]

Happy New Year Beautiful and I love your little laugh.

[@oscaramaya8599]

You're awesome

[@DirkTrucks]

So many stressful parts of the job that are hard things for non drivers to truly and fully understand. That stress of running so tight on clock time and finally shutting down with only minutes left, more back to back 14 hour days than you can even remember, breakdowns and not knowing how long you’ll be stuck, maintaining control in bad weather conditions (especially high winds) while driving a 72’ long, 13.5’ tall vehicle, not being able to showers for days sometimes due to where you end up having to stay overnight, and on and on … It can all kick the crap out of you every now and then, that’s for sure. Good job, driver. I hope you had an extra long shower at home. You definitely earned it! Happy New Year, Shelby!! I hope you have an amazing year ahead. Oh .. and I agree … it’s impossible to be mad at Dakota or any other GSD! They give you that puppy eyes and innocent ears combo and they’ve got you wrapped around their toe bean! 😂

[@dangerhellbender3245]

All the best. Hoping for some of your super luck sheds off on me.
