@@dustinhuffman574 You are right about warm tires in snow or ice. When parking, I park and move in a few minutes and do it again. Especially if there’s a bunch of snow and ice that will try snd freeze up your brakes

[@ZombieKiller1965]

Well that one's on you Rob. Pulling into standing snow, locked up axle, and no kitty litter on board. Seeing as you should have chains anyway get the ones that mount without having to pull ahead or back. I'm a big supporter of yours but today was not one of your better days. And really is a load worth it? Sit out the storm. That's one of the advantages of being an owner op.

To prevent trailer breaks freezing in cold weather don't set them just truck parking brake lol love the videos

It was locked

[@FreedomInc]

Idk . Do people not watch? Not listen. I mean he litterally said in the video that he had them locked..Was he supposed to lock lock them? Or lock lock lock them? I'm really curious now.

[@johnnybegood9285]

@@FreedomInc No, but he was supposed to unlock his frozen brake. If he did that, instead of trying to find pavement so he could drag his tires, maybe he wouldn't have had to lock his power divider in the first place. Totally useless trying to move a truck with an empty flatbed in the snow period. Even most rookies know that when you are empty and you put a pebble in front of a tire, you are not moving in 6 inches of snow let alone with a frozen brake. Then he says his traction control doesn't work well? Lita warned him so she saw the snow, but yet he didn't see it? I really like watching these videos, but I swear this guy is his own worst enemy. Promised to be paid when he loaded those trucks and yet continued to not only deliver them but unload them without being paid and leave? He should have set the maxi brakes after being loaded and not moved until paid. Maybe he should get on Facebook and post "I've been in trucking for years now, but I don't know why I get stuck and get burned for money all the time. Now what"? I agree with others. Video of the week on Bonehead Truckers. I bet he grabbed the first cheap paying load offered to get out of there too, but he'll say he doesn't understand why everyone hauls cheap freight.

If you know it’s going to get cold or snow you don’t set your trailer breaks leave then not set so they won’t freeze up. The only break you set is the truck breaks not the trailer!!!!!!!

Advice, dont set your trailer brakes in the winter. It happens to the best of us man. Dont let it bother you!

[@jamesbigham9036]

You guys should buy some rock salt. Rock salt is going to use when you get stuck in snow and ice. You put it in front and behind the tire and it will give you traction. That is an old school trick that my parents taught me. That will save you time and money Well you found out that toy isn't tough enough to be Mackie proof.

[@ve3lks997]

Many have already mentioned not setting the trailer brakes. You should also be bleeding all your air tanks too before parking for the night to get the moisture out so your lines don't freeze up.

[@myronbedner989]

They have that new truck stop in Mankato its a good one 👍🏻

[@larrythompson8630]

I looked at buying a 10k lb loader tractor 500 miles away. Saw a machine hauler. “$1500, or $1600” I figured a grand for me to do it for myself. Yes over $3 loaded mile. Hopefully he has load going that way . In cold do not set you trailer brakes. Then pull ahead after 15 minutes, set again. Truck brakes in real cold.

[@Andyhdz19]

Rob i have my own hotshot company, i dont drive anymore, i have drivers leased and dispatch others. The market is bad, but honestly the only way to get loads is being on the load board literally all day non stop and the fastest finger will get the load. The market is bad but all the trucks are still grossing 6k and its not to bad for non cdl. Just keep your head up and maybe get a dispatcher who will be on the board all day for you. Good luck man.

Well it's evident that Rob has not driven in deep snow for long distances. And never experienced heavy ice build-up. For 1 that's not that much snow overall on the ground and 2 that's a very light coat of ice. What would the rookie do in a real blissard with 20 foot tall snow drifts and snow of 4 feet deep, and drifted around the trucks that are you can't even open your doors.

you should look into getting a set of folding steps for the dogs like Kurt from trucking with Schmidt has for his German Shepard and if I was still driving over the road I would seriously consider getting a set of Automatic chains for your drive axles I know Casey LaDell got a set for both drive axles and says he wishes he hadn’t waited so long he has done videos of using them in different situations including driving in slush and having it freeze solid on the system and he has no problem when he turned them on they had plenty of power to break the frozen ice and snow off of them and they work great in up to 6” of snow I believe he paid $2000.00 per axle and it wouldn’t take long for them too pay for themselves just in piece of mind when you go to park for the night on ice or hard pack snow with warm tires you can just throw the switch as you pull into the parking spot and you will be sitting with the chains under the tires and be able too drive away in the morning instead of having trouble getting out of the craters that your warm tires melted themselves into
