As a member of the NSP who works in the “North Plate” area I just want to thank you and all of the truckers for what you do and sacrifice to keep our country supplied. Much respect to you. Stay safe and warm!!!

[@dickydewpodcast]

I loved running in the snow but it took me 4 yrs to get comfortable with it. Now I'm retired after 25yrs accident free. Heart condition lost my CDL.. Be safe always use your instincts and training.

[@kevinhilnbrand1373]

No load is ever worth your life, or the lives around you. Never has, never will be. Personally I would have covered some ground. But only you know your skill level. If you have the time, which you did, and you don't feel comfortable driving in it, then don't. You are the captain of that truck, had you chosen to drive and bad things happened that responsibility rests on your shoulders at that point. None of these keyboard warriors would have been there to bail you out of a bad situation, but I bet they would have been the first to jump in your parking spot.

My last wagon was a W900 limited edition, 2 beds , TV, DVD player, had a remote to the radio, fridge ,microwave, coffee pot . Only time I got out in bad weather, go to the little boys room, shower carried 14 uniform sets , plus regular clothes, 725 hp kitten, 18sp road ranger ,373 tears gears , carried plenty of food and hydration. Was sad to retired from medical reasons

[@edwardryan2200]

Idk why but it’s such a nice, calm, and peaceful thing to see the cold snow out there when you’re inside your warm n cozy truck.

The time stamps are freaking awesome. Great work man. It’s great to know you weren’t willing to gamble. I’m a fellow driver and got hit with snow storm middle of no where. So drive 40 MPH for 45 minutes to the nearest safe haven.

[@aps85]

Something I learnt during my first year of driving in snow and I would like to share it with you and all of my fellow truck drivers....... In snow try to wear safety vest or dark color clothes. Grey and white clothes blend in with snow. I’m sure a lot of you agree with me on that. Thanks to all and be safe on the road. Respect

[@pnkkv]

Omg thank you for stating the obvious 🙏 🙏

[@TheLongjohntim]

You need to keep enough food and water in your truck for at least three days in the event you get stuck for several days. I got stuck for four days once had to survive on what I had in my truck. Luckily I was prepared. And keep a thermal blanket with you. Drivers have run out of fuel and froze to death! Be safe!

[@janethartwig774]

You are so much fun to watch. I HATE extreme cold and snow, that’s why I live in central California. Love your honesty. Safe travels.

[@teresalynn8717]

Don't know how long you've been trucking, but avoid 80 and North in winter. Especially WY!

[@butteredtank9471]

You can’t avoid it, the 80 will find you no matter what

[@scratchoffwarriors5507]

Rewatching this. One of my favorite vlogs!!!

[@mattjasper6145]

as an adult I hate dealing with snow in terms of driving and getting things done, but man is it beautiful. isnt it funny almost every kid wishes for it all winter long? anyways, I think its really cool that you stop to enjoy the little things. Its funny to watch the madness of a snowstorm from some kinda shelter, with strong winds and heavy snow, it looks/feels like chaos. but then you step out into it, and its eerily quiet. kind of a weird thought but it always blows my mind. best of luck in the coffee biz

[@44R0Ndin]

You know the reason almost every kid wishes for snow all winter long, right? With enough snow they close the schools, and almost every kid likes having an unexpected day off of school. These days I still like when it snows, so long as it snows slow enough that they can keep the roads clear. A few years back around here in Binghamton, NY we got two and a half feet of snow over the course of around six hours, which shut everything down for the next two days. They declared a state of emergency for it IIRC, you should be able to look it up by that if you're interested.

[@rainandthangz]

I wonder if anyone else was vlogging the same thing while you were . You ever think about that lol ?. Or is it just me ! . Glad you stayed put!!!. 💯

Wow your vlog really took off! Last time I watched these videos they only had a couple thousand views each! That's awesome I am glad people are enjoying these vlogs as much as I did! Definitely got me to respect truckers more than I did before.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Just finished watching a few of your videos about shutting down in the blizzard. I thought it was funny when you got dressed to go inside. It looked like you put on about 20lbs. I was also very impressed to see a young driver like you actually shifting gears! You also seem very safety minded which is a good thing. As far as dressing for the weather, buy yourself a Carhartt brand coat and bibs and leave them in the truck. You won't need them in SoCal but you'll be glad they're around in situations like you went through in Nebraska. Drivers like me from the "snowbelt" rely on our Carhartt stuff to stay warm and dry. I always spray my Carhartts and my boots with Kiwi brand camp dry to waterproof them too. Be safe out there kid!

[@karenromanik9506]

I own a pair of quilted bibs. They are a prize possession. The whole world should own a pair. I have outside animals... they are a lifesaver.

[@RalphERo824]

You go west you will learn to carry insulated bibs and Carhart coat. Long underwear and sweat pants are good things to pack when going through the midwest. The months of September through April are excellent times to pack extra clothes and the afore mentioned items.

[@VasiliyAgiy]

I just can't fit anymore clothes into my travel bags! Good advice though thank you :)

Come drive in the Coquihalla in winter time, some of the snow in you're video's truckers up here just plow right thro it. *most times* You were smart staying put, a 16k pound load would have you slideing around like a fish out of water, I remember doing a run once, from Kamloops BC up to Calgary Alberta in 2016 and there were 6 avalanches in 2 days thro the pass, i was stuck in Sicamous BC for 4 days, there was a line up about 24km long of big trucks waiting to go thro the pass, no parking area for the truckers sleeping on the highway in the lanes was very intresting,Always good tho to do a walmart stop before going on a potential snowy day, to get food and other supplies, Portable toilets are very handy as well

[@sturmbok]

A good Sherpa lined long jacket and some cold gear under cloths / socks would be a good addition if you are going to be doing those runs on a regular basis. Heavy insulated boots might be in order also. I have been stuck on the 80 in Wyoming during a blizzard and I swear I thought I would freeze to death. Had my Ford Bronco idling and the heater full tilt but was still cold as a witches tit on the mountain pullout I was on. I thank God for the trucker that allowed me to rub his trailers bumper while he led me into the pull out spot. If it hadn't been for him I would have went off the side and died for sure.

The blizzard forced me to stop around Elk mountain, Wyoming, for it was too dangerous to continue. The end blizzard, during a run from Idaho to North Carolina, stopped me at Cyeyenne, Wyoming. interstates were closed and truck stops were full. Bright spot was my training. That kept me alive.
