Trucking at Night in the Rockies With a Light Trailer During a Snow Storm!!.. First Snow Trip!!

Filmed October 27th 2019

[@beckyshock3099]

I used to ride with my late husband, he drove a log truck. One winter he was hauling from a place that had terrible ups, and downs, and i even bought salt in 50 lb bags, and would drive the way he would go, throw down some salt in the ify places he would need the extra traction. That was fun! I was with him in the mud and everything....I loved it and him, and i really miss him, that's why I like to watch these videos...... good luck to you and keep the rubber side down!

@Joshua Moore just a ?, I don't drive, my husband does, but what's the diff between him driving w/no trailor & a passenger vehicle driving on the same roads? Is it because your higher off the ground?

[@wakichunu]

@@rswife777 less weight on the back the easier it is to slide. A pv would probably be awd or front wd which means most if not all the power is coming from the front of the vehicle. A 2wd thats light in the back would also easily fish tail as well.

[@grams5025]

Grams loves our truckers. In the 70’s, the truckers went on strike because of gas prices. We joined a convoy to support them, driving from I40 and I35 south to the Texas boarder. Bought dinner for a trucker during a stop. Was such a good experience. Years later, after putting my husband on a plane to Korea to serve at the DMZ, a flood happened and my small children and I were stranded because the bridge was out. Stopped at a motel and there were no rooms. A trucker gave up his room and slept in his cab. It was the sweetest thing. Ie said a prayer for truckers every night since. That was 30years ago and I still say prayers for all truckers. Enjoyed your video and will keep you in my prayers!

[@elizabethkennedy237]

I like hearing you talking about your trip. Your speed, what you're doing. The hazards you are aware of that most people on the road don't realize or consider. You have a great voice and you are articulate. I love road trips. I once went from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. To Halifax, Nova Scotia and back. I was given the opportunity to drive the semi. I loved it. But there weren't many female drivers on the road. That was July 1974. Learned a lot about rush hour traffic being a royal pain. But loved the scenery. The best part of watching your video is listening to you. It's almost as awesome as being there. You're an awesome driver. But I'm guessing most seasoned truck drivers are great drivers from experience, many hours on the road and just earning a living. My Dad taught me to drive on a stick. One of the reasons I love a standard. You have more control. If you feel it slip you just drop a gear or two. Try having some mints on you so your throat doesn't get dry from talking and the heat in the cab.if you have a hot drink or water, that helps too. But not too much or you'll be stopping for pee breaks. It's easier for men then women. I learned that on my trip. That and there were no shower's in the women's bathroom's anywhere. I'm very impressed with your driving. I'm betting this ride would be beautiful in the summer. My favorite time is in the fall when all the leaves are turning or have turned. Personally I love driving in all types of weather. I love lightening. That would likely be the only time, I'd stop. Just to watch the lightening. Love the thunder too. My name is Liz. Be well, keep safe and may God Bless you and all of your loved ones. Hope to see and hear more of your video's. If you ever feel like talking. My email is [e-mail]
