A Snow Storm In Pennsylvania ❄️  

You sure are good at backing up. I followed a semi one time 85 miles from one town to the next on icy roads & he went 35 mph the whole way. At one point a car passed us & when we went around the curve, that car was in the ditch. When the truck driver stopped for gas I got out & handed him a $20 bill & told him dinner was on me for him getting me safely to where I needed to go.

I was a long haul trucker for 36 years remember chaining up at least 2,000 times going over the Rocky Mountains and the northwestern states I drove through white out conditions several times and never was ever in an accident.... Over 5 million miles I think that's a good record and never was late for a delivery or pick up that was my fault...

Spent many of winters on that highway, also been held up from wrecks. I would never run without a CB, best way to know what's going on miles away. Been retired 4 years, don't miss it. Stay safe.

I'm glad I can help! your on the right track. Over 32 yrs of semi and 10 yrs straight truck driving I've seen It never pays to get in a hurry in adverse weather! Keep up the good work!

Good job DRIVER an thank you for sharing .An thank you for all your delivery,s .please be safe out .❤n prayers for all your journey,s .

love seeing videos from truckers that I book loads for. Stay safe and keep on trucking.

Hey man, if you run with the sun visors down when using the defrosters they will help redirect the hot air back to the windshield. It works for me in my Pete 589. Be safe driver!

Wow dude how stressful driving in the snow like that for 20-30 hours. Can't even imagine. My concentration would fail ... Kudos to you! I will never look at the paper towel at Walmart in the same way again. Truckers really are the lifeblood of the commercial world. The unseen heros.

You’ve got this!!!

You are doing great, stay the course and stay safe.

Been trucking 25yrs and I've seen a butt-load of bad weather. I now haul in the Southwest and I don't miss throwing chains or dodging tornadoes 😁

Congrats and all the best for today.

Yes de icer windshield washer fluid always works great.

Awesome drive 🚗 👏 right to the end 😅

Hello from Bulgaria(EU). Massive thanks to truck drivers all of the world. Your job is very hard and dangerous.

Put heat on floor. Heat on windshield melts snow which freezes / melts on windshield. If windshield is cool snow will blow right off

Thanks for a great video. I enjoyed your video more than I have other "truckimg" videos. Keep up the good work.

Great video! Keep it up!

Enjoyed your video dude. )))

Be glad you weren't down near Bedford, Pa that day. I was....they predicted 1-3" and ended up with little over 6". Was a mess lol

Very good backing skills😁🛫

Wow! Are you sure you're a rookie? That was an excellent display of backing skills at the shipper in the beginning part of your video.

Just drive what your comfortable with, and your right on light on the breaks! once you hit the breaks hard it's over , if you break traction let of the accelerator to straighten up always pump your breaks to or slow down or to stop in snow. Never HARD BREAK IN ADVERSE WEATHER! GOOD JOB! of driving

Somehow I just adore this truck driver! I appreciate them all I give them all the space they need. I want my beer to get to the store!!! Lol

I’ve always been told to keep the heat OFF the windshield when it’s snowing. Keeps it from icing up longer.

Just found your channel it's fantastic you stay safe on the roads keep warm 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲

Enjoyed your video dude. Took my licence in 1982, ran my own trucks in the eighties run my business till 2002, packed up and i now move cars round in the uk. Stay safe, drive carefully through the winter dude.😁👍🇬🇧

dbl clutch Ron, I've. not seen anything from you for a while--heard swift is closing down. i hope you are ok. take care continue driving safely. 6-2-24

Glad you had a safe trip. Get lots of rest.

Great parking skills 👌

We're enjoying the video but wish you would put the GOPRO down on your dash instead of your hat or head. We'd love to see more open vision of the road instead of the visor and roof of the truck. 😊

Tip from a guy that lives and drives around Williamsport, Pa, when roads are slick, heading west on 80, if you take 180 W to 220 S to 80 W....it is flat and avoids the mountain between 15 and Loganton. Drops you just east of Lamar.

Alcohol fluid be good for keeping your windshield clear I used that when I was driving trucks in England when it got cold I hope it helps you safe driving fella 🇬🇧🇺🇲👍

Be safe driver !!!! TrailerJack💪

I put a half a bottle of isopropyl alcohol in washer tank in my personal vehicles to make it better. The alcohol is what melts ice. The higher the percentage the more powerful it is. I definitely dilute it in rainex washer fluid so it is not harmful to paint. It seems to work better and clean better and it smells good. Plus it is a antifreeze for washer fluid

Be safe and good luck.

I am watching from Manchester Michigan, I just subscribed this is cool I’ll watch for more Drive safe

They have experience driving those trucks in the snow

We need more truck drivers like you that drive safe

Thanks for the great video! I’d totally love to switch jobs with you for a couple of weeks. 🙂 As for the ice: I once crossed a Norwegian mountain pass in a winter storm - back and forth on the same day. By car. We were made to do the drive in a convoys following a snow plow. They gave us an instruction leaflet too. One of the things it said was to turn the window air vent to cold. On the first pass, I dismissed it as a translation issue and immediately had the snow melt on my warm windshield and froze right after. On the way back I put on all my warm gear and turned the window vent to hi+cold. No issue with ice whatsoever, the snow just blew right past. Not sure if I could drive like that for several hours though. Maybe if you have heated seats?

Nice job thanks for letting me ride along may god be with you thanks 😊

Cleaning yah blades too

Thanks for the stream I love to watch the truckers stream

I usually put some Antifreeze in my windshield washer fluid and mix it in

Prestone Windshield De-icer! It’s yellow fluid and a little pricey but the best!

Good luck stay safe

Wow you are the first truck driver I watch i on here that’s been in my area pretty cool. It strange watching you drive on roads that i know 😂😂

Congrats driver we need more like you out there on the road maybe less traffic deaths don't ever loose your cautious attitude and keep the rubber on the road unlike swift and crst.

Awesome Video! Continue the good work!

Good Job My Friend, enjoyed riding with you through the video 👍🏻

I would turn the bunk heater on, open the curtains, and keep direct heat off of the windshield. That seemed to cut down on the wipers freezing up on my old International...

I'm watching this video on June th. 2024. It's 86° 🥵 so I'm watching snow storm videos! 😁

Thanks for sharing your trips and deliveries with us. I drove trucks for almost ten years, mostly east of the Mississippi. If I were single I would have had a longer career. I like your attitude regarding winter driving. I saw many a drivers lose their rigs during snowstorms on I-80 and I-40 due to excessive speed on icy roads. Safe travels.

You can plug a hair dryer in and defrost windshield from the inside of the truck if it gets really bad. Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)

I started driving in 1977 and stopped in 2007 because I broke my back. After a couple surgeries and some healing I’m looking to get back out there. You have a good head on your shoulders. Be careful and learn as you go. I’m from Idaho, so I was more comfortable than drivers from the south. In 20 years I never was put out of service, never had a speeding ticket and never had an accident. You can do that as well. I can’t see your wiper blades, but they look like summer blades. Get winter blades. Also, practice while parked, reach out and pop the blade when it’s at the end. That will knock the ice off the blade. Please don’t take this wrong. Be careful giving “advice”. You can talk about what you’ve learned and experienced. But until you have at the least 1/2 million miles, you are learning. When I hit my first million, I felt I really could give advice and able to train drivers. I will always be learning and so will you. Wyoming is the worst state to drive through, bar none. Be careful out there, that’s an order, not a request.

Such a nice country! be safe as always po

Safe Travels 👍🏻

I live at the highest point on I-80 east of the Mississippi, we get snow when no one else does

Okay, gotcha. Most importantly, as long as you get there safely is the goal. Be safe out there.

By doing work on off duty or sleeper birth you are going to exhaust yourself, get into an accident and your company will not back you up. Don’t give them the hours because once you do that for them they will expect it next time and then when you are low on hours and cannot roll you cannot use that because you’ve done it for them. The logbook rules are there to protect you against companies that overwork their drivers

Put the heat down on the floor and crack your window a little bit. I used to drive a snow plow and that’s what we all did to keep our windshields from icing up.

You Drive at the speed you feel safe at .

Two things on the windshield / wipers icing. Those wipers suck, get some beam wipers like Bosch that are one smooth piece. Second, get the purple windshield washer fluid. It’s good down to -30. When you’re in 25 degree temps, and driving 40 the wind chill doesn’t directly make your windshield colder feeling ( like windchill on your skin ) it does however remove heat much quicker and the defrosters can’t keep up. The lower temp ( purple ) washer fluid will help. Another wat to help is to RainX, Rain Clear or Cherakote glass treat your windows. The ice won’t stick to the Cherakote glass treatment. You seem like a professional driver and conscientious of others on the road. Thanks.

Good job Bro’ my first time watching ‘ ….. YOU SAID IT SAFTEY FIRST BUT, REALLY ITS ALWAYS GOD🙏FIRST ’ THEN SAFETY 😥😂👍🇺🇸.

Try putting your sun visors down all most to the windshield. It keeps the heat towards the windshield

Flip the visor down helps to push the air back to keep to windshield

Yeah, I agree. Put your go pro down on your dash. Can’t see a whole lot. Betty from Pa.

Iam from New Jersey and live in Texas now and my parents are still in Pennsylvania we’re are going in your truck and trailer

Good job bud..Your being safe instead of being sorry...

hey RunningOTR. seems like you've got a good head on your shoulders--at times i did the same thing thinking acouple mph less would work, and at times it will , other times take 5 or more mph off and you'd be even safer. the trouble is you need to make those dock times..what to do--be safe is #1 save your life and those around you on the road. I liked when you said you'd slow down more keeping a safe distance from truckers ahead of you. It doesn't take much in winter to get into trouble quickly. I also like that you're talking as you drive, that helps to keep you awake. I at times even rolled down windows and put the radio volume up higher than normal . eat well stay healthy sleep when allowed for as long as you can. i don't like watching truckers that don't say a thing any time of the year--boring-- even when the scenery is good. i hope you achieve your goals in trucking, beeee safe ! Ron. i like the first time johnny in the dock great job !

May be if you put your wipers not running constantly instead in putting them on one of the intermittent control it may help or your truck heater is not projecting enough warmth on your front windshield.

Really liked your video because i live in Williamsport Pa. and have been to that T&A truck stop many times.

How about a picture o& the full truck….thanks,

Kepppsafe always

You might consider getting a window mount for your go Pro.

What you need its a cb especially in the winter

Great content,,only need to adjust the height for better views.

Ron dbl clutch again, clear all snow from lights etc while getting fuel, be careful braking, prevent slides don't hit the pumps. this is my first time on this. channel hope you have a safe trip(s) how about putting chains on ?

Put your sunvisor down and it will circulate the heat back across the windshield. I drive a truck for 27 years

Put your visors down and it will spread the heat to the sides of the windshield and melt the frozen areas

#1 Make no sudden movements

Nice video! What weather app are you using?

Man I drove through the hills of West Virginia last night, sketchy sketchy

Winter wiper blades would help with the ice.

Awesome video, I just have a suggestion if possible: if your gopro is on your head, any chance to lower it a bit more? we can see a lot of the roof and not the view you're having up the road.

You passed my house! Near where you picked up!

What app do you use to keep log of your drive time and stops etc it looks like it would help a lot

See you are driving a new truck. The other one was white. I see you are a different company then prime

Way to go in the snow you know, Driver...Good Video...Comonnnnnn.

First Time viewer. I want to watch the rest of the video, bus from your camera angle inside a cab, I can see the front of the truck and for ground to the road, but I can't see very. I prefer the channel, "Riding Shotgun".

Out of curiosity, what town is that gas station in the beginning in? The area looks a LOT like this area my navigation weirdly directed me down when I was going to Philadelphia in my car. Pretty sure I filled up there.

Godblesyou from Idaho ok

You was in lycoming county pa , 405 in muncy pa

Ron dbl clutch--try defrosters--i drove 32 yrs and 3.4 million miles, be safe slow down now retired

Very smart. Take your time.

And they be driving 80mph.......thats crazy

All you need is a bundle of tea pack candles get at the dollar store couple tin pie plates an a lighter that's enough in a confined space to create above zero heat I am from Canada an have had to use them am they work

I remember this truck stop is it on the route that links i80 and i81%?

If running in heavy snow, keep the heat off the windshield, In fact, keep the cab somewhat cool. The heat is what causes the snow to melt, freeze, and accumulate on the windshield, beyond what the wipers can handle. I know you had a tip of keeping visors down to redirect more heat on windshield. I have to disagree! But I never had a Pete! Maybe it works for him? A “Pete” might be the only truck I never had since 1985. Ok, so this is an edit after watching more. I see the accumulation on you wipers. This is caused by the heat you’re blowing on the windshield. NEVER use your jake on these conditions! You can jackknife b4 you know what hit you!

Be very careful if you will drive in the storm. However like you were saying you were not in rush. So If you have to stop because of the road conditions your life his more important than that load.
