GOT CAUGHT IN AN ICE STORM ON THE HIGHWAYS! Pennsylvania Trucking Trip Part 2 

Pa notorious for short ramps and 15 mph ,nice to see a trucker still being smart and having a map

Just puttin this on now after a long day. I know it’s gonna beat any kind a T.V. Nuthin like a real trucking video to relax . Thanks Matt !

I'm retired over 40 yrs in the trucking/truck business and now a veteran RU-vid follower. Started riding with you on part 1 yesterday and enjoyed the commentary and love the headcam view...felt right at home. I also looked and liked some of your older videos. Your story of how you started is very similar to my own. My grandfather was CFO of a major corporation and my father owned a successful plastic mfg. business. I'd be lying if I said that I made $1 playing in bands but did that starting in 6th grade until I became a parent at 28. I have a picture of the first St. George bass that I had and oh how I wish that I had the 1966 Fender Jazzmaster I owned. I always had the desire to see the country and during and out of high school I had a job driving a delivery van for a printing co where I noticed and fell in love with the big trucks...so did my girlfriend. My dad said that he would lay down in front of any truck I got in before the wheel turned. I didn't know anybody in the trucking business and I didn't look like a driver so it was very hard for me to get started. Anyway, I motored on and will skip through my career for now. My apologies for all the I's in this comment just wanted to share the similarities. I'm 68 years old and we got the same haircut. It won't turn gray and won't stop growing so why cut it, right. You have a new subscriber. I'll be making much shorter comments hopefully for comedic value only. Not going to try and tell you what to do...you seem to be doing a fine job. Motor safely...keep on Tube'n. God be with you.

Favorite trucking vids on the you tube! Keep them up my man! Enjoyable ride alongside.

Loving these long videos, keep em coming.

When I research my route and find an alternate route like you did, I add that town as an "add stop" way point on Google maps to keep it on the right path. Works well. Just delete the way point just before town. It'll take your path up to the next stop.

The mountains of pa can change right quick in winter. We had 210,000 lbs coil units that were stuck for a few days trying to get off gas drilling sites and denied permits for weather stay safe brother

Keep rolling north

Love all the movies you're uploading!

Another great vid man! You should add some walkaround video of the truck before you start.

just love youre videos u make driving these long things so easy

37:27 brings me nice Iron Maiden vibes 🤟 oh and truck sounds great too 😁

I really enjoy your videos by the way!

Love the rap of your pipes at 1600 rpm on that 3406 engine! Music to my ears! By the way, where are your heated mirrors? It looks like they got the wires going to them...

Truck sounds so good in the tunnel lol

Isn't PA interesting? You never know how the weather will be one hour to the next. I've lived here better than 30 years, I love it. I drove trucks through it as well, no big deal.

good find on the map book for sure, For sure the people's sounding going through the tunnel , 79,900 good load , keeps you on the ground , my 18 speed I do not use and split all gears either , engine sounds good, I guess no shaking ????? Definitely ice , be safe take care yourselve MATT

That Rutters has great food and an awesome view of thr mountains. 322 through duncannon is by far my favourite route I take regularly.

Love your videos

I think you should move to Alaska so you can be one of those 'Ice Road Truckers'

You probably cracked the walls with your loud truck 😁

Those tunnels in pa are some of my favorites

I think the tunnel collapsed behind you 🤣

Doo diii Doo diii Doo diii prprprpr😂😂😂😂 (55min)

Yeah Pa roads suck. When you were in Ligonier you were 20 minutes from my place. Jioios has pretty good pizza with a sweet sauce. Good job and glad you made it safe.

Just a suggestion, I think a lot of people would love it if you kept you're go pro on when you're doing stuff outside the truck, myself included. The interior is nice but I wanna see you're sweet truck from the outside as well.

That’s the way to go. 30 is legal all the way across but lots of hills and mandatory brake checks and 20 mile per hour down grade speed limits so the way you’re going is the earliest 😉

You should get like ambient lights for the inside the cab

30 is a truck route until you get to breezewood

I think you can make waypoints on google maps so you can make youre own sorta route

No danger in jaking in the rain

Doesn’t hurt to Jake if you’re loaded ecept on black ice then just use low Jake

Is that an 18 speed? That looks difficult to drive. I've only ever driven a 10. PA511 is your friend. You'll be able to see lane restrictions, cameras, and commercial vehicle bans. Also if your ever traveling up 79 exit 116A to i80 exit 29 the Kwik fill has plenty of parking.

hey man how are hope all is well for ya on the road

You don’t want want to run 30 west of breezewood unless absolutely necessary. All hills mandatory brake checks and traffic lights

In my neck of the woods now. I'm in Latrobe.

Hey bud, you mentioned that you’re going to be lazy and take an easy parking spot. Take a more difficult spot, challenge yourself and you’ll get better and have more confidence. If you see a guy is backing up, he’s blinded by other trucks lights in his eyes and it’s dark and you know his mirrors are covered in rain get out and spot for him, help him out. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have if you can’t see then you can’t see. Help others and hopefully they’ll help you out. Buy the way I’m a retired heavy equipment operator but I was once the new guy and guys teased me but they also gave me advice and helped me out and I did the same for younger guys new to the industry. Help out your fellow man. Regardless of whether people help you, don’t be like them, be like you. Keep challenging yourself and before long you’ll be out giving other guys a hand and offering friendly advice. Nobody likes the hard azz guys, don’t be one of them. Peace out and safe travels.

Latrobe, the home of Arnie Palmer you must of heard shouting no don't get off at Bedford its too far east of Latrobe

You don’t hear very much on the CB radio in the states

I live in pa and they don't care of their roads. They are reactive definitely not proactive. Be careful in PA brother.

I have been thinking alot about the occasional bucking and white smoke.As a retired cat tech,have you ever had a dealer tech do a ride along with ET hooked up and set to take a snapshot if she acts up ?

Here, in the states surrounding that commonwealth, we call it "Pennsyltucky..."

Hey went right by my house Exit 110 Pa. Turnpike if I knew you was coming by I would have paid for your breakfast !!! 🤠

Cant they do a googlemap for truckpeople, and with weigt and lengthrestrictions ? Should be a very good option for you and other truckers.

Always hated that road

Funny how when I watch a cop chase it looks like they barely move but you look like you are flying at low altitude

What kind of gauge is that hanging off of the driver’s mirror

What are Canadians doing hauling loads in the us?

Trucks coming the other way mash on it

Road spray no ice

Do you deliveries pay better in the USA then Canada

Stupid question but why not get a truck GPS

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

You left out of the pilot in Duncannon right?

Lets not kid, the only P town anyone needs to worry about is Petrolia ahha

What’s your Pete’s gear ratio

I'm sad I did not get to see your face one time it is episode

🖐️👏👍🥰

Damn I enjoy this. There's no possibility to make a trip to like Alaska during summer or so? You can make it into like a 10 parts. A series sort off.

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👊👊👊👍👍🙋‍♂️😎😎😎💯

If you dont like your gps talking dont set a address AMD IT WONT TALKI TO YOU i sick of hearing people tell there gps's to shut up
