this footage was taken in december of 2009 on 196 and I94 on the west coast of michigan.
a nasty storm dumped 2-3 feet of snow in a matter of just a few days. it was snowing so hard i couldn't see 50 feet in front of me and when someone passed i lost all visibilty for nearly 10 seconds at times.
I was carrying a load that was really heavy on the tandems and light on the drives,which in this kind of weather it is very easy to jackknife if you give too much throttle or to much brake.but with patience, and a positive mindset that i could make it,I rode out the storm.THAT"S TRUCK'N

I am from Pennsylvania and the Mountains across Pennsylvania are no joke in the rain, snow, flog and ice. I always take my good time mostly in Central Pennsylvania like State College, Johnstown and Erie areas. I drove thru other States with Mountains are same rule take your time and stay off the brakes. Driving around Northern Michigan is fun in the winter when the snow falling and your on the road alone... I love the Mountains

@loud2ns 14 лет назад

You just gotta love the lake effect!!! That was a bad storm, the local news had a hayday with it. keep the wheels on the road......

@Ladytrucker67 12 лет назад

Seen somewhere on here about the hardest part about truckin..well,I can describe that in 2 words..Weather & Idoits...& I been off the road retired for 5 years....I know its a lot worse now..back in the 70's when I started it was fantastic..but Merle said it write in the song..it takes a special breed....

Short video, but is a small taste of what truckers go through in America. It's a scary and heart pounding situation. I ran through i-70 in Colorado any real trucker knows how brutal that routes. Your heart will race when or if your truck gets loose especially at night. It takes brass balls to be a trucker

@AmericanTrucker4Life 14 лет назад

thats looks like some nasty weather to be truckin in especially there at the end when that truck just disappeared. thats some drivin there! Great Video!

@Danekind66 11 лет назад

Great video as always. I feel silly telling you this, but I just replied to a comment on one of your other videos. I could not believe my eyes. Was reading the comments below the video, another great video of yours, when I read the most nasty, ridiculous comment someone made. I told him what I thought of his comment. Anyway, I'm sure you don't get many comments to your videos like that. Ignore idiot comments. I love your videos . Use to drive OTR myself. God BlessYou ! Stay safe out there Bro.

@Ladytrucker67 12 лет назад

I have been here & done this..looks like the hood of the Petes I drove...I was out there 25 years & still leaned something every day...you done a great job here in this mess...sure is scarry for anyone who hits whiteout..just like runnin into a blanket of fog..never forget the one out on I-5 goin up north in Ca...I hit that so fast & couldn't even see that hood oranment...thats what really shakes ya up..I really miss my truckin days, but its not like that out there anymore..

Good old watervaleit,hartford, dewagiac, covert... Got to love the snow bealt...

@DSMluke 14 лет назад

Winters can be nasty. In this case, slow and steady does win the race. ;) Stay safe out there.

@ryosagerowen 11 лет назад

I remeber those days well. From Lower entral Michigan. Battle Creek. Those snow squalls kick your butt day or night.

@CATMUSCLE 14 лет назад

Damn Danny, that was some nail bighting driving, can't say it's something we will ever have to worry about over here....= (

@DizzyWhisper64 12 лет назад

I never knew what was worse. Driving through this kind of weather on snow covered mountains coming out of Utah. Tennessee fog, A good Texas rain storm, or hell Los Angeles traffic.

@Folkboat11 13 лет назад

@godblessasiangirls I know how you feel. I had the same problem back in the day. I finally found a job as a swamper with a company that ran winch and hi-up trucks. Thats when the learning and experiance came. I got the driving experiance when the drivers thought it was a good time to let me drive. I learned tonnes from watching them. I always thought about them when I bought my truck and drove for many years after. The learning never stops.

@mogges1 11 лет назад

MAN I don't miss this part of trucking. been there and done it

@Leismu04 11 лет назад

that looks like a normal work day for me here in Finland

@macuser907 12 лет назад

Normal winter day up here in Alaska. At least we don't have to deal with the traffic volume that you guys in the lower 48 have which I imagine makes it that much harder.

@NVOLEON 14 лет назад

That is some crazy weather, awesome video 5*

@travelingman484 10 лет назад

After 28 years it still amazes me on a two lane highway those guys passing you. I guess their highway hero's or fools.

@Cubanguy1977 8 лет назад

damn danny!!! you see them super truckers and 4 wheel idiots passing you! don't know a safe speed if there life depended on it! oh wait it does! good driving boss

@123jozef 9 лет назад

Nothin like that distorted supertrucker talk-balk speaker.... lol

@ToniMattTony 7 лет назад

Wow that had to be scary.

@hipcatwho 10 лет назад

Man it was tuff out there 2-3 feet of snow couldn't see over 50 feet cars passing saw a old guy on a lark passing I lost visibility for 10 seconds. I know the video doesn't show that but well there was a half inch when I went though. It was tuff. Makes you wonder what the Truckers back 40 or 50 years ago did?

@wendell707 10 лет назад

we just kept on truckin 1966 to 1980

@biggiedickson 12 лет назад

@101southsideboy 10 лет назад

@CanadianCarHauler 12 лет назад

Aint no load of freight worth goin in the rhubarb for, or wreckin for, no matter what it is. Slow and steady works well, but so does parkin it and waiting. We all are different, and have different tolerance levels for sure, but one thing in common. There is a limit as to when it's time to stop and wait it out.

@SuperSammy1977 9 лет назад

I don't know how you guys do it. This is the worst stretch of driving I've ever experienced in my life! I go up this way all the time in the winter going snowmobiling. I'm always scared shitless...lol

@gotrdid09 14 лет назад

great driving man may i ask why your headlights are so dim at night.

@abseconPC 4 года назад

I personally would shut down in those weather conditions it is your right as a truck driver not to move that truck if you do not feel safe

@DisneyAdulting 14 лет назад

My bet on why his lights arent very bright is because it is snowing so hard they don't look as bright. I live in Michigan lol.

@crosscountryvideos 13 лет назад

@BCSMike right on michael.the day you think you've learned it all or know it all,is the day you become over confident and a danger to yourself and those around you.you should always be alert for anything to happen.heck i've been truckin goin on 17 years and i'm still learnin and still get nervous sometimes on certain mountains and such.may you have many years ahead of ya michael,Happy trails

@hipcatwho 10 лет назад

Years ago I would hear how's the hill Then I would hear there version of the weather 3 or 4 hundred miles ago. One time I was going to Canada up through British Columbia then Alberta. I heard a voice going south don't you want know the hill is then the north bounder said why? I have to go over it any way. That summed it all up on Trucking in the past.

@caseylendved7507 10 лет назад

I find that, other drivers around me notwithstanding, I have relatively few issues driving in this weather as long as I'm patient. I'd rather be late than not get there at all.

@calitrucker1 14 лет назад

thats some white knuckle shit rite there. i prolly woulda said screw it, this load aint that important. drive safe Danny.

@jerrykinnin7941 4 года назад

I've run. Fargo to Denver out to Buffalo Boston. Us 20 out of Dubuque IA into ill. the old 2 lane that's fun. Green Bay to Eu Claire fun as well.

@Nighthawk_r33 13 лет назад

@BCSMike I wish I was already on the road but I can't find a single company who will give me a shot a driving. I just got my CDL in december and I have no experience.

@static_Tricolor_camry 8 лет назад

When I start driving a Semi truck and the weather is bad like this I'm either going to pull over to the shoulder or just do 40-50 on the highway driving these big trucks require more cation and attention around cars on the road

@brettduffy1992 3 года назад

You have every right to shut down in bad weather

@AngeliqueEU 13 лет назад

We may not drive in such conditions cause we drive ADR/HAZMAT UN1203. The Netherlands has a law we may not drive when there is snow on the road. IF you do you risk a fine of over 1200 euro´s ..... Last year we stood still for nearly 3 days .... and I hated it .. rather be on the road working. But the high fine keeps you from going off the yard. never had any problems when I drove none-hazmat just keep you brain working and know what you are doing.

nice music bro, it's from the mmorpg Runes of Magic :)

@DizzyWhisper64 12 лет назад

Damn good video, nothing like a big Pete to get you through that mess. Dive me a freight shaker, classic. Strong as bull and got me through those I-80, I-90 storms. Like the music, gets me psych up when rolling, got to love you bitch good when your driving her, or she'll kill you in those mountain passes. Keep on trucking.

@ajaaniajaa 12 лет назад

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE DRIVING TOO FAST FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS? SHOULD YOU PERFORM A "HARD BRAKE TEST" TO CHECK HOW SLIPPERY IT IS AT A LOW SPEED BEFORE YOU DECIDE HOW FAST TO TRAVEL? ANY TECHNIQUES? DON'T HAVE MUCH HIWAY EXPERIENCE

@resinator747 10 лет назад

where them dam plows at?

@HoganMo 14 лет назад

I bet after having to stay completely focused on the driving you felt like you'd been shot at and missed, and $*&T at and hit! Stay safe driver.

@JestRCat 12 лет назад

Make sure to drain those air tanks... I'm just sayin'

@supertruckerrolling 10 лет назад

I drive in Michigan a great deal coming across I-94 I know all to well what you go through there namely cause they don't plow worth a shit. Many times from Sawyer to Battle Creek its shit.

@ramongonzalez3778 10 лет назад

Don that . I miss it

@JenniferWhitlow 11 лет назад

You don't get paid enough. Period.

@helloworld-tl8rt 5 лет назад

What is the best speed I need to know never drove in snow not a rookie but rookie in snow

@jeffsmith6825 5 лет назад

drive as slow or fast as you need to while being safe. If you are loaded you can move along faster, if empty and pulling train with 13 axles as I do; well then be smart and play it safe. You will get the feel of it just don't push it and end up a 0 instead of a hero. Pushing to hard will not end well. After you get experience you will be the guy passing the others knowing you are doing so safe! Happy trucking.

@KENWORTH8470 14 лет назад

yeah bad whather i say!!

@Nighthawk_r33 13 лет назад

@Folkboat11 The only things I know are things I have already learned. But I don't know everything and I probably will never learn everything. I can only learn as much as I can until the day I die. I'm still keeping my head up and I'm sure someone will give me a shot, it's just a matter of when. All I want is to live out on the road and make money as an owner operator someday. Since I'm single, never married, and no kids.

@matthewk2780 11 лет назад

If you are NOT sure how fast to drive in poor to hazardous road conditions, then you shouldn't be driving by yourself in the first place. Secondly, only drive as fast as you are comfortable with driving. NEVER perform a "hard Brake Test" anywhere on unsafe road conditions, that's the fastest way to make you rig jacknife. If you are not comfortable driving in thw winter time when the roads can and usually are in bad condition, then DON'T drive O.T.R during the winter and stay at home.
