Winter Trucking Hazards: How I Ended Up With A Black Eye

The previous night Donner Pass was closed to all truck traffic. So I found a nice place to sleep in one of the PetSmart store docks for the night. (with permission from the store of course). I woke up nice and early grabbed some Starbucks and watched closely the Cal DOT site for updates. At about 5:30AM PT they opened the pass to trucks with the stipulation that you had to follow max chain law.
Knowing this info I changed my clothes and prepared to roll on the ground in the slushy snow and chain my truck appropriately. I also had the foresight to set out a change of clothes because I knew I was going to be super wet and would need them.
Before I even started chaining my truck, my day was going to drastically change. Trucking is not always pretty, and it's definitely not always comfortable and safe, but we can do what we can to make things a little less hazardous. Learning my lesson the hard way.
Please be safe. I wish you all a safe trip.
- Shelby :)

Nothing embarrassing about taking a hit working a rig. Your literally killing it as a young woman in a mens industry. God speed and keep up the positive videos. My dad was a driver for 30yrs. And ive been working towards it myself.

@janebeuten6071 Год назад

Oh my Shelby! That is one nasty bump 😮 Always get a head injury checked out. As someone who has multiple concussions, I can tell you that symptoms don’t always appear right away. You may think you’re fine initially, but you never want to take any chances. You have a dangerous job and you are in the truck alone. Please see a doctor to be sure you are okay! Prayers for a quick recovery! ❤🙏🏻

@anitaquick3756 Год назад

I hope you see a specialist like a neurologist and ent. Be well.

@marksimmons4335 Год назад

I agree.. Next time take it slow. And if you see an emergency professional, stop and have the ent come out and check you out. Nothing wrong with bieng modest. It could save your life.

@whoismorenoz7111 Год назад

Yeah one time I hit my head and I didn’t get it checked out and I was dizzy for like 2 weeks it was horrible

@femaleprofessionaldriver7650 Год назад

Yeah, I’m thinking concussion, bless her heart.

@diannelawson5005 Год назад

I am now 68 years old and retired from trucking in 2005. Did a similar thing chaining and was also over Donna except I hit my jawline and actually broke it and was wired shut for 6 weeks. Your throwing chains is impressive. Take care of yourself and feel better.

@RiverRatWA57 Год назад

A few years behind you, had an ocular stroke in May of '21, my OTR and chaining days are OVER.

@juliogonzo2718 Год назад

I ducked a bear trap that slipped out of my hand and facked my sciatic for like 11 mos. I should have let it hit me in the face.

@kevincreary9446 Год назад

Oh I’m so sorry that happened to you. I not sure what you hit your head on but you should have went to the ER. Head Trauma is nothing to take lightly. I’m glad you your doing well. I had significant head injuries in the past ( not from trucking) so I know how bad things can get. Don’t feel shame we are glad you’re still here.

@jakeupnorth21 Год назад

I’m a state plow driver, we appreciate smart and safe truckers like you! Sorry about your injury, keep driving forward 💪🏼 Beautiful voice, makes your videos even better.

@uhnari1994 Год назад

I am a female tanker yanker…and I just want to say your a bad ass! I refuse to go over I-80 during the winter because I don’t want to chain or deal with surge in those conditions. Your like super woman lol. And your the first woman trucker that’s actually trucking that I’ve watched on RU-vid…keep on trucking…your awesome..🚛💨☺️☺️

@ShelbyHBTM Год назад

Awww thank you ☺️

I will say it Donner Pass sucks especially when it’s snowing. Seen so much crazy crap on I80 before I moved from Reno in 2016.

Why did you do that.. beating up the trailer with your face isnt a good idea sweetness..❤I worked out of Sacramento for 4yrs... very pretty.. i remember snow ball fight on the freeway when it shut down going over that one night.. Snow higher than the sidemirrors on each side..

@yankeegrey2810 Год назад

Your perseverance and positivity through difficult situations is always inspiring. You are amazing Shelby, safe travels. 🤗

@wildbill5126 Год назад

Shelby, You can at times (thru the years that I've kind a know you threw YT) be hard on yourself, even in the beginning of this video Dakota was trying to calm you down (yes I know Dakota is a give me attention seeker, but our 4 legged family members know when need Love) You are an amazing person with so much positivity that you try at times too hard on yourself. You should NOT be embarrassed, 1 of your many goals for even having your YT channel was to educate the younger folks and maybe some older 1's, so this is was a teaching moment, and although you got a George Forman shiner, you still look amazing. You and your 4 legged co-driver truckem up safe and as always Keep the rubber side down.

How’s your head?

@Bendigo1 Год назад

Really glad you are ok. That was a NASTY bump. I have been made fun of for it, but I started wearing a hard hat (a bump cap would probably be better) when I was working around and under the truck for that exact reason. I am a lot taller than you are too so I tend to hit the underside of the trailer a lot more when messing with chains. It has saved my head multiple times. As for the getting those chains tight. Unless you have the hook tool that grabs the hook and pulls it through, it is almost impossible to get them as tight as you want them to be on all the wheels. But one way to get them a bit tighter is to go one hook more or less on the inside and yank like crazy to get a little more to play with on the outside. And a major issue with that type of chain is that even a little bit more wear on one tire than the others means you may not be able to get the same link as on the other tires. Your drive tires wear un evenly because of the scrubbing when you are turning and the different weight distribution between the front and rear drive axles. Unless they are brand new tires, usually the front axle will have a slightly larger tire circumfrence and can make the chains have a difference of anywhere between 1 and 3 links.

Oh my, Shelby, I'm so sorry you injured yourself. From the looks of that shiner 4 days later, I'm sure it hurt like the dickens. Just make sure there are no lasting effects, like a concussion. I know I don't comment a lot, but I really do enjoy your videos, and I appreciate all the time and effort you spend in potting them together and posting them. Thank you, Shelby, take care, and please be careful and stay safe.

So sorry you got injured! That’s the thing…on your own…you had to pull yourself together to keep going. And you did…and down snowy Donner Pass on top of it. Very impressive. You have GRIT!!!

So happy you are doing better! It was scary to see the bump on your head getting bigger as your video continued. Big hugs to you!

@the_truck_farmer Год назад

You're one badass chica driving those conditions/ chaining like that! Not easy for anyone. It's refreshing to see an ambitious and capable young lady with serious grit in this day and age. Our country needs lots more ladies (and guys for that matter) like you as we head into tougher economic times. Prayers for healing coming your way.

@swagalishes3457 Год назад

Dont feel bad Shelby, most people would've quit and gone to the hospital. You should be proud, your positive attitude and spirit while obivusly in pain is admireble! Keep trucking, and remember; this too will pass.

@firefighterpk2440 Год назад

Being an old timer ( 36 years out here), it's fun watching a young gal like you busting it as hard as we did back in the day ( well we hit it a little harder running 3 or 4 log books) 😁, but you're doing a great job. A young ranch gal I worked with in the Wyoming gas fields would throw 3 railer chains better than most of the guys, and she wouldn't accept help from anybody. Be safe young lady.

@noahater5785 Год назад

And I’m not sure if this fully counts as a head injury, but I’ve been there done that with hydrocephalus and grade 3 brain hemorrhaging and thankfully lived to tell the tale.

@Cammi-Cat-XIII Год назад

That looks very painful! Glad you’re ok. My first time chaining up in Oregon I broke my finger. The pain just made everything more frustrating when I made mistakes of putting my chains on inside out and backwards. They were those crappy cable chains from my company. After I got them all on right, I checked the current chain up order…and they ended it! So I took my chains back off and drove through Deadman Pass. I didn’t realize at the time that I had a hairline fracture in my finger, but it hurt for 2 months!

@Christopher-li6gg Год назад

You are an inspiration, too, everyone who keeps up with your channel!! You definitely show strong motivation in all the challenges you take on, very impressive as always! Hope you got your head checked out. Things like that can get bad very quickly, but great work and take it easy! Just got back into trucking myself. Every day is a challenge, and sometimes, one day is harder than the rest, but we keep going, and you certainly show that!!

DAYUM - that head wound swelled up like a puffer fish! That does NOT look like Happiness By The Mile......just sayin. But hey! Who am I to judge....maybe it was a thrill a minute for you! 😉 Didn't realize it would black your eye like that. Did you ever get it checked out? What did they say? "Yep that's a hard lick to the head" or some other brilliant medical diagnosis? And you didn't seem to say how it happened but I'm curious. Maybe you feel kinda silly about how it happened but I hope not. Accidents happen and only prove our imperfect humanness. So don't worry about it - I've done my share of really stupid things....like making this post. 🤪 Anyways - hope you're feeling better now. Cheers

@kylemorris1573 Год назад

You’re a strong woman 💪🏾😅…. In my 5 years of being in the Fire and EMS service, it’s always a great thing to get your head checked out the same day it happened because your mental status can change in a heart beat but im glad you’re ok and wasn’t anything worse.. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

@cuzned Год назад

When you came back in the truck and said you hit your head, I didn’t realize YOU HIT YOUR HEAD! I’m not going to preach but you really should have had that checked out ASAP. There’s too many instances of people having a brain bleed because of a head injury. Glad your on the mend. I’m so happy I don’t have to put iron on those trucks anymore. Not a fun part of driving truck.

@MichaelNorton-uw8tb Год назад

Keep Your chin up Shelby, You inspire us with Your positive attitude and determination. I’m semi retired after approx. 40 or so years on the road, many trips over Donner with doubles still gives me the chills. Hope You are feeling better, give Dakota a big hug for us….

@riker1701D Год назад

I am so sorry for you Shelby! I hope you feel better soon! Here in Europe, every trucker, whether self-employed or not, would have gone straight to the doctor and not only had a comprehensive check-up for free or little money, but as an employee also got as many paid sick days as necessary. But unfortunately, the richest country in the world has a health system that the third world would be ashamed of. Yes, I know, from the point of view of some old, white Americans, we here in the rest of the world are all socialists and communists.... I hope you get well soon Shelby! Your fans are worried about you!

Holy shit! The swelling at the end is mind blowing! Wow! I know it’s embarrassing for you, but I kinda wish you’d have added the clip of what happened, bc I’m not understanding what could’ve happened to have caused all that. And I think it would’ve been good to show people the kinds of mistakes that can be made. But, Geez. It might be embarrassing, but look at it like a battle scar. You got that doing work. Real work. You’re a fuckin trooper Shelby! A fuckin trooper! I think it’s attractive to see a woman own some shit like that. Lol I’m a grown ass man, and I think that would’ve had my ass in tears hahaha. I’m glad you’re ok.

@RogueRipple Год назад

You posted the video so you're obviously doing OK? But coming from someone who's missing half the side of my skull from a bad accident, head injuries are nothin to mess with. Doesn't matter if you feel fine, especially when you're as tough as you are, you can have bleeding in your brain and not know it until it's too late. Whenever you hit it that hard to get a huge knot, go get it checked! Better safe than sorry, right?! You are one hell of a trooper though.

Hey don't be to hard on yourself, you do a great job I'm highly impressed with your skills, I'm a 37 yr trucking veteran and you are a great trucker. My only advice even though you can, is to stop walking under the trailer not a good habit to get in. 🤠

When I finally got it free it yanked me forward and I smacked my face against the bottom of the trailer. 😩😅 The important thing is you are ok!! 🖤🖤 I hope you are feeling better, and I just want you to know I look up to you so much!!

@esaucl Год назад

Hello just a bit of advice for chains, when using the tire chain bungee place the metal hooks facing OUT since facing IN can rub on the tire wall and there is a higher chance of ruining your tire, this is a bit of old timer advice that i was given when i started driving and since i have seen bungees destroy tarps when you place them facing in i have always followed it when putting chains on.

@Tornado_Grammy Год назад

Shelby, it happens and I’m glad you’re okay although a little bruised and lumped up. Early on in my husband’s career (early 90’s) he somehow managed to hit his head and was literally knocked senseless. He had our young son with him at the time. He was in the middle of nowhere when this happened. My son called the ambulance and I rushed to the both of them as quickly as I could. He was walking around in a fog for about a week. Honestly at a point I thought he may of had permanent damage. Thank Goodness this wasn’t the case. I’m sorry you had to experience this and especially being ALONE!! Let me tell you, you are crushing the trucking game!! You are a better driver than most on the road today!! You know your shi*t and have helped and inspired many young truckers young and old. Shit, you’ve inspired the old dogs as well. Be safe out there. Much love and prayers 💕🙏🏼 April

@lovedfriend2020 Год назад

I personally would of stopped and called someone to get you and drive your truck and you to the ER then your stuff to the end as you get checked out. Ive just heard bad things COULD happen even when it stops hurting after. I dont want a great young truck driver to pass away because she didnt want to get checked out.

@ShelbyHBTM Год назад

Unfortunately I hadn't even started chaining when the accident occurred. I felt like I had a duty to get my job done and assess the damage later. I am ok now I think :) but I am watching it.

@stevenww3560 Год назад

We all do dumb things and we learn from them.for a time but that bump and bruises you took is an A + lesson ! I've never chained a riy but I grew up with farm tractors in northern Wisconsin winters so I chained tractors many times and made my mistakes that I will not talk about lol ! Get better ! It only takes a split second to get those bumps but it takes weeks to watch them dissappear!

@mcporter03 Год назад

Remember to keep the chain tightness so the short hook is outside and the solid part is against the tire. I have spent years going over pass’s so I feel you. A cheep pair of coveralls and a can of scotch rite is a good thing😊

@nd318865 Год назад

54 years of "The Hill." Drive to as close to chain control camper as you can. I always find a spot. Wait for one or worse case, be turned back an exit then return to freeway going the way you were and again get as close to control as you can. Take them off soon as you run out of snow and find a big enough spot. Pewag absolutely!!! Cheap cotton gloves inside large(r) rubber gloves. Actual pair of large Loose rain gear is an absolute MUST. $60. Use floor mat to lay on if you must. Lay all 4 or 6 out: move back over them,, fasten using the real chain tightener for extra leverage.... Absolutely never drive with Emergency flashers. They are for emergency... Drivers using them as "Newby Warner's" drive crazy. Enjoy the ride as much as you can. Jim Tennier. Reno. And watch that forehead. So sorry for your trouble on my hill.

@nd318865 Год назад

Also: possibly most important for chaining at night. An LED Headlight to wear as you play with your chains. Check closely for broken ones and repair them asap.

@MrJokerJenkins Год назад

That bump looks bad. I hope you got a head CT. Thank you for your videos 😊

Feel the pain you're going through. Been there and done that 😵‍💫 You didn't mention if you went to a doctor or not. I do hope so. Any head injury is bad and we tend to self diagnose our mishaps as " I'll be ok" and push on. Been a long time since I watched your videos. Last time I watched you were working for FedEx so I will backtrack to get caught up. Cheers 🍻

Glad i watched it to the end. I gashed my head once putting on a drag chain. Smacked it going under the trailer to the other side..... bled a lot, but didn't hurt much. 73 now and retired, but your vids get me emotional! To a true 'hopeless' truck driver, that spirit never leaves. It shows in you, more than some others. Stay safe!
