Power Outage At Truck Stop While I Get My Peterbilt Stuck In Snow

Sure don't miss driving in the snow..be safe out there Steve

Love the way you turned your lights down to make the reversing drivers task easier, big respect

As a younger driver (22) going through my first winter on the road running my route through the Midwest, from southern Ontario to Minneapolis and back twice a week, I can say storms like these have been a very good learning experience “ThE BoMb CyClOnE” had me stuck in Battle Creek MI until Christmas Eve, for instance. I run a CB in my truck and it’s saved my butt on numerous occasions, as I don’t run Waze or Google Maps I’m basically relying on good old 27.185 and my own, albeit very small winter driving skill set when it comes to weather like that. I do feel like I’m in a small group of rookies who’ve got CBs though, but when I’m on that radio warning drivers of “truck jackknifed hanging out of the ditch at the 135 yardstick, grab those left lanes westbound” that old Galaxy blows up with responses. Trucking ain’t what it used to be but there’s still guys like me out here trying to keep it as close as possible. Keep it shiny side up Steve, I hope to be able to see you strollin down the road one day in Orwell.

World's Largest Quik Trip was a quick trip.... quick trip through the parking lot and all of us collectively saying "Son of a bitch" with Steve when he couldn't get moving.

Pulling into a truck stop with warm tires and the lot is snow packed, it does not take very long to melt into that snow pack, and get stuck! What I found was the best was to drive around as your tires cool down, scope the parking spots available, pick one, and pull up and back a few times to make yourself a track to get you going in the morning! Winter driving is just part of the deal, if you live in the Mid-West! I always packed a propane torch, and a few extra bottles, to thaw things out, after stopping! Saved my a$$ a few times, and others too if they needed it! Truck-em safe, Steve!

That old school Peterbilt Truck of yours is my favorite. Ever since the early 90's I always wanted to drive one and still to this day love seeing them.

Night driving and snow makes it all very Difficult. 🔝 Video

Those Amazon guys don’t have cb’s lol 😂

Hello there! I'm from Brazil, as you know,we don't have anu snow, but Mud, road holes, animal crossing, heavy rains, and lack of gás stations that you can Trust to refuel and stay overnight

You are always knocking someone, nobody is a supposed super trucker like you.... And you go on and on.....😂😂😂

Anyone else think that tanker @ 26:30 sounded a bit like Boomhauer from "King of the Hill?" Now I'm imagining a spinoff with Boomhauer the Gearjammer. 😋

Slush Road trucking, everything you will get slapped on to your truck and trailer. Safe drive out their between the 4 wheelers and 18 wheelers.

Excellent video Steve. Have a safe rest of your trip! Keep on truckin! 👍💯🇺🇸

Man that’s sketch weather. Kudos to all the truckers that do what they do to keep us fed,clothed, and have our useless Knick knacks lol. Cheers

Great video FSC. Good footage from wet roads to greasy roads to out right getting slippery. Yup running empty in that stuff is no fun but if ya keep your foot out of it which you did you can go for miles like that. It does get stressful at times. It’s knowing when to hold’em and knowing when to fold them. When to walk away and when to run. It’s nice to see you stayed out there for as long as you did. Seat time in all weather is a drivers best friend. It’s like I told the president of Day & Ross in Canada, I never learned anything in the pickle park. You still can learn a lot in very bad weather doing 45 MPH. Anywho FSC loved the video, have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

That was a bad storm last week. Glad I was inside watching it all come down. Drivers out there, take care.

When I was 5 years old my family was on 285 in Atlanta and spun off the road down into a ditch my dad had to flag the cops down to get help this was 70s no cellphone service 😂great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe

Great video Steve thanks for sharing your trip into the snow storm. Atleast you were able find a parking spot. Looking forward to your next video safe travels Steve.

Great, enjoyable video Steve,,, At one point i thought that i was at the movie with 3-D glassed on. Wow what come great driving content. You came up to some shady traffic at times. I'm an (RET) Ol School Trucker and that ride with you and '' Orwell '' bought back some old memories of trucking back in the early 80's. I really enjoyed you getting on that CB radio and talking. I haven't seen that in years. Except about a year ago when this other driver yelled at you for driving an Cab Over but you shut him up on the CB. TWO THUMBS UP !!! Stay safe and keep putting out these great videos.. Bonecrusher out of Richmond, Virginia.. ''' Peace Brother Trucker....

Cool driving and navigation under those crazy driving conditions. Steve, you are the man! Safe travels!!
