Hey Dan Count that day as a success. You kept her out the ditch, you ran 300 miles and you parked up safely at the end of it. Live to fight another day. Once in a while the road gods demand their tribute, you paid your dues without making the ultimate sacrifice. Tomorrow is a whole new day as yet untouched. Stay safe.

This video really is the true meaning of a truckers life. The real life hardship of running through bad weather like that. Sometimes it would of been better to just park it for the day rather than to put your life and truck at risk. The white knuckles at the end of the day isn't worth it either lol. Good to see you made it through the frozen tundra.

i hope u had put a extra set of fuel filters, and a couple of jugs of fuel conditioner in ur truck, back when u was home. their where u bought fuel at, ya think they had the fuel cut or i should say was the fuel the winter blend. stay safe, and the shinny side up, on days like these.

@bigjim57237 жыл бұрын
yeah-but i bet ur fuel from Arizona isn't. since u run in the south, west, and then to the north like how u do, and using so many different brands, i was wondering if u had paid any attention to it, when u fueled that morning, and it had just snowed out. that's why I carried an extra set of fuel filters, my cummins didn't like the different blends, and throw the cold weather in on it. i never had any injector trouble, but i didn't wait till the engine was crying for new filters-either. stay safe-ok.

Fascinating green Honda behaviour around the 7 minute mark! Some people just can't keep still... Also amazing number of trucks slid off the road although I would guess, judging by their lines, that a lot were avoiding other people due to driving too close to the clown in front?
