East bound on I70 going down the grade to georgetown is no joke. Brakes catch fire and burn whole truck down. Nice tire booms

Thank God that Kelly showed up, only Kelly could have put out that fire. That's just what Kelly does. If it had been anyone other than Kelly, it would still be burning, let's all give three cheers for Kelly. On a side note, the camera guy has a wicked man crush on Kelly, don't bend over in front of him Kelly.

Years ago we we on the highway and a semi passed us. My dad notice the back brakes on the trailer were bright red and smoking. He tried called the driver via the CB radio but the driver would not answer back. So Dad told him " you might want to pull off the road you trailer brakes are over heating and smoking The drive came back thanking my dad. He took the next exit just in time.

I use the gears and the jake, I hate braking on downgrades. This is one of the reasons it is best to keep moving in lower gears if you can to help cool them down, if and when you can. That dead stop doesn't allow air to move through the wheels and this can happen

Volvo truck does have 10 flat tires on its cab and the fire will burn the tires to the bare rims. 😢. Also the cab is nothing left but the skeleton remains when the saddle fuel tanks does explode with diesel fuel.

This is why have the fire extinguisher by the driver's seat, not in a side cabinet. Sometimes you only have seconds to control a small fire before it gets out of control. This could also have been caused by failed bearings.

I've driven identical trucks like that down Cabbage, the Grape Vine, 70 east bound into Denver, Eisenhower and 7th gear and working the jake worked for me but so may times I've had drivers pass me at the crest and I'd see them hitting the brakes for several hundred feet. Apparently they're in such a hurry that they use 10th going down.

The 10 between Tucson and Pheonix and heading towards NM is prone to getting bad dust storms. My dad's seen burnt-out hulks of tractor-trailers on the ten. When I was a kid I was on the ten with my mom and sibling and saw a flipped Prime truck on the opposite lane, and an ambulance slowly leaving the scene... lights flashing, sirens off. I was with my dad one summer, in I think CO and there was a boneyard near the truck stop (or was it a stop) we were at. Two tractors, obviously from the same outfit were there and both had one side of the cab squashed. One, in particular, grabbed my attention, it was obvious the driver did not survive the incident. The other was damaged, however, the driver would have been ok, though if there was a passenger, said would have died.
