I retired from Truck Driving 3 years ago after 25 years OTR. I made a bunch of Trips in and out of Denver. The most memorable was a hail storm. Golf ball size hail was several inches deep on the roads. All the cars pulled over and several were hiding under overpasses. I drove into town and delivered to a Sams Club. My Truck cab survived fine but the noise was very loud when hail was hammering it.

Ah, yes, know this section of I-70 very well. (Used to live in Evergreen, about 10 miles south of there as the crow flies) At the bottom of the slope at the hogback is Dead Man's Curve, seen a lot of trucks wiped out there. Good to see you have this! Be safe!

We went thru when it was snowing but once we got down we literally had to stop and shake off all the nerves! 😅 What a drive! Thank you for your videos, it helps alot of rookies out there (like us) Thank you!🎉

We see this all the time back east here where I am now, heavy snow covered free ways, truck rolling right along and the traffic slows down and the trucks can't stop on the slippery road and plows right into the cars, 50 or 60 vehicle pileup, dozens hurt or killed . Up here on I-90 now when the weather gets like that, the freeway is closed to trucks.

It’s everyone else especially those who don’t stay in a lane who make it dangerous out there. I don’t blame you for getting around that driver passing them on the right just to get away from them. Be safe Mike. Peace brother

My dad told me a story about driving in snow like this. Back in 1984 he went to Lake Tahoe and it was snowing so heavily that his windshield was full of ice and snow so he couldn’t see anything at all while he was still driving on the freeway. Luckily a cop saw him and decided to guide him to the nearest exit off the freeway. Must be scary driving in these conditions especially when you can’t see in front of you.

I am living in the Philippines now where trucking is quite a bit different. I have been over those mountains with chains many times and do not miss it one bit. People tend to "share the road" here and make 3-4 lanes out of 2 lanes. Very little road rage as Filipinos are pretty tolerant also.

When it snows like that, there are no lanes, that does not mean you get to use the entire road.... That suv should have pulled over and called it quits if they were that scared. Chains are reqiured and not a bad idea for going down hill in the northwest and California, because you need to resist gravity and bare tires often do not have the traction to hold back the rig for very long. It is often much warmer over here and that makes it much more slick. There have been many times I made it up a hill in snow just fine without chains, but going down was like riding a sled and wish i had put chains on. Even starting out going down at 10 or 15mph is too much to hold back all that weight. And with the curves a lot of the roads have you do not want to pick up much speed going down or you will be sliding off into the ditch or off the cliff.
