I like how you occasionally showed a map of your location. Gave perspective.

5:50 Ahhhh the familiar sounds of driving on thick ice buildup...... We get that pleasure a few times every winter, and God help you if you don't have a newer vehicle with good suspension. True North Canadian here! great video!

Beautiful scenery. I've never been stuck but my brother has. He had a Golf and nearly 2 feet of snow. I did get a little stuck in 1.5 feet, I had bold tyres and eventually managed to get going.

Sand. Always carry a couple of buckets with sand. Trucks dont have a lot of traction, especially if they are not fully loaded. Trucks dont get stuck because they cant push the snow aside, but because they dont have traction. When I was a truckdriver we always carried sand or gravel in the winter. Much easier than the snowchains. I have been stuck on the Brenner a few times, but the easiest solution is to just look at the weather in advance and start a 9 hour mandatory sleepbreak when you hit a snowstorm. Southern Europe only ! Scandinavia you have to learn to deal with the snow. Appropriate tires, practice the snowchains, Coolingtime of tires etc. But boy it was fun to be a truckdriver :-)

Super 📹👌 Thanks for these horrible Pictures 🙄❄️❄️ I drive these Street mutch times in summer 🙄🌞👍

Some snaw there, we get that in Scotland nearly every year, it can block roads in an instant. Great video.

Ma in galleria si era sempre col motore acceso?

Which Camera du you use?

Apparently Polish truck drivers are legendary all over the Europe. "If I can't go, nobody will."

Wow, thats a lot of snow! Cool video! :)

Wow, had to sit there overnight! So sorry that happened to you, love big storms though!

And the 2018-2019 winter was considered “a below average winter” in the western side of the alps. I wont argue about that because feb 1 was one of the only days with good snowfall that winter.

OK drivers time to wake the frig up and put it in gear...lets go!!

Scary but glad everyone got out okay. Was it just the snow that caused the entire jam?

Ładnie posypało. Trochę sobie postaliście. Sporo ludzi krytykuje tu gościa z Ostrołęki, że zablokował autostradę. Może trzeba dodać jakieś info, że jednak nie ;) Jaka kamera?

Ostro was przysypało!! Współczuję, jechałem tamtędy dokładnie tydzień przed wami!!! pozdr

They don't salt roads in Italy prior to snow, or..?

Alguien me puede decir que tipo de camara esta utilizando, me gusta la resolucion

Whoot! The map showed how much time the journey would take. It forgot to say add 24 hours to the number. Whew - so many trucks!

And I thought there were a lot of trucks on the 401.

I once sit on M1 in the morning for 3 hours to wait a helicoper. it was Christmas day 2017. People just get drunk at Christmas then carry on after. BTW what did you eat? did you go toilet??

There was written that you have to get off the high way. So why did you not got off the highway?

Ganz schön schnelle Fahrt bei diesen Wetterverhältnissen oder täuscht das?

LOL "DISCORDIA" 5:16. Exactly.

One place I would NEVER want to be held up for any length of time would be a tunnell! I would freak out for sure.....

hI Arthur , sounds like u had fun, glad you r home safe

Arthur, what car did you drive in the video?

So true, perfect statment😎

Wow.. That was crazy...

Wow miles and miles of parked Big Rigs..looks like a couple of them will be there until spring..those single axle cab-overs lol. You rarely see C.O.'s in the States anymore. Back in the mid 80's I owned an International C.O. 9670 with a 300 Big Cam Cummins doing flat bed work. It was a great little puddle jumper lol.

Wouldn't want to be stuck in that tunnel for long with all the fumes.

Is that a VW ute in front of the dash cam car? ( In the tunnel, near the beginning)

I am from India. I like it.

VW pickups we don't have in this country.

My school class and me were also stuck in this huge traffic jam. We spent 24 hours inside the f*cking bus. Worst day ever

it could've been must worse...there could have been a multi-vehicle crash like the ones in the USA which can involve 50 to 100 cars and trucks during a blizzard.

I was under the impression that you had to have winter tyres and tyre chains to go over any of the European mountains I know I had to have snow chains going montblanc in winter time and winter tyres so what's the big problem have the drivers gone soft or wot.

Do u guys always get alot of snow

Wow, super filmik. Ale co, to "nasz" kierowca ciężarówki przyblokował? Bo przed nim nie widać stojących aut.

All single screws no wonder they are all stuck?

Please keep engines on in tunnels, that’s smart

at 1:15 trafic signs say that you had to leave the Motorway in Brixen... in Italian and in German! but you were stuck between Frabzrnsfeste and Mauls (i recognize in the video...!) so maybe it would be useful to add English either... or using the good old CB - as there might have been also some polish speaking CB'ers on this Road...!

Wo ist das?

Questo non è un disastro di neve. Accade ogni anno in Italia, in Lombardia, in Veneto, in Trentino. La neve è normale e la quantità che si deposita non è particolarmente elevata. INoltre in febbraio sull'autostrada del brennero, al confine tra Italia e Austria, le nevicate sono fattori naturali che non dovrebbero destare particolari problemi. I mezzi devono essere attrezzati e si deve essere preparati a questo fin dai primi mesi di Dicembre. Quindi non è stata una nevicata eccezzionale a creare tutto questo ma l'incuria e l'assoluta mancanza di manutenzione che la società Autostrade dovrebbe e doveva fare. E che invece non ha fatto. Le colpe sono inoltre degli automobilisti ignari che non hanno osservato la prescrizione di dotarsi di mezzi antisdruciolevoli, catene o pneumatici da neve. A tutto questo si deve aggiungere l'inadeguatezza delle infrastrutture italiane che, difronte a 20 cm di neve, mandano al collasso una Autostrada e interi paesi e regioni. Non diamo la colpa a madre Natura. In questi casi Lei non c'entra nulla. Diamo la colpa a chi non ha fatto nulla per evitare tutto questo e chi si è avventurato in mezzo ad una tormenta senza sapere cosa stava facendo. E da italiano io mi vergogno ad avere un paese di ebeti che non è capace a pulire una Autostrada.

There is always this one guy .. " I am better then all of you I don't even know why you've stopped your trucks I'll keep going !" .. gets stuck like everybody else, blames it on a random fact

I travel this route many times with Camion Italia side no snow ploughs,Austria side 10+ snow ploughs all winter no problem

What did I miss? Were the roads icy, that caused everybody to stop? There wasn't enough snow on the ground to prevent anyone from driving at the beginning of the video. Toward the end, there was more snow piled around the vehicles blocking the road, so a plow couldn't get through.

Unglaublich

imagine that and having just one cigarette.

das nenne ich eine entspannte Fahrt! nicht immer 300über baba siehe da es geht dochXD

The authorities made a mistake by not forcing all the trucks to the outer lanes in time. This is the first thing to do, otherwise you get 1 single truck and a 50 km queue of 1000 passanger cars, vans, minivans, SUVs etc. behind it.

Oh Brother 😵

The EU tractor trailer combination is unsuitable on icy and snowy roads. In winter in Scandinavia we see a lot of midle- and east european tractor trailers get stuck and and prevents normal truck traffic. The tractor has to be at least one meter longer than the EU-tractor to be safe on winter roads. Best is a 24 to 25,25 meter combination with a 3 axle truck (6 x 2) and a draw bar trailer.

а шторм то где?

Ciekawe ile im zajęło udrożnienie i przywrócenie normalnego ruchu na trasie. Współczuje tak długiej jazdy :/

Pretty much every truck is a the single axle ones, guess not the best for winter driving.

great

Looks like they need a Tow Plow to clean them roads off

At the end of this video you can notice the difference between a civilized country (Austria) and my country (Italy) where people must pay the most expensive tolls in Europe to get stuck in the snow for 24h (or more if you drive a truck) in december on a highway that crosses the mountains.

whats up with most of the trailers having 3 axles?

A good pair of proper wintertyres and some chains is handy in wintertime :/

Ohhh... In den Alpen gibt es immer starken schneefall naja fast immer ...!

Greetings from Switzerland ❄️

Vergognoso!! Incredibile non si possa prevedere una situazione del genere.😞

And I thought there were too many big rigs on the roads in Southern California! Nothing compared to that mess.

Busco trabajo de trailero con experiencia USA

Atis banget mesti

Chain up, let's go.

John Paul Jackson and the perfect storm was right!

Driveing to fast and to close behind. we all know what happens next.

main problem is that in winter on the northern part of the Brennero, a heavy snow can happen anytime. Still the maintenance failed and too many drivers didn't take the necessary precautions (ex. chains)

Lpl, I guess no one uses chains in the mountains.

La neve c'era ma ho visto di molto peggio.

Why drive a truck in Europe in the winter, if all you do is sit in back-ups like this? We have snow storms in the US but we salt, plow & chain up to deal with it & keep moving . Single screw trucks usually stay in the warmer parts because they get stuck so easy. And we tow & fine drivers that are unprepared to drive in winter conditions.

Just wander if people realize that that many trucks, every day, are necessary to keep them alive. Every thing else except, : electricity, gas and water, was or will have to be transported by truck so we can go on maintaining our marry go lucky life style. Every day of the year, every weather condition. Big cheers to the truckies of our world.

I understand that many countries in Europe (like Austria) require passenger vehicles to have snow tyres in winter months. Does the same applies to lorries? Thx - Colorado winter warrior

This is my list night with you 😁😁

Adele my favorite, have her in my car now.

I would hate to be on that in a single axle semi no interlock that would suck especially in short wheel base cab over.

About the snowchains. Do you know guys, on the whole fucking Brenner motorway there is not enough shitty parking place? Late afternoon you can not even stop by truck to shit, if there is a call of nature. There is no place in those tiny Autogrill parkings. From Verona up to Brennero. On a simply day you have no chance to find a free place, let alone spending 20 minutes to put on the chains. And chains sometimes not enough. During a heavy snowfall, it would be better to pull aside, and wait for the next day. But where?

So Italy has never heard of snow plows? Maybe less vino and more snow plows.

Sorry buddy for waiting

Ich freue mich schon auf solche Staus, wenn man nur noch Elektroautos fahren darf!! Der tot durch Erfrierungen ist vorprogrammiert

Next morning 50 people dead from carbon monxide poisoning from running engines.

Where is the disaster. All i saw was a some little bit of snow and truckdrivers who cant drive on snow. It was not even much snow.

Woow... beautiful sunny day. I think you`r all going to the beach. Ma le concessioni della viabilita, che fannp? Rubano i soldi?

ti polaci jsou všude (y) dobré video.

wauuuu

maybe every 20th semi truck should put a snow plow on? :P

You are joking, right? How can trucks be stuck in so little snow? Perhaps they were all waiting for the truck ahead to get moving. I did not see any accident. But really that isn't much snow.

Ha stato la Raggi.

oddly?? in February it is snowing on Brennero. Ha ha ha ha

Dai non mi sembra ci sia molta neve

Don't they chain up there trucks in this type of situation there ???

Not a single truck with chains?!

0:00 Unicon pooped on your map?

Sono di Genova e nell’entroterra nevica parecchio. Gli spazzaneve partono subito e gli autocarri bloccati . La stessa notte sulla Savona Torino sono caduti 40 cm e ci sono stati solo rallentamenti. É scandaloso che certi fatti accadano sul Brennero dove si dovrebbe essere attrezzati !

E le colpe gravi sono anche di quei camionisti che non capiscono che si devono mettere in coda a destra e non sorpassare se non sono in grado di avanzare. Ogni volta è la stessa cosa. ed ogni volta che nevica i disastri li creano in gran parte loro. Il video ne è prova lampante.

In queste condizioni, i camion devono essere fermati in basso (max Bolzano)... chi si avventura senza equipaggiamento invernale (camion o auto che sia) e blocca il traffico multone da ricordare a lungo... questa è la ricetta svizzera. Se non blocchi i camion prima, come cavolo fai a pulire le strade?

Where is the disaster?
