This reminds me of a night on I90, westbound over the divide. I was driving an IH cabover 13 speed. That was in 78 and I guess I'm giving away my age now. Back when it was a chauffeur's license and a paper log. Last year over the road was in 93. Wife said come home or don't bother. Should have stayed on the road!

Mike, just wanted to say thank you for coming back with the ride along videos at the perfect time. I drive for UPS in upstate Vermont and we just recently got our first snow storm of the season. Without your video that you posted just a day prior, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to show up for work. That said, watching you approach and tackle those snow-covered roads with such confidence and skill was an inspiration to me, and I'm absolutely sure I'm not alone in saying that. Just wanted to let you know what kind of difference you're making. Keep it up and as always, drive safe.

Thanks again for taking us along. We can learn so much about driving in the snow and icy roadways of the rockies in winter. The best way to learn is from a professional driver. Just watch and listen and learn. Best is: everything is slow motion. There are no quick fast starts or panic stops. None of this works on snow, packed snow or ice. There is traction but it is slippery and very easy to break traction. Even on snow or ice you still have some control but don't push it too hard.

Its getting hard to drive at night here in UK 'cos they have a policy of shutting the motorways to do repairs at night, I think there will be five areas of closures tomorrow night on my rout. anyway we had a bit of snow here in UK last few days but its all melting tonight. Thanks for another great ride.

I speced the truck out with air lockers as well. They come in handy pulling out of fields, in wet conditions. I stay in Minnesota. Tho one time i made a trip to LA with a friend of mine 15 years ago. We came back via I70 and Denver. It was in March and made for an interesting experience. Fond memories you bring back.
