WATCH: Truckers VS. Icy Wyoming Highways
There are times when the load needs to be delivered but the road conditions say 'Maybe don't.'
That's what you'll see when you watch the video below.
Many truckers these days like to record their trips and post them on social media.
It gives us an idea of what they are up against out there.
In the first video from DCrossTrucking we see an attempt to haul a load of aluminium coils across Wyoming in the dark on black ice.
All did not go as planned for some of the other truckers out there.
What you might find most interesting is the chatter between the truckers as they enter this dangerous situation.
There are calls for everyone to slow down as one truck hits a guard rail.
Wisely, the host of this video decides to call dispatch and tell them that he is done for the night.
Trucking Review Channel shows a line of trucks caught in snow and black ice in Wyoming.
The host of this video talks us through how to navigate the hard conditions that Wyoming roads offer us.
The next video is from Johnny Trucker USA.
Johnny doesn't talk much.
What you'll get is a driver's view of what it is like to drive a big rig on icy Wyoming roads.
A lot of skill goes into this kind of driving.
It's the smart driver who survives, not the daredevil.
As a driver I find it best to stay behind lines of big trucks when the roads are like this.
Long lines of heavy 18-wheelers warm the road, clearing the way for my tires so they are on the pavement, not on snow and ice.
It's okay if the line is moving slowly.
It's not about getting there faster than everyone else.
It's about getting there safely.
