- Tractor Recovery | A Day In The Life (Winter Storm - Finale)
This is the last video of my Tractor Recovery trip. I'm almost home. The route that I took was not the route that I wanted to take. I was told to take this route by my boss even though I knew there was a winter storm heading through I-70 in Colorado. However, being an OTR trucker, these are things you prepare for. This is just another day in the life.

You need your own Netflix series !! 🤍❤️🇨🇦
Agreed! I hope she will get found.
You and you cameraman deserve your own reality show. Great job!
You’re very thorough, keep it up..... may I suggest to never say your tired 😀, just in case there would be an incident. They could place liability on you... keep your spirit and professional attitude.
This is a great channel!!! I'm loving it
I'm 47 and on hospice care. So I can't wait to see your videos they keep me going. Be safe out there.
I would like to say thanks for all the thoughtful comments. And prayers. God bless
I’m so glad you enjoy them. Thank you so much for your support my heart goes out to you. I don’t even know what to say. Thank you so so much ❤️
@@ShelbyHBTM I'm just glad you can show little girls all over the world if you wanna do something you can. Especially my 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters. Thanks
I will be praying for you, you are the same age as me, and its scary, I am so sorry you are going through your situation, I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
@@angelfain8040 thanks that means alot. More than you know
Ñ Philippines mnn I'll ñnà anyone h
Hi Mom mm
" Why is that guy honking at me". Maybe just maybe it's the hot blonde standing on the side of the Rd flying her drone.🤣
The production value on your channel is fantastic!
Hey everyone! At 16:30 I forgot to mention that I was at Glenwood Springs Rest Area on I-70 in Colorado, West bound off of exit 121. There were only about 3 spaces for trucks so parking is limited. If you want to see more beautiful places I get to see on my travels, consider checking out this video with some pretty epic scenery in it :) czcams.com/video/J2egJ7i2QXo/video.html
Hi
We have stopped at that rest area a quick stop ended up being a two hour, very enjoyable, adventure
Shelby, how do you stay so fit on the road??
That's a pretty place there. Used to stop there every now and then to take a break, and a couple of times to take chains off.
pay little for a mile in large companies. better to have your own truck
I always check the latch and tug on my trailer. I’m super paranoid of losing a trailer with 63,000lbs in it. On a separate note, I love the doggie sub titles!
J Sager triple roads in Australia I ALWAYS CHECK EVERY CONNECTION TWICE 120 tonnes of fuel on the back
J Safer. I pull my fishing boat and triple check when going on long trips and I'll check wheel temps after the first 50 miles to be sure bearings are fine. Paranoid or thorough, But never had a breakdown!
@@April8989 thorough is how you run a proper op no matter what line of work military ,trucking or surgery the more prepared and precise the better
I always kept a spare key on a cross chain that I wore around my neck when I was OTR. Sure enough, I locked my keys in the truck one day and had to put the spare to use. Saved me at least one embarrassing phone call to dispatch, anyway!
I keep a spare key under the front number plate of my personal car. if I get locked out I only need to find a Phillips screwdriver.
Zip tie a spare under the hood along the firewall
@@NHHalKnowsHow
under the back number plate...
I always have two keys on me, one in each pocket.
Still enjoy watching you back into tight spaces, (like at the end. . .,) practicing "GOAL," Get Out And Look!!! Many times drivers don't want to do this. Next thing you know, they've destroyed something!! Great videos, even with all the drama of this trip!!
I ended up having to blindside, so I had to get out and look after every little movement.
SAM Whitaker As somebody that used to have to deliver to family Dollar’s I won hundred percent agree it’s almost like they said what’s the worst thing I could possibly make it for a truck driver
@@ShelbyHBTM It took me 30 minutes to do a blindside dock bump in NJ last month. I scored a GOAL at least 10 times and the team that came behind me could not hit the dock. Old cities, old roads, tight spaces. Good times
Shelby is such a beautiful soul. Oh, if only the world had more people like her. 🤗
I been driving 8years I still get crazy looks I’m only 4-10 and heavy haul!!!
One month old channel, eight videos, 62 THOUSAND subs, and 1.7 MILLION views! Work it girllll
Before you picked up that truck someone knew about the heater and some one knew about no microwave
Not the way you take care of your employees especial your OTR drivers!!!!
All of the paperwork and the necessary markings, permits and tags should have been obtained too.
I’ve been driving 27 years and I get under and look every time too. Good job.
I have no interest in becoming a trucker but your content is very entertaining none the less. It's great to get a sneak peek into someone else's life, especially when their life is so different from your own! The quality of your content is absolutely stunning. I have a ton of respect for what you did and what you do. Keep going girl!
Love the content as a non-truck driver who respects the big boys and girls on the road... and your "B-roll" is phenomenal...
Todd.... It should be he has nothing else to do
5:51 - Great job being a "steward" of the road. Too many people just get impatient, and that Honda is lucky they didnt either rear-end the Mazda or have that tire get slung at them.
BTW, Taco Bell is my weakness. Now I'm hungry after seeing that taco salad!
Your dog was sure happy to see mama ❤️
You absolutely cannot Beat the State of Colorado. The Colorado Rockies are every bit as Beautiful as the Canadian Rockies. 👍 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the show of the drone 🙏. They were honking because you're 😍 beautiful Shelby.
Driving in those landscapes must be amazing. I'm a truckdriver in The Netherlands and everything here is just flat land
Thank God there’s no drama on this channel. So refreshing. Keep up the great work and take the good with the bad 👍
that's a very pertinent point, day n night. one of the reasons i watch it.
People like you are a godsend on the road. Way to use your truck as a barrier to help keep her safe.
The guy was honking to say "How you doin?"
I'm from Ireland and is a dream of mine to travel America watching your videos and the beautiful scenery makes me want to fulfil this dream even more, I watch alot of American trucker videos on here but your attention to detail especially showing all the scenery is amazing keep up the good work👍
As a veteran OTR of 15 years I enjoy your content. Keep it up and be safe!
Me: No way I’m watching a 22 minute video of a girl driving a truck
Me 20 minutes later: Damn, she’s really good.
Hahaha . Very good
I usually don't watch videos over 15 minutes long. But I find her videos going by very quickly
22 minutes?? ive been here for over an hour now.. i watched parts 1 2 & 3
You really can't stop watching the videos, it's really fun. Especially the professional recordings of the ride and the recordings with the drone are so beautiful. She also speaks a lot which helps me improve my English a bit. Now I've started with the oldest videos and I've already watched 8. I actually have to do something else ..., oh, it's not that bad ..., keep going.
Lol. I'm not even a trucker. Go Shelby!
I have my fishing rods with me at all times. Usually take note of some rivers and streams on certain routes. Will stop and fish for a while, take a small hike with fishing gear. A little different but gets me out of the truck. Hidden key is a must at all times.
Stopping and experiencing natural places like that is such a great way to remind yourself to be in the present. Life truly is lived in the NOW, and so often that concept is lost...especially when combined with the pressures of driving OTR. Really appreciated the reminder today!
Hi Shelby(great name!). As an Australian trucker I feel cheated every time I see the size of the sleeper cabs you have. We have archaic overall length regulations here which means we are often forced into using cab over engine trucks with tiny cramped bunks. No fun at all trying to live out of one of these vehicles for more than a day. I love to drive. Its like meditation for me. I've never wanted to do anything else. I would attach a photo of my truck if I new how !
Dude your road trains are the longest trucks in the world... please explain to this ignorant guy what length regulations you refer to, I'm always looking to learn something new.
Paul Backstraight agreed
@@backstraightblast i reckon he's talking about the size of the "unit".
The way the car cut in front of you and almost hit the lady with car trouble happens all day every day. Epic camera work and editing on your videos. props to the cameraman!
Spiritus.... The camera man's only job is to record and edit so it should be excellent!!
@@thetexastrucker7934 Okay but you still have to appreciate it, some are bad but this is so amazing. I'm pretty sure you have a job but someone can do it hella of better than you can. And that's for every job not you.
@@ronijr4918 I agree with you and I also think his videos are amazing. I'm not trying to discredit him at all. I'm a trucker as well so yes anyone can sit in my seat and drive the rig down the hwy too until they have to get off the hwy and deal with all the traffic and the lights make all the turns,tight or not, and find the customer w/o making a wrong turn or hitting someone or something no excuses, then backing the trailer to the dock regardless of how small the place is or how badly it is set up with cars parked everywhere. At that point it becomes a specialty that only the people who do it all day every day make it look good and excel at it. The camera guy does his thing all day every day hence his title and his equipment. I couldn't do it w/o his experience.
@@thetexastrucker7934 Cheers bud i was just saying, stay safe out there and enjoy the views! *cause i wish i could see it all like ya do*
@@billupstateny9151 this msg is just for you. Use common sense. When I say anyone can get in the driver's seat and drive the rig down the hwy I'm referring to someone with a regular driver license with some experience in a car or truck on the hwy on a normal sunny day and no rain. Not I70 during winter with snow and ice. Under those conditions it's not hard at all just staying on the hwy. Getting off the hwy and everything else not a chance. I've been OTR for 8 years, been thru all the major cities and winter storms many times, ain't too big for me. I know the camera man is a licensed driver. Anyone with the ability to think for themselves can realize he is there to make videos and edit for her and the company.
A few years back I was going through a small town and stopped at the stop light. There was officers that approached me and asked me if I would move the truck out of the roadway ahead because that driver was pulled over for a DUI. They escorted me to a parking lot and brought me back to my truck. There was an officer there protecting my truck the entire time. It was a pretty interesting experience.
I absolutely loved it when you were finally reunited with your beloved Dakota at the end of this video! She is truly your BEST friend, who misses you so much when you’re gone! Watching you both interacting with each other is proof of how much you each care for one another. It appears that all of you’re “bad luck” disintegrated after you were welcomed home with
so much LOVE from Dakota! Keep up all your hard work, we are really enjoying traveling along with you, Dakota, and the camera guy. Love your positive attitude! Can’t hardly wait for your next adventure!
Really I appreciate your efforts of love in your own work as I learn from you about your struggles.
I went on vacation to Colorado a few years back. Amazing scenery, wish I could live there. Enjoying your channel! Love the editing whoever edits it. You are amazing!
His name is Bodi. I forgot his channel name- something Media.... Anyway, I agree, he's absolutely amazing! 🙂🙂🙂
What you call,”Bad Luck” makes one stronger to enjoy happiness. Someday soon one must think of, seeing yourself. My very best to you. Bob
As an eternal pessimist who is trying to improve, I love your optimism and positive outlook on everything!! You always see the good in a situation and that's admirable Shelby!! Another fantastic video, I love all your videos, the awesome scenery, great music, super cool shots, and of course, you too!! 😁😁
I carry a bike with me on the truck. One of my favorite stops is the Katy Trail in Missouri. You can part at the Pilot in Boonville at exit 101 on I 70.
Hi Shelby, welcome to Colorado! 😊😊😊
Professional By All Miles....the way you handled the car with the blown tire, is a fantastic reminder for us truckers and 4-wheelers alike....we're on the road together, very well done!
You have such a childlike wonderment about Flying the drone, I think that’s beautiful about you, so young, so many miles ahead of you, stay safe driver...!
I cant afford to take adventures, so seeing the scenery in these videos is interesting.
Love the videos you guys!! Keep them coming! Respect to the camera work also 📸👍🏼🚛
I've retired from 2 careers over 20 years each overlapped. Did a year in the west Texas oilfield this past year til we were laid off. Now at age 50 i am applying to CDL school, watching yours and other videos is an inspiration to me.
KEEP ON TRUCKING YOUNG LADY...!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That was such a nice thing for you to do: To stay behind the driver that blew a tire. That act made me sub to you. You are very kind
love your video's ;). greatings from Belgium..
I need to get out west ! Looks amazing.
My husband is a hotshot trucker, and he took me out west for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He delivered in Washington and Oregon. I absolutely fell in love with Oregon! It is so beautiful, and so different from where I’ve been. The life of a trucker is hard, and having to eat fast food for 10 days totally killed me, but I’m am thinking about getting my CDL so me and my husband can go on more adventures together.
I love that you stayed with that driver that blew the tire until she pulled over ❤️. In 1990 I blew a tire with my 8 month old daughter and brother in the truck with me. I had 3 big rigs who blocked traffic on the freeway because I went into 3 complete spins. Had it not been for them I would have been hit and we would have been killed. They all stopped to make sure we were ok and one of them gave us a ride to the small town we lived in about 10 miles from where I blew the tire.
That’s an amazing story!
I love your videos, and I appreciate your attitude and reactions to the challenges you face. I wish I could have stopped more often when I was driving, but, I was too paranoid about something happening or being late with my load. Also, I know a few "po-po" who used to drive OTR....myself included!! Keep it between the ditches, sister!! I look forward to your videos!! Drive safe!!
Fantastic editing, your channel is enjoyable to watch with all the scenery. Living the adventure one day at a time :)
Thanks for the great content Shelby!
Love the videos. Keep em coming. Safe travels
My wife and I used to frequently stop at the Echo Canyon rest stop on I-80. That was fun to stop and feed the ground squirrels there. Sometimes you could even get them to eat out of your hand.
I love that dog and it's crazy how we almost know what he's thinking!
Your videos make me feel like I’m watching a tv show! I work for FedEx Freight loading trailers and you inspire me to drive! 🙌🏽
Love the video's, keep'em coming "GG"!
I like your videos,greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦
I spent the night in that exact spot you went walking past the Vail in on February 23rd...it is truly Gods country.
When I travel, I always like to go to where the locals go. Go to the best places to eat, meet really cool people and always have a good experience. You never know, they may tell you about a spectacular place only the locals know of!
I have no idea how I ran into your videos, but I am hooked! Girl you rock!! I love it, so proud of you and what our kids can learn from seeing you out there getting it done! Dakota....the best! Her commentary, highlight of the videos....lol Shes so sweet!! Safe travels, many prayers for you and Dakota!
I care!! Keep em coming. Until next time. And also I like waiting on the next video. It's like Netflix episodes.
The plastics on the seats is driving me crazy. Reminds me of my grandparents furniture. You would stick to it in the summer.
😂
Reminds me of tv show Dexter. Creepy plastic.
Another AMAZING video! Thank You for everything you do
Awesome. Really enjoyed these series of videos. Great job Shelby
Hey Shelby - you didn't have to tell me about that rest stop-I recognized Glenwood Canyon. 😃 I just wanted to say I enjoyed the video. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it right! Love ya! 💖💖💖
The dude getting plowed into at 21:48 :'0
Prettiest Trucker gal I've ever seen.. Keep those wheels rolling 💪 Diesel Sugar 💪 take care and be safe ✝️🇺🇸✝️
Great video keep up the great work you're a great inspiration to all decent truckers
Keep on being amazing! Really loving this little mini series and have been watching you since day 1 and loving the daily Insta updates. Happy Truckin from New Zealand
Thank you so much for your support!
Love your videos. Thank you for being aware and concerned for other drivers out there. People are dangerously disconnected from driving, so many cars and truck are driving themselves. Not Good. Someone needs to be in control of that vehicle. Also, you are right about stopping at the different sights and points of interest. Gives your body and mind a chance to rest and rejuvenate. Love the camera work and views. Keep up a good attitude, don't let the negatives out there get you down.
Enjoy watching you and your experiences!
That car with a flat was in Wichita Kansas on I-135 n lol people here like to drive on low tires till they blow out so I'm not surprised there. But welcome to Wichita, My Hometown
I drove OTR for 10 years so glad not to be doing this for a living nowadays. Love you're enthusiasm i remember being this way when i started out, but like many say this job is really is bad for you're health. I loved seeing the countryside but once i had pretty much been to all the states I was done with the lifestyle of truck stops and being away from the house you worked for and paid for but rarely see.
Bee-U-tee-FUL freakin' scenery...🏔
Great third and final part great work keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing the next one be safe
A little good deed for someone in need will always change your luck. Well done young lady 👍🏿
It was so awesome seeing you drive through Evergreen!! We recently relocated here and absolutely love the scenery. Safe travels.
Because people like you keep "relocating" to my home state of Colorado, people like me have had to move!! :(
@@TuxieTude I lived in Boulder and served our Country and was medically discharged after the Gulf War. I didn't realize I needed to ask your permission to move back home. Please let me know when it's okay for me to reside in a place that serves all my medical conditions.
@@TuxieTude by jove, ya got some "issues" there, love. ( it's called seething capitalism, btw). they do'nt give a "monkeys" about you, unless ya'v got a fat wallet. Orwell saw this shite coming in 1945.
Your shepherd is so sweet ❤️. My parents had one when I was born he was over 100 pounds and he was named fritz from the sound of music (baron fritz vontrap)
Love that movie!
Another great video - commenting to help the algorithm. Keep up the great work.
Another amazing video! Glad to see the adventures continuing, always the highlight of my day seeing new content by you :)
Crazy blind backing up at the end! 😲😬
Hey, I find yr vlogs very entertaining and you have such a beautiful personality and attitude. I really enjoy watching ur vlogs. U also have an awesome cameraman. He is creating great pictures and is able to make me feel the atmosphere around you. 😊
Christian*1301 you do know CZcams is for ages 13 and up right?
El Chapo Guzman ? Why are you saying this. Is something wrong with my text?
I have a 10yr old boxer named Bella, she is my soulmate. They are so smart. When you got home and your baby was so excited to see you made me go wake mine up from a deep sleep and just give her attention. So cool. Love your content. Stay safe. Cheers from Palm Beach Florida.
This is awesome. Wishing you the best out there. I'll live vicariously through your journeys.
Make some longer EPs ❤️👍
15:38 haha I think that was me in the tanker !
Yeah?!
@@redmesa2975 They still have a speed trap in Rifle? One of the only tickets of my life was there. Would have been 1970. I know I was going slow because I was looking for food or fuel. Anyway. The policeman wrote me for 20 over and made me pay the ticket at a dropbox before he would let me leave.
@@docputer on I -70, yes. Back in 1970, that was the old 2 lane LOL ! If you watch the classic movie Vanishing Point, there a short scene when the car zooms thru Rifle. There's a station wagon with 3 or 4 kids sitting on the hood. The toddler is my sister in law.
I saw that, and thought "that guy is flyin'!!"
Awesome video, love to watch more!
Keep up the good work and keep on trucking.
Greetings from The Netherlands.
x Leon
So awesome to watch the ways of the road thank you for all the happy trails that you give us
My two favorite spots are in Utah. The devil's slide and the reef region. I'd also have to say the top of cabbage looking down on the valley in Oregon.
20:50 another Sharp trailer. You should get a Sterigenics load from Logan to Corona California and back. Plastic bags, trailer feels empty. Easy run !
What's the reef region?
@@thetexastrucker7934 it's on I70 and it's a bunch of rock formations jutting up. They are pointy, like triangles or a stegosaurus plates, reef looking. On a MUCH grander scale though. I70 winds it's way along the reef for and then cuts through and up a pass to come out. It's absolutely beautiful!!
Yeah the top of cabbage is always a beautiful sight to see during a clear day!
I'm telling you need that sub zero sleeping bag it's a life saver
I liked your video so much that I decided to watch it again. It was great as usual. For eating out, I prefer Cracker Barrel over Denny’s. But when I do eat at Denny’s I like to get their Grand Slam Breakfast. It’s always good. I saw your post on Instagram that said you don’t make many friends while truck driving. I don’t get it, you have over 62,000 friends that are subscribers! That’s crazy since you have only posted eight videos over four weeks. Your doing something right. Stay safe. I’m glad you made it home safely.
Another great video. The guy that does your filming is really good. Love your your videos. Stay safe out there.
Im new from Sweden. I would love to take a tour inside our new truck
"Swear to Dog" 😂😂😂😂
I swear to dog all the time as well as curse like a sailor...
Ok I watched them all. I’ll be waiting patiently for the next!
It's not bad luck, It's LIFE!! Enjoy it while it lasts!
So do you have a co-driver or a videographer recording you because this is some nice footage your getting having some one film you and film while you drive.
Your'e very well equipped as an accomplished trucker and dynamic person all around. The way you handle every circumstance like a champion is superb. I can't wait to get in the drivers seat soon. Thank you a million !!
You’re channel is Amazing 😉. I love seeing the life of the road and you’re take on it. Keep up the great videos.
Borrowing your word, you are so frickin awesome !
