28 years on the road. I've been through many of snow storms. I was told in training that bad weather slows you down but should never stop you. I was young and dumb then. Now that I'm older and wiser. I have no problems pulling over and shutting it down.
This comment right here is everything.. full of wisdom and common sense 🤓
Yes yes yes shut it down so you can live and truck another day
Love the way you open every video with Scriptures👸🏽. May the LORD continue to keep you safe and sound. My wife loves watching you, she is now a Trucker. GOD Bless!!
Thank you so much, that’s awesome ❤️
Glad you're okay.
Just remember, there's no load worth your life or an accident. Look forward to more of your vids.
Hi, Niesha, my name is Marcus. I'm new to your channel. Love your content. I've been driving total 16 years. 10 years OTR. The past 6 years local. I usually don't comment, but I must say love your energy. You're a great illustrator. Keep up the awesome work in all that you do. Stay safe out there.
Girl I'm so happy you are safe. My husband is an otr trucker and he went through that same storm and he was telling me how nerve-wracking it was 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! So happy to know he’s safe as well 🙌🏽❤️
@@nieshak your welcome and thanks 🥰
He’ll be alright is he a man or a mouse
@@DevonteM317 He's a human being with the same capability of dying like anyone else, smh.
@@03nowwow duh I asked if he was a man or a mouse if you don’t know the meaning of that saying the go look it up
Baby Girl🤔I'm so glad you're safe & sounds. Rule #1 in truckin when you feeling uncomfortable find the nearest truck or rest stop & park it. Because your life is weath more than that load. God showed you you should stop. Continue to stay safe out there .✌🏿❤✊🏿
I said “Now why is You Tube suggesting this channel to me” Father I ask that you wrap your arms around my sister, keep her safe always and out of harms way. I ask that she stay covered in the blood of our Savior Christ Yah, in his name‼️ AMEN 🙏🏽 YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL person and keep on pushing ‼️Glad I found your channel. New subscriber ‼️
I’m so glad you’re safe. I work for OOIDA (trucking company) for 15 years setting up people getting their own authority and I hear things like this every day. You are awesome! I talk to drivers every day and they don’t have the cool mindset that you have. I tip my hat to you. You are beasting out here! I wish more female drivers have the resilience that you have. Much respect. Bless up love.
Im a OG former truck driver and I think that you are doing a good job, your learning and you will get better with time, you're gaining experience
I’m an OG and I just have to say that I love your videos and your stories. All of us have made mistakes out here. I have a few stories myself that I’ve never told. I really admire your transparency and honesty.
Another thing to think about: When we go out in that snow or risky weather we have to remember all the people that we put at risk as well. It’s not just about you and your situation but it’s also putting the people that have to rescue you at risk. Sure they get paid but no one wants that on their conscience if someone else gets hurt or killed. A lot of people underestimated this past storm. ❤️💙❤️💙
I almost quit trucking dealing with this storm 😂😂😂
My trailer slipped from underneath me. I almost peed my pants
😱
Oh no 😭 thank God you’re okay 🙌🏽❤️
Lol I almost quit every winter 🥶 😂😂😂 but then I tell my self it’s only a season I love every season but the winter smh
glad your safe Niesha, I drove a snowplow truck for 20 years, it's always much better to wait until the roads clear up, you make better time and it's safer for everyone, Keep on Trucking my friend
I’ve been over the road trucking for a long time now and yes I’d been through some bad and worst snow storms. The best thing to do first is check for weather and road conditions before you put that truck on the road. If you see that the roads are not safe, and the storm is bad, call your asset manager and tell him or her because they rather deal with rescheduling than accidents and damages. I’m glad to see you are ok and well and stay safe. Peace ☮️ .
Man that drove me crazy just hearing it much less you actually going through it all. Glad to see you got through it all. And since I live in Ohio I heard about that truck too. I heard it on the news that whole side of highway was blocked off. And I'd say keep the crochet needle out of your bag.
I'm glad that your ok. And I'm also glad that you got the experience under your belt. But may I make a suggestion something I learned a few years ago when I drove through a winter storm. Get you some rubbing alcohol to carry in your truck and use it as a de icer. Throw it on your windshield and pour some into your emergency line. It's an old truckers trick. Please be safe out there.
I mix it with my washer fluid works a little better. Better bet is to not set the trailer brakes at all.
@@josephvillarreal4206 I would nvr sleep in peace with no trailer break set somehow 🥺
Thx for that tip on alcohol. I always thought it would crack my whole windscreen in.
Won't warm liquids crack a windshield?
thank you very much for the tip 🙏
Next time ask your company to give you the code so that your truck can continuously idle until your espar heater is fixed - that will keep you warm. It will be less expensive for the company and easier on you.
Truck life has a way of teaching us lessons we will never forget.
One is Mother Nature don't give a damn about our life, equipment or schedule.
You made it out the other side with an experience not many others can share,
And if you believe Adversity builds Character, your better off for it!
(And Kitty Litter will forever more be in your winter driving kit)
Wooo Chile! This brings me back to what happened to me and hubby last year when that storm came to the Memphis area! We actually ran off the road a we were BOBTAIL! us running off the road actually saved our life because bit a mile ahead was an accident and every vehicle that passed us collided into the stopped vehicles and we would have been crushed being bobtail. Thankfully since then we haven't been in any bad weather because I been trying my best to keep us out of it! We've been so lucky because we've chased storms, been surrounded and untouched by a storm and been ahead of a storm. Glad you and pepper came out ok!
At the end of the day, you made it home safe and sound. That's all that matters 🥰
Sis, thank you for your obedience. As a Christian it is a struggle to find entertainment without subjecting yourself to fast forwarding thru cursing, or inpure subject matter. Your content has blessed me indeed and im truely greatful. May the Lord bless you!
That was a harrowing tale. I felt like I lived through the whole thing. That must have been the best 2 days in a hotel ever!!! Lol!!
HI Neisha! I watched a few of your video's today, but this one had me gripped! I laughed, almost cried and generally enjoyed it a lot. (Not at your expense of course!) I work in Receiving and sadly don't have time to listen to a lot of truckers stories, so living vicariously through yours helps me to understand what you guys go through and i have developed a great more patience with regard to late and rescheduled loads, etc. Spirituality helps a bunch too. Stay safe out there and keep those trucking vids coming. Peace, love and blessings to you.❤
Lol you gotta watch the one where she accidentally went to Canada with no passport 😭😭😭 I love her videos.. entertaining and informative
Trick that helps a little with snow building on your windshield. Turn heat on full blast defrost, turn your sun visors down. It will still accumulate just not as fast.
You are so inspiring. God has truly reached down and surrounded you
with divine blessings and protection. It is so evident. Keep doing what you're doing. Great Smile!!!
Amen! Thank you so much ❤️
Wow. Well watching what you’ve been through, I was reminded of some of the troubling times that I have been through as a truck driver. I’m a regional truck driver in Michigan Indiana basically and I have been through all the snow storms so far this winter and I can totally relate to what you’re talking about. I run Dollar General out of Marion Indiana and they always send me to Michigan almost every single load. I can totally relate about the windshield wipers and it’s just a nasty mess in the winter time. When he gets really bad I’m totally tensed up on the wheel because like you said one fraction of a move and youll slide off the highway.
I think you for the rubbing alcohol idea though. I’m gonna try that. And yes cat litter or a few bags of salt is always good to have on hand. I was totally thinking about getting a bunk heater but I don’t have the 5000 for my truck so unfortunately I just leave the engine running until I go to bed and then I turn it off and stay nice and warm under my thick sleeping bags and blankets but winter is tough. I don’t see how you can climb up there as much as you seem to to wipe off your windshield wipers. Wow. In the middle of the winter. God takes us through situations but he has always told us that his joke is never or will never be too much for us. And I believe that because I praise him through the toughest times. And just yesterday on my run up to the lake Huron area, it was just one problem after another and it was just cold. Because I deliver and unload my trailer so I’m out there in the cold for hours. But anyways God is good! Keep fighting the good fight!
Oh my goodness! That sounds like a harrowing situation! Not gonna lie, the thought of driving a semi in bad winter weather gives me immense anxiety. I’m so glad you’re ok and you made it home safely!
Girrrrlll I nerves was so bad listening to all of this. Glad you are safe. This is an example of experience will be your teacher. So now you know
So very glad that you’re safe!! Keeping you in prayer for safe travels! Good bless you, and please post more, as you are able.🤗
Always check the weather to a fro before you begin
Me and my boss check it 5 days ahead and pick loads acordingly and away from bad weather
The energy on this channel and in the comments is so amazing. Just subbed.
Also congrats on making it through the storm safely.
Glad you and pepper are well and safe🙏🏽. At least you learned from your mistakes and will be better prepared in the future.
I appreciate you for this. Very transparent and very detailed oriented about your shiittyyy day. We've all had that day before.
Omg I'm sorry this happened. I remember watching you when you were a newbie and I"m so proud of you! God Bless you and pepper. Stay Safe and keep trucking.❤
I'm glad you're safe Niesha !!
I am happy you are safe. Thank you for being open and honest. It’s helpful to see the whole picture… good days and challenging ones.
I'm glad that you and your baby made it out if the storm safely. You are a brave little sis may God continue to watch and keep you,blessings to you and your family.
I just discovered your channel and I love it ! Im glad you're ok girl these snow storms are hard enough for people who just drive cars to work everyday I cant imagine driving a truck in that type of weather !
I love that you wrap up your story with words of wisdom and on a positive note despite the circumstances.
Glad you are OK, buddy. I love and support all truckers especially our your woman out there on the road.
I’m in class right now. I appreciate your stories & sharing your journey.
Definitely keeping me motivated & eager. Keep up the good work queen.
I feel like this I thank you so much for you being strong enough to admit and let thousands hear your experience it’s just amazing to me! I love you girl stay inspirational! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gotta love the headaches of trucking. I go thru too many myself. Some days, I have to tell myself not to throw in the towel in those snowballing bad days. Stay well & stay safe. Lovin your videos.
Lil Sis would you please be careful? No job, no load, no amount of money is worth your life. So glad you made it through…….. but don’t do that again! 😡😌. We, your fans, care about you. Take care of yourself. You handled those situations very well.
Dang!! U had it ruff it's always the expected unexpected then it's one thing after another glad everything worked out for ya and just look at it as growing pains and I agree with the tips you wrote down you stay blessed and safe out here
Wow, like a rock skimming across water landing on the opposite shore never sinking. Your stories and advice are just fantastic to hear. I for one am so blessed to hear these adventures. Stay you.
I've been watching your videos for over a year and you are one of my favorite CZcamsrs. Thanks for your inspiration- starting trucking school Monday.
Wow, I had no idea you were going through all that. You did well and you should be proud of yourself.
My gosh! That was THE most painful, scary story you have shared to date!😬😳 So very glad you made it through safely!
Quite the story / adventure! You were given the opportunity to learn a LOT of things about winter storm driving and decision making process. No harm, nofoul! God does work in mysterious ways! Good thing you and Pepper made it home safely! Keep these great videos coming Niesha. God bless.
Thank you for sharing your experiences Niesha! I truly enjoy your videos and positivity. I admire your courage and spirituality. I am considering pursuing my CDL and trucking for a living. I have worked in customer service and sales for many years feel burnt out and needing change that will also allow me to meet my financial aspirations. I do enjoy driving expect for traffic sometimes. The only concern I have is driving while its raining, snowing, or even driving through mountains. The only experience I have had with long drives was driving in my friend's Tahoe from Orlando, FL to Denver, Colorado a few years back. Though I enjoyed the drive the scariest moments of my life was driving up and down the mountain sides in Denver near Breckenridge and Keystone at night while keeping an eye out for ice. Was very nerve recking. I remember going down hills and the vehicle accelerating faster and faster simply because the downslope/downgrade. Was a interesting ski trip, lol. If I do start trucking I will probably start regional or local to get my feet wet. Anyways, I share my story to see anyone could give me any feedback on my concern especially when trucking in such conditions? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Everyone makes mistakes but the best mistake is the one which you learn from it. Thanks
God got you. This is definitely your testimony girl!
I'm proud of you pushing threw but even more stronger people know when they make their limit . Knowing the situation is going left . Take that right turn
All this occasions are just giving you that experience and better driver day by day. Grateful to God you made it out ok.
I enjoyed listening to this, glad your okay, and stayed level headed, you got spunk.
Thank goodness you are OK! Always follow your gut instincts. Keep on Truckin beautiful young lady!!!! You’re such an inspiration 💕💕💕🙋🏼♀️
Your story is giving me the chills. I was actually scared just listening.
Love your story telling skills, I had to tell my dispatch the same thing "Im stopping for the night" due to sliding in Illinois, like you said we are management while in these trucks, definitely be safe always enjoying your videos
I just discovered you and your channel and I've gotta say both are most awesome ! Glad you are safe and sound. Keep on roll'n !!!
Wow! You are so well organized and a great communicator. I love how you shared your experience with the drive in the inclement weather. I am also a regional driver and negotiate many of the same roads and weather. I loved your suggestion about pulling the tandem pin when you're stuck. Trying to pull a trailer. I never thought of doing that. Thank you!
Wow! What an experience. I am so glad that you are safe. I just love your channel and all the lessons that you are providing
It takes a lot of courage and caring to share your mistakes for the benefit of others, so thank you for doing that! I got my CDL in December and originally was going to start training (regional, based in Chicago) in January. My new boss and I agreed that it would be better to wait out some of this weather, and especially hearing this, I'm really glad for that!! Thanks for all that you shared, very glad you remained safe and love your channel!!❤
I’m glad you made it through, luckily my company cancelled loads the days that the snow got too bad. It can be scary !
Thank God that you're ok. Your dog probably has anxiety issues now. You're a great storyteller. This is a perfect learning & teaching experience.
Love How you explain things. The bowling ball and bouncing ball was sweet
Best story ever. Keep up the good work. Glad you made it through
I learned from a veteran driver that if iced is forming on to the windshield turn on AC defogger it helps ice from building up & for your windshield wipers put it on full blast from time to time to shake the ice off👍🏾
Just discovered this page last night. I can honestly say I really enjoy the videos
Beautiful story. Glad you came out safe and that the angels were looking over you.
Praise God you're safe, sound and have this living testimony.🙏🏾 Keep that spunk, solid to figure it out the non movement of the second trailer stay tenacious.💪🏾Prayers are with traveling mercies.
fantastic! i have seen a number of your videos and you have a vitality and a freshness that does wonders to the human spirit. and i am most grateful to the mindset of the family that reared you as a sterling example for all us. but young lady, please be careful. i don't know what your goals are. i just hope they move you to a safer environment. whatever, i will continue to appreciate and enjoy your vids.
Thanks for sharing your snowy story, I have been in that same area in the truck and I have seen the trucks upside down there too. I never really thought about that happening to me until seeing your story. So thanks for sharing, your story helped me, keep safe out there Queen, and God bless
I’m so glad you’re safe and got through it all beautiful girl.
I think anything I could say, any advice I could give you’ve clearly already learned from going through it. Situation awareness is key as always and you’ve realised that
Take care and stay safe
Love you
Thanks so much for your experience @Nieshak as perspective future driver it gives me insight on things to look out for even though you have the experience I get to learn from your mistakes so I will give myself Grace and I will keep you lifted up in prayer thank you for taking me on your journey maybe one day I'll see you out there on the road
Thank God your safe first and foremost as well thank you for your honest experience I truly appreciate it, I'm currently considering doing otr and due to your videos is what helped me to make the decision. Any lessons are welcome also the talk about energy is soo true may God Bless you and please stay safe.
Glad you kept your faith and are safe!
Much much love Niesha from a sister trucker 10 years in.... Trust me when I say these scary times make you a hell of a driver in the long run great job sis👍😊💖
Glad you made it through that. Sounds very stressful in a snow storm.
Good job owning your mistakes, especially in front of the Internet. You can only do your best in stressful situations and try to keep a level head. Thanks for sharing, Niesha.
Experience is the best teacher. Even OG truck drivers will tell you that. You learned a heck of a lot during this experience, don’t be so hard are yourself.❤️❤️
Excellent advice about getting momentum to get unstuck.
Something that has helped me in the past is to turn on the power splitter and turn the TCS Spin off.
That has helped me so many times.
Now this was a vlog … full of great information … even for us ‘regular’ car drivers. Stay safe!
You are such a good storyteller, im not a truck driver but this was very interesting. I'm glad you made it out of that situation safe! God was on your side. I'm subscribing
Your easy demeanor is something that can help you out in so many situations keep doing your thing stay safe and beautiful main thing is to keep buggy and wagon between the ditches
I don’t usually comment on videos but your melanin is glowing🌟
One time, I had to follow a rig in NY, it was a #white out!
Lucky we made it through that storm. Glad you're okay, ya energy is thorough 😍
Everything about you makes me feel so good
Hey I'm in ohio now , it's pretty bad, stay safe, and blessed. Also you motivated me to be more confident in my driving and backing...thank you
Im a truck driver as well and had to deal with the winter storm. I can relate to everything you've said. Just subscribed❤
Thanks for keeping it real. Glad you're okay. I'm sure you learned a lot from the situation.
Good job making executive decisions, learning and overcoming 👏👍
Thank you ! ❤️
Incredible story teller. I was like, damn, her whole situation that day was intense. Glad you made it safely
Exactly true
Mad proud of you young sista keep God with you and keep on trucking. 👍.
Girl you had the lord on your side. You are a real super woman. You handle it like a real G. Just came across your channel and I am loving it. Your voice is so soothing and thanks for sharing everything from the good to the ugly. Stay safe out there god bless.
Praise God that the tow truck driver was not in between the trucks doing something. All is well. God bless
Yeah it was bad i drive for Greyhound in Cleveland Ohio , Greyhound cancelled all our schedules for about four days we got about 10 inches of snow here. Glad you made through the storm ok. GOD BLESS.
Mistakes are lessons. I'm not a trucker, but i feel like i can relate to you bc i'm a woman working in a 100% male dominated position. They can screw up and laugh it off, but every time it happens to me i get so hard on myself bc i feel like i have to PROVE myself. A lot of it's in my own head, i'm sure. But your tip about giving yourself grace: A powerful message. We are all human, we all have bad days, and mistakes are lessons to learn from... and like in your case, good stories to tell later! 😁 thanks for the vid, i thoroughly enjoyed it! Was on the edge of my seat going thru all the emotions with you.
This was as a good video. Good advice Liked wait it out smart advice. Keep an Eye on the weather from now on. Glad you survived this run. God bless you.
Ryan Hall Y’all is a great CZcams channel for weather updates throughout the country. Especially severe weather. Stay safe!
