  • This is kind of extreme trucking, it's very windy and slippery on the road. I'm going to Breivikbotn in northern Norway. It was one night in February I was there.

    This YT video is a reminder of how it is like in maybe the world's happiest country, not everything is idyllic, rather often an undesired challenge driving in Norway in the winter. And thus in particular in the northermost part of the country.

    Being from Nothern-Norway. I grew up with that type of driving.
    Had a trip to Sulitjelma where I acted as a snowplow. Sure, it was only in a Mercedes 817, but having all the drift snow on my right side - almost side window height, no visibility whatsoever.
    In the middle of a long left hand curve, a small car appears in the snow.
    Driving E6 south from Fauske towards Rognan with 5 cm solid ice with water on top.
    Down towards Setså.
    This one time I was on my way back from Evenes, dropped off some musicians and their gear.
    As I was approaching Kongsvik, you got a left-hand turn into a straight that goes into a right-hand turn with an incline.
    When I am pulling out of the left-hand turn, the wind suddenly stops. And up to my right I can see a couple of moose calves in the tree line.
    The wind picks up and I lose the sight of the taillights on the tanker truck in front of me. Completely gone.
    Next time the wind dies down, I am in the middle of the straight before the right-hand turn.
    And I am not alone on the road. Mrs. Moose is directly in front of me.
    Somehow, I did manage to miss her, by the snot on her nose.
    I had the snot on the right side of the truck when I stopped at the gas station in Kongsvik.

    Good driving on those narrow Northern Norwegian country roads there TSTD!
    (The only positive thing (apart from a sturdy rig, good tires and decent light equipment), would have to be the lack of on-coming traffic! . . . ) Nothing compares to driving in snow like this, it has to be experienced first hand!
    Good job well done! 👌
    (I remember the winter of '67 in particular, the wind made snowdrifts so big, the only way to get the road opened, was to use dynamite to blow apart the biggest (and most compacted) drifts, a crew of volunteer locals with all manner of equipment used a week to clear all the roads! This happened on the small island of Hitra, outside the city of Trondheim) . . .

    I worked in Norway as a driver but only at summer. I feel like I have to go back and at least do a whole winter season, otherwise I wouldn't even call myself a truck driver... :D In Europe driving in winter is a piece of cake, even in Sweden and Finland is fairly light due to the flat terrain, but Norway is really a place only for the tough drivers. Driving on Ice roads in canada? pfff... they just go straight with chains on. Norway is the real deal :D

      Mostly 3 axles on the truck and 3 on the trailer. 1 steer and 1or 2 with drive. With the good tires we have chains are not used much but mostly when the tempratures change.
      these trucks are in general driving with 50metric tonnes of total weight.

    0:40: As trucker who did the Northern US/Canada for a decade, I would never use top-mounted driving lights, due to the 'snow dazzle' you can see in this shot. Your eyes keep focusing on the snow flakes moving mostly towards you, and you can't see important things happening on the road ahead of you. Also why you never use high-beams in fog. All these multiple light setups do is look cool, and piss-of the drivers ahead of you.

      @@mndkv2747 Do I sense some sarcasm from you..??? The Norwegian Meteorologisk Institutt do all the official weather observations and forecasts. Hence weather data is well documented. What is seen in the video is nothing out of the ordinary and can occur at any time. A few days ago on Sunday 2.January the forecast was for average wind 24m/s (86km/h - liten storm/gale) with some local strong gusts 35 m/s (126 km/h - orkan/hurrican). It didn't even qualify to an extreme weather warning. But still two buses were blown off the road. One bus with only the driver onboard and the other bus with 22 passenger. That buses are taken by the wind is not an uncommon thing. Just to give you an idea of what extreme weather can be .... then we have had wind up to the double strength of mentioned above....which means that the wind can exceed 200 km/h.

      ​@@TheSwedishTruckDriver In the video it seems like you are driving from Breviksbotn to Hasvik. It is quite an exposed stretch of road....only the open Atlantic outside. You don't show the ferry ride Hasvik to Øksfjord. That would be funny to see. I guess you were close to death there so you were excused from doing any video..... Some years ago I was passenger onboard the coast express (Hurtigruten). The weather forecast for that area called Lopphavet was storm. In Øksfjord did a group of young Swedish men come on board. I talked with a couple of them. They had been on some military training. They were some special force/commandos.... They were loud and had fun ...well just for a moment. They had heard that Lopphavet translated to Lusehavet in Swedish and found that funny. The ship left the port and these though guys were within minutes reduced to some pathetic green faced puking guys who could not stand on their own feet. Sorry, but I couldn't do anything else than laugh when at the same time the locals were heading for the cafeteria for finding something to eat...... ...just normal weather you know.....

    Always thought that the truck drivers up here were underrated, and underpaid! These conditions can be difficult in a regular car even. But it can get much worse than this as well. A lot worse.

      I know it can be worse I have experienced that. But then the roads will be closed. This road was closed after I have driven to the ferry.

      @@TheSwedishTruckDriver Oh, im sure you have. When the road blows closed like that there is not much else to do. However, our road plowers do a great job at holding the roads open. I wonder how that climb is when its 0 degrees and ice.

      Yes, they are really great. In that temperature it would not be nice to drive there especially with the hard wind 😳
