Driving the Canyons of Highway 84 in Utah.. How Will Autonomous Trucking Do in the Snow??

good morning you're in Utah Thanks three or four so Ogden Utah made it to Tremont you told last night I'm gonna film but the suicidal insects attacked my windshield in mass therefore I couldn't see shooter shinola so we just stopped here and got him cleared off the board so we can see again Mountains are gorgeous today [Music] I bet you these people don't even want to get on the freeway they just want to cut me off lissa other guy he was she was a gal you're heading back to Denver we're gonna take I'll be 15 / 84 right here who's to interstate Navy down to 25 Cheyenne South to them I might take 287 we'll see when we get there [Music] any love nice Hill equals 22 miles per hour [Music] gorgeous gorgeous day temperature is 66 degrees I haven't been to one homey what actually I can tell you thing is last time I was there I bought a lotto ticket Powerball in that that way they do things a couple dollars because I matched the Powerball that was February 27 March April almost two at once which means increments works 1 and 3/4 jacket my math right now see that Utah beaks are judged all of their trucks in Utah our nose dispensers we're a lot of mixer trucks unless I've driven were all rear the ones in Utah knows I guess in a big sense when you're climbing a hill like that rapport is the like a hitch thickener into the health and in the press ten hours forty-five minutes recapping ours and I need about nine maybe I don't have to get to Denver we're all good tomorrow I think I get 10 hours back Sunday again three so hopefully we can do a reset why you even said they're doing now you don't want to be in that Lane some people [Music] anyway around 84 we merged the 15 we're going back to 84 again where it ends interstate 80 so I was talking with the guy that a driver yesterday he said he saw one of our trucks going downhill really slow like 20 miles an hour flashers blaze and all that he talked to my radio that's what everything is okay you know saw I the truck feels like it's good yes when he's carrying say he's carrying beer I can make the Vegas trip with beer from Denver twelve and a half hours took in two days and he still wasn't there he's anyway it was yesterday Thursday so he left on Tuesday he was in Sal between Bieber and st. George Utah these bubbles the caps because they're all on air they lean a little bit but tiptoe clean you have to know the beer will liquid I should say anything soda beer water wherever you're carrying if you whip it around the corner like I can take that corner we just went over this in 45 mile I carry salt I can take that at 55 easy the salt is so heavy it's so low that it's not stacked very high so it's low to the ground or the bed of the trembler so you don't get no lien you're not to worry about flipping over unless you're really really drink it ripping it up but liquid all lean to one side to the other whatever her side here turn it and if you turn to the left it's gonna lead to the right to turn right school and it's taller at least after three quarters of the trailer so it's a lot higher your center gravity is higher now and very easily you can flip a trailer on its side with liquids be careful and over here load is less likely that it's going to flip over anyway our company pays pretty well there they're starting to try P 5/6 that means a guy could come from Swift slow Magadan fast travel she wished I finished training all them she can make with that a canoe and they're hiring these guys and they're not experienced they're gonna be two years it's okay but it's dabbing I've driven in the snow for 17 drinking 17 years and then learning a lot at that time so I get a kick out people told me how to drive and I was like I do eat some of their advice but if he's inexperienced drivers oh my god if I was met that guy you'll see there's not even any curves is scared of his home if you're Skinner you should not you should not be behind the wheel do that sneer because you impede other people more of a danger 20 miles and ever done the interstate flashers are gone some drivers aren't really somebody's not really paying attention I looked away for a second you're going so slow why you see some states have a minimum - mutator work and looks like you get a good job as you don't notice he actually driving on it California patch repair work their speed buffs there you go over upside-down make the worst the worst for road repairs I've ever seen even when they do a five-mile stretch it's like they did it by hand with machine machine whirring screen it out flat so I've been doing it by hand so it's just rough by hand you can do small area I'm pretty good in a big large area like that we know the speed limit is at 70 but it should be slower I haven't seen anything else saying that it should be a notice in Utah you can have Haiti Beaufort no 80 mile per hour Holmes Oh they do that certain areas of course other places are they do slide down in other areas they let his people bob has started - enough - Swift tractor crash in southern but southern is owned by Swift I have thought about fishing there stream a few times but and it got really low and slow it's mossy we do River around and down that comedian this is a place I thought about fishing it and I felt like mission it there's another stream there that we six treating Green River Utah and America you top and I'm sure there's fish in it they've arrived could have a stream six inches deep six inches of capacity insufficient small but they're in there and it gets down that low shoot state trooper over out of the canyon speed limit in the air was 55 and I was doing 62 really important for me not to be getting into speeding tickets we need tickets period [Music] it's like a negative review we're gonna get some filming in before I get attacked by the suicidal insects see our egg that's actually bad they spent their tracks do it 70 who's been 65 get up there imagine speed see how fast was the thing I miss about the freight liners it had a tell me the speed of the person eternity what they were actually driving 66-67 they must have turned them up a little bit this guy's just travel place to place do the same thing anything rough Junction that bridge get up myself any drug before I merge back so I saw a thing yesterday on YouTube mouths automated trucky and there's actually drivers out there trying to help them in their career by being hey sitter well the autonomous trunk does all the air and I being in the fountain Dan winter snow driver well we said how in the heck is that ever going to work in the snow and they were going on there's quite a bit of companies that are actually doing that and some of them are even making money whilst researching it and testing because they're actually hauling loads letting the truck do all the work and the driver just sits there and then they brought up the snow up so I was like hear what they have to say about it because I know yeah they're funny I longer than going up and down their pain all day now I'm big that it I wouldn't that's why they're doing it now and thanks for the heads up forever you might be right around the corner here would say it's girlfriend just end up with it and window shades so anyway they come up to the the winter driving part dudes all be sure how we're gonna deal with that yet so we just stick to the senator routes you can run now see how they are going to be able to let an autonomous vehicle tackle hazardous weather I don't see it I mean the sensors will be covered up it's an easy solution to that just put a heater on the surface of it to where packing snow and continue or you that's an easy fix when it comes to traction when it comes to breaking to cornering the granite that trips you know snow because they go slow anyway but I don't think they can really ever do that think of machine I could drive in the winter Mountain snow drivers so very interesting now that's good like you said we're gonna stick into the southern rocks for now it's always banana belt is king so what they're saying to is the trucks will drive for me to be the same San Diego from LA to let's say then a driver asked to pick it up in a terminal and do the rest of it every part they even had a trunk on there that was capitis really tractor if you will it was probably about five foot tall sure as Tommy held Atlanta they said that it's logical that make sense that the first actual role be the trucking industry we native point the CD here G H I J guillotine stops 8b interstate they said materialize they reversed I don't know I don't see them ever ever being able a semi mountain roads and snow passes live again they're going to get out and throw their chains on Reyes if you had an automatic James I would love to see that what shut down the interstate continued to climb jackknifed on the interstate male cats Yuson I have forcibly put chains on bill pass but they would get inexperienced drivers from Florida Texas Louisiana they named spin out what they would do which police stupid they kept trying they were not gonna do a chain and so then spit it out right into this main drain right now it's a two-lane before actually gets to news now they just shut down a link instead of pulled over to the side but Jade's on the it's gonna fishing right here just pretty pretty good money seeing that that is fishing there that is what area I wanted to x-intercept and where for me to really get over there the absolutely lips sit near in labor in right now and put chains on they did pull over to the shoulder had they done that nobody ever would've forcibly made everybody chain 58 degrees outside really II about of Interstate 80 right now we're going south East south-southeast East here surely about a mile of the site change lanes there's a guy who's a YouTube channel called trucking answers it wasn't him it was some other guy he just did a spiel about the autonomous vehicles until the drivers not to help those guys out because they never wanted no input from us ever on anything they passed regulations and all this other stuff now they want to do there's a matter going oh hey drivers can you help us do this help us rent these automatic trucks so that we can end up eliminating your job oh yeah these are people doing it I don't think they're probably gonna have some of that autonomous route and I would say going to the south I don't see it was it's something I'm definitely to watch out for study up on if you will absolutely curious about that 110% serious I'd love to see how to break out even the guy has entered into the testing are like and they don't have any experience on it either in fact in its snow and slippery cover up their sensors anything would talk to a mountain driver anymore in Canada or in Washington I guess there is too [Applause] take a look at what's going on back there [Applause] yeah breaker breaker 1-9 prime trucks I've been driving since 96 back in the day 96 97 early ladies trucks used to haul butt and I think I would get a hit just bad on this I'm gonna stay behind before we respond maybe but they're just now but back in the day prime is to halt but I'm talking down to three great seventy fighting miles an hour all the time and now they're reduced to once a 60 maybe yeah maybe 60 62 - all their drugs and get it taken out away see the pride or pride I think of something anyway so yeah your real drivers the Manitou explain to them did balls in winter driving we're gonna come up here in the wyoming scale well that's pretty much the only one that doesn't if you get a red light basically is want to know picture only see any paperwork I mean registration insurance that was license sometimes under license I'd always unless he was a paper reject and pretty and all that I'd like to get the green lights here's something that might help some drivers out I went 30 Green River to puck patella and there's a sign eastbound westbound sorry miss Belle there's signs of scale was open if the scale was on the eastbound side now let's go so I go in there and they called me in like usual because you have to tell you don't Cody light-activated bike board whatever light has been up read whatever is connected Miss California jerk right here like the highway but let me tell you what to do sometimes I'm gonna tell you I believe that's a feminine side I will leave here and talk to game is a game breaker Rico so I was going where are you going go to Seattle recover from and Jennifer does that make it sense to him because he's like this backward city goes is a westbound I think we have because you don't have to come in here nobody gots got signs all on the side inside of the highway telling this at your scale house and your open don't run it cuz you know what happens if you run it if your because unity came through his skin he came into our state right because yeah this is I don't know yes okay we have a scale house on one side do not have to stop if you're going the other side in other words if you're eastbound and still is he's bound you have to stop hiren eastbound skills on the west side do not have to stop the same thing as if your bus been and it's on the east side stanza basically what L mean is you just have one scale is usually an entry point into the state but I think there's that one on i-25 close to the Montana border they'll call you in both ways see what scale we're slowly being attacked by a suicidal insects we have just west of the way headquartered every student ever check out this motorhome coming up he's a dachshund tractor [Music] it's up to me [Music] is you're gonna come across better homes or RVs they're doing like 50 especially when you're on a two-lane highway you can't pass them boss edge you're how much weight he's got on there they start step up why was Rhaenys coming on there so how much weight you got on that Ellen taxes yeah 105,000 we are [Applause] you're doing pretty good we're supposed out love on he might have been empty flashes maybe was going GMC stepside California plate right in such good condition and we'll be driving later the thing about California's I should say positive vehicles stay healthy Ronelle but 94 197 is the border he's gonna get in front of this truck all boats exit in the zebra mussel infestation if you take your vote across state line two never inspected zebra mussels just and start to clog up loitering with let's see what the scale has to say for us first bar right here which what I'm doing watch that way secondly we'll determine but they choose to do with me right here that's ladies and gentlemen is very light [Music] get some today into bypass when they noticed that helps the bypasses if you can get your speed down which I hit the first one at 70 then I dropped my speed down to about 65 the second one rent I was still doing 70 they probably sometimes you're doing it by there's a good chip don't Kenyon's on 84 in your top riding shotgun with me have an awesome day and in peace
