Keeping it straight, grabbing gears and trailer brake at same time is a pretty busy bit of business right there. Well done

love the idiots who have no idea how to, or when to use a Jake break... its a tool people, if you dont know how to use it, ofcoarse you'd say he shouldn't have use it. That's a trucker there, not a steering wheel holder. he handled that like a seasoned pro.

how in the hell do you lose your CDL when you hit ice

Skilled driver. He went to the top of the lane to give the trailer space to straighten out IDK anything about Jake brakes and who cares if you're supposed to use them or not. He diffused the situation and everyone was safe. I don't think luck has anything to do with it. It was his day to be safe.

Trucker did a great recovery, but kudos to the other drivers with sense enough to get out of the way. They all worked together to prevent a disaster.

For all the comments saying you don't use a Jake on Ice...I think he proved you wrong in this case and the negative comments about drivers in front of him not getting over...that's just the opposite of what I saw...the immediate taking to social media and sending a negative comment of another person's action culture has got to stop...maybe the road way was not icy until that point and that's why Law Enforcement was sitting there warning drivers...happens everywhere in the World...please let's stop with being negative towards our Brothers and Sisters...find something positive to comment about.

That’s what old school truck drivers have experienced when it comes to down shifting and controlling the slide and trying not to shit in their pants….all the while praying. Got to give it up for experience 👍🏼

I have to say that I did that once with the dump truck when I was on snow and ice patrol. My God, I was sideways and everything else, but I pulled it out of there without hitting a car that was coming toward me almost hitting an abutment on a bridge but once the last car passed me, I gassed it hard and put it back on the road….. oh yeah I had some close calls, but I know that I was one of the best drivers we had…
