Description

👍 Enjoyed this video? Please drop a like and subscribe for more. https://www.youtube.com/@RubenSalgadoTrucking-j5g?sub_confirmation=1 This winter, more and more American truckers are refusing loads that cross Vail Pass on I-70 in Colorado, even when the money is good. In this video I explain why experienced drivers are saying no to one of the toughest mountain passes in the country. From closures and chain laws to the steep grade and what it really costs the driver, I break down what’s going on up there. If you’ve ever driven Vail Pass in winter or turned down a load over it, tell me your story in the comments.
