VIDEO: Jake braking trucker has tips on how to avoid using the runaway ramp on Fancy Gap

The dash cammer in this video comes upon a truck that has just used a runaway ramp on Fancy Gap Mountain in Virginia.

The video was recently shared by TikTok user Marvelous Marv and has been viewed more than 10 million times since April 19 when it was posted.

In the video, the dash cammer is wary when another truck blows past him as he travels at about 60 m.p.h. down Fancy Gap. As the video progresses, he becomes concerned that the driver could lose control of their brakes. The video provides both forward facing and driver facing views of the incident as well as commentary and advice for truckers who find themselves in similar situations on steep grades. There’s also a lot of good Jake brake audio as the dash cammer shows you how he descends.

As the video progresses, the dash cammer drives by a runway ramp that was taken moments before by a different semi truck (note — you won’t see the moment that this happens in the video, but it still provides a good introduction to Fancy Gap and mountain driving).
