    That's the problem I've seen as well with most people with 4wd. It's not going to help you slow down which is the problem in winter conditions. When I was living in Indiana you'd always see them blow by you and it was inevitable that you'd find them a couple miles down the road in a ditch.

    Turned down a job in N.D. last month. Talked to a guy that just drug up and he said it was a sht show up there. Most of the so called drivers were half nuts or out of their element. Let's face it most can't keep their rig on the road when it's greasy. Disclaimer:There are some fine drivers as well from down there.

    Welp if you come up here to pennsylvania or west virgina to haul water, be ready to get into some fun. I love my job, but I dont think someone straight out of cdl school should be doing it. If you happened to get on some of those hills down in the hillbilly in the winter time your going to need some basic skills down pat and you may still end up with a brown spot on your whitie tighties.
