Just a "minor inconvenience" I'm sure, Lurch. I'm thinkin' the desk drivin' law makers have enough hot air to defrost the North Pole. Just station one politician at each truck stop, and several locations along the way. So simple --- even a caveman could do it.    |

| This could be solved easily enough. All it would take is MONEY. MONEY to place heating elements in the roof of every trailer that ever goes into snow country. And MONEY for however you power the heating elements in the roof. It's all so simple. Just EXPENSIVE.

| Along the same line as the "heated roof," we could have heated wheel wells on the trucks, heated frames, cross members, axles etc. etc. etc. on the trucks and trailers.

| Reason #1426 I'm a flatbedder. I'll get out and bang the ice of the bottom of the trailer with my winch bar, but climbing on top of a van and sweeping doesn't sound like much fun.

| This is true, but then tarping in a high wind does not sound like much fun either!

| It can be a lot of fun, just hold on tight and the ride across the tarp lot can be a blast.

| Personally, My thought is (and has been from before I learned how to steer a rig) that if you get hit by a bale of snow from the top of the trailer, you shouldn't have been following so closely. You can be a good distance back and still get nailed. If you're going 60 into a 40 mile an hour headwind, that snows going to land a long way back. Or when a truck just comes on from the ramp, with a foot of powder on the roof, and your in the next lane it sure seems like a blizzard.  |
