    Fair weather society has bred fair weather drivers.

    Single snowflake hits the windshield and they bolt into the trucks stop.

    My grandfather used to get his bologna cut in 2" slabs..... so awesome.... I also ate the dump-truck end of the metal Tonka Toys countless times on his property..... If I'm 'special' - one of those is why! (I won't mention getting hit in the head with a piece of slate tossed like a frisbee and bleeding everywhere.)

    Maine drops the Turnpike speed limit to 45.

    It's true. (But it's so dummies can't sue later on saying 'we weren't ever informed that it was snowing!')

    Well I have changed my views on it since I don't work in a industry that its required anymore and have my own equipment. If your out and caught in it, get through it. But if your in don't go out unless the load pays enough for down time and insurance deductible. I let myself in my truck get forced out once. It was the last. 194 miles 11 hours to do a pick and drop. It didn't pay enough to cover the insurance claim on its own. It was my poor choice and I made it. But what if I didn't? I would have been screwed at that time. I didn't understand the value of "its cheaper to stay home".
