Getting winched out, how does your company view this?

No matter what you do, they will blame you and mark it, "preventable".

 

We each get stuck several times every winter at customer sites. Flat ground on ice or snow.
One spin and done.
Never anything more than a 400 to 800 dollar pull out.
That's the cost of doing business and the price of wide based tires...

 

Snowing pretty good and customers yard was not plowed. Reported conditions on Qualcomm and was told to enter yard.
The company is not your friend, especially safety. Never trust what they say on the phone.

 

I used to carry some good straps and chains , and some hundred dollar bills .

I always managed to get another driver to pull me out of a easy stuck where I dropped a drive tire off the pavement or something .

 

Last winter I backed a box truck into a ditch on a snowy/icy country road. Had to be pulled out. Company probably paid a decent bill but I never heard about it again. The next week I was scheduled to go to Florida, no snow.

 

Always keep a tow chain and some kitty litter
