Serious question do any of you watch news or check weather apps.
I seriously want to know why drivers keep putting themselves in these situations. I for one will sit and wait out a snow storm even if it's an inch, why not because I can't drive in the stuff it's because of the other knuckleheads out there that can't. Personally I'm from Chicago and have driven through plenty of snow storms but if I heard of that Buffalo storm I would've took the week off.
And I get it if the wheels ain't moving you ain't earning and this is where we should get a minimum snow day pay.
I would much rather be stuck at home then stranded in a 5 foot snow drift for 2 days, either way you ain't making no money
to the truckers that got stuck in Buffalo

Lake effect snow can move in fast in upstate New York all it takes is a sudden change in wind direction.
One minute skies are blue, the next minute it's a whiteout dropping a couple inches an hour.

I think every truck driver should be checking the weather forecasts, or just simply the national forecast.
You don't want to take loads into places where there's about to be a blizzard or hurricane.Stringb8n, Another Canadian driver, LtlAnonymous and 5 others Thank this. -
I went into Oswego a couple years ago
Drove in and blue skies and sunshine and no snow
Was there maybe 3 hours and when I got about 10 miles down the road heading to 90 there were cars and trucks in the ditches, probably a foot of snow
I got through all that and maybe another 10-20 miles down people had green grassFlat Earth Trucker, Stringb8n, Another Canadian driver and 10 others Thank this. -
Just a little snow, there's 18 inches of it on my lawn already. No getting away from it, gotta live with it 4-5 months a year.
Heck the road down my street takes 2 days to get plowed after a snowfall most times and has currently been iced up for a few days now.Last edited: Nov 20, 2022
