Well looks like I'm starting with Swift on Monday 11/18 in Ocala, FL. Probably not the best time of year to start with winter coming. Lived in FL most of my life and don't have much experience driving in snow. Any pointers?

well.. if you want winter experience. its better to do it with a mentor to hopefully show you the ropes. i learned the hard way last winter...by doing it myself. had a heavy haul driver show me how to put chains on. like you, i had no experience when i started last december. grew up in southern calif. only pointer i can give is go slow and if you feel uncomfortable, pull over when its safe. make sure your mentor shows you everything you need to do the job. bring a good attitude and alot of patience
