    If you are running these next few days in upper Midwest and you are owner op I hope you are smart enough to charge accordingly.
    As for me I think Im new generation but paying attention to weather forecast and staying at home really helps this time of year.

    no counter here son, if you know something to add that might help a new generation driver please add,if not oh well,some you new generation of drivers may not of ever been in extream cold and may not think of things that can happen or break, tires even get lower presures but you maynot care if a co driver but o/o does. If you cant put chains on yet, start cking on how to install before its time. Cell service is about 99% coverd nowdays so you youngeons dont have to walk to a payphone.no need in being sarcastic or a ####### if you cant add any help here,just move along.

    I worked in ND for several years and those -60 days are rough. I often would work outside all day and night in -34 weather and I feel sorry for any driver that is not prepared for extreme temps like that. It's a killer(literally).
