    Ugh I left mine at home because I didn't think I'd need it but I sure did yesterday.

    I drive northern BC all winter. If you were worried about the roads you would never get the truck out of the driveway. LOL image.jpeg

    Interstate 70 was closed at New Stanton, pa .01/24/16 around 1:30pm , fire trucks had the ramps blocked. Pennlive.com says 20 truck's still stranded on the turnpike. It's like 2.days in a truck with no where to eat or go to the bathroom and ran out of fuel to stay warm. When it's around 6 degrees

    It's incredible that, with this major storm in the forecast for days, these folks were not prepared for a road closing. I came up I-75 thru TN and KY yesterday, roads were clear. I had full fuel leaving Knoxville, and enough food and water on the truck to go a week easy if I had to.

    There is zero excuse for a trucker to not have winter food and water on board, nor full tanks with a huge winter storm approaching
     
    cnsper, RedForeman and Terry270 Thank this.
