    the truth be told pretty much all of us would at some time been in your shoes we've all moved on learnt from our mistakes, its a typical newbee mistake that all 4 wheeler's make because they still drive like there in a 4 wheeler, sometimes unfortunately you have to learn the hard way, some free advice in bad road conditions always slow down posted speeds are for ideal conditions, back off any vehicles in front of you by at least 4 seconds. learn to use your back brakes first before hitting the maxi's this will pull your trailer up instead of making it jack knife. and go easy on the brakes at first rather than jamming them on hard.

    Believe it or not I wasn't trying to be funny. Looked more like crystalized DEF to me than snow.

    Not a way to break with the trailer only on these newer trucks as far as I know. Not sure about his Pete, but most of Prime's trucks are autos now.
