    LOL I'm not talking about me being glued to someone's bumper. I dont drive like that. I'm to the point of when it snows I'm going to shut it down. Way to many idiots out here driving trucks nowadays who shouldn't even have a CDL.

    So every truck is limited to the speed of the mega rookie who just got his cdl and thinks he should be doing 20mph. That won't create a back up. smh

    And when it is your truck and authority and your HOS are getting low just what you want when you are heavy a swift of some other rookies driving exactly at 45 or slower. I'm all for safety but if you are afraid to drive get the #### off the road

    In theory this is a good idea.
    In theory.
    If the traffic would move at a reasonable speed it would be alright.
    They can't govern the scared to death novice in the giant winter parka with the fuzzy toboggan, and massive ski gloves, death gripping the wheel while their nose is pressed to the windshield running 15-20mph with the 4ways on.

    Then they wanna write me a cite for not sitting behind that for 150 miles.

    I went across SD on 90 the other day and the #1 lane was covered.
    The #2 lane was BONE DRY.
    Still... the knot heads were running 35mph on dry pavement.

    No excuse for running wide open like a fool on slick roads. That's a fool's errand.
    But, if you are the one holding everyone else up... get parked.

    The majority of the trucks running up 81 through there are staying on 81, and not exiting.

    Wow, they actually lower the speed limit when it snows?
    What happens when the lead dog does not keep up enough speed to get up a hill?
    When one spins out, everybody just has to sit and wait? I can see all kind of things wrong with this picture.
