Same. On some level, I'd rather call my DM and say "hey, boss! Funny story! PA's closed their borders to trucks, so I'm not gonna be able to deliver this load until spring! Think you can get me a T-call?"

I dunno, after some thought about this, I've reached the point where it doesn't matter what lane they'd restrict us to traveling, it's never gonna work anyways. Personally I could care less which side of the truck they hit, as it's all fixable.
But more than anything, it really doesn't matter to me what happens on the highways when the snow flies. When there's snow or ice coming, we normally work ahead of it, sit at home while it's bad, and go back to work as soon as practical. Being local, even if they close all the interstates, we know enough ways to get where we need to go without ever touching an interstate. And so far, they haven't messed with us. You just go with the understanding that you may be on your own for a while if you have an issuebzinger Thanks this. -

So if your boss’s title is a “DM”, chances are he/she is just gonna say “uh, just stay off the interstates. I’ll send a new fuel solution. Carry on!” -

Far as the topic....Maybe they'll change it after enough wrecks. Remember...just because your a good driver, doesn't mean everyone else out there is whether in a truck, 4 wheeler, or whatever. You can't get people to use a bloody turn signal but you all expect people to be smart when driving in snow? HA! HA HA I say.
As we all know...commonsense isn;'t so common. If you need proof of that look out at all the people driving around you.
I wish you all luck. I hate going through PA every time I do, an I'm in a 4 wheeler when I'm up there. I would have a very large bar tab, therapy bill, or bail amount if I had to drive a truck up there.
To quote a wise man..."Eff that".

Probably a dumb question, but if or when the speed llimit lowers when it snows, does it lower for all vehicles, or just commercial trucks?
If all vehicles speed limit is the same, what is the thinking that trucks need to stay in one lane?
