    Man I saw some trucks in Illinois earlier. I could tell the storm was on the heels of everyone running east. Some of those trucks coming out of Missouri looked like they were in an igloo

    Should be up to the driver as to whether he or she is or isn't comfortable driving in whatever weather conditions come up or occur at any given time. The professional driver is the one on the scene behind the wheel. The companies that I've worked before climate have always trusted me the driver to make that call not someone sittin in an office riding a desk.

    I see your point of view, many if ushave the experience and skills to make it. I know I can...I've done it my share of times...I also see Climates point of view too. Ice is way too risky. When they fork out the money for insurance that they do, i tend to look at that move they made as protecting their assets as much as possible. Besides, I cant imagine they're going to have him sit the whole weekend. By tomorrow, everything will be cleared up most places.

    Yes but in defense of the company, why would they send him out at the time icing was occurring badly...that is nothing but recipe for disaster

    I second this here. Drivers really dont get paid enough money to drive on dry pavement, much less ice
     
    JForce28 and drvrtech77 Thank this.

    I am starting my CDL training mid-Feb with a private trucking school through government grant. I have 2 felonies (s.o.) dating back to 2006, as well as spotty work history. Does this company have any operation near Dallas, TX? Think this company would give me a shot? CRST is willing to provide a pre-hire letter, but doing team driving doesn’t seem like it would be the best situation for me. If that’s the only opportunity I have, then that’s what I’ll take. But, having options would be preferable.

    Climate does run Dallas pretty frequently but to my knowledge they require 1 year experience. Some of the guys who've been here longer can verify that. CRST doesn't have to be your only option, especially since you're in Dallas
