It wasn't too overly bad in that pic. It was icy, but I still had comfortable traction the whole time even with an empty truck. It was enough...
Two threads that you might want to look at (they don't contain a lot of information for you, but it is an example):...
This was my view today, it was a slippery one! As you can see in the pic, traffic wasn't much of an issue today. We'll have a number of days...
We frequently get wind here strong enough to blow trucks over... and it happens fairly often. It's mostly vans and reefers that go over, but we...
What most often frustrates me is one particular stretch of road around here. I pull onto the (2 lane) highway with a full load, people pass me as...
Something that I've noticed with the company I work for is that there are very, very few drivers who keep certain parts of their truck polished...
I have a pair of amber glasses... I've always taken them off when it gets dark, but have sometimes been surprised by how dark it was when I took...
I think you hit it exactly. I've grown up with 4 seasons, have been though some pretty icy winters and have driven on some really nasty roads....
I work for a farmer, he also runs a trucking company. The trucks that we use on the farm are typically the older trucks from his trucking...
Ummm... if the other driver follows at a further distance, they'll be able to stop and won't hit you at all. So follow close and risk death,...
I took a look at the traffic act in Alberta, and discovered a lot of laws that aren't ever enforced. Traffic moves really well when people are...
I do well in snow and ice. It's kind of necessary to be able to drive in it around here. We have dry roads most of the time but we still get...
I don't know if it changes from state to state or if it exists in the US at all, but here in Canada, in the case of a merge, both drivers are to...
That might even be the case. I've been fortunate enough to not ever have needed to find out just how fast I can stop loaded, at least on dry...
That's what I'm afraid of... though the likelihood is low, there's the possibility that the car could cause me to go off the road, resulting in a...
gangster in the 379.
I didn't ever say that with a loaded truck I could stop faster than a four wheeler. What I said was that with empty trailers and with that much...
when it comes to tailgating, what's with the cops? Around here, a cop slides right in behind a truck to hide from oncoming traffic and pick off...
When it comes to the super-B I pull, I have 30 tires on the road, and my trailers are relatively heavy. With that much rubber on the road, I'd be...
