[QUOTE="Moosetek13, post: 12331831, member: 52051"]I came north on I-29 yesterday from MO into IA. Just before the MO-IA border there was about a 10 mile stretch that was littered with cars and big rigs off in the ditch and turned over. I decided that I could just as well pick up this load in the morning so I stopped for the night to let the roads clear a bit more. This morning I went to pick up my load and there were still some icy patches. I lost traction at one point, and that is always fun. It was a straight line so I just drifted with it until I was clear. Lucky. Then I went east on I-80 after picking up the load. East of Des Moines I kept seeing cars and rigs off in the ditch as well. Those all happened yesterday during that storm. Not really a big storm. either. Only a few inches of snow fell, but there was also a light glazing of ice. Just the right conditions to set up for some treacherous driving. I didn't see any wrecked Swift trucks.[/QUOTE]
