    Caught this Friday morning up in Union Oh on 75, buddy of mine about 2 hours ahead of me saw a 2 flat beds and a ups in the middle as well... i saw this one and a Rush truck way way waaaayyyyyyy off on the right up against a fence... this one was closest to me, clearly driving to fast...
    even tho the left lane was not all that clear, and it was still drivable, sucks for him, but clearly he wanted to push just a little more i guess,

    I believe that company requires at least one year of experience...I realize that may be still be considered a rookie but a year means you've seen all seasons at least once and should KNOW, not think, better...

    The truth here is that after it happens, everyone knows it would be rookie mistake no matter how many years you have been driving.

    Saw a UPS double the other night... eastbound I70 mm128 in Columbia MO. I was crossing above on US63. Back pup on its side in the center 50 feet ahead of the cab and front pup... upside down, still smokin'. Happened just before I got there...

    You guys be careful out there on those slick roads. Rookie mistake or not, slow is fast when driving on snow-covered roads.

    I will gladly drive on a snow covered road.

    It is those icy roads I cannot stand to be on, but sometimes find my way on and no way off for miles.

    i never remember oh being so bad with snow removel, this year i dk what happened up there, but i doubt it will be like this again, from franklin all the way up to mi i saw, passed 3 plows and that was it!, kind of a joke really! this morning/today i saw more plow trucks parked in the U TURNS and at the nb w/s on 75, i dont get, and prob never will..
    i give major kudos to the 4wheelers tho, the entire distance, form about the 38mm to the oh/mi state line, i counted 3 4wheelers in the ditch,
    4wheelers won
    big trucks a depressing loss,
    i agree road medic, snow covered roads any day of the week, oh seemed to have been more ice then anything, for each storm this year...
    just a few weeks ago, took me 4.5 hours to go through Cincy, during the am rush, a pure skating rink, i didnt dare try and take a pic on that one...
    in the 1st pic, we were stopped, cop is standing in our lane, why i dont know
    the truck driver, sitting comfortably in the back seat of the cop car lol
