    It's illegal. You'd sew and get a huge award. AND they'd have to keep you employed.

    Exactly. They made it plain that I’m captain of this ship. If I don’t like the weather I don’t go.

    All you have to say if someone even ho hums when you say your delayed is, "I promise you, if the truck is in the ditch, it's gonna be REALLY late."

    I tried out Groendyke Transport for a short stint, found out being a suicide jockey is not for me. Anyway one of my takeaways from working with them was a quote from the founder Harold Groendyke was something along the lines of “No load is too hot that it won’t cool off in a ditch”

    Someone else said that he was sitting unscathed later in the video. I haven't verified that myself.

    Brakes that apply automatically without regard for slick road surfaces may have something to do with it also.

    I noticed the hazmat containment of the spilled fluids is somewhat low on the totem in the blizzard.

    4:52 to 4:54 of the first video.

    Hell, it's even a hazmat load.
