New Driver needs help..Is Winter really that bad?

its a frozen,miserable,nightmare.

One patch of ice,one slick corner,and you're rolled over,jack knifed,or in a ditch with a ruined truck.....game over.

 

New drivers from florida,

drive up north in snow and ice.

Time you learn.

 

Just be cautious, take it slow, drive in your comfort zone.

 

Stay at your job until march .
Three months wont kill you .
On the other hand the ice and snow can kill you .
Not saying it will but it can .
It is easier to learn the ropes in the spring and then learn the winter thing after you get down the basics of road life .

 

No its not bad at all. Just dont be an idiot and dont let other drivers pressure you to go fast.

" Who will hire me with a rear end collision - it was icy and not my fault but they charged me with some BS called 'driving too fast for conditions' . . . "

It's a lot to take on, new driver and winter, with trainer
. . I don't know dude.

 

Big-M has nicer looking trucks than TMC; can't blame her for wanting to hit the road.

Big-M must not be worried about putting you in one of those nice trucks in Jan. or they wouldn't.

 

Who's fault was it? the Ice? Your always responsible for being in control of you vehicle. If you rearend someone it is almost always your fault. If on ice you should drive really slow so you can stop. The guy you hit stopped. You'd be a lot better off if you admit your mistake and learn from it. Saying a rear end isn't your fault isn't going to get you any brownie points with safety departments.

Weather conditions can never be blamed for your failure to control your vehicle.

Also, start your own thread, dont hijack someone elses.

 

But then the first time your on your own in ice or snow will be by yourself without a trainer.
