    What did he say?

    PA can save money by not plowing the roads while they fine trucks for violating the ban, all while charging the highest fuel tax in North America and stealing turnpike toll money to fund mass transit projects. The PA turnpike is 11 billion in debt and staring bankruptcy in the face. PA is a bunch of thieves and that’s all there is to these bans

    I generally avoid PA as a principle. Great money going in but no money coming out most of the time.

    Not to mention the screaming and hollering of local residents when their commute is delayed. Give me a break, maybe if most of them inconsiderate s.o.b s would have more respect for a big rig and stop cutting us off things would go alot smoother.

    Is this ban over? What is the best website to get updates?

    I don’t recall all of these bans in previous years. If they keep shutting things down then nobody will want to go there and rates will climb big time in the winter.

    I’m surprised so many of you are ok with bans over 6 inches. That’s ridiculous. I’d rather decide for myself whether to roll or not. I hate when people make rules or regulations that dictate to me what I have to do. It costs me a ton of money to have trucks sitting, 1 lost day can ruin a weeks profit or severely hinder it. I’m in this business to make money, not waste time. People have to take responsibility for actions vs being ok with Gov telling you what you have to do because your deemed too stupid to make the right decision.

    Absolutely incredible the amount of work a city will put into removing the snow.

    I did not watch the whole video, lots of skipping. But 50.13 and all the equipment rolling to the job site. Come on PA, you cant even get a single plow truck to do their job.

    Hated Pa in the first place. Now way too risky with all of the repeat closures. Life is to short to be sitting around waisting your life away. Scratched Pa off my list.
