    They don’t have any problem. Neither do the tow companies.
    Seriously.... everyone has to learn. Some more than others. And many suv drivers in the north still don’t have the slightest clue about driving safely in winter.

    yeah I am more used to "black ice" down in FL due to all the slick oil on the roads from the "liquid sunshine." LOL

    Thanks, Dave, trying to get my info together first. I've been doing CSR work for the last 30+ years. I used to do some freight Brokering with my Ex-Brother-n-law. Plus love the road and to travel. So want to be sure I get my ducks in a row. Due to me and the fiance wanting to end up in the Lawton, OK area before the year is up.

    Why not pursue a career in brokering then?

    Because you need to be licensed and bonded and I don't have the money for either of those at the moment. Plus I want to be on the road. I'm at the age that sitting home/office pushing papers...etc. Isn't what I want to do. Perhaps in a few years I'll try leasing/owning, doing my own gigs. But for the first 3.5 years I want to be working with a good company.
