Winter driving do's and don'ts

Sometimes we do not understand why we drove some of those roads, oops dang load has to get there so next pickup can be snagged. I just love that sinking feeling when I have gone a bit to far.

 

If you are an OO, try to manage your financial life in such a way, so you can afford to park for a month or two , stay off the roads during winter, even if you live on credit card .
This job is 100 times more messy and hazardous on snow, ice, cold, long dark nights.

 

Yeah there's no way I'm doing any of those roads.... during winter that's probably 1 step away from being on an ice road. And I am no winter survival expert.

 

I always keep a safe distance, when those in a hurry start bunching up tighter than a nuns .... one unexpected manoeuvre and they are piled up.
I have never come close to rear ending a vehicle.
A head on at Revell River few years back I moved to the opposite lane and backed up two miles to an area I could get turned around for detour. That highway was going to be closed for 12 hours minimum

 

Winter Driving w/o the platitudes.
What, winter agian? aready?

 

Im feeling the same #### thing. A year has gone by. Wow.

 

Well, THAT was pleasant.

 

Might sound silly but I think your better off heading out at night after most people settle in. That's when I normally run anyways. I'd much rather travel on a lightly traveled snowy road than dealing with all of the idiots during the day

 

Did you really do that? Or did you just think about it?

 

Best advice I can give is don't drive north of I-40.
