    Oh yeah, I think it’s an effing stupid idea from desk jockeys who know nothing of what we do.

    Maybe you should explain it to them, in no uncertain terms.

    We are responsible for what happens to our truck, and to us.
    Pencil pushers are just that, and not worth worrying about.

    Did I read on here that they write you a ticket if you are light and get blown over?

    If there no ice or snow or rain you could maybe go 40mph and not tip over.

    Not to mention that your company will fire you for driving in unsafe conditions, even if someone pushed you to do it.

    CYA
    DO NOT DRIVE if you consider it unsafe to do so.

    That’s a long slow waste of my time. I can’t believe there are no loads out of Washington or Portland with all those huge ships coming in.

    And probably ruin my career as well. God forbid I crush a Subaru and go to prison for being stupid.
