Winter Driving

[UnconTROLLed]

Ill drive like pop pop in the snow and ice. If the backroads where I live are all jacked up with ice ill just call in. I live the farthest from the center and 1 guy lives the farthest the other way. If I do come in ill deliver to about 415 and shut it down n roll in. I shut it down so I have enough time to get back to center by dark. I don't play the game, not only do I have to worry about the long hike there but I have to equally worry about getting home safely also. Long ride both ways in bad weather. A normal ride to work is 45 to 50 min so you might as well say an hour and a half both ways in snow and ice. EMC all day long and don't give a fudge lol.

Yeah, I feel the same on some days. There are others where the timing is very early, and the roads are fine later.

I live 48 miles and ~55 minutes away, but on top of a 1000' foothill, including a 600' incline in 1/2 mile.

Ya, but I bet the view you have is much better than this flat lander has!

How many of you guys use sandbags?

Is that something you need to purchase yourself? Or supplied by UPS?

Business. Screw resi's unless the road is perfectly flat. Any hill or curve you're going to lose traction, and get blamed for the wreck that you have. Just EC 70% of the route until the streets are clear, there's nothing on your truck worth getting into a wreck or injured for

You wouldn't last long in the country.

Most of the guys who have country runs in my center use the company supplied sandbags.

Slap those chains on... and let er rip... man I miss those days, chaining up a p1000, and damn I was fast on those snowy mountain roads.... Only time I ever got stuck is when I decided not to chain up for a couple "quick" deliveries... I sat for 5 hours one day..(I was 10 minutes out of town) Thanks guys!

 

[BigBeef42]

I cant wait for my spine to crack with those chains. I hear its mind numbing.

I can drive a package car with no worries in up to about 6-8 inches of snow. And don't really get worried until over a foot.

You're obviously not to comfortable in the snow. I mean its not magic that people in Minnesota get around fine in 100 inches a year and 2 inches south of the mason Dixon line and the whole town shuts down.

Snow,plus hills,plus crappy package cars = no delivery.

Hell, I don't even know how many stops per hour I run in perfect springtime weather.

I can think of a few others that do the same thing. Especially some who just jumped on the "hate Dave bandwagon" without even knowing him or giving him a chance, because, you know, it's the cool thing to do.
