Dangerous Conditions

Yes, the truck drivers drive in terrible conditions. Where most people would stay home, they are on the road trying desperately to get to their destinations without an accident, without sliding into a ditch. Most people don't think about how the items in stores get on the shelves. If truckers did what we do, and huddle in our warm homes waiting for the snow to stop and the roads to be clear, there would be empty shelves in the stores.
If you are on the roads, just remember that truckers have a lot harder time stopping on the snow and ice and also starting back up again when they are stopped. Watch intersections carefully before going on a green light, as the trucker coming to a stop might slide through while trying to stop. Don't get impatient with them either. They are towing thousands of dollars worth of goods and they may have to pay for any damages to a load in an accident.
