{"replyTo":"","text":"my advice? know when to shut it down. Especially on Ice. Drive during the day as much as possible. Dont use engine brakes or excessive braking on Ice and snow. Carry Chains. Make sure youre aware of temps dropping and use Anti gel in your fuel. Also when you drive in bad conditions and the temp is near freezing or below DO NOT SET YOUR TRAILER BRAKES when you park for your break. They ice together like theyre welded and you will be stuck in the morning. Those last 2 will save you a ton of time and money in bad weather condions when the service trucks are super bust robbing trucker blind. I myself was not in the military but I would like to thank you for your service. Good luck Newbie.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"I think he meant experienced truckers, but yes all of the above. if you have an automatic and things look sketchy set your speed 35 or less and hit that dif lock. if you get somewhere that requires chaining shut down and go to sleep!","replyToPid":275522}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Watch weather apps. Keep updated on DOT websites with closures and chain restrictions. Go slow and don’t let the big boys push you around. If you feel uncomfortable or unsure, shut it down and notify dispatch or rcvr. Keep it shiny side up 💕","replyToPid":0}
