Don’t Drive On Wet Roads Below 35 Degrees
Particularly at night
If it has rained or snowed within the last (24) hours - if there have been
high winds that can blow accumulated snow across a plowed roadway,
wait until the sun has been up at least an hour before you get on the road.
If road conditions require chains - stay off the road until conditions improve.
I am starting my day in Kingman, Arizona.
I got into town around 12 noon yesterday,
had my tires rotated & balanced - spent the night.
I held up because of road conditions around Flagstaff.
Some of the most dangerous road sections
in the lower (48) states in Winter are:
I-40 between Williams & Flagstaff, Arizona.
I-40 between Gallup & Grants, New Mexico.
I-40 between Albuquerque & Tucumcari, New Mexico.
Black Ice doesn’t give a sh!t whether you are a 3000
pound car or an 80,000 pound semi truck & trailer.
You are a hockey puck on an ice rink
No load is worth dying for
It is the responsibility of the Driver - not the Dispatcher
to decide whether or not to be on the road.
There are enough apps - alerts - weather warnings
to inform of road conditions if you avail yourself of them.
