That's a stupid policy on the company, weather is still 100% unpredictable even with all the technology they use. What if a severe storm is forecast for the Mid-West in the summer and you take the load, get almost there and a tornado hits the area your going into, still a service failure on your part? I mean hey, they forecast that severe weather was going to hit. What if it's supposed to rain in GA overnight, you take a load going there and the are ends up with a major flood because the system stalled over them and it wasn't predicted originally?
i agree, forecasting the weather is hit or miss, but come on. If you've lived in an area such as the upper midwest for long enough, you KNOW when a weatherman tells you weather is going to be bad a day or two in advance, and they ALREADY have a winter weather advisory out, and you KNOW there is a huge system coming out colorado/dakotas and the news is already suggesting you stock up, odds are you are going to get a wallop. There is a big difference between a forecast of 4-5 inches that turns out to me a light dusting, and a huge storm/blizzard coming a day or two in advance and everyone, including city street workers, preparing the road surface for a foot or more.
