In a way that is pretty pathetic. Wal Mart does not push its own drivers to run when the roads are bad. Guess it makes a difference to them who owns the trucks and so long as it is not them then who cares.
That was part of the issue last year as well, The head of the Walmart was fit to be tied that the Crete would not run on the weather. But look out the side door of our terminal and every Walmart truck from that DC was parked. I was kinda wanting to get a little snow drive time in before the ice, since they just send us newbies out. But I did ok, just took it slow and very easy. I drove 45 miles one way to my job no matter what the weather for 15 years, when people that lived in the town just down the street would call in. Slow and easy was the key then, as is now.
One of the Great Wide guys was saying on the radio that Great Wide is owned by WalMart, it was the first time I ever heard that.
well you all be safe out there.
