Driving in winter conditions can be challenging, even for the most experienced truckers. To help you navigate through snow and ice, we've compiled some essential winter driving tips:

Watch for Black Ice: Black ice is nearly invisible, forming when temperatures are just above freezing. Look for ice build-up on your windshield as a warning sign. Always slow down when approaching shaded areas, bridges, or overpasses.

Adjust Your Speed: No amount of experience can make your truck immune to the unpredictability of snow and ice. Reduce your speed to match the road conditions and maintain a safe following distance.

Stay Informed: Keep your radio tuned for weather and road condition updates. When parked, take the time to chat with other drivers—sometimes the best advice comes from those who've just been where you're going.

Prioritize Your Safety: Remember, no load is worth risking your life. If you encounter extreme driving conditions, find a safe place to wait it out. Let your logbook gain some hours while you stay safe.

Be Prepared: If you find yourself stuck or delayed, make sure you're equipped with the essentials. Extra warm clothing, blankets, canned food, water, and full diesel tanks can make all the difference.
