Niteowl, I didn't mean to imply that all truckers are lousy drivers and the total list of lousy drivers is by no means the exclusive domain of truckers. People with 4x4's that think they can go anywhere, people on cell phones, people driving vehicles too big for them are all on the list.
However, I was limiting my comments to the storms last week. No denying the pictures on t.v. Stuck trucks everywhere. I am not a trucker, so I don't know all the particulars about having to get a load someplace on time. Doesn't matter. If it's too slick to drive, it's too slick to drive. Ain't nothing worth risking lives on the highway, especially just to make a buck.
Personally, when there is inclement weather, I think ALL vehicles should be off the road except emergency and essential personnel. Let the road crews have a chance to take care of the roads first.
