Fortunately, the trucking community over here stay in contact with each other via the CB radio, so they know what's ahead ..... Having experienced the wheel lock up on icy roads, fortunately in a car and I was travelling slowly enough to get out and guide it off the road rather than into the Mercedes coming the other way, there is nothing you can do once the tyres no longer grip the road surface.jon_d wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 6:11 pm Something to think about....

Keep in mind, they are in an even worse pay position than Aussie truck drivers, if they fail to deliver on time, they don't get paid in a lot of cases, in most cases they are paid very little per mile travelledGreynomad wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 9:23 pm Jon,
The problem is that they NEVER LEARN!
Every northern winter we have reports of highway pile-ups involving multiple vehicles — often around 100 — cars and trucks.
They can’t blame the snow. It happens in ordinary wet weather as well.
Tropical and sub-tropical Australia has torrential rain storms as well, but we don’t have pile-ups like that in your video.
