Michael: I can tell you a bit on the trucker's dilemma and reluctance. Fine for you to head out on those side roads, but if his paper work doesn't show he picked up a load on those side roads he is in trouble also, just being there. He is in a no win situation. His insurance is probably written differently from yours. Remember also he has a heavy load, not giong to keep up with your power wagon bucking snow. Man if he ever gets bogged down in deep snow, or happens to get off the side road. The equipment it would take to get him mobile again could soon run up a bill of $5,000. to $10,000. That is also not allowing for any damage that might occur. Most of the guys I have driven for will tell you, when it comes to storm situation, sit it out, that is what you have a sleeper for. Even if they don't close the roads, many truckers will pull over. It's one thing to make that commute home from what ever you are doing within a 100 miles from home, it's quite another to buck winds and snow for 8 to 10 hours. The single biggest reason for closing roads in your area is visability and the fact SUV drivers will not slow down. If those guys would just use some common sence, there is absolutely no reason to close the road. The part that gets me about these SUV's is half of them are being driven by women going to mimamum wage jobs. Man someone must be desperate to get them out of the house.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
