Driving in a Winter Wonderland

Driving In Winter

Snowy roads may look like a winter wonderland but driving on them can be a nightmare. Slick roads, decreased visibility and longer stopping times can create challenges for truck drivers. Even as roads are being cleared, drivers need to be mindful of snowplows. Just like trucks, snowplows have blind spots that should be avoided. Additionally, plows can create white out conditions with snow clouds. 

With all of the added challenges of winter weather, the last thing fleets need to worry about is a battery that can’t stand up to the cold.
