    Once the sleet gets driven on and compacted and polished .. it's as slippery as freezing rain.

    I've been driving 23 years. I can't imagine why companies had their drivers out in these conditions trying to drive. Amazon packages, Tyson chicken. Georgia Pacific cardboard boxes, used cars, etc. "NONE" of those things were important enough to have drivers out risking their lives in these conditions.

    • @Mac_Simiser
      @Mac_Simiser 6 місяців тому +1

      you know how it goes...drivers simply didn't assess the conditions and say no, I need to wait this out. It's tough to say this to a DM or whatever, but should be preached. Especially with "legit" companies like Prime and so on. I tell this all the time to newer drivers. Stay safe out there!

      ALDOT DID treat the roads in the days leading up to the event. As said below, we don’t get enough icy weather to justify purchasing salt spreaders or snow plows. Last big event was 2014. The smart thing was to huddle up @ home if one can, it’ll be gone inn2-3 days. So take your complaints elsewhere.

This is very unusual in the South. No equipment for this type of weather. There is no way I would have attempted to drive. What good is it. You can’t go nowhere anyway. I would have pulled over until snow melt. And 🌞 sunshine. Weather warm up. Are u guy’s crazy . Praying 🙏🏾

      It's not about being bright. It's about not spending money to have the equipment and supplies sitting around for 363 days of the year for the 2 days in winter that they're needed. I went out just before noon today, after the sun had a chance to clear the roads - I did not have any problems, but I saw that 98% of the retail industry was closed (mainly gas stations, grocery and drug stores, and Lowe's\HD\WM were the only stores open). It's cheaper to have everyone stay home for a day and deal with a few accidents than it is to try to purchase and maintain equipment to clear roads 2 days out of the year.
