[QUOTE="Route 66, post: 1286449, member: 40816"] Come on Upstate, as an Upstate New Yorker you should know better. The guy could have just commuted 5 miles into work in light snowfall in his 4WD on well-maintained roadway. The conditions could be worsening by the moment after his arrival at the station and projected to rapidly deteriorate in any possible fashion as the day progresses. Not all storms miraculously end after arriving at work - some have just barely gotten started. The storm may be much worse in the area where his route is taking him than where his station/ramp of origin is located There are just endless factors to consider here. Managing to get yourself a few miles in to work without getting into an accident doesn't mean your 300 mile route in your W700 or tractor/trailer or "package car" or whatever it is you may drive will necessarily be a safe one. These are all things to consider before getting into that company vehicle, turning the key and venturing out into the great white abyss.. Once you have made that decision, the onus is on YOU. I don't know how it is at UPS, but at Express they don't exactly hand out "Nice Try Awards" after rolling your vehicle over into a ditch - regardless of how terrible the conditions were. [/QUOTE]
