[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 684147, member: 22610"] I had 10 ECDs on Friday. We had a real heavy, wet snow, 4 or 5 inches, and when you drove on it, it squished the water out and instantly turned to ice. On my third stop, in a very remote area, I was driving up a single lane road that hadn't been plowed, and came over one hill to find a 53 foot cattle truck stuck ahead, no place to turn around. Once I got stopped, I could not go forward again. The tractors trying to extract the cattle truck were spinning their wheels. I backed almost a half mile down a horribly slick hill, you couldn't leave it in reverse as it built up too much speed, you couldn't put on the brakes, it would slide the truck off toward the ditch. It was a tricky ride. I thought it was pretty good to only have 10 ECDs. If I were given equipment that handled better in the snow and slick conditions instead of the poorly designed and engineered new p500s, I'm sure I would have had a better success rate and a safer day.
