[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2646324, member: 8481"] Now picture yourself pulling a set of doubles on the highway at night during a blizzard, snow and ice on the road. You cannot see out of your windshield due to the ice and snow build up, (feeder drivers know what I'm talking about.) Cars and trucks seemingly flying past you, driving like they have a death wish, cars in the ditch all over the place, cars spinning out in front of you, not leaving you any room what-so-ever to be able to stop before plowing into them, or that truck passing you doing 50 mph while you are doing 30, and then he starts jack knifing right next to you, hitting your brakes because traffic in front of you is stopping and realizing that your tires are just sliding. I can usually count on one hand the times that we get that much snow for the above to happen, but it does happen. I never think about stuff like this while in bundles. I drive around, deliver 1/4 of my route and get paid for 10 hours. Yes, a little tougher than when the roads are clear. Yes, there is a huge difference. Trust me, I do both. Do you want to lose your job because you decided to come in and drive during a blizzard to move cardboard boxes? I take the risk everytime it snows, maybe I'm stupid, but I do not blame those that don't, maybe they're smart. [/QUOTE]
