[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1544288, member: 14668"] I remember early in my career we had a really bad snowstorm/freezing rain/record cold temps pattern that coated all the roads with ice. A new driver was filling in on what is today my route, clear up at the top of the mountain in a P-500, and he made the mistake of going down a steep dead end road and sliding down into a ravine off of the end of it. The local tow truck drivers were all familiar with that road, and none of them were willing to even try going down there until the snow melted. The P-500 sat in that ravine for over a week until we were able to get it out. As for the packages...the driver hauled them up out of the ravine by hand and stacked them on a child's snow sled provided by a neighbor who then pulled the sled up to the main road with his horse. Good times! [/QUOTE]
