Truckin' It #084: Top 10 WORST Southern States to drive through in Winter...
Description
Winter is TORTURE on trucks. And in these 10 states, all in the SOUTHERN part of the United States of America, Winter is yet another fatal crash waiting to happen.
Please refer to my winter ops video for how companies and truck drivers like me PREPARE for this kind of situation.
Hint: The worst state in the Southern US for winter ops is NOT Georgia or Alabama (though I have been stranded for 5 days in the former). It's Arkansas. A lot of these 10 states either have extremely variable weather which changes by region OR have inadequate equipment for caring for the roads and have to rely on mother nature instead. In Arkansas, they have the worst of both.
I'm Zach Bell, a trucker from Texas who also happens to have travel and event photo experience, and Truckin' It is a show dedicated to teaching the hows and the whys of what truck drivers do. This includes topics such as dress codes, dealing with bad weather, switching truck models, eating in the truck, truck stops, truck features, distracted driving, and more. I have more than 10 years of experience driving large commercial vehicles (called Semis and Tractor-Trailers here in the US, Camions in Mexico, and Lorries in the UK) and will use my experience to help you start your trucking career on the right foot.
