I've got one too, but in FL I rarely need the 4WD, only when in sand. Do you carry any extra weight in the back during the snowy months? My boys up in NH would steal those 6' cement parking space blockers and put about 3-4 in the bed for the winters, just for added traction.

I had a buddy with a Jeep CJ5, he said in 2wd it was the worst, but in 4wd, it was the best on slippery roads.

Look on your rotation. It has a pay report time and a actual report time. If you show up in the lobby for P/U at a specified time I think that would be the actual report time.

If you are delayed three hours it would seem to me that your duty period clock would be ticking the whole time.

Scoop

I don't need weight in the truck bed -- if it gets slippery I just engage 4WD and have zero problems. Obviously though more weight in the back would give even better traction.

The cities clean up the roads really fast up here since snow is so common, and people take their time when driving.

No more exhausting than the "rhetoric" of high temps are global warming, low temps are global warming. Hurricanes are global warming. Blizzards are global warming. Everything it global warming, caused by carbon, and the solution is for the US to reduce carbon at any cost so the "emerging markets/developing world" can burn even more carbon because they are entitled to while at the same time slashing and burning irreplaceable rainforrests and driving species to the brink of extinction because they actually think you can make magic potions out of horns.

Yeah Alf was great and the kid Deltalina wasa awesome. Took a few seconds to get it, but it was worth it.




thats what she said

The tires on your car are night and day the single most important factor in driving on snow and ice. They are also the most overlooked.

If 117 is the same as 121, FAA doesn't consider you "on duty" until you are at the airport and at the designated time. If Delta catches you before you leave the hotel, you're not on duty. If you show up at the airport early of your own doing (commuter, didn't stay at the hotel, etc.) same thing.

You always have the fatigue card to play, but be careful declaring yourself on duty for FAR purposes. It may not be the same as PWA. Use the contract definitions for contractual rules, FAA definitions for 117 limits.

Please everyone take a break from the forum and read FAR117. It covers this and it's not the same as part121.

I just saw a news report. It looks like I-75 is blocked in places.

Ha. We will. It drives great when it works! :D
