    I drove a tow truck in Truckee during the 70's. we were on CHP rotation call 24-7. i got a call to get a stalled car out of the way on top of Donner pass with people inside. and CHP had closed the road at the inspection station at the bottom of the mountain. i was pushing snow over the hood of my truck. and it was still snowing. the car was completely buried, only the antenna was visible. the people were excited to see me, thought they would have to spend the night there. got them back to town, they invited me to supper, we ate, they paid their tow bill, and i went home. normal day in Truckee.

      He isn't doing it because he is a nice guy. He probably is a nice guy but the tow truck business makes most of its income in these conditions and late at night. Not like a routine sunny afternoon AAA road side assistance call. Check out the unique capabilities of his tow truck specifically tailored to these road conditions. It needs to stay fixed in place while pulling out the stuck truck. Given the weight of the stuck truck and the surrounding snow it takes a powerful force to do that.

    I know for a fact that some of these truckers barely speak English. I used to work for a distributor where we had common carriers that came in and barely spoke. This is scary that you have these kind of drivers driving these big rigs on our highways. It makes you wonder how they got their license if they can barely speak English let alone read signs. The roads at the bottom of the mountain need to be blocked during the storm.

      After about ten days the crew got a little "punchy"....had to handle them with kid gloves....then after about 15 days they all started thinking this was hilarious and making jokes about it....that got me real worried.

    Truckers have an advantage with their exhaust stacks. I used to be a volunteer (search and rescue) in the rockies. There were a few times people couldn't continue and left their vehicle running to stay warm. The snow built up, and the exhaust would slowly encapsulate the vehicle. They became recoveries instead of rescues.

    It’s not just the drivers that are clueless. Well, at least most of them will learn from this experience. I’m thinking, none of them are owners operators. It’s obvious the companies they work for don’t give a rip about there drivers. Working for CRST as an example, my co-driver and I would always expect calls from dispatchers telling us to “park it” during snow conditions. In hindsight sight, I’m grateful for that because not once was there a need for us to chain up.
