I was thinking of you truckers as I was driving up 81 last week through the snow. I'm amazed that you do that for a living. It was a tense drive for me, and there seemed to be plenty of trucks out that were doing just fine. Wonder if those drivers were tense too.

Actually, I have a question for you, BrianR. Sitting up so high like that in your rig, does the mist spray from the tires on the salty/wet road cover your windshield too, or can you see over the mist? In my car, you need good wiper blades (and plenty of washer fluid if it's salty.)
