Looking at that picture, I wish government would order the big trucks off the roads in bad weather.
Then I remember that this would end badly, probably with a toilet paper shortage east of the Mississippi.
There is nowhere to park a tractor trailer in Atlanta. The truck stops that do exist in Atlanta are pretty much the last places on earth you would ever want to park a vehicle, and there aren't that many of them.
Also, Commercial through traffic isn't even allowed on the Atlanta interstates and must stay on the bypass (485?). Kinda unfair to blame this one on the big trucks.
UP here before the ice storm hits, the cops block all the roads til the sanders n salters do their jobs but nobody allowed to drive on any hills til the s&s boys are done.
We been doing this for 125 years since horsey wagons n stagecoaches went out of style. Too bad southern cities don`t talk to northern communites but flounder around and wiggle like fish outa water and don go nowhere at all. [ice water that is].
I might get some trucks off the road and use others to moderate the traffic with rolling roadblocks. I’ve seen truck drivers to take it upon themselves to do it in bad weather here in Michigan. People get pissed about it but screw em.
I followed the same truck for 250 miles at between 20 and 40 mph once in a blizzard. I just hung back about 100 feet and kept rolling and passed dozens of cars in the ditch.
I attribute it to being in the north but you seldom see this problem over by Detroit and that’s the main trade corridor on the continent.
I guarantee you the truckers wished they wouldn't have to be there.
The reality is there is no place for them all to park at once. They gotta keep rolling.
