Winter truck wrecks are on the rise and too many families are blindsided when disaster strikes on icy roads.

David shares:

✔️ Why speed is the number one cause of winter truck crashes

✔️ What federal trucking regulations require during snow, ice, and low visibility

✔️ How the CDL manual defines “extreme caution” and how often truckers ignore it

✔️ What you can do to stay safe on the road

✔️ Why some truck drivers are unprepared or unqualified for winter conditions

✔️ The importance of having emergency gear in your vehicle
