    Ice, Snow and an Mountain Pass

    One thing I've been taught about driving trucks....... Rule of thumb, get into a lower gear "before" you break the crest of the hill. And whatever gear it took you to get to the top, that's the gear you should be in going down the other side. Let the gearing help you down the other side but...

    Health issue and hiring
