Great West Casualty Company cites seven essential winter driving techniques for commercial drivers:

• Maintain proper following distance
• Observe proper speed for conditions
• Maintain one lane
• Be attentive to road ahead
• Avoid distractions
• Yield the right of way
• React properly to hazards to assist in getting you safely to your destination

In extreme weather, drivers should find a safe place to pull off the road, notify dispatch of their location and wait for weather conditions to improve to resume travel.
