Are your drivers prepared if they get stuck in the snow?

Here are some of our tips for how to stay warm while they wait for a tow:

1. Keep a window cracked, this will let the moisture from your breath leave the vehicle.
2. Keep a down comforter in the truck. Down comforters provide instant warmth over sleeping bags.
3. Turn the heat all the way up until the cab is warm, then shut off the engine so the fuel doesn’t run out all the way.

By keeping these tips in mind and making sure your drivers are aware of them, this stressful situation becomes a little less worrisome and they can patiently wait for the tow to arrive. If you need help creating winter safety procedures give us a call at 715-551-9503.
