If your truck winterized?
Are you prepared for this winter? Many drivers will venture into some harsh conditions without the proper gear in their rigs. Even if you don’t think you will ever be dispatched out of the south and into the north, you should be prepared for anything. There have been record cold temperatures over the years and even states like Florida can produce dangerous cold temps. So make sure you have at the least, a warm blanket and a jacket.
Things that you should have, if you are traveling into the frigid northern states. Winter clothes including a coat, long underwear, thick socks, boots, gloves and a nice warm hat. Some extra things we advise. Hand warmers, you can pick them up where hunting supplies are sold. If you find yourself broke down in cold weather with no heater, a hand warmer will keep you warm for several hours till help arrives. Hand warmers are small packets that you activate by bending and shaking. They automatically throw off lots of heat. One in each glove, each boot and even one down your pants will keep you toasty warm. They also make the kind that stick to your skin which enables you to put it on the back of your neck.
