Driving in winter demands a proactive mindset to avoid potential hazards and to know when it’s best to pull over for safety.
As the season unfolds, staying prepared is essential. Even experienced drivers can be caught off guard by sudden changes in road conditions.

First, make sure you have snow chains for extra traction and jumper cables to deal with cold-weather battery issues. Equip yourself with a windshield scraper to keep your view clear, and pack extra batteries and flashlights in case of power loss. Flares are also important for signaling help.
Include a shovel for digging out and a radio to stay updated on road conditions. Heavy-duty bungee cords can secure items, while kitty litter or salt helps with tire traction. Always keep at least a half-full tank of fuel, and add anti-gel fuel additive to prevent freezing.
Pack heavy-duty winter clothing, knee pads, blankets, and sleeping bags for warmth. Bring extra food and water, and don’t forget a first aid kit.
Finally, while it’s warm, clean your truck thoroughly inside and out—making winter travel safer and more comfortable. Being proactive can ensure peace of mind when winter weather strikes.
