Do you struggle to adjust to the road conditions as the weather changes in the lead up to winter? Daylight hours decrease, traction conditions change rapidly and slower speeds may be necessary to remain safe. Make sure that all your lights are on when necessary and let's drive for the season.

Question: Would fill me in on the rules of the road regarding jacked up or raised pickup trucks? I'm often blinded by headlights from those trucks and I would not want to get in a head on with one of them as their bumper is about head high for me.
The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) has established a 60 day consultation period to received feedback from the trucking industry on version 1.3 of the Technical Standard for Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). That consultation period ends on November 12, 2024.
