“Be prepared for winter conditions. Be safe.”
We’re speeding towards the end of another year, and hope everyone had a successful year. Along with yearend, we have the dreaded winter and the unpredictable conditions that go with it. In Alberta, we got a taste of winter in September, and no one was prepared. In a 24-hour period, we got a large dump of snow, and there were 270 plus reported collisions. I find that figure astounding. We know winter comes every year so be prepared, adjust your driving habits to driving to conditions, remind yourself of the different winter driving skills you will need and, above all else, pack a survival kit in case your storm stayed on the highway. I have trouble understanding the news reports when it is suggested that the highway caused the collision. I don’t know of a highway that drives!
I have recently read many articles about recruiting and retention. This is a complex issue for which there is no easy solution. My suggestions are to tap the untapped markets.
