Trucking companies are pulling drivers off the roads before a blizzard sweeps the metro area overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. High winds, blowing snow and the potential for slick roads could create unsafe conditions for truck drivers, according to Iowa Motor Truck Association president and CEO Brenda Neville. "The reaction time, everything is going to be slowed down because professional truck drivers are very astute to weather conditions. The minute that they sense that things are changing, they're going to make those adjustments in speed," Neville said. "Their ability to stop, especially when they're fully loaded, is much different than my ability to stop in a Tahoe, so sharing the road and giving those trucks a lot of room, even when there isn't weather conditions, is a tip that we give motorists regularly."In reaction to the conditions, Neville said many trucking companies already rerouted trucks, or instructed them to park until the weather improves. Emergency truck parking locations will also open to ensure there is enough space for truckers to wait out the storm.
