Well hay I guess every terminal is different in what a TM will try to get their workers to do.
Legal to turn down a snow,and ice covered trailer no question.
However I still say you as a worker are a lot better off having a steward in your corner.
Maybe just my opinion?
You know AP I never been in this type of country where the snow is that big of a problem. But reading what you guys go through. I would have no problem turning down a load with ice and snow on the roof. We have snow running up in the north west. But I don't ever remember it getting like what you guys go through. You are giving good solid advice.
