When winter is in full swing truck drivers are facing snow-covered and icy roads. So when the weather conditions are like that, truck drivers have the full right to refuse to drive, because after all, it is not safe to drive with an exception for the (ice road truckers).
Thereupon, this is one of the truckers’ rights that is supported by the United StatesCode of Federal Regulations.
When a Truck Driver Can Refuse To Drive
A truck driver can refuse to drive when there are adverse weather conditions. That is to say, when the weather is hazardous, and when it is unsafe to operate a commercial vehicle on the highways.
Still, when a truck driver refuses to drive, he must have reasonable reasons. First of all, his decision should be based on his personal observations, as well as based on the weather reports.
