US, AS ALWAYS. WE APPRECIATE YOU. JUST RIGHT OFF THE TOP, GIVE US AN IDEA OR AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE SEEING OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. REALLY, DRIVERS ARE DOING REALLY GOOD. THEY’RE TAKING IT SLOW LIKE THEY SHOULD. AND I THINK IT HELPED US BEING SO COLD AND THEN COMING IN SO QUICKLY EARLY REALLY HELPED US. SO WHEN RUSH HOUR CAME AROUND, IT WAS ALREADY HAPPENING AND THAT EVENT WAS WAS GOING ON. SO PEOPLE WERE TAKING IT VERY SLOW. WE’RE SEEING SOME SINGLE VEHICLE CRASHES LIKE WE DO IN THIS TYPE OF PRECIPITATE ACROSS I-40. SO WE’RE REALLY OUR MAIN POINTS IN STATE ARE THAT NORTHEAST. WE’RE REALLY GETTING HAMMERED UP THERE IN THAT TULSA AREA. SO THAT’S REALLY THE FOCUS OF THE TRIAL RIGHT NOW. BUT IN THE METRO, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS PEOPLE TAKE IT SLOW AND REALLY PAY ATTENTION, THOSE ON AND OFF RAMPS AS WELL, THEY’RE NOT AS HIGHLY TRAVELED AS THE INTERSTATE IS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, DON’T DRIVE OVERCONFIDENT. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES? IS IT PEOPLE SLIDING OFF THE ROADS? ARE THEY NOT ABLE TO GET UP HILLS LIKE WALK ME THROUGH SOME OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT YOU’RE SEEING IN TERMS OF LIKE TRACTION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES IT’S JUST THE GETTING YOUR VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. SO ONCE PEOPLE GET GOING AND THEY START TO MOVE, YOU KNOW, THEY GET GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST TO BE ABLE TO BRING THEIR VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. AND THAT’S REALLY THE ISSUE WE SEE EVERY TIME THERE’S AN EVENT LIKE THIS, WHEN SOMETHING COMES UP AND THEY HAVE TO BREAK REALLY QUICKLY, IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THAT VEHICLE TO STOP AND A LOT OF TIMES, YOU KNOW, YOU START TO SLIDE SIDEWAYS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO WE SEE THOSE SINGLE VEHICLE CRASHES BECAUSE THEY’RE MOVING SIDEWAYS AND THOSE VEHICLES ARE MADE TO GO FORWARD AND BACKWARD, NOT SIDEWAYS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT’S REALLY THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW. WE’RE SEEING SOME PROBLEMS ON HILLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT THIS FLEET HAS HELPED US A LITTLE BIT. AND AS THE CARS DRIVE OVER IT, HOPEFULLY YOU KNOW, WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE IT DETERIORATE WITH IT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MELTING AND THEN REFREEZING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND AS WE LOOK AHEAD HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE A MULTIDAY EVENT WITH THIS WEATHER, WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE AS PEOPLE ARE HEADING OUT ON THE ROADS? I MEAN, YOU MENTIONED TULSA IS IS ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FOCUSES RIGHT NOW FOR ANYBODY IN OKC WHO NEEDS TO TRAVEL OUT THERE, JUST BE OUT. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE? BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE IS LEAVE EARLIER THAN YOU NEED TO AND THEN MAKE SURE YOU COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW WHERE YOU’RE AT AND WHERE YOU’RE GOING IN CASE YOU DO RUN INTO SOME DIFFICULTY. BUT REALLY, I THINK THEY’RE PASSABLE. EVERYTHING IS PASSABLE RIGHT NOW. JUST START EARLIER AND DRIVE SLOWER AND I THINK YOU’LL MAKE IT JUST FINE. OKAY. SPEED TROOPER ERIC FOSTER, AS ALWAYS,
