[VAC] Re: winter towing

Ed,

I came upon your posting after I placed my post about winter driving. You obviously 
have much experience in driving commercially and in teaching saftey courses.

My personal, and compared to your experiences, limited towing experiences I've had the 
best results by staying off the truck's brakes and using only the trailer brakes when 
on ice. I've never had even the slightest feeling of jack knifing. However I apply the 
trailer's brakes very easily and they were in top condition. Maybe the trailer's 
wheels never locked up on me and I was just lucky?
