LOL The idea of traveling in the winter without emergency rations in my pick-up is a non-starter. Bad things can happen even on a short "milk run".

Hopefully this is a wake-up call to truckers that it is not the responsibility of LE (be they RCMP, CHP or any of the other highway patrol/public safety organizations) to ensure that peeps traveling the highways and by-ways are well fed. If that was the case, DOT would establish emergency ration requirements which would be inspected at every weigh station -- just what truckers need, additional regulations. Take a little responsibility for your own well being, check the weather and make contingency plans.

But I'm not DOT and some folks will only ever do the minimum requirements.
