While Florida and Georgia don't typically experience winter weather, other portions of the southeast do, and that means commercial drivers could face hazardous road conditions in the coming weeks. In case of an accident, keep your paperwork and insurance information close by and easy to access to prove that you're in compliance and clear to be back on the road as soon as possible.
