<You put sandbags in your truck? Why?>

When the snow is deeper than axle height, extra weight especially in the
rear of a truck, can make the difference in getting home or not.
Sand in bags is safer to carry. Much better than concrete blocks and I've
done both.
Around here, "tube sand" will be available in most home centers in another
month or two for carrying in vehicles. The stuff is coarsely graded and runs
between blow sand and very small pebbles and comes sealed in heavy duty
plastic bags about two feet long and eight inches in diameter. Weight is
about fifty pounds.
