On many Russian winter roads you can see an unpleasant and incomprehensible picture. Orphaned wagons, half disassembled and covered with snow, are dead weight. Most likely, no one will pick them up from there. Why do owners leave expensive vehicles to their fate?

There can be several reasons for such a loss of a truck. The first is that the driver did not have time to get out in the spring until the winter road "fell". This usually happens when the weather is warm outside, as a result of which the winter road "falls" earlier than usual. The road here turns into a swamp, from which you can no longer get out. Here is the car until next season.

The second reason lies in the freezing of the car. In such places, the temperature often drops to -60 degrees and the fuel system freezes. The drivers leave and go to the picket to wait out the frost, and then they come back, burn fires to warm up the transport. But there are situations when you cannot get to the picket and there is no hitchhiking. In order not to freeze, they have to burn their cars.

The third reason is breakdown. There is no connection on the winter road. The only thing that saves us is a satellite phone, which not everyone has. In a similar situation, it remains either to hitchhike to the city for the necessary part, or to try to contact someone from your acquaintances by radio to buy it and transfer it by the same rides.

Drivers try not to leave the truck unattended, it can be partially disassembled, and then the repair will be unjustifiably expensive / Photo: drive2.com

Usually, drivers try not to leave the truck unattended, as it will simply be partially disassembled, and then much more money will be needed for restoration and evacuation. In some cases, the cost of the twisted parts may be higher than the cost of the machine itself. Therefore, the drivers either try to drag the vehicle to the picket, or stay in it until help arrives. And if this is not possible, then the truck is left to rot on the winter roads. This is how a graveyard of trucks appears.
