Before exit 170 everyone is pulled over putting on chains. If you're not comfortable with these conditions, best to stay in Sacramento at exit 85 Pilot. There is nowhere else for trucks to stop going Eastbound on I-80.

Just got a load assignment taking us back over the pass. It's snowing right now and Cal Trans expects chain controls to be put in place sometime this evening. I don't think we'll make it to Salinas today. Produce runs this time of year aren't helping the checkbook balance.

Yeah, I know, they'd call us "Whuss's".
But it is kinda nice not being pushed that way when we're new.
I know...we're being babysat...better than being a 3 wk solo that we met today in Sparks who didn't know he'd better find some chains. His dispatcher actually told him no chains were needed to haul his load over Donner Pass to Cali. We warned him...Also advised him not to listen to his dispatcher. We won't say what company that guy was with.
