    Seeing it and actually driving a big truck in it are totally different, it's what you don't see is what gets you.

    Dang that ice!
    Driving a big rig thru it would be different... no denying it.
    I won't forget taking the motorhome thru a big snow/ice storm... it sucked!

    That was a pic going over the sisques, light layer of ice under the snow three accidents happened while we were going down it. even a big truck that was in front of us with a rookie driver almost jack knife in front of us driving a Semi is a lot different than a motor home. kind of hard to have a bad jack knife in a motor home. They shut I5 down just as we reached the bottom keep in mind this is a 6% grade we are going down with out chains. and i myself have seen a lot worse try driving a 2 lane in ice and blowing snow and trying hard to keep the windshield from icing up.

    If you want to get a good feeling on central i suggest you read back thru the 558 pgs and i promise you will have all the info you seek. but to save you some time they are like most companies they have their good and bad sides.

    I know how to drive in the rain, I know how to drive in the snow, I know how to drive in the mountains, I also know a million other things, but the most important thing I know is that I really don't know anything and have lots to learn.

    Something about assuming is relevant here as well.

    A couple years ago I towed a boat through a February Storm, took me 9.5 hours to get from Auburn, CA to Reno, NV on I-80. They shut down 80 in both directions several times, spent 3 hours just below Nyack waiting for them to reopen the road. Slid into a snowbank on the hill right after the hwy 20 split with 6500lbs behind me, not to make excuses but I was driving a 2WD Van with no ABS. Got pulled out, switched into a pickup with 4WD and a smaller boat. I'll tell you what, a three-lane highway that looks like a skinny country road is probably not the best place to be. Going down Donner Summit was sure a hoot, it was so icy that the trailer was sliding back and forth with the curves in the road =)

    Having experience is great but the minute i think i know everything is the very minute i quit driving. That is when i will become a danger to myself and the motoring public and i don't think i could live with myself if my ego got someone killed
