Speaking of snow. How often do you guys find yourselves having to break out the chains?

We have chains and I put them on once just to make sure I could. Luckily I haven't needed them on the road. (Knock on wood)

 

Just something to consider on the Ft collins to bismark loads, and no nebraska... if that is an alcohol load, magnum may not have paid for the permit required to haul alcohol through nebraska.

 

If that is true, I guess they should have told me. I pulled a beer load thru there enroute to Moorhead & got pulled in at the N.Platte scales

 

Drivers at every company are required to know what permits are in the permit packet
not that I have opened and looked at mine since the New year

 

Does anybody know if they make windshield wipers that aren't worthless in a snow storm?

 

good luck driver

 

Ok, which states in the lower 48 require a seperate alcohol permit and which don't? I've been doing this 20+ years and have hauled Fort Collins beer into NE for delivery within the state, and have never heard of a NE alcohol permit, and this was when I was working for a NE based company

 

Pretty sure New Jersey requires a permit to haul beer.

 

I honestly don't think it's the wipers that are the problem, I never had a big issue with icy/snowy windshields until they started making more and more aerodynamic trucks. My old FLD would ice up the wipers some, but not as bad and as fast as these latest model trucks do. And none of the old tricks seem to work

 

And it's only a trip permit. I would haul beer out of Newark for Crete, and every truck had to get a new permit every load.
