Heading to oreientation for "Good News Trucking Corp." Will Update Regularly

You get 2 per package....

 

Sheesh. Still... dang. Nope, I'm out. LoL.

 

Lol I know... I almost booked a load today going to Oregon but then I would have to either buy those or chains and after a little thinking, Nope... haha not going to Oregon... Just don't feel like buying something im not going to use... Ill have to wait until after Winter to get my Northwest Fix

 

I forget how much they paid for chains, on two different occasions. they werent cheap. thye tried their best to get us to buy em. uh, NO

 

Plus that added weight... My trucks already heavy enough

 

Ya know, if I 'lived' out that way like Ruger, guess I'd have not much of a choice. BUT because I do, I can and will choose NOT.

Just me.

Hats off to fuel haulers, all the same. I don't yank THOSE tanks, and I'm getting up to speed on the dang securement stuff for the winter when my tank won't pump off anymore, LoL!

Still, no chains...on the tires, LoL..... in Ohio (atm, anyway!) ~!

 

Whatever. Go sit in the truck stop with all of the other wannabes while the rest of us chain up and get the job done

 

Caution...Old guy story: circa 1974

Yeah, the station has to have the gas. Or the bulk plant does. But sometimes that takes a major effort. Like loading in Chico and taking 32 to Chester? At night? In January? In a Cantlay and Tanzola truck with a screaming 260, a ten speed, and a heater that directed warm air at my right boot when it worked at all? Oh yeah, the good old days.
I remember putting the iron on at the Forest Ranch turnoff and then running chained up all the way to Chester and not meeting a single solitary soul or seeing any fresh tracks in the snow until I finally got to Hwy 36. It took four hours from Deer Creek to Chester.
In Chester two CalTrans plows were parked side by side watching the snow fall. They weren't plowing, just watching.
When I got to town the power was out and the estimate for repair was three days. But the High School got my load of heating oil. School was cancelled due to the storm but they had their oil. I knew where the fill was and it only took an hour to dig down thru the snow to find it.
I came home the back way, down past Canyondam and Almanor and Crescent Mills. Solid snow all the way. I took the chains off at the scales at the Greenville Y on 70. They sure were shiny.
Nothing on Feather River Canyon except rain and slush. Felt like I was on vacation.
I figure if I'm ever in the market for a good used snow plow I'll get one from CalTrans. They hardly get used at all.

 

Lol just ran hwy 32 last night and went to susanville.

 

I don't care what anybody does as long as it isn't in the chain up areas. I've,along with other drivers,have had to chain up in the travel line before because of the nappers.
