    WA, OR, and ID use Norpass. If you only have EZ Pass, you'll only get green lights if they're closed.

    I heard $400 fine for not having required number of chains.

    They are linked now. At least ours are. Prepass covers those too.

    $150 and some change for not having them on the tires coming over Williamette when the lights are flashing. Officer said I was lucky, because it’s $500 on parts of the I84 ;)

    I guess it would, if it’s paying the bills. But to be honest with you, that was winter of 16-17. I chained more that winter, than I had the previous 10 combined. Run a lot of backroads too.

    And one gig required chaining per contract. The freight had to go! I dealt with that one for 2 weeks straight.

    Saw a LOT of #### those 2 weeks. A lot of drivers were tired of driving and parked their trucks in ditches, sides of mountains, and a couple parked them upside down. Strange bunch there.

    Ice, what ice?
