    Yes... Be worried. Very Very Very Worried.


    Right on topic... Just the same as every other thread here. We talk on topic, just not the original topic!


    Look it there Mr. Jackson! The woman hasn't even met you & she already knows that you are "special" :biggrin_25522:

    Ok, so Soon is right, we need to get back to the topic.

    When we are lucky enough to actually get our CDL, go to work for a company, and get a route, one that goes through heavy snows(the big Passes etc)what do most truckers use for weather forcast? I am thinking ODOT. And then, say we are headed for that pass and it says chance of snow. We do head on into it because it says "chance" of snow right? So we have to be prepared to chain up, pull over, or whatever(turn back?)

    In my way of thinking, you can't predict how bad it will get so you have to try. Just trying to get this thread back on snow and ice, so maybe you should chain up, lol:biggrin_2559: Somebody thump me on the head with, what was it, a sledge hammer:biggrin_25524: Oh well, nevermind, i'll just drink another cup of coffee.
