Yeah they're quick to inspect your truck and dip your tanks but as far as road maintenance-#### it

 

Lol that sums up trucking in montana pretty well.

 

Love that 30 caliber "sand".
I replaced both windshields every May and usually needed another drivers side in between.
Loved my flat glass '96 IHC
Bought windshields for $75 each and carried a spare in 4 layers of cardboard under my mattress. Carried nylon pry-sticks, a zipper lock tool and a sample sized bottle of dish detergent.
Changed glass in a truck stop lot more than once.

 

I’ve never understood people that want bare pavement during a major snow event. From Billings to Laurel and then right around Livingston you could tell right where they dumped a bunch of chemical and then it got cold. Every place else was good snow pack and decent running. Saturday was in the teens and it was good, should be even better now that they’ve had sub zero temps. All the moisture should be out of the snow and traction should be fine until the temps warm back up.

 

I’m not sure. I haven’t stopped for a while. The parking lot was jam packed when I went by on Saturday though.

 

Those are literally perfect winter roads.

*complete facepalm*

 

A lot of folks don't realize there's a big difference between driving on -10* ice and 30* ice.

 

I started with the outside temperature gauge, then I got the TelTek fever. lol

 

Use to run on a lot of bush roads up north. Traction was plentiful at -30. Not nearly as good when it was near freezing.
