    I think the wind is supposed to calm down up there in a bit. Like, July or August? At least for a few hours. . .:biggrin_2554:

    Do majority of May drivers chain up or wait it out? I know they want us to chain. So far I've been able to avoid it.

    @Jimmy Hoffa... When it comes to things like chaining it's best not to attempt to follow the majority in either direction. Each situation requiring chains will be different and YOU need to make the decision that you feel comfortable with. Polling results won't save your job. Just my 2 cents. Good luck out there!!

    I would ask if there is any other truck coming through the area that might need a reset that you could swap with and get rolling. It's been four days that you have been sitting with another day and a half to come. You are definitely being a lot more patient than I would be.

    I was gonna take off this morning early but the way the winds were around elk they had me stay, now of course roads are closed. With 12000 in the box i guess in the long run its smarter to sit then get blowed over and then have to face all those consequences. I cant wait to get rollin though.
