    Funny, the one time I went down Donner, I stopped at that check station for my 30-minutes. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Good info!

    I dont think sisters or parleys are worse they only get bad when it snows and FedEx and england think they can get to the top empty no chains. In donner you dont have a choice u need chains or else u can't pass. But when its dry donner is worse. U have 4 wheelers and slow ### trucks

    As many on this site would, you should relentlessly taunt them and remind them that they are not cut out to be a true supertrucker, and therefore are not worthy of being a steering wheel holder, like many supertruckers before them. Embrace the inner superrucker, pray to whichever god you choose, and remind your co-driver that they are inferior before the lord supertrucker, who runs Donner Pass three times a day, on solid ice, overweight, jakes on, 15MPH over the speed limit because the supertrucker only follows the law of supertrucker, not mortals.

    If you must, offer to sacrifice a minivan carrying no less than a family of five, for they do not belong on the same four lane highway as the super trucker.

    I do believe in section 109 of the Super trucker hand book. It forbids wanna be's from using the term super trucker in a derogatory way. So please refrain and or the forum police will be notified.

    I've been over Donner pass several times in Stevens transport trucks wgtg no engine brake. It's no big deal.

    Unless your hungry, then you need the super trucker iron pot to cook your co-driver or bugs bunny, if you can catch him. Hossenfeffer or David Hassel Hoff.

    [QUOTE="Hang - Man";3742994]I guess those days are over ? Does anyone's company let them run loose ? Or is it a federal crime to veer off the company's route?[/QUOTE]

    I think with most large companies it's against policy to even change lanes without permission.
