I'll bring my dashcam up and film them. Within a week they will be driving by the rules and regs.
BUMBACLADWAR Thanks this. -
Thankyou...2 more winters and I'm planning on semi-retiring,hopefully still intact.

I,I've been on I-5 part of the day, didnt see any logging trucks doing whats mentioned. it's raining, a couple of dryvans and reefers in a semi hurry. that's about it.
part of 97 may have some snow, doesnt look like all of it does. I'm not ruining up and down the 5 day in day out. when I hit the 5, day or night, there's certainly going to be trucks that pass me.BUMBACLADWAR Thanks this. -

Depends on what part of the United States Of America you are Trucking in. I tip my cup of coffee to some of those drivers for sure. You have to drive into the job and see what these guys have to do. No way would I go up there in the winters. I hitch about chaining up. Shoot that is nothing.
dca Thanks this. -
Came up out of Cali yesterday and Trip check (OR 511) said 97 was clear State line to Bend and packed snow on OR58 so opted for I5 roller coaster over the US97 & OR 58 route.BUMBACLADWAR, QuietStorm and dca Thank this.

Or 58 signs say
Vehicles under 12,000
Chains Required
Traction tires allowed
nothing about trucks
be sure chain up on the 58 -
They need to get the logs to the mill before their moisture content gets too low. //sarcasm.
