    What area are you running? Snow and ice keep the job interesting!

    Usually Ky to southern Oh and back. Occasionally to Columbus Oh or the Indy area. I am not afraid of the snow, I am afraid of others in the snow, I did it safely for 30 years but each day is more and more of a challenge with the aggressive and distracted drivers. Throw in the snow and all bets are off. Now that I don't have to do it, I am proud to call myself a fair weather driver, unless I am caught out in it. Drove in snow zero times last season and only one decent snow fall this year. My first bid job at UPS was Louky-Salt Lake (via Denver)-Louky, then Louky-Buffalo-Louky weekly. I don't miss running west of Denver on 70 in the middle of the night one bit, when stopping is not an option unless the road is closed.

    My buddy had a powder blue one. These flat-top chain trucks were not fun to load on the Vettes. Worked well for van and big trucks out of KTP.

    Had to unload and reload this in about a foot of snow. Not fun.

    When the Camaros first came back out and were shipped with those summer tires, I had one I couldn't get reloaded on flat snow pack. I had to lay my tire chains out on the ground to get enough traction to get it back on the truck. Can confirm: Was not a happy camper!

    Throw in -5 degrees and all you look like is a Zamboni. I actually had to reload one with those with racing slicks. Just so happened to be about 6 teenage boys on the car lot clearing snow off vehicles. They pushed me right up on that back bottom deck and away I went. The road salt had also melted under my trailer axles while I was unloading the other 6 SUV's so i pulled forward a bit and had a nearly clear spot of pavement.
