Drive Thru It Or Shut It Down?

Are snow chains allowed?

 

Eh I don't pick up or deliver anything to Peopletoba so I don't run that stretch...
Occasionally if I take 90 instead of 94 I'll drop down 29 to 80 to avoid most of Chicago... that can be a fun ride too

The shortcut us212... never in winter. My balls aren't that big.

 

I can't count the miles I've driven using the crown in the road to keep me out of the ditch.

 

US 212 going east from crow nation is good almost everyday.

 

Driver must've been loaded low and heavy. Like a load of lead slabs for a car battery plant or something. Trailer slid out, but didn't show any lean towards tipping over.

I woulda parked, but I have never driven in Canada. Don't know the weather or the roads or the parking situation. So i'm not even gonna try to judge this particular situation. I will give the driver props for keeping it moving and outta the ditch or median, though.

 

Except for the same wind and iced over road and some 6 and 7% grades, zero cell signal, lots of animals at night and the only civilization to be seen is Indian land where they probably all have a difficult time walking a straight line at any given time of day....

In summer yes I'll do it. Winter I will do the 50 miles extra on 90 if going that way.

 

I drove that area all winter in 2016 it's not a big deal.

 

Saw a lot of trucks doing that one morning on Hwy 7 between Rosetown and Saskatoon. Two lane road, but the wind was blowing them onto their shoulder.
I was empty going the other way, but half of my lane has perfectly dry, so I was able to keep it straight. However since the other half of my lane was glare ice, I couldn’t go over 70 kph (45 mph) as the drives on that side would spin out fighting the wind.
Fortunately I have full locking axles, so I just locked up my forward axle and boogied.

 

Generally, yes.

 

Well.
Small balls here I guess.

Have an aversion to excess risk with my new equipment. And the fact I can only get my steers to 11500-11600 makes it squirley.
