    Last time I put these cable chains on they were all missing when I did finally get down To a truck stop. Who knows where they went or how long they lasted..

    I have regular chains, but company policy is that if it's bad enough to need chains, it's too bad to drive safely. They don't mind if drivers choose to chain up, but don't expect it of anyone.

    At my company you are expected but won’t be thanked for delivering on time... sure as #### if something happens in any snow theyll blame you for attempting. Once you accept the load it’s yours period. No pay for sitting due to weather.

    Wyoming wasn't bad today for Wyoming standards, I'll be rolling up i84 tomorrow towards portland, should be able to get through the hills hopefully before the weather. If I need to chain, I need to park.

    Tomorrow night show time in the Piney Woods (NE TX), Little Rock, Paducah area (Sat 24th)

    The main attraction, tornadoes that walk the earth in organized line. It's going to be good to have them to break the rust off our alert systems.

    A very long time ago we had Hemis back home. V8 driven sirens able to burn off 5 miles of sea fog. Never mind the howl. It's when those #### things cough to life...

    Yes. I noticed they raised the threat risk a notch for Saturday. Wish I could be there. I'll be dealing with I-5 NB this weekend
