    I'm about 3000 miles away from my first preventive maintenance session. How long does it take to get your truck back when you turn it in for a PM? Do I just tell my DM that I need a PM and he'll route me back to the yard? Or do I just wait for the next time I'm there?

    If you go to Richmond, a whole day.
    If you go to West Memphis, 90 minutes.

    I would tell him your miles to PM a couple times... then it's no shock when you need to stay on the yard for a few days... LOL

    If you get out to WM, do it there or maybe request a route through there for the PM.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Hey, will I hit any States with Chain Laws in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, or North Dakota? Never hit any weather during the last trip North so I didn't grab them then.

    Thanks

    That's an interesting read.
    Thanks for posting it.

    Some funny variations from State to State.
    Oregon requires chains on the trailer too... LOL

    One State uses wording that seems to say that "motorcycles" are exempt from chain requirements... LOL ... ya, it's 20 below, snow blowing horizontally ... HEY, let's go for a ride!!!

    Again, thanks for the link, was interesting.
