    My .02 cents... get outta that 1099 company having you pull tridems with NO experience, loaded incorrectly, and 'tail wagging the dog' syndrome.

    Best wishes, ma'am. My wife drives as well.

    ps: courtesy of @TripleSix .. luck in battle.

    I've already started looking into other companies. As soon as I have something else set up I'm out of the 1099 company. Thank you

    I don't recall seeing anywhere here where @chucomom was "pressured" into driving in bad conditions..?

    Stay off 80 in Wyoming.

    Chain up when the road is white.

    Don't be in a hurry.

    Stay off 80 in Wyoming.
    I'm stuck here. :(

    Don't drive that causes you to be a bigger hazard on the road than the snow.

    Pulling a spread axle / and'or tridem with no experience is kinda uncool. Different thread she posted.
