    Avoid Donner Pass tonight. Traffic is moving slower than molasses in January.

    While they want everybody high on weed, their dot and staties are looking to bust truckers every which way. Not to mention the traffic is absolutely horrendous. At least you made it across the Country!
     
    Metallica88 Thanks this.

    Well, we delivered our first load of plastic sheets in Sparks Nevada. Now we are at a truck stop in Madera California waiting for our load home.

    Tell me about it. Iowa was a skating rink. Wyoming was just an absolute mess. 80 in Nevada was mandatory chains but the officer came over and said it's your call. The trainer decided to push on with no chains. At Calex they run super singles and instead of chains they use socks. I have no idea but I'm learning.

    @Metallica88 I thought putting socks on your tires while it snows wont help much as it wont have much grip on pavement right.
     
    Metallica88 Thanks this.

    I have no idea to be honest. I never heard of the socks till I came too Calex.

    And I dont know which is worse for boredom: 80 in Nebraska or Nevada! Nevada definitely gives that 'hills have eyes' feel.
