CHAINING...are you ready?

Can't stop at Gary pete all of their brethren r out racin fed ex and the jersey trash haulers all niteacross 80 in the Keystone--all vying for the coveted furtherst off the mountain and deepest into the median awards

guess JB and Schneider will be slow for awhile

 

Speaking of Schneider:

 

You should have been on 70 this past Wednesday morning...Say between 0200-0800 hours.....

It took me about 5.5 hours to go from Edwards to Brighton....

We had to chain-up at Vail and run to Bakerville to take them off...

 

Wednesday afternoon it was snowing when I got to vail
I said self I aint sitting up here all night just to hafta chain to get to the bottom
so I sat a lil longer at the ta in the morning

swearing I will stay on 80 where I belong
quit trying to be so smart when I saw it snowing around SLC

 

Edwards to Brighton is about 130 miles....

I for one thought it was gonna be a repeat from the week before when I had to shut it down in Frisco...Too many cars going back to Denver and snowing.....Not a good combo....

Anyway...I had an 0700 Drop in Brighton....Got up early thinking by that time....The plows would have cleared the ribbon and chain control would have been at least lifted at the grade to the tunnels...
Nope....I had to have the chains all the way to Bakerville...

I stopped in Silverthorne to check the chains....Had to retighten two sets...And then helped out another driver who never chained-up before at the Silverthorne chain-up...

Yep...Getting up early and I still was two hours late.....

Oh well...The receiver was cool about it...Because every other truck was at least 4 to 5 hours late....The others all stopped at either Dotsero or Eagle...

 

Yeah....80's not too bad.....Yet......
