CHAINING...are you ready?

Once u get pass vail pass its really smooth sailing from there...I dont see what the big deal is...it has sharp curves and I think like 2 truck stops but its not bad...if you heavy it will work on your patience. ..but to each is own I guess

 

Ironpony told me WY idea of plowing is wait for the wind to plow it away
now today it was snowing crossing 58/CA then a few times in AZ on 40 in upper elevations
winter isn't going to end ever

 

Besides that...The stretch between Cheyenne and Wamsutter is FedEx's "main" Drop-Yard in WY....

 

LOL... That's so bad, it's good!!

 

You just figured that out?

 

Gee... and all I got was wind. Winter must have it out fer ya... or did the ghosts of wives past just do a better job of bribing ol' man winter to plague ya???

 

Glad im in texas

 

I am ashamed to admit it, but Mother Nature won the chain up battle today, heading SB on US 285, tried to put my chains on, usually I can knock out 4 singles and be back under power in 20 minutes or less. Today, it took me 90 minutes to get 3 singles on before I had to give up. Now, there's a caveat to this, it was a very slick, wet, slushy, icy snow and every time I would try to get on my chain boards they or I would slide, every time I stepped to the ground I would slip, finally my trans torque locked leaving me stranded. I still made it another 15 miles before I turned around (not because of the weather but because I would arrive at my shipper too late to get loaded) and headed back to Denver. I believe the score is Mother Nature 1 Striker 300, she's got some catching up to do.

 

I with you. Any place that requires chains is a place I will not run. I grew up driving in WI. If I can't safely make a trip without chains, the trip isn't happening.

 

nice work there.
