    "MaxxForce Sucks!" >>> Yes, and it sucks big time... I've just moved from Volvo after 3 years and got "rewarded" with new 2013 Maxforce... OMG... The truck is so uncomfortable - especially the seat itself and ridiculous shelf on the door that makes your left hand 3-4"higher then right one... engine has no power... same for jake-brake - anemic... There are many, many issues that I never had with Volvo... BRAND NEW truck and it shakes like crazy - no one can figure out what the f....problem is. It's under warranty... Makes me sad to think and write about it...

    Where can i get ticked for not carry chains?
    I dont have them in my current truck, I dont know how to put it, dont want to learn how to put and will never put it. Even if i have it, I will never put it.
    I am very lazy.

    I know OR issued tickets, WA(they need it, but will they issue ticket?), CO - I only use I-70 on summer with very light load
    anybody else?
    CA? they do not required to carry, but that about I-80? that they do in case of snow?
    tell me park
    or stop before ask for chains and tell me go back sacromento/reno if i dont have it or dont want to use

    I delivering Monday for Reno, NV. Can I go to CA for pickup without chains?

    As long as there is no storm going over Donner, and they aren't stopping trucks to check if they have chains, you will be OK to go. But if there is a storm and they are requiring trucks to chain up...you won't get ticketed, but you will get turned back to either buy chains or to wait out the storm.
