CHAINING...are you ready?

I'm done playin' in the snow and ice for now....I'm headed to LA harbor...... *Cough*.....

 

Thats one the times I'll gladly shut it down. I dont like being light on icy roads.

I was goin through Wyoming one night last winter when all the bridges and overpasses were icy as hell and I was only carrying about 17k. Everytime I went over an overpass, I could feel my steers sliding towards the shoulder. It wasnt enough to skyrocket the pucker factor but once i got to the other end of the overpass, I could feel a slight jerk to the left as my steers regained traction.

 

The only snow there is shaved and comes in very expensive glasses. Or is illegal.

 

the only thing I hate about this time of year is the wind, #### near ended up on my side Friday because of it. It was blowing, didn't think it was that bad, punched it to pass some slower trucks, next thing I know, the box is leaning, and I'm gliding for the shoulder. ON/OFF the brakes to get keep it upright and get it stopped. #### front pins vibrated open and lifted the box partially off the chassis. CSP saw it happen, he was cool, level 2 while we were waiting for the wrecker to come and winch the box back in place, no ticket, he figured I went through enough.

 

OK all u "ICE RAOD WANNABEE"S" ...chain or no chain.....if u gotta chain up ....then shuther down!...don't be stupid! it's YOUR LICENSE!...not their's!

 

YUP!... the WIND! and Drivers who dont Pretrip!

 

Stupid chain,

LMAO - "Driver" who is scared of winter roads.

 

So that's what you think that means? If so then you propose a driver that is not comfortable driving on ice to press on, no matter if it means risking loosing control of the truck? Sorry but your advise lacks any degree of common sense or intelligence!! Belittle, harass, other drivers, because they make an informed to decision not to place themselves or other motorists in jeopardy.

You may have much more experience driving on ice and snow due being in Canada, then someone in Florida. For you it may be another normal day, however for someone that has never driven in such conditions, it would be nothing but foolish to try, especially ones that are new to driving a truck.
