Considering ND Oil fields

I was just thinking today. As far as driving itself. ND is better off during winter. I know. Have always said it’s better colder. Because of the ice. I ain’t never had a problem on ice below ten degrees. Yes, slow down. Take it easy. But not a problem. Always have traction.

 

I have 7 years experience with 50k pounds on 3 axels in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
I don’t need a comparison of warm ice to cold ice turned into dry roads versus ice.
An excuse for conflict?
Only idiots driving too fast end up in the ditches on cold ice.

 

Been doing class A for only 18 months. Worked pneumatic tanker first year. Gone I70 over Co. Rockies over a dozen times. Had a tractor that seals went out on rear end. Couldn’t engage second axle. First snow last fall. Did a run to Gypsum Co. Got it done. Texted the boss: Got that load done. Can’t keep going over Rockies with this rear end. His reply: Chains work wonders. My reply: To say that is completely irresponsible
You can understand why I only put in one year there. Stuck it out only because that first year is important. Show I can take it.

On the wet/dry pavement. It’s obvious. Basic common horse sense. Shouldn’t be worth mentioning. Realizing some might not comprehend.

 

On that run... above post. While snowing. Went over Vail Pass at 20mph. DOT following me. Rationalize they were looking for my trailer tandems sliding. That company ran super singles. Doh!

 

Haven’t looked into Wyo.
Gillette is about half the distance.
Just kinda looking at info right now. Thinking...
Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve been told to stay away from water in ND. They’ve had too many idiot water haulers. They hate water haulers with a passion. Also same said the others are ok.
