A smart dispatcher will run a student I-70 and below and keep them out of the storms. I doubt you'll get any serious bad road driving and chaining this winter. Now next winter is a different story.![]()
Considering winter is coming, where is the worst place in USA to have to chain-up?

We will see. I'm betting this winter is going to be fun. Lol.

That's eerily prophetic. Do you have a Farmers Almanac that we need to be looking at?truckon and CondoCruiser Thank this.

Some of the biggest winter messes I've ever seen were on I-70 and I-40 though KS and OK, not to mention I-64 between St. Louis & Louisville. There wasn't a whole lot of chaining in those areas, but there probably should have been.Cali Hawk Thanks this.

My 1st year I had to be pushed over Snoqualmie... Had every chain on but was empty. Was doing fine till guy in front of me skidded out.

Any where in Wyoming in the winter sucks. They will close the road when its not snowing .

Seems like every time I go over Elk in the winter I have to dodge a set of rolled over FedEx pups.
-
Guess im finally have to go over Elk again and find out what the attraction is-?did it once years ago and went right back to runin 30 just don't c the point

Funny u say that.I ended up getting stuck in center lane and part right lane I hit 70mph so I have momentum to make it up its snowing blowing wind and ice I get 3/4 way up I was doing so good but,....... as all else c.r and swift and few others who we re light were Jack knifed by sliding backwards....
As soon as I stopped I started sliding backwards with all my brakes applied. Finally stopped. While everyone else was stopped behind me I was like screw this jumped out laid my chains out less then 10 minutes me and another swifty in a grey t660 were making our own path. Once we passed the lincoln memorial hell broke loose visibility 1% drove all the way to Cheyenne and took my chains off. Got to Loveland no snow in sight hahah -
Yeah I love the Farmer's Almanac. It's suppose to be a bad winter. There was a bunch of them wooly caterpillars running around. The old timers say that's a sign of a bad winter. I know TN is overdue!
