While commercial vehicles are required after Sept. 1st. to carry chains, I don't believe there are any traction law alerts at this time. If it's not snowing, might get away without having any, I've found, CDOT has no sense of humor, and best to comply.

Buy some bungees and if you’ve never chained watch some videos. Side of the road with vehicles rushing by is not the time nor the place to practice new skills.
Be sure to do them correctly, break chains. Throw chains, and or tear up truck
And tires.
If you’ve never driven the mountains best to be careful it will bite you in the ###.
Utah has some pretty good hills west of green river UT over to I-15SoulScream84 and Pamela1990 Thank this. -
you are correct, they get tired of the ignorant rookies blocking the roads and not knowing how to chain.
And burning the trucks and trailers to the ground from overheated brakes.SoulScream84, Pamela1990, Last Call and 1 other person Thank this. -
I love the drive, especially Glenwood canyon...but I prefer to do it in a car on vacation. Be sure to stop in Rifle and stare at meth heads while eating at the Weinerschnitzel to celebrate getting through.
VinceBlack, SoulScream84, Pamela1990 and 1 other person Thank this. -
The y means my finger lifted too soon.....or "YOU" can have it too! Lol. I love people with a sense of humor in this CRAZY world of offended " snowflakes!" Welcome to the Forum Pamela! Stick around..... We have lots of fun here.
SoulScream84, Pamela1990, MACK E-6 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Did you put that "dot" on "Kentuckiana" because you were about to cross it out then changed your mind?
You should probably cross out Indy.
And you don't have to cross out Cincy unless you're hazmat.......The Spense Bridge has FULLY REOPENED!!!!
(A few weeks ago, but still.......)Pamela1990 Thanks this. -
Actually GOOGLE pegged me in KY. You saw my haphazard X'es.......what makes you think I could pull off a PERFECT DOT!!?? LOL. I guess the point i was trying to make is .. ....I run real easy Long Haul Solo lanes. Average 1500 mile runs...... no short haul...... no daily sitting at docks.... 3500 mile weeks for me are EASY. As I mentioned earlier..... Great Company.... great job!

Pamela1990, homeskillet and JolliRoger Thank this. -
It's a smooth rollercaster through the rockies and out the other side.
Nice scenic drive, you'll like it.
Kingty9183, Pamela1990 and Dockbumper Thank this. -
Meth heads in Rifle? None that I saw, Rifle a pretty traditional town. Besides, a stop at Culvers is much more worth it.Pamela1990 Thanks this.

Well, it DID cross my mind that the dot was "too perfect", but sometimes that stuff happens.........
Just playing. I'm glad you have a job you like!Pamela1990 Thanks this.
