I-90 Minneapolis to Spokane

It's not a matter of what the weather looks like. Either you're carrying or you're in violation. BTW... this time of year, they just get more expensive.

 

You almost begin to think they are made of gold.

 

Excellant thread and info! Sitting at the Love's close to the Idaho/washington border. Be prepared for quick weather changes. We may have been the last westbound truck allowed up without chains on the last mtn. pass. The eastbound traffice going up the mtn. Was a cluster. Jack knifed semis and oversized load going nowhere soon. Everybody else just stopped in the slow lane and starting putting chains on. Nice drive for the most part. Would have liked to have stopped at that Montana Car Museum.

 

how much do chains cost?


And what's the lost revenue for SITTING for two days for NOT having chains?

 

You got the 50% seasonal surcharge...

 

Well, yeah! It's a racket... you want your chain's 'n bungies on the truck by the beginning of September to be legal in Colorado. After then they know they've gotcha by the shorthairs!!

 

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, chains are required, Snowqualmie maybe?

..I made it up on my first trip over that.

I didn't know about all those fancy named mountain passes until I had already driven over them.
