Need some I-80 west help....:

Red Hot Mess try moving an oversize up and down the hills or passes. 130' and over 200,000.
Miss a shift can ripp a driveline out in a heart beat.. Find you gear and leave it there is my motto...

First multi axle ld. I did was from Toole,Ut to Lodi,Ca. in Nov. going across I80. Guess what it started snowing half way across Nv. Was nervous, but I made it no problem. Slow and steady.

 

The west is absolutely beautiful though. All of it, especially NorCal, Oregon, Washington, 90 across Idaho, etc. most beautiful scenery ever.

 

RedHot Mess, wanna a fun cruise. Run US 6 in Nv.. Got some sharp hills there and not many places for stopping or try Hwy 50 in Nv..

 

My home town....Ely, US 50/US 93....

Easy drive from Ely to Fallon....if you like some steep climbs and never seeing a car for an hour or so in between! They don't call it "the loneliest highway" for nothing!

 

Yep last fall we ran from Wendover to ely to Tonapah to Fallon to Carson city then up to Reno with wind towers.. Talk about a long ride and 2 days.
Well day and a half. No night running allowed..

 

I totally agree, I lived in Laramie WY for six years and loved it.

 

Good posts by all, just remember chp here are ticket happy, antelope scales is a training ground for rookies it gets bad there, trucks are 55 in Ca, cars 65 - 70depending on area,watch the cars. Drivers out here are stupid, donners not that bad,

 

Iv,e lived and worked in Roseville all my life done donner countless times, they tend to shut 80 down alot more now due to spin outs cuase fools can,t drive in snow out here, where will you heading to out here, truck stops suck here to, carry chains.

 

No the trainee and his trainer died in that accident (swift)

You must have come down the big hill on 68 at Coopers Rock and turned onto I 79.
