You are doing exactly what drivers should be doing by taking advantage of all the technology available. Alot of the older guys are set in thier ways and just refuse to do something as simple as get a smart phone.
As far as my advice being out dated (good catch),you will find I only offer advice on issues I have alot of experience with. My only desire is to help the new guys coming up behind me from making the same mistakes I did.

Good luck. I hope it works out for you there. Before I parted ways there was quite a lot of 'micromanaging' going on. They'd tell me he long of a break to take, when and where to do laundry and get groceries, and every time I came home even for a couple of days I was told to empty out my truck so some slob coud use it- sorry, NO ONE sleeps in my bed but ME. I don't do the sleeping bag-and-backpack thing

Chaining is a fact of life on mountain routes. Learn to chain. Practice on your own time on dry pavement and get your routine down.
I'm looking into getting the Chain Up Tool set for the next winter. Anyone used this and if so how do you like it?

Actually since you now only need singles, I'm making a drive up ramp out of 2x8 wood. Should make chaining faster. Last time on Eisenhauer (sp?), I dropped the trailer to chain and it made it easier.
